Survivor

**Survivor** is the first and main series on this wikia.

*Survivor* is a reality competition show created by Charlie Parsons, and hosted by Jeff Probst. It was first aired in May of 2000, and is still one of the most recognisable reality shows to this day.

The Survivor series on *Dani's Survivor Wiki* is very heavily based off of the real life show. All characters, seasons, ideas, etc. are completely original, and are made by Dani. The wikia is currently on it's third season.

Below is a complete guide to the show.

## History

Very early 2020, Dani got very invested in Survivor and began to discover the world of Survivor fanon. During the first COVID-19 lockdown, Dani began to create her own. This first season evolved into Survivor: Guam, which she completely wrote and uploaded on the Survivor Fanon Wiki. Once season one finished, she began on season two, Survivor: Huahine. However, this season was very slow paced, and Dani often faced a lack of motivation. Not wanting to give up on all of her work and ideas this early, she migrated to a wiki of her own. Despite it's rocky and slow start, Survivor is now back on track.

## Format

### Castaways

*To view all castaways, visit List of Contestants*

At the beginning of each season, an undetermined amount of contestants (usually 16-20) are marooned on a island. These castaways are given the bare minimum in necessities, meaning they have to learn how to survive on their own. While surviving the elements a game is happening. These castaways must vote each other out, meaning they must align with each other in order to get further into the game. The last castaway remaining is crowned Sole Survivor.

Some seasons feature returning players. These seasons are usually all-star themed, and see a cast consisting of only players that have played before, battling to be known as the best of the best. Other seasons may only feature a portion of the cast as returning players, such as the Fans vs Favourites twist.

As of Survivor: Taiwan, all casts must follow the 50% BIPOC Rule.

### Tribes

*To view all tribes, visit Tribes*

These castaways are divided into tribes. On a typical season, two tribes will compete against each other, however, it is not uncommon for there to be extra tribes competing alongside the usual two. These tribes contain a fraction of the season's contestants. It's possible for tribes to switch at points through the season, meaning members will be shuffled. This continues on until castaways reach the merge.

The merge typically happens halfway through the season. At this point, castaways will leave their tribes and come together as a collective unit. All tribe versus tribe challenges are disbanded, and become individual. The jury starts at (or around) this phase, where castaways will not be sent home if they are voted out, but instead isolated, awaiting their chance to vote for the winner of the season.

### Twists

Twists can occur on specific seasons. These can range from themed seasons, such as All-Star seasons, or advantages, such as the hidden immunity idol. Some twists can even have an impact on the structure of the season, such as Redemption Island, which allows previously eliminated castaways to return to the main game.

A list of twists on each season can be viewed on each season's main season page.

## Trivia

* Alexis Jordain is currently the youngest winner. Both by birth date, and age when won.
* Alyssa-Mae Lopez is currently the only winner to have won in a unanimous vote.
* The general rule while listing tribes is that they are listed in alphabetical order. The only exception to this rule is when the tribe follow the season's subtitle. For example, in a Fans vs Favourites season, the fans tribe will always be listed before the favourites.
