==Story==
===Day 1===
Across the islands of Caramoan in the eastern Philippines, a boat is carrying ten Americans. These contestants have one thing in common, they are all Survivor fans. Just above them are two helicopters, containing their competition: ten former Survivors from past seasons.
After disembarking, the "Fans" are welcomed by Jeff Probst. Jeff reveals that they are going up against previous contestants. The helicopters then land on the beach, revealing the ten returning "Favorites." Jeff then tosses their buffs: The Fans are the Gota tribe, wearing orange, while the Favorites are the Bikal tribe, wearing purple. After suiting up, the tribes square off in the first Reward Challenge, for flint and a plentiful supply of beans.
In the first round, Erik grabs the ring first, but as he rushes to Bikal's pole, the massive Shamar runs toward him, prompting Erik to throw the ring to Dawn. Julia intercepts, but Dawn tackles her, letting the ring go. Shamar takes the ring, while Erik fruitlessly tries to stop him. Shamar reaches the pole, winning the first point for the Fans.
In the second round, Eddie gets the ring first and throws it to Hope. Andrea and Hope have a tussle for the ring. Eddie and Brandon then join the fight. Brandon drags the ring and the three others altogether toward Bikal's pole, allowing Andrea to reach it, winning the round for the Favorites.
In the third round, Michael has the ring first but is thwarted by Phillip. Sherri grapples Brenda before she gets the chance to assist Phillip. Along the sidelines, Shamar shouts at Sherri to "break her wrist," much to everyone's surprise. The four continue the fight for the ring, until Phillip stands up and drags Michael's foot toward Bikal's pole, winning Bikal their second point.
At the fourth round, Matt gets to the ring first but he then gets tackled by Francesca. Cochran and Laura come to help their teammates. While Cochran tries to take down Laura, Francesca starts to pull Matt over Bikal's pole. She finally touches the pole to win the third point for Bikal.
In the fifth round, Reynold gets to the ring first and tries to toss it at Allie, but he gets taken out by Malcolm. Allie and Corinne come to help the guys but Malcolm and Reynold are fighting almost alone, during which Malcolm almost loses his shorts, leaving the two girls behind. Corinne almost touches Bikal's pole, but Reynold fights back. Malcolm rebounds and touches the pole, winning the challenge for the Favorites.
After the challenge, the tribes part ways and head to their respective camps. At Gota, Shamar expresses his disappointment for their loss at the Reward Challenge.
After the tribe finds a basket of rice and a bolo knife, Shamar insists that fire is the number one priority, while Matt says shelter is equally important. Most of the tribe members follow Matt, upsetting Shamar. The frustration continues when Matt sees Shamar inactive while he is doing all the work on the shelter. Matt tells Shamar to help them, but Shamar shuns him.
True to their identity as a tribe of returning contestants, strategy begins at the Bikal tribe the moment they arrive at their beach.
The Favorites immediately start working on shelter and water. Phillip asserts his desire to have their shelter facing the beach, something that is no surprise to his rival, Francesca.
Andrea, Dawn, and Francesca discuss strategy in the jungle, thinking which are the best people to join their alliance. Francesca then starts working on Brandon, Erik, and Brenda to join their fold. Later, Francesca finds Phillip and tells him that she has no ill feelings for him despite their rivalry in their first season, and she is not targeting him whatsoever, even wanting to align with him. Phillip, on the other hand, secretly questions Francesca's true motives, that, if she is really gotten over her early elimination, why does she keep bringing the past up.
Noontime at Gota, Reynold and Eddie try to start the fire, while Shamar, a marine by profession, observes them. Shamar steps up, telling them that the hole they made on their bamboo was too big. He then picked a new half bamboo and cut a smaller hole on it. Shamar, Michael, Hope, and Julia then use the new bamboo to spark a fire. With the fire established, the rest of the tribe gather twigs and kindling to keep it going. Matt, who is still busy doing the shelter, congratulates Shamar and makes peace with him.
Back at Bikal, After the tribe chows down their first lunch, Phillip starts recruiting members for his alliance. Borrowing notes from his former ally and Survivor: Redemption Island winner Rob Mariano, Phillip establishes his alliance with what he called the "B.R. (Boston Rob) Rules." He is successful with Corinne, Andrea, Dawn, Cochran, and Malcolm. Though he already has the numbers he needed, Phillip tries to enlist Erik. Phillip brags to Erik that he is already part of an alliance, and if he rejects, they still have the numbers anyway. Phillip then makes a disclaimer, telling Erik he is only a "messenger," and someone else is running their alliance. Erik is displeased by Phillip's assertive actions.
Afternoon at Gota, Eddie and Reynold make an alliance, with Reynold comparing themselves as "hunted species" for being physical threats. Reynold recruits Allie, while Eddie convinces Hope while stargazing in the evening. Later, while most of the Fans are already asleep, Laura catches Reynold and Allie cuddling to warm themselves up at night.
===Day 3===
At Bikal, Cochran expresses a terrible concern: his enormous sunburns. Baked under the hot Philippine sun for three days took a toll on his skin, with his face bright pink and both of his feet swollen.
Morning at Gota, Reynold, Eddie, Allie, and Hope are bathing at sea, mutually agreeing that they would hang out with each other outside of the game.
Meanwhile, Laura, Julia, and Sherri discuss Reynold and Allie's cuddling incident on their first night, wanting to split them apart early on. Michael, who also in the conversation, halfheartedly accepts their invitation for an alliance, but finds himself bonding best with another tribe offbeat, Matt. The two compare notes about which side to pick, but they agree to have some rapport regardless if they are voting together or not. Matt insists to keep the strategy at the back burner until they lose an Immunity Challenge.
The tribes meet Jeff Probst for their first Immunity Challenge. After telling the instructions for the challenge, Jeff tells the Fans that if they win the challenge, they will get flint.
Throughout the crate-throwing portion of the challenge, Bikal is slightly leading, until Reynold manages to catch up at the bag-tossing leg. After a quick and successful series of tosses, Reynold unfurls the Gota tribe flag, winning immunity and flint for the Fans.
As Tribal Council looms for the Favorites, Francesca and Cochran discuss voting options, where Francesca brings up Phillip's name. Corrine comes up to them, offering her a wet buff to ease Cochran's sunburn pains. Francesca also relays the plan to Andrea, but the latter feels she would be in a better position with Phillip. She then approaches Phillip, leaking to him his rival's plan to oust him, prompting the former federal agent to do the unprecedented: vote Francesca out first, again.
At the beach, Erik and Brandon discuss the vote, where Erik plans to go against Phillip for his doing scare tactics at him. Francesca then approaches Brandon, with Brandon explaining what he and Erik talked about, and saying that both of them are on board with her. Seeing several conversations going on at camp worries Francesca.
Stuck in the middle between the Francesca and Phillip voting blocs, Dawn and Cochran weigh their voting options. Dawn explains that she could not trust Francesca because she is more threatening in the long run than Phillip.
Cochran, who betrayed his former tribe in , which Dawn was also a member of, is surprised that she easily trusts him, even calling him "family."
While hanging clothes, Francesca gathers an audience, Brenda, Erik, Brandon, and Dawn, proposing to split the vote, believing that Phillip has the Hidden Immunity Idol. Francesca also tells Andrea, who happens to be walking by, her plan. Brenda, Erik, Dawn, and Brandon discuss Andrea, who seems untrustworthy because of her several connections within the tribe. Skeptical of Andrea's loyalties, Erik tells Francesca that he and Brandon have been suspicious of Andrea and proposes to stick with the five (Brandon, Brenda, Dawn, Erik, Francesca) to vote for Andrea and end the conversation there, hoping that Phillip's alliance's votes will be scattered so they can get the majority. Francesca heads to Tribal Council along with the rest of the Bikal tribe, without a solid plan.
Jeff welcomes the Favorites at Tribal Council and asks them to pick a torch and light it, custom for a tribe visiting Tribal Council the first time. Jeff asks Brandon if a leader emerged in the tribe. Brandon responds, "We're all kind of chiefs; there's no Indians here. Nobody's gonna get done like they were done last time." Jeff comically replies, "Oh somebody is," sending the tribe to laughter. Jeff then brings up Francesca and Phillip's rivalry back in Redemption Island and how Phillip kept mispronouncing her name (hence the infamous "Fransesqua"). Phillip chimes in, saying that he knew how to pronounce Francesca's name, and he did such because he was trying to avoid cursing at her that time. The former federal agent then brings up Francesca's inexperience, and it should worry her. Francesca responds, saying that there should be more people who need to worry.
In the end, Dawn and Cochran join Phillip's alliance, and with six votes to four, Francesca makes Survivor history by being the first contestant to be voted out first in a season twice.

==Trivia==
===Secret Scene===
* Night 1 at Bikal, it is revealed that Cochran's sunburns actually started immediately after the Reward Challenge, before they had access to sunscreen. Dawn takes notice of the sunburn, while Brandon jokes that he needs a hug, giving one to Cochran. Meanwhile, Francesca and Brenda talk strategy.
* On Day 2, the tribes receive their pre-Immunity Challenge Tree Mail, which is tied on their tribe flag. At Bikal, Cochran holds the scroll to the message, but cannot untie the knot, embarrassing himself in front of his tribe. Phillip unties it for him so he can read it. In a confessional, Cochran expresses his opinion of Phillip being authoritative, calling him an "overgrown 11-year-old." Later, Phillip thinks that the challenge requires holding one's breath underwater. Phillip then tries to hold his breath in front of Francesca, Andrea, and Dawn, only to fail his first time. When he took longer in the second attempt, the three women sneak out of the beach. At Gota, Allie expresses that most of the "Favorites" were not her personal favorites. Back at Bikal, Corinne plans to vote Francesca out because she already formed an alliance with Phillip, despite liking her.
* In her "The Day After" video, Francesca expresses her disappointment for being voted out first twice but is grateful to be invited to compete despite her inexperience. She claims that her highlight was winning a challenge, as she was not able to win one last season. She then accuses some of her tribemates of being friendly towards her, only to fool her the way they did, saying that to be treated as such, they have to be skilled at it and apply them in their personal lives. Francesca declares her Survivor experience over and would not want to play again.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2i7pKEgHBU
