Survivor itself probably could have been reformatted into a two week live celebrity version if they'd been the will to do so but there clearly wasn't. And for all the legal issues I'm a Celebrity is quite a different format to Survivor - and certainly what it is now. More about physicality, puzzle solving and strategy than challenges about facing fears.
The producers of Survivor also tried to sue Endemol alleging Big Brother ripped off their format. It went on for years and quite rightly went in Endemol's favour.
