Japan

Essential Survivor: Japan - Old vs. Young is the fourth season of Essential Survivor.
Japan is known for being one of the more boring seasons while somehow bearing the most controversial Final Tribal Council to-date. Despite having a solid cast on paper, they happened to not mesh as well together as the previous 3 seasons had. Having an all-male cast didn't help the fan perception either. But Japan wasn't horrible. We did get a handful of good players from this season, crazy vote-outs, and a winner that proved that anyone can win no matter the playstyle. 
==Casting==
