Russian Host[edit]

Who hosted the Russian version in season 6? It's not in the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.170.101.54 (talk) 21:25, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Different logo for original British/Swedish version[edit]

This has probably already been hashed out before, but is there any major difference between the U.S.-market Survivor logo and the earlier non-U.S.-market versions? I'm American, and remember reading back in 2001 when it "started" the reality-TV "craze" in the U.S. (it seemed to me that it started then at least). I didn't know that the Swedish version was the first to actually make it to TV though. It seems like a non-U.S. logo might be more appropriate for this article, since there is already another article on the U.S. version specifically. Jimw338 (talk) 02:03, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Arabic version?[edit]

What happened to the "Arab World" Survivor? It disappeared from the international versions list? I seem to recall that one being real since I saw a video of the opening credits... Shadow2 (talk) 10:02, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some Rules Don't Make Sense[edit]

For instance "Conspiring to split winnings will result in immediate expulsion from the game." This is clearly allowed in the Blood vs. Water seasons, where Husband and Wife couples are legally obligated by most marriage laws to have community property on any and all winnings associated with the game, and explicitly saying they are playing for the same money to share. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theo chemist 1116 (talk • contribs) 03:59, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Franchise not American[edit]

I don't think this article adequately reflects the Survivor franchise, because it almost exclusively discusses the US version, with other versions relegated to a "variations" section. Including the original Swedish version.

This wouldn't be so bad if this was indicated in each section, but in everything said it is almost assumed that the reader understands it's only talking about the US version.

Since there is already a Survivor (American_TV_series) article, couldn't most of this detail be removed or moved there? --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 16:32, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
