Fan Favorite

The **Fan Favorite** Award is an award given out to a single member of a season's cast (regardless of placement) who receives the most votes from contestants and audience alike for being the most interesting, memorable, strategical, likeable, or any combination of those factors or otherwise. The winner typically is announced after the declaration of the Sole Survivor at a season's Reunion and receives a host-determined bonus along with the Fan Favorite distinction.

## Trivia

* *Siberia* is the only season to have a tie for the Fan Favorite vote, as both Bill Cipher and Varrick received 22 votes.
* The closest votes for Fan Favorite (aside from the tie in *Siberia*) include *Hawaii* and *Gorgona*, both decided by single votes. In *Hawaii*, Cooper won Fan Favorite over Sole Survivor Kanji Tatsumi. In *Gorgona*, Gi-hun won over Atticus Finch.
* *Galápagos* featured a one-off "Fan Favorite Prejuror" award (won by Vegeta) in conjunction with the typical Fan Favorite award, with the former being specifically for contestants eliminated prior to the merge.
* Hikki, Kabe, Sonder, Yuno, Bones, and Craig are the only players to have won the Fan Favorite award twice.
	+ Additionally, Adachi has won both the one-off Fan Favorite Prejuror and the regular Fan Favorite award.
* Revy was the first female contestant to win the Fan Favorite award, breaking a fifteen-season streak of male Fan Favorites.
* The highest placing Fan Favorites are Trent, Bill Cipher, and Troz Naberius, who are the only Sole Survivors to also be awarded Fan Favorite.
	+ Because *Galápagos* featured the one-off Fan Favorite Prejuror award and *Siberia*'s Fan Favorite poll tied and gave out a dual title, Troz is the only Sole Survivor to also be the sole recipient of Fan Favorite during a season.
	+ The lowest placing Fan Favorite is Nagisa, at 18th Place. He, Guzma, and Columbo are the only prejuror Fan Favorites.
* Speedwagon is the only Fan Favorite to quit the game. Mahito is the only Fan Favorite to have been medically evacuated during their season.
