ITV is said to be close to making a decision on whether to commission a second series of Survivor.
Following the receipt of 10,000 applications to take part in the sequel, the network is mulling over the possibilty of greater ratings success next time round.
The first, which began in May, drew an average audience of just over 5m, peaking at 9m for the final show. Execs had hoped for an average of 12m, however.
"I think we expected too much from the American experience," said Julia Lamaison, ITV's Head of Strategy. "We expected that to translate to Britain more than it did.
"There were other things wrong with Survivor, but we would admit that we got the scheduling wrong. We didn't support it enough in the launch phase."
Meanwhile, Claudia Rosencrantz, the network's entertainment controller, has said she is "keen" to commission a second series.
