Season 1
Sylvan Lake Cast
“As a superfan of Survivor, I have always wanted to get on the show (lord knows how many more times I will audition), and I have realized as big as that dream is, I can still fulfill that to an extent in my own personal life. Deciding to host a Survivor competition for charity allowed me to help fulfill a different perspective to my dream, and also allowed other fans to fufill a part of theirs, all for the greatest cause of all, helping something bigger than ourself.”
“On June 26, the Nelson residence on Sylvan Lake in Rogers was the location for “Survivor: Sylvan Lake,” in which contestants weren’t competing for $1 million, but rather instead a hefty sum of money to give to a charity of their choice.”
