Survivors 2022: behind-the-scenes shifts, free voting, and audience participation

“Survivors” has kicked off on Telecinco, gathering celebrities on Cayos Cochinos to experience survival challenges firsthand and deliver compelling television moments.

The network has staked big bets on this show, hoping to reproduce the strong audience results it has achieved with prior editions. Early indicators suggest the premiere drew the largest audience of the night, though it did not reach the peak figures seen in earlier years.

First ‘quilt’ in Survivors: fire under the blanket

To keep the momentum going, Survivors 2022 introduced several adjustments. The format now features three premiere nights hosted by different personalities: Jorge Javier Vázquez on Thursdays, Ionía Aramendi on Sundays, and Carlos Sovereign on Tuesdays, with Laura Álvarez providing behind-the-scenes support. A new option for subscribers adds another layer: a behind-the-scenes program that explores the show’s inner workings, airing on the platform Monday through Friday. Journalists will guide this special, includingAlexia Rivas and Iban Rivas, offering an insider’s view from the island.

That’s how the Survivors 2022 team keeps the engagement alive.

How to vote on Survivors

One notable upgrade for Survivors 2022 is the introduction of free voting. Viewers will no longer need to send paid SMS to influence who stays or goes on the island.

Telecinco audiences can vote freely for the participant they wish to see eliminated after the nominations, alongside other interactive game elements introduced on the show. Recent demonstrations of audience participation include choices about accompanying contestants. For instance, viewers helped determine the couple who would join the Playa Paraíso segment, selecting Tanya as the preferred companion.
