Selviytyjät

Selviytyjät is a Finnish reality television series that premiered in 2006. The show is produced by Endemol and is broadcast on MTV3, a major Finnish television channel. The series is known for its unique format, which combines elements of survival, competition, and social interaction. Selviytyjät is a Finnish adaptation of the Dutch reality show "Survivor," which itself is based on the American series of the same name.

The show follows a group of contestants, known as "Selviytyjät" or "Survivors," who are stranded on a remote island. The contestants are divided into two tribes, each led by a "shaman" who provides guidance and makes decisions on behalf of the tribe. The tribes compete in challenges for resources, such as food and shelter, and the losing tribe must vote out one of its members. The last person or team remaining wins the grand prize, which has varied over the seasons.

Selviytyjät has been praised for its engaging format and the diverse cast of contestants, which often includes celebrities, athletes, and ordinary people. The show has also been criticized for its portrayal of violence and its use of native tribes as a backdrop for the competition. Despite these criticisms, Selviytyjät has become a popular and enduring reality television series in Finland.
