Season chronology

From its premiere, the show struggled to gain an audience comparable to the previous seasons. After the second week, the ratings dropped significantly and the show was relegated to an early morning timeslot.[1] Volker Kreuzner, the oldest participant of the season, won by becoming sole survivor. Kreuzner wrote and published the book Crusoe 2.0 - Survivor Malaysia. Abgerechnet wird am Ende about his survivor adventures.[2]

Format

A group of eighteen contestants were marooned on a desert island for 50 days and split into two tribes: Gunung and Tasik. For the first half of the game, the two tribes competed against each other in reward and immunity challenges. The tribe that won the reward challenge received a special treat that made their life on the island more comfortable. The tribe that won the immunity challenge was completely safe from any eliminations for three days.

Meanwhile, the tribe that lost the immunity challenge was forced to vote one of their own members off the island, eliminating them from the competition. Contestants were free to discuss how they wished to vote, and many alliances were made and broken as the series progressed.

After the first half of the game, the remaining members of the two tribes merged into a single tribe. They then competed in reward and immunity challenges on an individual basis. After the tribal merger, every contestant who was eliminated would join a jury that decided which of the two finalists won the €250,000 prize.

Notes
  1. Jasmin from Gunung and Sonja from Tasik played for their teams in this challenge. The reward was a BBQ for the whole tribe. After Jasmin won the challenge for Gunung, she was made an offer to exchange the tribal reward for individual immunity until the merge. She chose immunity.
  2. After Eike was voted out, Markus R arrived at Tribal Council and gave Eike his lit torch, therefore Eike immediately re-joined the game.
  3. After Jasmin finished last in the immunity challenge, she had to choose another tribemate to face-off in a elimination challenge. The loser would be eliminated from the game and the winner received an extra vote at the next Tribal Council.
