Season 37 of “Survivor US: David vs Goliath” premiers today in the USA in a special 90-minute episode.

This is the 7th time that the Emmy Award winning reality TV show has filmed in Fiji, making Fiji the most used location in the history of the series and the Mamanuca Islands the first location to be used for six consecutive seasons.

It is expected that nearly 9 million viewers will watch the first episode.

Executive Producer and multi-Emmy Awards winning host Jeff Probst had earlier told Entertainment Weekly that he hopes the Survivor Series stays in Fiji forever.

Film Fiji CEO Dallas Foon says that they are pleased to have Survivor continue to stay in Fiji adding that having a production of this magnitude in the country for six straight seasons is a positive indication of their faith in the capabilities of Fiji’s growing film industry.

Season 37 of Survivor US: David vs Goliath sees 20 strangers divided into two groups of 10; the “Davids” and the “Goliaths”.

“Davids” are described as those who have had to overcome adversity in their lives, while “Goliaths” are those who capitalise on their individual advantages to use against their opponents.

This season includes a pro wrestler, a robotics scientist, an MMA fighter, a physician and a S.W.A.T. officer.
