The people around Survivor
Not everyone who shaped Survivor ever played it. A pop star has handed castaways more than $1.1 million of her own money. A filmmaker talked the host into an idol that broke a season. Two internet creators moved the format onto YouTube and then onto Prime Video. These are the outsiders, and the 44 castaways they are tied to.
