Survivor Greece (season 8)

The eighth season of Survivor Greece, the Greek version of the popular reality show Survivor, will begin airing on December 27, 2020 on Skai TV and also in Cyprus on Sigma TV. Giorgos Lianos will host the show. Ten players and ten celebrities, who have been known in Greece through their work, are invited to survive on a deserted island, the exotic Dominican Republic, having their luggage, the necessary clothes and basic food supply.

For the first time in the show, the nominations for the elimination can be from both tribes in each week. The TV viewers votes for their favorite player and not favorite player. The Most Popular player by the public vote will have immunity and must give a name to be nominated for eviction. Then all contestants have to nominate and then two are nominated for eviction, the player with the less votes from the previous TV viewers votes is eliminated. Since week 5, the voting system changed. So, a player is immuted if he won a challenge for the immunity and won't be voted by his tribe. Also, the player will be eliminated if he has the fewest votes to be saved from the public vote between the nominated players and not from the Most Popular Player voting. This is also the same voting system, as in the last three previous seasons.

Notes

1.  Anthi and Asimima, as the new players, had immunity for the second week.
2. Elizabeth, as the new player, had immunity for the third week.
3. Elimination cancelled, because Katia had a very serious illness, so it is unknown if she continues and the tribe of Diasimoi is very weak at matches. The votes for the Most Popular Player of Diasimoi will be added in the next voting, when Diasimoi lose the Immunity.
4. Marianthi and Valeria, as the new players, had immunity for the 5th week.
5. Carolina, Dimitris and Ilias, as the new players, had immunity for the 6th week.
6. Christina, George T., Nikoleta, Pavlos and Sakis, as the new players, had immunity for the 9th week.
7. Eleni, as a new player, had immunity for the 10th week.

9. In Episode 13, Katia Tarabanko evacuated from the game, due to her serious health issues.
10. In Episode 30, Elena Mariposa Kremlidou walked from the game, due to health issues.
