Survivor South Africa: Malaysia

Survivor South Africa: Malaysia is the second season of the reality television show Survivor South Africa. The series is very similar to the American version of the show, with two teams (and later one group) of contestants vying for a large sum of money while stranded in a remote location. Each episode, one contestant is voted off of the show by his or her comrades, whittling the group down until only one survivor remains.

Season chronology

Many changes were announced for the second season by M-Net, which airs the show. This included the addition of two contestants, a shorter filming period (27 days), the change in location (Johor, Malaysia), and a pre-show vote by South African citizens to choose one of the contestants. However, the show's format remained much the same, with the prize set at 1,000,000 Rand. Mark Bayly hosted this season.

The application process ended on 2 April 2007. According to M-Net's website, two thirds of the entries in 2007 were from males. The percentage of applicants in the 40-59 age group was also higher than in 2006, and the 20 oldest applicants were 77 years old. This may quell another concern that emerged in the first season: that all of the contestants had backgrounds that were too similar. The 16th contestant, Lorette Mostert, was voted in by South Africans via M-Net's website () between 23–30 April 2007. Filming began in mid-May and ended in June. The show was initially broadcast 22 August – 14 November 2007.

Notes
  1. Nichal fell first in a marooning challenge and was exiled until the first immunity challenge where he would join the tribe who won.
  2. The Final Four had to perform in an endurance challenge; the first to fall joined the jury while the winner of the challenge would automatically be in the Final Tribal Council. Mandla was the first person to fall and was eliminated.

  3. Mandla was the first to fall in Final Immunity Challenge and was sent immediately eliminated.
  4. Amanda and Grant were not eligible to vote as the only eligible players they could vote for were each other.
gollark: Anyway, it's a hyperbolic tesselation.
gollark: I pointed that out before it was made, but was ignored.
gollark: Yes, it is a crazy rule.
gollark: What?
gollark: It does look fancy, at least.
