CBS’s ‘Survivor’ is getting a second wind on college campuses

In 2000 Survivor premiered to set a new standard for reality television. 18 years later, it’s still making waves on college campuses.

While mock Survivor tribal eliminations have existed since the show began, a growing accessibility to advanced filming and editing software has allowed more fans to create their own high-quality Survivor games. Hundreds of series have been uploaded to YouTube over the years. Now, as the show’s 36th season airs on CBS, it’s college students who are taking the artistic lead, filming their own DIY versions on campuses across the nation.
