What helped Love Island is that it was no longer about celebrities so somehow wasn't seen as trashy and it went on a channel intended for an audience who likely wouldn't have known about the original show. It was able to grow whereas if it had gone on ITV it would have attracted negativity and been axed soonafter.

The general public don't remember Survivor so that will play into its hands. The thing with most revivals is that the original is so iconic that there will always be comparisons and again a problem is that the audience who remember it are the same intended audience the second time around.
