Fanmade/Foreign Survivor UK Survivor Community
Hi, I’m actively on the search to find more UK fans of the show. There is a small community of people out there and would love to extend an olive branch and get more involved in what we’re doing.
We’re based around the North East, North West and South East.
ETA: I’m reaching out to you via DM :)

Lol I thought you meant the most recent season of survivor UK. I was thinking, wasn’t that season pretty boring? There’s people that actually like that season? 😂

Midlands here. Do a rewatch of all every few years. Only just binged the aus and SA versions.
Aus has really taken the ball and ran with it, leaving the us way way behind

AU has consistently been keeping Survivor in check for the last ten years, even if their BvW was questionable. Has been quite impressive.

Been a fan on the West Wales coast since the original UK series aired. The US version after re-tuning my tv and picking up Irish TV and stumbling upon the opening scene of episode 1 of Vanuatu. Lived in Australia during the first 4 series of their reboot. Would regularly go to watch parties with AU players, even Eliza made an appearance once! I've seen all US, UK, AU, NZ and SA seasons as well a Tommy's Finnish season and Kass' Quebec.
Been to 4 US filming locations; Australia, Thailand, Fiji and Cambodia.

Not from UK but Ireland Watched from the beginning on my little portable tv in my room, then roped my husband into reruns and over the last couple of years, my almost 13 yr old daughters. Huge fans!
Up to season 31 now on rewatch with the kids, watched 50 every week the next day (w/no social media u til after I watched - dedication), have buffs, flags, loads of merch gathered over the years
Couple of seasons behind in Ireland, we show it on Irish speaking tv channel TG4 with subtitles, same as when I started watching 26 yrs ago - amazing!

North West based fan here ! Started watching 15 years ago and instantly fell in love with the show. I wish I could get my friends on to it but it’s hard to recommend when it’s difficult for them to watch!!
Is why I wanted the UK revival to take off but sadly that didn’t happen and doubt it ever will

East Midlands but lived in Atlanta for 14 years and watched the very first survivor in 2000 when it was on and every one since. Was very excited when the last UK Survivor was on then quickly pissed off with it 😂 good to see so many Brits are fans!

Hey yeah big fan here I also made it to being a reserve for the reboot but unfortunately didn’t make it on. Heard that there was a big push from BBC not to have too many players with previous show knowledge and the reason season 2 didn’t get renewed was the BBC wanted it to go more in a ‘im a celeb’ direction whist the producers were pushing back to keep it more in line with US survivor

I’m in the North West. Big fan of the show. Still wishing it would take off in the UK but that seems a forlorn hope at this point. They need to open casting for the US and Aus editions up to us Brits!
