It’s real. It’s raw. It’s what people want to watch.
The more players lie to each other and back-stab one another, the more the program becomes popular. The more it becomes the latest gossip in town. The more people watch it. And the more advertisers pay for commercial spots.

Survivor: Philippines fosters selfishness. And we want to show the world how selfish and divided Filipinos can be.
