Survivor South Africa (2006– ) User Reviews

As good as it gets

This version of the show (especially from season 5 onward) is an absolute winner! The castaways, challenges, rewards, and all-round production value are right up there with the best of 'em. Definitely worth a watch!

Very poor editing & production

[GoodErsatz · 2/10 · 1 August 2021]

I've seen every version of Survivor made and unfortunately South Africa is the absolute worst. 90% of the time all we see are the cast members bullying each other, "forming alliances" or just bad-mouthing each other. We never get to really know any of the cast members.

Plus, production comes up with really dumb ideas like "Immunity Island", or even worse, breaking up teams for absolutely NO reason. Embarrassing & glaringly amateur moves and it's too bad; I really wanted to like this show.

Lastly, the editing on Survivor SA is very poor. On Australian Survivor or Survivor US the clips are tight and on point. Survivor South Africa's production & editing team need to watch Survivor AU / Survivor US to learn how to put together a well-thought out & streamlined reality TV show.

Season 7 review

[candicealifechoices · 1/10 · 4 September 2022]

I am disgusted at how the castaways insult and disrespect the out last at the last tribal counsel. They take the game so personal and become emotional involved that they humiliate the outlast.

I am really not in gavor of this season. I think by far this season was the best strategy and the strongest alliance built. However the production and editing has messed up tremendously.

I suggest we South Africa take tips from survivor USA

Also the host to improve on holding the space at tribal counsel. Sometimes exposing certain players which is sabotaging players.

The game should be treated more professionally.
