SURVIVOR: THAILAND, hosted by Jeff Probst, will strand 16 Americans on Koh Tarutao, a remote island off the southern coast of Thailand, during the region’s dangerous monsoon season. Executive producer Mark Burnett is promising that SURVIVOR: THAILAND will include brand new challenges, new rules and new twists like nothing ever seen in previous installments. As the castaways are faced with harsh weather and the uncertainty of what’s coming next, each person must attempt to outwit, outplay and outlast the others in order to become the ultimate survivor.
