Survivor 16, Micronesia starts on 28 June at 20:00 on SABC3. Survivor is back, and this time, it's fans versus favourites. Ten super fans of the show, and 10 all stars compete against each other on the island of Micronesia near Palau.
Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favourites is the sixteenth season of the United States reality show
Survivor. Pitting die-hard Survivor fans against some of the series' past contestants, this season was the show's third to include contestants from past seasons, after the all-returning contestant pool from
Survivor: All-Stars, and
Survivor: Guatemala in which two contestants from
Survivor: Palau returned for a second chance.
The season was filmed in Palau, marking it the second time Survivor has filmed there. The filming locations for this season were the same as those used in
Survivor: Palau (Airai lived in the former Koror camp and Malakal lived in the former Ulong camp). Exile Island returned this season after being absent from
Survivor: China, with a new twist of one castaway from each tribe being sent to Exile Island where they had to compete to find the hidden immunity idol.
For the first time since Survivor: Panama, the final Tribal Council featured a final two rather than a final three.
