After almost two decades off air, Survivor UK<\/a> is back!<\/p>\n

The rebooted series will launch on BBC One tonight (Saturday 28th October), and will feature a group of castaways<\/a> attempting to find food, water, shelter and fire for themselves as they\u2019re stuck on an island.<\/p>\n

The contestants will all battle it out for rewards and immunity through various challenges where they will be put through their paces like nothing they\u2019ve ever experienced before.<\/p>\n

With the show back on our TV screens, how on earth can 18 contestants be whittled down to just one Sole Survivor?<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about how Survivor works, and all the rules the contestants have to follow to succeed on the show.<\/p>

How does Survivor work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Eighteen contestants, from all walks of life and different parts of the UK, will be marooned to a secluded location \u2013 which, in this case, is in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n

They will then be divided into two tribes and will go head-to-head in various physical and psychological challenges to earn themselves rewards or immunity from elimination.<\/p>\n

As a tribe, the castaways must construct a shelter, build fires and look for water and food for themselves.<\/p>\n

At the Tribal Councils, players are voted out one by one until the two tribes merge into one group \u2013 where the game turns into a battle for one person to be named the Sole Survivor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll form their own tribal societies, catch their own food, build their own shelter and compete against each other in epic challenges for reward or immunity,\u201d said the BBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who win immunity are safe from being voted out of the game at the iconic Tribal Council.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whoever wins the show will take home a life-changing \u00a3100,000 cash prize.<\/p>\n

When does Survivor UK air?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Survivor UK launches on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Saturday 28th October at 8:25pm. It will be followed by a second episode on Sunday 29th October at 8pm.<\/p>\n

This will continue each week, with episodes airing every Saturday and Sunday for eight weeks.<\/p>
