Survivor: Belize

***Survivor: Belize***, also known as ***Survivor: Belize - Fans vs. Favorites***, is the tenth season of *Brovivor*.

In a season that tested the age-old division of fan versus favorite, it was the *Brovivor* Favorites tribe that ultimately came out on top, winning the season's first four Immunity Challenges. As a result, only three Fans made it to the jury stage of the season, however all three are presently regarded as three worthy contenders from one of the biggest seasons in *Brovivor* history.

In the end, it was former Sole Survivor Fishy who narrowly defeated Jake and Jordan in the Final Tribal Council, by a vote of 4-3-1. Fishy became the series's first two-time winner, while both Jake and Jordan now hold impressive placement averages, each beating their 4th place finishes from the two previous seasons.

## Production

*Belize* began early production sometime during the previous season of *Brovivor*, where Joseph put out early interest applications for a potential returning player season. At some point, the focus soon changed to casting for a "Fans vs. Favorites" style season. While there was enough players interested, it was determined that winners and previous two-time players would also be allowed to compete, breaking tradition from the canon *Survivor'*s casting decisions in order to balance the amount of representatives from each season.

Players who applied but did not make the cut include...

* Doge from *Survivor: Peru* and *Survivor: Tokelau*
* Eva from *Survivor: Tokelau* and *Survivor: Cape Verde*
* Sky from *Survivor: Pirate Island* and *Survivor: Faroe Islands*
* Choc from *Survivor: Chios* and *Survivor: Faroe Islands*
* Shame from *Survivor: Lesotho*
* Bam from *Survivor: Cape Verde*
* Roll from *Survivor: Cape Verde*
* Hlane from *Survivor: Seychelles*
* James from *Survivor: Seychelles*
* John from *Survivor: Seychelles*
* Scotty from *Survivor: Seychelles*
* Shane from *Survivor: Seychelles*
* Tristan from *Survivor: Seychelles*

## Twists/Changes

* **Fans vs. Favorites:** Ten *Brovivor* superfans take on ten of the most prolific players from the series.
* **Secret Pairs:** At the first immunity challenge, players were assigned a secret partner from the opposing tribe with the goal of being the last pair remaining at some point in the game. Depending on when the twist was won, there would be different rewards earned.
	+ If won at or before the F9 Tribal: Two rounds of immunity.
	+ If won at the F8 Tribal: One round of immunity, advantage at F6 immunity challenge.
	+ If won at the F7 Tribal: One round of immunity.
	+ If won at the F6 Tribal: Advantage at the F5 immunity challenge.
* **Devil's Den:** During each Immunity Challenge, players were given the opportunity to either submit for themselves or for their tribe. Each Selfish Submission would therefore be ranked, with the highest scorer receiving a clue to the location of the Hidden Immunity Idol. Only the number of Selfish Submissions would be revealed publicly. Receiving the clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol allowed you to therefore begin the idol hunt. However, any Selfish Submissions where they did *not* score the highest would cause the player to lose their vote at the upcoming Tribal Council.
