Survivor: Kazakhstan – Fused Together is the thirty-first season of the second generation Suitman's Survivor Series, which began on February 21, 2016, and ended with a live reunion on March 8, 2016.
It ended with Jera H. defeating Chris R. at the Final Tribal Council in a unanimous 5-0 vote. At the Reunion Azri won Fan Favorite.
Production[]
This season features sixteen castaways competing in eight pairs of two. For the first time ever, there were no tribes at the start of the season due to the Fused Together twist. The tribes, named after places in Kazakhstan, were eventually introduced on Day 5. They are Balkhash, wearing teal (cheetah insignia), and Oskemen, in gold (snake insignia). On Day 8, the tribes merged into Pavlodar, wearing orange.
10 people were recruited, 10 people applied, and 4 were cut from the casting, leaving 16 people to become the castaways competing in the game. The full cast of 16 were revealed on February 19, 2016.
Twists[]
- Fused Together: A game-changing new twist featuring castaways competing in pairs instead of in tribes. Immunity from Tribal Council is granted only to the top three/four pairs in each challenge. The losing four pairs must attend Tribal Council and vote off a single castaway. The person who is robbed of their pair will then be immune for the next round until another pair falls, and the two surviving members become a new pair by default. This format stood for the first four days of the game until, on Day 5, the pairs were split apart into two tribes for the return of the standard format.
- Tribe Diffusion: On Day 5, the twelve remaining castaways were split between the Balkhash and Oskemen tribes after the conclusion of the Fused Together twist. This is the first time tribes have not been formed from the season premiere.
- Hidden Immunity Idols: There was one hidden idol placed in each tribe camp, which could be found by correctly guessing the answer to the clues sent daily to the immune tribe. There was also an extra hidden idol in the post-merge camp.
