幸存者第二十一季的剧情简介
这个节目将一群陌生人放逐到尼加拉瓜的一个荒无人烟的小岛上（组合成一个或者是多个部落），在那里他们不得不自力更生，寻找食物、水以及取火和修建住处。同时还需要和对手通过比赛从而获得奖励或者在下一轮的投票淘汰环节中获得豁免权。除了被投票淘汰的，还有一些选手是因为一些意外医疗状况比如受伤了或者感染了而被淘汰的。最后的两到三名选手将会面对一个由9名曾参与比赛且被淘汰的选手组成的评委团投票决定冠亚季军，这个评委团（会聆听最后几次的部落会议），并在最后有一次质问角逐者的机会，然后投票决定谁是终极幸存者并能获得100万美元的大奖。 15 Sep. 2010Young at HeartThe castaways are shocked to learn that they'll be divided into tribes of older players versus younger players.

幸存者的节目形式
节目的戏剧冲突性主要通过两种方式得以实现的，一是人与自然环境的冲突；一是人与人的冲突。这两种冲突不是凭空产生的，而是人为设置的，是建立在游戏规则的强迫性和巨额金钱诱惑性的前提基础之上的。为强化人与自然环境的冲突，节目将播出的地点选在荒无人烟的小岛上，在这里没有丰美的水果，更不允许幸存者们自带食物，他们只能像当年鲁宾逊那样自己砍柴、生火、搭房、造筏，过着吃昆虫老鼠、被虫咬、受蛇蝎惊吓的生活。为了生存，参加者不得不用尽各种招数，人与自然的对立达到了高潮。由生存危机带来的冲突为节目的刺激奠定了基础。但更刺激的还是体现在人与人之间的对立上。节目运用淘汰程序，允许参赛者将对方部落的人员投出比赛直到最后一名参赛者，他将会赢得”Sole Survivor”称号。
