AceShowbiz - The popular reality competition Survivor Greece was compelled to conclude its 2026 season ahead of schedule due to a severe injury sustained by contestant Stavros Floros. The incident occurred earlier this month while Floros was spearfishing off duty near Saona Island in the Dominican Republic.

According to a statement released by the production company AcunMedya, Floros suffered the loss of part of his left leg and significant trauma to his right foot after being accidentally struck by a boat. The accident prompted an ongoing investigation by local port authorities to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the event.

Floros remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition and is reported to be out of immediate danger. SKAI Television, which broadcasts Survivor Greece, expressed its commitment to supporting the contestant’s medical treatment, hospitalization, and rehabilitation process in every possible way.

Despite the early termination, the production chose to officially declare Stavros Floros the winner of this season’s competition. The final episode featured host Giorgos Lianos announcing the decision to end the show prematurely, recognizing Floros for his exceptional courage and resilience throughout the contest.

The host emphasized that the safety and well-being of all participants remain the top priority, which was the driving factor behind concluding the 2026 installment before its planned finale. Floros was awarded the €250,000 prize, honoring his status as a true survivor both on and off the game.

At this time, no official announcements have been made regarding the launch of the next season of Survivor Greece. The network and producers are expected to assess the situation and plan future productions accordingly.
