Survivor debuted on CBS in Summer 2000 and the show's 47th season, Survivor 47, is currently airing on the network.
Survivor is best known for its thrilling blindsides, complicated strategy, and memorable physical and mental challenges, but what would the game be without its showmances?!
"Power couples" develop on the show whether they be intimate or friendly connections. A power couple is almost always viewed as a huge threat in the game, however sometimes the castaways don't care because they're desperate for a little companionship.
Not only have Survivor viewers watched castaways -- who haven't showered or brushed their teeth in days or weeks -- kiss and cuddle on-screen, but they've also witnessed many showmances develop into real, sincere relationships outside of the show.

In several cases, these romances even turned into marriages. In other cases, however, the dynamic was mere lust on a deserted island.
"We were caught on-camera many times. I'm sure there was a lot of footage that would not be suitable for home viewers, if you know what I mean! It was jungle love, man," Ozzy Lusth told Entertainment Weekly when asked about his hot and steamy showmance with Amanda Kimmel on Survivor's 16th season.
Since it's hard to keep track of all the Survivor lovebirds, Reality TV World has taken a look back at the hottest and most memorable showmances.
