TORONTO, Dec. 18, 2012 /CNW/ - After 25 seasons, Global's Survivor continues to dominate the television landscape. Last night, 2.4 million viewers tuned in to the two-hour grand finale that saw a twist in the final immunity challenge and had alliances forming and disintegrating faster than Dawson could plant a kiss on Jeff Probst.
