Acting
A reality show contest where sixteen or more castaways split between two or more “Tribes” are taken to a remote isolated location and are forced to live off the land with meager supplies for roughly 39 days. Frequent physical challenges are used to pit the tribes against each other for rewards, such as food or luxuries, or for “Immunity”, forcing the other tribe to attend “Tribal Council”, where they must vote off one of their players.
24 returning players are abandoned on the islands of Fiji for a monumental 50th season, with the chance to win $1 million. The theme of the season, "In the Hands of the Fans," quickly materializes as decisions from the fan vote swiftly and forcefully impact the game. Castaways reflect on how much they have changed since the last time they played the game. Then, an unforeseen injury during the first immunity challenge causes tribemates to rethink their attack strategy in order to support their team member.
Ten years ago, Survivor aired its twenty-eighth season, and changed the course of the CBS reality series as we know it. Survivor: Cagayan had eighteen dynamic characters stranded in the wilderness for the ultimate game of social strategy, divided into tribes that represented "brains," "brawn," and "beauty." And from its first episode–with the start of the Brains tribe's destruction–to its last–including one of the worst moves in Survivor history–it was non-stop entertainment.
