Treasure Island/Celebrity Treasure Island

Treasure Island was an early local example of a reality show staple — contestants endured the great outdoors, and each other. Nine seasons of the show ran from 1997 to 2007, before the reboot of Celebrity Treasure Island in 2019. Variations included a Couples at War season, another featuring favourites from the past and, of course, the frequent Celebrity seasons. During the 2004 season of Celebrity Treasure Island, contestant and TV host Lana Coc-Kroft was airlifted from Fiji, after she cut her foot on coral and got a life-threatening blood-poisoning disease. On 2002's Treasure Island: Extreme, Barrie Rice — an ex SAS soldier — dealt with being eliminated by hiding in the jungle.
