The new season of the reality show "Survivor" will premiere on Saturday night, October 24, on Reshet 13. The network recently released a teaser for the upcoming season, revealing some of the notable contestants who will travel to the Philippines to compete. Among the familiar faces are singer Stefan Lager, "Big Brother" alum Shai Hai, rapper Shachar Saul, "Love New" contestant Lir Oz, and social media star Gal Tamam.
Other contestants include Lara Grinses, Tal Tzidon, Lior Dayan, and Avi Shoshan, a panelist on Channel 14, and Shimon Waknin, a former contestant on "Master Chef." Unknown participants will also compete, aiming to surprise viewers and reach the grand finale. The contestants will vie for the title of "Last Survivor" and a grand prize of one million shekels. Filming took place in the Philippines during April and May, with Guy Zohar returning as host.
Several other celebrities were in talks to join the season, including Maor Brokman and Stav Katzin from "Big Brother," Tonia Rubel, winner of "The X Factor" season five, Shirley Levy, Aki Avni, and Uri Koal.
This launch follows significant changes at Reshet 13. Last week, the network launched "The Voice All-Stars" just a month after the return of "The Voice Israel" failed to achieve strong ratings, averaging around 8% viewership. The decision to air an "All-Stars" season was a quick attempt to regain viewers after the previous season faced criticism for low ratings.
The poor performance of "The Voice Israel" prompted a strong reaction from the new owner, Assaf Rappaport, and Channel CEO Idan Elrom. Internal meetings emphasized that while episodes were filmed under previous management, editing, marketing, and social media teams are expected to create significant impact and fight for every viewer percentage point, a sentiment echoed by Rappaport in an interview with Roni Kovan.
