Survivor: Puerto Rico is the thirty-third season of the second generation Suitman's Survivor Series which began on April 25, 2016, and ended with a live reunion on May 29, 2016.
It ended with Nolan K. defeating Owen A. at the Final Tribal Council in a 5-1 vote. At the Reunion Ashley L. won Fan Favorite.
Production[]
This season features eighteen castaways, twelve returning and six new, who have all only played once, divided into three tribes of six. They are divided based upon three prime categories. The new players have their own tribe and are dubbed "Fans", while the returning players are split depending on their reputation as either a strategically inept comedic player who were unable to win, aka the "Fools", or as a player known for being a follower to more leading or controlling players, aka the "Floaters". An additional three cast members were revealed to be playing initially, but were later revealed to be "imposter" castaways.
The tribes this season are named after places in Puerto Rico. They are Anasco, wearing lavender (hand fan insignia), Bayamon, in seafoam green (jesters hat insignia), and Corozal, with magenta (cloud insignia). On Day 6, the tribes merged into Toa Alta, wearing yellow.
The entire cast of returning players were hand-picked by production this season. The castaways were chosen for fitting one of the three divisional categories of the season - Fans, Fools and Floaters. The full cast of 21, including three imposters, plus tribal designations were revealed on April 19, 2016.
Twists[]
- Fans vs. Fools vs. Floaters: The tribes were divided based upon three key categories. The "Fans", players who are new to the series, the "Fools", players known for being reckless or downright stupid, and the "Floaters", known for following the leader and not shifting from safe alliances.
- Top of the Heap: Before the season even began, each tribe had to submit a vote for one of their members to receive a special power in the game - the Vote Stealer. The three castaways with the most votes were then able to decide if they wished to keep the special power, or trade it in for a publicly-known hidden immunity idol. No power-holders took this option.
- The Imposters: It was revealed pre-game that one member of each of the seven-person tribes were imposters. These three imposters got involved with the pre-gaming and alliances, while secretly not being a part of the actual cast. The castaways voted for who they thought was the imposter, along with their Top of the Heap vote. The three imposters were revealed to be Joe E., Ethan H. and Nick M., under the guise of "Mikayla L."
- Vote Stealer: Returning power from Rejects vs. Royals. At any one vote up until and including the Final Six, the power can be used to take away one's vote and claim it for oneself. This leaves the victim's vote voided, and gives the power player an extra vote. The power was given to each player voted up in Top of the Heap, and to a fourth player in the Count Your Coins challenge.
- Three-Tribe Format: This season the castaways were once again divided into three tribes, returning in back-to-back seasons following Unfinished Business. It is the tenth season to feature the format, and the third to use it for a returnee/newbie mix season, after Reclamation and Kiribati.
- Returning Players: Twelve former castaways returned this season, based more on their reputation as either a poor player or as a comedic character than on being an all-star castaway.
- Hidden Immunity Idols: There was one hidden idol placed in each tribe camp, which can be found by correctly guessing the answer to the clues sent daily to the two immune tribes. There was also an extra hidden idol in the post-merge camp.
- Extra Vote: Extra votes formed a part of the Vote Stealer power this season.
