A New Zealand adaptation of long-running hit reality show Survivor has been confirmed by TV2 - and it was instantly mocked on Twitter.

Applications have opened for those wanting to be contestants on the show, a statement from TV2 said.

The hit reality show makes teams live in tribes on remote islands and compete in challenges with limited food and supplies, with contestants forming alliances and eliminating each other one by one.

The last remaining survivor wins US$1 million, although TV2 hasn't yet confirmed prize money, the location or host. Applicants need a current passport to apply.

"Do you have what it takes to compete in the ultimate test of endurance, strength and strategy all in a far flung tropical location?" the statement asked.

"How much do you want to be the sole Survivor and walk away with a huge cash prize?

"This series will see Kiwi contestants battle it out, competing in reward and immunity challenges, with weekly eliminations by tribal vote. But only one will survive."

Applicants need to be over 18, a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident, no criminal record, have a current passport and be in "good physical and mental health".

Now we'll have 3 English-speaking Survivor seasons (US, Aus and NZ) which could be 4 if Survivor South Africa does another season after the success of the last one!
