Hmmmm Survivor... for what 39 days eh!
In Canada we had a similar show except the Survivors were two couples that had to travel to a location and setup a homestead. Because this was a Canadian show, it lasted an entire year and went through a wonderful winter in Manitoba (I think). I think the prize was something like $100,000ca with no other rewards and no other help. They got a wagon full of supplies, some animals, and that was it. If both couples completed, both couples received $100,000.
Just think, they started out in a single tent! Survivor... muhahahahaha wimps! IMHO The Survivor people would never do a series in the winter, north of the 49th anywhere in the world!
