Season 26
The Winner of Season 26 was John Cochran.
Twenty castaways compete against each other on Survivor: Caramoan – Fans vs. Favorites, when the emmy award-winning series returns for its 26th season.
Ten ultimate Survivor fans will have the chance to prove they have what it takes when they take on 10 of their favorite players from the past.
Dropped on the exotic Caramoan Islands, the 20 castaways will be divided into two tribes of 10: Bikal, made up of former players deemed favourites, and Gota, comprised of ultimate fans of the game.
The Favorites may have an edge because of their experience, but they also have a big target on their backs. Meanwhile, the Fans, although inexperienced, can draw on their extensive knowledge of the game to give them an advantage.
Who will prevail when these tribes collide and the castaways vie to outwit, outplay and outlast one another for the title of Sole Survivor and the one million dollar prize?
Survivor: Philippines is hosted by Emmy Award-winning host Jeff Probst and produced by SEG, Inc. Mark Burnett, Jeff Probst and David Burris are executive producers and Leisa Francis is co-executive producer.
