Survivor viewers 'switch off' BBC reboot after just two episodes – fuming 'this is terrible!' | The Sun

SURVIVOR viewers have 'switched off' the BBC reboot after just two episodes – fuming 'this is terrible!'

The reality show returned on Saturday night after 21 years, with Joel Dommett hosting the reboot.

Survivor sees 18 castaways head to the Dominican Republic for the "ultimate physical and psychological game".

The castaways were marooned in a tropical location before being divided into two tribes and forced to compete against one another for rewards or immunity from being voted off.

Even though two castaways were sent home across the first two episodes, it wasn't enough to keep some viewers watching.

Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one wrote: "This is terrible. So terrible I’m going to switch over to watch Julia Bradbury’s Irish Journey on C4 #Survivor."

Another added: "Good grief. Is this really what the #BBC think the great British public want to watch on a Saturday night? #Survivor."

A third tweeted: "Awful! Nothing like the USA version! No flint but an actual lighter! Too much food! Lazy filming location… Joel isn’t a good fit either."

Others were more generous and felt the show got off to a decent start after so many years off screen.

One wrote: "Late to Survivor but it looks like it has potential. There's some great pass/agg chat going on here."

Another tweeted: "Well I really enjoyed that – a pretty good start! Thought the opening challenge was fun and well edited, and a good choice of first immunity challenge too."

Meanwhile a third commented: "Watching episode two on iplayer rn and it’s already better than the premiere. I implore everyone to give episode two a shot either now or tomorrow when it’s on tv. This show is GOOD."

Survivor continues on Saturday, November 4 at 8.30pm on BBC One.
