Fans vs. Favorites

Essential Survivor: Fans Vs. Favorites is the tenth season of Essential Survivor.
After Season 8, returnee seasons weren't the most popular, but this season definitely gave what S8 didn't get. We had a fiery premerge due to one of the most dynamic tribes ever in Punahele. YEG was the talk of the town as the game continued, and despite a lackluster endgame, we got what appears to be the most dominant winner in Essential Survivor history. 
==Casting==
Casting for Essential Survivor: Fans Vs. Favorites began on May 4th, 2021 and ended on May 14th, 2021. A total of 46 applicants applied for this season, when only 10 got selected to compete in Hawaii.
Alongside them, 17 previous castaways were put on a ballot to be voted into the game by the public, 10 of them made the cut
==Twists==
* Fans Vs. Favorites: Ten new contestants, who are fans of the ORG, will face ten of the ORG's most popular contestants.
* Joint Tribal Council: On Day 11, both tribes went to the beach area due to them joining together as one to vote someone out. Despite that, one person from each tribe won immunity beforehand.
* Forced Firemaking: At the Final Four, instead of a normal Tribal Council, the immunity winner would choose to drag someone to the Final 3, while the other two players battled for the final spot in a firemaking showdown.
