Selviytyjät Suomi 6 is the sixth season of Selviytyjät Suomi and the eighth season of the Finnish version of Survivor.

Shirly Karvinen defeated Paul Elias Uotila in a 6-3 vote to become the Sole Survivor.

Production

Similar to other versions of Survivor the same year, the season was filmed in the Dominican Republic to accommodate for COVID-19 restrictions. The prize for the winner was 30,000 euros.

Twists/Changes

• Celebrities: The cast consisted of 16 Finnish celebrities, such as athletes, performers and actors, television personalities, and other public figures in Finnish media.
• Tribe Switch: At the final fourteen, the castaways were switched into two new tribes.
• Forsaken Island: Prior to the merge, contestants who were previously voted out were sent to Forsaken Island, where they competed in challenges for a chance to return to the game.
• Gold Coin: Gold coins could be obtained by players, with them being used to purchase items such as an Immunity Amulet.
• Earn the Merge: At final eleven, the castaways would compete for a spot in the merge, with the challenge allowing five winners. The six who lost would be nominated to be voted out at the next Tribal Council. However, this season, everyone was eligible to vote, and the challenge winners all had to vote for the same person.
• Immunity Amulet: The Immunity Amulet could be used by a player to negate any votes cast against them at Tribal Council. However, this season, Amulets had to be purchased with gold coins obtained by the players.
• Extra Jury Vote: The final jury member could vote twice at Final Tribal Council if they won the final Reward Challenge.

Notes: ^1 An Immunity Amulet bought by gold coins was played, nulling votes against its user. ^2 The players who earned the merge were only able to cast a common vote, counting as a singular vote. ^3 There was a tie. Per Selviytyjät Suomi rules, a revote was held. ^4 Eveliina won an extra vote to be distributed at Final Tribal Council.
