Survivor Spain (In Spanish: Supervivientes) is the Spanish version of the popular reality series Survivor. This version of the show has aired on Spanish broadcast channels Telecinco, from 2000 to 2001 and 2006 to the present, Antena 3, from 2003 to 2005, and on laSiete from 2009 to 2014.
Throughout its time on air in Spain, Survivor has gone by many names. From 2000 to 2001 it was known as Supervivientes: Expedicion Robinson, a show that closely followed the American version of the program. From 2003 to 2004 it was known as La isla de los FamoS.O.S, which, unlike its previous incarnation, resembled more of a Big Brother format and included celebrities as contestants (this format would be carried over to all future versions of the show). In 2005, it was known as Aventura en África and since 2006 it has been called Supervivientes: Perdidos en Honduras or, simply, Supervivientes.
The show was originally commissioned by TVE under the name Supervivientes: Expedición Imposible, yet they shelved the programme after recording, upon seeing the furore attracted by Gran Hermano. After Gran Hermano eventually became a runaway hit, Telecinco immediately picked it up.[1] For many years afterwards, the castaways were indeed nicknamed "Robinsones" as a legacy of the prerecorded first series.
Supervivientes has stayed in Honduras since 2011, however on Telecinco the show previously went to Panama, the Seychelles, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua; while the show went to the Dominican Republic twice, and to Brazil and Kenya on Antena 3.
The show's crew is made up of 350 people - 150 stay in Madrid while 250 work on-set in Honduras. The show was made into a Wii game in 2009.

Format and rules
Spanish Survivor followed the format of the American Survivor initially.
Aside from its original format, all subsequent versions of the Spanish version have followed a different set of rules closer to the Italian version, that have included a public vote, nominations, evictions, and a winner chosen by the public. The prize for the winner has varied from season to season depending on the show's current format: for the first two editions, the prize was valued in pesetas, and thereafter in euros.
The show generally gives the castaways a couple of weeks to settle in before evictions start. Episodes usually include an immunity and reward challenge, yet these are done live and so do not take as much time as those in other versions. The general rule of thumb for evictions is that multiple castaways are nominated by the cast, and one castaway (usually the immunity winner, but in some years it has been the nominated castaway) will nominate someone else to go up against in a public vote.
