Survivor NZ: Nicaragua is the first season of Survivor NZ, a television series based on the popular reality game show Survivor. The series was announced in February 2016, and premiered on TVNZ 2 on 7 May 2017.[1] The season was filmed in Nicaragua,[2] the same location as four seasons of the American edition of Survivor: Nicaragua, Redemption Island, San Juan del Sur and Worlds Apart.
The sixteen contestants were initially separated into two tribes, named Hermosa and Mogotón. When ten players remained, they merged into one tribe, named Casar. Avi Duckor-Jones won the season and was named the Sole Survivor. Matai'a Salatielu "Sala" Tiatia was voted the Gem People's Choice Award.[3]
