This is the first season of the Philippine version of Survivor.

J.C. Tiuseco defeated Rob Sy in a 7-2 jury vote to become the Sole Survivor.

Production[]

The inaugural season was set in Ko Tarutao, Thailand, the same place where the fifth American season, Survivor: Thailand, was filmed. The Tribal Council set was built on the same pier where the American version's was constructed.

Though the season was advertised to have only 16 castaways, it was later expanded to 18. The castaways were initially divided into two tribes sorted by gender, Jarakay and Naak, Thai words for crocodile and snake respectively, though no Buffs were handed. In a twist, the Buffs were given out at the first Immunity Challenge, where a surprise Tribe Switch occurred, into tribes pre-selected by production.

Twists/Changes[]

  • Men vs. Women/Tribe Switch: The castaways were initially divided into tribes based on gender, with the men assigned to Jarakay, and the women to Naak​ with no Buffs given to the castaways for the first two days. However, when Buffs were given to the castaways before the first Immunity Challenge, the survivors were assigned to their pre-determined tribe affiliations.
  • Double Elimination: After voting one of their own out following their loss at the Day 9 Immunity Challenge, Jarakay was asked to eliminate a second member.
  • Kidnapping: The tribe who won the Day 10 Reward Challenge were given the advantage of kidnapping a member from the losing tribe in which the kidnapped castaway stayed in their camp for a day. If the kidnapped player's tribe lost the following Immunity Challenge, the abducted player will share tribal immunity with the winning tribe and return to their tribe after Tribal Council.
  • Pearls: During the merge stage, before a castaway left the game after being voted out, they assigned either the Black and/or White Pearl to any of the remaining castaways, each with a different use. The effects of both pearls can be nullified if the recipient won the next Immunity Challenge.
    • Black Pearl: Its recipient received an additional vote at the next Tribal Council; two votes if the recipient failed to bring the pearl at Tribal Council.
    • White Pearl: Its recipient was allowed to remove one vote against them at the next Tribal Council.
  • Public Vote: A public vote was held during the broadcast of the Final Tribal Council. Whichever from the Final Two had the higher percentage of the public vote received another vote to win.

Notes:

^2 As part of their victory at the Immunity Challenge, Jarakay abducted one member of Naak. The chosen castaway, Kiko, was also given immunity and did not attend Tribal Council.
^3 Cris did not bring the Cursed Pearl to Tribal Council, so he received two votes instead of one. However, both votes were nullified because he won the Immunity Challenge.
^4 JC and Charisse did not vote as they could only vote for each other. By virtue of winning the Final Immunity Challenge, only Rob voted.
^5 By virtue of winning the public vote, JC received one extra jury vote to win.
