Selviytyjät Suomi 7 is the seventh season of Selviytyjät Suomi and the ninth season of the Finnish version of Survivor.

After 34 days, Sami Helenius defeated Tommi Manninen in a 4-3 jury vote to become the Sole Survivor.

Production

Similar to other versions of Survivor the same year, the season was filmed in Langkawi, Malaysia. The prize for the winner was 30,000 euros.

Twists/Changes

• Shortened Game: The game lasted for 34 days, 2 days shorter than the previous season.
• Celebrities vs. Returnees: The cast consisted of 8 Finnish celebrities, such as athletes, performers and actors, and other public figures in Finnish media, competing against 8 returning players from previous seasons of Selviytyjät Suomi.
• Immunity Amulet: The Immunity Amulet could be used by a player to negate any votes cast against them at Tribal Council.
• Tribe Switch: At the final fourteen, eleven, and ten, the castaways were switched into two new tribes.
• Dice of Fate: If a contestant felt vulnerable, they could give up their vote at Tribal Council and roll the Dice of Fate, where they would have a small chance of being safe. If successful, the play acted as if an Immunity Amulet was played.
• Delayed Merge: Unlike previous seasons, where the merge began at the final ten, it was revealed to the castaways that there would be another swap at the final ten instead of a merge.
• Earn the Merge: At final eight, the castaways would compete in two groups of four for a spot in the merge. The four who lost would be nominated to be voted out at the next Tribal Council, and only those who won would be able to vote. However, this season, those eligible would only cast black votes that would count at the next Tribal Council.
• Extra Jury Vote: The winner of the Final Reward Challenge could choose a jury member to vote twice at Final Tribal Council.

Instead, the winners of the challenge got to give black votes—i.e., extra votes for the next Tribal Council. ^5 There was a tie. Per Selviytyjät Suomi rules, a vote restart occurred. ^6 As the last-place finisher of the elimination challenge, Julia was automatically eliminated from the game. ^7 Julia was given an extra jury vote by Sami, who won the final Reward Challenge.
