Survivor: VIP (, Hisardut VIP) is the sixth season of the Israeli reality program Survivor. The show features 16 celebrity contestants, competing against each other for the 1 million NIS prize and the title of "Sole Survivor". At the live reunion on August 29, 2012, Itai Segev was named the winner over Anat Harel, and Yulia Plotkin was named the audience's favorite player by winning a public vote. Several new twists were introduced this season. This season introduced the Negotiation Cabin, where two contestants, one from each tribe, met to negotiate deals, such as allocating resources or picking castaways to switch tribes. This season also introduced Hope Island, in which voted out contestants were exiled to a secluded beach where they would compete against other voted out contestants for a chance to return to the game, similar to the Island of the Dead from the first and fourth season. Unlike the Island of the Dead, the voted out contestants had to choose a representative from their old tribe to compete in their stead, with the winning representative earning a clue to the hidden immunity idol; after the merge, the voted out contestants competed for themselves. Additionally, the contestant who placed last in the veto challenge received a penalty vote at the next Tribal Council.
