Sometimes they do. Love Island is one. Wouldn't surprise me if Survivor does well too when it comes back.
In regard Love Island, both versions only really share a name. The current version has a format with various twists and Casa Amor and the contestants have to couple up.
The original version was an utter shambles with Patrick Kielty and Kelly Brook presenting like Ant & Dec do I'm a celebrity.
They basically just got 10 celebrities put them on an Island and hoped they would sh'g. They producers made it up as they went along. Iirc they didn't even need to couple up.
The Castaway revival was a big flop for the BBC too.
