Channel Ten’s reality competition series “I Will Survive” began with an open audition, the most talented performers then joined the famous Priscilla bus as she retraced the steps of the box-office smash movie, from Sydney to Alice Springs, performing at each outback location on the way.

Judges, mentors and industry professionals challenged, trained and critiqued each of the performers.

The field was whittled down to a final four in Alice Springs who were then flown to Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York for three weeks of intensive training.

The winner was crowned on Broadway by Paula Abdul and received a tax-free cash prize of $100,000.00.
