Tonight behind the doors of studio 2 inside Cape Town's Silverline Studios, viewers will see a final set of secrets, shocking revelations – and at least one blindside – come to light during the finale and reunion of Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island on M-Net (DStv 101) at 19:30.
Despite – or perhaps because of the Covid-19 pandemic – the 8th season of the South African version of the famous "outplay, outwit, outlast" reality competition show, produced by Afrokaans, concocted an extremely compelling collection of castaways rarely before seen on television; shrewd South Africans who are conniving, backstabbing, diplomatically devious and above all very outspoken.
The season that jettisoned plans for a foreign locale and instead filmed as a Covid-19 safe bubble production on the Eastern Cape's jungle-like Wild Coast, culminates tonight with an adapted 2-hour finale that is a pre-recorded blend of on-location shoots and studio work, without the usual large, live audience.
When Nico Panagio reads out the vote tally – moved back to the end of tonight's finale like in some previous seasons – viewers will find out whether rugby coach Anela Majozi, 25, from Johannesburg, Francois "Chappies" Chapman, 32, from Centurion, or Nicole Wilmans, 26, a digital marketing manager from Somerset West gets anointed as this season's Sole Survivor and R1 million winner.
"The castaways came to Cape Town on Friday, they all got a Covid test, and they were sequestered to their rooms in the Rockwell where they stayed, and once we got the negative results back, we formed a bubble to film the finale on Sunday," Leroux Botha, the creative director and series director of Survivor SA, tells Channel24.
