| The rules
of SURVIVOR are designed not only to uphold the premise
of the show, but also to promote the safety of all Survivors
and crew members. The prize for following all these
rules and making it to the very end is one million dollars,
but consolation cash prizes will be awarded to the other
Survivors, based on their order of elimination. The
consolation prizes will range from approximately $2,500
for the first person voted out of Africa, to approximately
$100,000 for the runner-up.
Several
actions will result in immediate elimination from
the contest and expulsion from Africa, as well as
forfeiture of any prize. If you were one of the Survivors,
you wouldn't want to do any of these things:
- Try
to conspire to share the prize. The million dollars
may be won by one and only one individual. Survivors
are prohibited from sharing or making any agreement
to share all or any portion of the prize.
- Enter
the production area. The area designated for the
production crew is strictly off-limits to the Survivors.
- Break
the law. Even though they are stranded in a remote
area of Africa, the Survivors will still be held
to U.S. law, as well as local law. Any breach of
those laws is against the contest rules.
- Miss
a Tribal Council or a challenge. Tribal Council
meetings are mandatory for all Survivors, and everyone
is required to vote. In addition, sitting out of
a challenge that requires the participation of all
Survivors is not allowed.
- Damage
the African environment. Only designated fruits,
vegetables, and animals are allowed to be harvested
as food. In addition, the Survivors may not leave
litter or any other debris on the site, and they
will be obliged to give full consideration to the
ecological impact of everything they do in Africa.
- Act
up. Any misconduct is against the rules, including
but not limited to stealing or misappropriating
food, harming other Survivors or crew members, and
acts of violence.
