*Survivor: Worlds Apart* is the twenty-third season of Huyopa 2001's Survivor. The season featured 18 castaways.

The finalists of the season were a mixture of the majority alliance and the strongest of the minority. The majority Nagarote alliance Pagogned as many of the Escameca tribe as possible. However, with Byron winning consective immunity challenges, they were forced to turn on each other.

The Final Three included Gail, a strategic leader of the majority alliance and Miles, arguably the weakest link of the majority alliance. Byron was in the minority, but survived through the end of the game. in the end, Byron was given jury votes by all his allies on the jury, while Gail received votes from her allies. However, Byron had more allies voted out and won over Miles and Gail in a 5-3-0 vote.

## Twists/ Changes

**Family Relationships**: Despite not being a Blood vs. Water season, two castaways within the game are mother and daughter with a pre-existing relationship.

Tribe Dissolve: On Day 12, the remaining 14 castaways were split into the new Nagarote and Escameca tribes. This meant that the Masaya tribe was dissolved permanently.

**Kidnapping:** At the Day 16 Tribal Council, the Nagarote tribe were allowed to choose one member of Escameca to be kidnapped. This meant they bypassed the tribal and stayed at Nagarote beach until the following morning. They chose Erin, meaning she could not vote or be voted. The same thing happened on Day 19, where Escameca chose to kidnap Austin which prevented him from being voted for and vote at the Nagarote tribal council.

**Tribe Switch**: On Day 20, the remaining 11 castaways were split into the new Nagarote and Escameca tribe. However, due to the number imbalance, Nagarote had one less member.

Double Immunity: There were two immunity necklace winners at the Day 29 individual immunity challenges as opposed to the regular one. It was announced that the last male and female castaways remaining in the challenge would both be immune from tribal council.

## Trivia

* With this season, Nicaragua beats the Philippines as the location which has been used the most times, with four (after *Redemption Island*, *San Juan Del Sur* and *Nicaragua*).
* This season is the second to have a yellow, red and blue pre-merge tribe and a black merge tribe, following Survivor: Philippines. They would later be followed by Survivor: Kaôh Rōng.
