Top 10 ‘Survivor’ Behind-The-Scenes Facts

7 The Idea Was From The ’90s

While we all know Survivor from its American counterpart that aired in 2000, it was only a decade ago that the original concept for Survivor was presented. Charlie Parsons, the U.K.’s original creator of the idea, came up with it in 1994.

In 1997, the first TV show to be based on this idea was launched. Expedition Robinson was the name of the show. It followed the same format as previous shows: contestants were placed in survival situations and then everyone voted for a winner week after week. It is still being broadcast.
