Format and rules
Survivor – A sziget followed the format of American Survivor, with some differences. In all seasons, sixteen contestants were separated into two tribes ('teams' in the Hungarian version) which consisted of four men and four women. When ten or nine players remained, the contestants merged into one team. Both tribes were represented by a particular animal. Unlike most other versions of Survivor, there wasn't always a jury, instead the public decide who was the winner between the two finalists. In the event of a tie, the contestants were forced to draw lots to determine who would be eliminated.
