+ | '''''Survivor: Worlds Apart''''', also known as '''''Survivor: Worlds Apart — White Collar vs. Blue Collar vs. No Collar''''', is the thirtieth season of ''{{dab|Survivor|U.S.}}''. The initial tribes were divided based on the economic/professional background of their members. To date, it has produced four returning players ([[Hali Ford]], [[Joe Anglim]], [[Shirin Oskooi]], and [[Sierra Dawn Thomas]]) for subsequent seasons. |
||
− | '''Survivor: Worlds Apart''' is the 30th season of ''[[Survivor (U.S.)|Survivor]]''. |
||
+ | This season saw an abnormally high level of interpersonal strife between contestants. Major incidents included: the controversial invective that [[Will Sims II]] directed against Shirin; the misogynistic conduct of [[Rodney Lavoie Jr.]]; the fraught social standing of [[Dan Foley]]; the latter's emotional conflict with [[Mike Holloway]]; [[Nina Poersch]]'s feelings of exclusion from her tribe based on her hearing impairment; and [[Jenn Brown]]'s withdrawal from the main social action of the game after the elimination of her friend, Hali. After an extended streak of [[Immunity Challenge]] victories, Mike won the title of [[Sole Survivor]] in a 6-1-1 [[jury]] vote over Will and [[Carolyn Rivera]]. |

||
+ | {{quote|none|Leading up to 30, we spent almost a year talking about whether we should do some sort of all-star season with returning players, and that seemed to be the conventional wisdom. A lot of people were expecting us to do that. But Mark and I were talking on the phone one day and Mark said something so simple. Mark said, Just keep in mind, Jeff—it is our 30th season, but it is also just our 30th season. And that really struck me, and from that moment on I realized, yeah, this is not the end of ''Survivor''. It just happens to be a big number. Let's just do a great season.|Jeff Probst, on conceptualizing season 30}} |
||
⚫ | Probst explained why ''San Juan del Sur'' failed to be on par with the past four seasons. He stated that they decided on the theme (the "{{dab|Blood vs. Water|twist}}" concept) before casting. In an attempt to remedy last season's less than stellar performance, the host said they went into casting before they decided how they were going to divide them into tribes.<ref>http://www.tvguide.com/news/survivor-season-worlds-apart-jeff-probst-white-blue-no-collar/</ref><ref>http://www.ew.com/article/2015/01/21/survivor-worlds-apart-cast-jeff-probst</ref> |
||
+ | |||
⚫ | The idea of "White Collar vs. Blue Collar" was considered but the producers found the concept flat on its own. But with the success of {{S|28}}'s "[[Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty]]", they settled on having a third tribe, thus "No Collar"'s conception. Probst claimed that the "No Collar" archetype was his idea.<ref>http://xfinity.comcast.net/blogs/tv/2014/12/17/survivor-host-jeff-probst-spills-the-beans-on-survivor-worlds-apart/</ref> |

==Season Summary== |
==Season Summary== |
||
+ | The eighteen new castaways were divided into three tribes of six based on profession: [[Escameca]] (Blue Collar), [[Masaya]] (White Collar), and [[Nagarote]] (No Collar). Despite frequent arguments between the Blue Collars, they only went to [[Tribal Council]] once, as did the White Collars. Though the No Collars lost two members, a [[Nagarote Alliance|core alliance]] of [[Hali Ford|Hali]], [[Jenn Brown|Jenn]], and [[Joe Anglim|Joe]] formed, with [[Will Sims II|Will]] as their fourth. With 14 players remaining, the players were redistributed into two tribes of seven; on Escameca, Blue Collar [[Rodney Lavoie Jr.|Rodney]] and White Collar [[Joaquin Souberbielle|Joaquin]] aligned, but Rodney's former Blue Collar allies, led by [[Mike Holloway|Mike]], blindsided Joaquin to break up the pair and retain Rodney's loyalty. |
||
− | ==Episode Guide== |
||
+ | |||
+ | When the tribes merged, two alliances vied for dominance: the Nagarote Alliance of No Collars, now with White Collar [[Shirin Oskooi|Shirin]], against the [[Escameca Alliance]] of Blue Collars. However, due to White Collars [[Carolyn Rivera|Carolyn]] and [[Tyler Fredrickson|Tyler]], alongside Will joining the Blue Collars' side, the Escameca Alliance took control of the game, systematically eliminating the Nagarote Alliance. Though Rodney remained with the Blue Collars, he constructed his own alliance with the swing vote Carolyn, Tyler, and Will to eventually take down the other Blue Collars to avenge Joaquin. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Mike overheard Rodney's inner alliance plotting his blindside and outed his plans, but instead found himself ousted from the majority alliance and made the primary target. However, Mike won five of the last six [[Immunity Challenge]]s and played a [[Hidden Immunity Idol]] the only time he was vulnerable. Due to the alliance being unable to get rid of Mike, they were forced to turn on each other. Eventually Mike's immunity wins and the use of the Hidden Immunity Idol enabled him to make it to the end along with Carolyn and Will. |
||
+ | |||
+ | At the [[Final Tribal Council]], Mike was praised for winning so many Immunity Challenges and making it to the end despite being a massive target, but was criticized for his poor social game, Carolyn received some criticism for backstabbing her ally Tyler, and Will was berated for making derogatory comments toward Shirin and her family. In the end, Mike was awarded with six of the eight [[jury]] votes, and the title of [[Sole Survivor]] in a 6-1-1 vote. |

+ | * ''Worlds Apart'' marks the first time since {{S2|19}} that there have been three seasons in a row to feature only new contestants. |
||
− | *This is the fourth season to have a three-tribe format, following {{S|8}}, {{S|25}}, and {{S|28}}. |
||
+ | * ''Worlds Apart'' is the first season with more than two starting tribes where all three tribes attended a [[Tribal Council]] before a [[Tribe Switch|tribe switch]] or absorption. |
||
− | **This is the second time (following {{S4|28}}) the three tribes were not divided randomly. |
||
+ | * ''Worlds Apart'' is the first season where all the [[Hidden Immunity Idol]]s found were played effectively. [[Jenn Brown]], [[Mike Holloway]], and [[Carolyn Rivera]] all played their respective idols to negate a majority of the votes. |
||
− | **It is also the second season (again following ''Cagayan'') to feature three starting tribes with an entirely new cast. |
||
− | * |
+ | * ''Worlds Apart'' is the first season in ''Survivor'' (U.S.) where a castaway was able to [[Extra Vote|vote twice]] at the same Tribal Council. |
+ | * ''Worlds Apart'' is tied with {{S2|1}} for fewest eliminations by a unanimous vote, with one. |
||
− | * This is the first three-tribe season to have all three starting tribes vote out at least one member prior to the tribe dissolve. |
||
+ | **Coincidentally, in both seasons, the only unanimous vote happened at the final five Tribal Council. |
||
− | * This is the first time in the U.S. version to have a castaway be able to vote twice in a single voting. |
||
− | * |
+ | * ''Worlds Apart'' is the first season since {{S2|17}} to utilize the fire-making [[tiebreaker]] challenge. |
+ | * ''Worlds Apart'' is the first season where the finalists were not given the chance to give opening statements at [[Final Tribal Council]]. |
||

Latest revision as of 23:37, 2 March 2024
Survivor: Worlds Apart, also known as Survivor: Worlds Apart — White Collar vs. Blue Collar vs. No Collar, is the thirtieth season of Survivor. The initial tribes were divided based on the economic/professional background of their members. To date, it has produced four returning players (Hali Ford, Joe Anglim, Shirin Oskooi, and Sierra Dawn Thomas) for subsequent seasons.
This season saw an abnormally high level of interpersonal strife between contestants. Major incidents included: the controversial invective that Will Sims II directed against Shirin; the misogynistic conduct of Rodney Lavoie Jr.; the fraught social standing of Dan Foley; the latter's emotional conflict with Mike Holloway; Nina Poersch's feelings of exclusion from her tribe based on her hearing impairment; and Jenn Brown's withdrawal from the main social action of the game after the elimination of her friend, Hali. After an extended streak of Immunity Challenge victories, Mike won the title of Sole Survivor in a 6-1-1 jury vote over Will and Carolyn Rivera.
Production
Filming commenced weeks after Survivor: San Juan del Sur, while information about this season was revealed at the end of that season's live Reunion Show.
Originally, the season was planned to feature returning players to mark the show's 15th anniversary and 30th installment, but Executive Producer Mark Burnett decided to have new contestants instead. Host Jeff Probst said:
“ | Leading up to 30, we spent almost a year talking about whether we should do some sort of all-star season with returning players, and that seemed to be the conventional wisdom. A lot of people were expecting us to do that. But Mark and I were talking on the phone one day and Mark said something so simple. Mark said, Just keep in mind, Jeff—it is our 30th season, but it is also just our 30th season. And that really struck me, and from that moment on I realized, yeah, this is not the end of Survivor. It just happens to be a big number. Let's just do a great season. | ” |
—Jeff Probst, on conceptualizing season 30 |
Probst explained why San Juan del Sur failed to be on par with the past four seasons. He stated that they decided on the theme (the "Blood vs. Water" concept) before casting. In an attempt to remedy last season's less than stellar performance, the host said they went into casting before they decided how they were going to divide them into tribes.[1][2]
The idea of "White Collar vs. Blue Collar" was considered but the producers found the concept flat on its own. But with the success of Survivor: Cagayan's "Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty", they settled on having a third tribe, thus "No Collar"'s conception. Probst claimed that the "No Collar" archetype was his idea.[3]
The contestants that were eliminated before the jury phase were sequestered in Costa Rica.[4]
The motif of the season was inspired by classic shipwreck novels Swiss Family Robinson and Gilligan's Island.[5]
Twists/Changes
- Tribe Division by Profession: The 18 castaways are divided according to their professions and approaches to life:
- The Masaya ("White Collar") tribe is made up of castaways who work in the corporate world with a degree of authority. They "make the rules."
- The Escameca ("Blue Collar") tribe is made up of castaways who work on manual labor. They "follow the rules."
- The Nagarote ("No Collar") tribe is made up of castaways who are free spirits with passion-based occupations. They "break the rules."
- Hidden Immunity Idol: A Hidden Immunity Idol is hidden at each one of the tribe's camps.
- Tribe Leaders: At the beginning of the season, two people from each tribe would be chosen as "leaders" and would have to decide together between either receiving a large bag of beans or receiving a smaller bag of beans and a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol.[6]
- Tribe Switch: On Day 12, a tribe switch occurred, simultaneously dissolving the Masaya tribe and mixing the castaways into two tribes of seven.
- Merge: This season merged with twelve castaways in the game.
- Extra Vote: A castaway would get the right to vote twice at the same Tribal Council. The intention of using the second vote should be voiced immediately after all the votes are cast and is valid until the final five.[7][8] It is at the voter's discretion whether they would throw this vote away, vote for the same person twice, or vote against two targets.
- Expanded Jury and Final Three: The Final Tribal Council was held with a Final Three facing an eight-person jury.

Season Summary
The eighteen new castaways were divided into three tribes of six based on profession: Escameca (Blue Collar), Masaya (White Collar), and Nagarote (No Collar). Despite frequent arguments between the Blue Collars, they only went to Tribal Council once, as did the White Collars. Though the No Collars lost two members, a core alliance of Hali, Jenn, and Joe formed, with Will as their fourth. With 14 players remaining, the players were redistributed into two tribes of seven; on Escameca, Blue Collar Rodney and White Collar Joaquin aligned, but Rodney's former Blue Collar allies, led by Mike, blindsided Joaquin to break up the pair and retain Rodney's loyalty.
When the tribes merged, two alliances vied for dominance: the Nagarote Alliance of No Collars, now with White Collar Shirin, against the Escameca Alliance of Blue Collars. However, due to White Collars Carolyn and Tyler, alongside Will joining the Blue Collars' side, the Escameca Alliance took control of the game, systematically eliminating the Nagarote Alliance. Though Rodney remained with the Blue Collars, he constructed his own alliance with the swing vote Carolyn, Tyler, and Will to eventually take down the other Blue Collars to avenge Joaquin.
Mike overheard Rodney's inner alliance plotting his blindside and outed his plans, but instead found himself ousted from the majority alliance and made the primary target. However, Mike won five of the last six Immunity Challenges and played a Hidden Immunity Idol the only time he was vulnerable. Due to the alliance being unable to get rid of Mike, they were forced to turn on each other. Eventually Mike's immunity wins and the use of the Hidden Immunity Idol enabled him to make it to the end along with Carolyn and Will.
At the Final Tribal Council, Mike was praised for winning so many Immunity Challenges and making it to the end despite being a massive target, but was criticized for his poor social game, Carolyn received some criticism for backstabbing her ally Tyler, and Will was berated for making derogatory comments toward Shirin and her family. In the end, Mike was awarded with six of the eight jury votes, and the title of Sole Survivor in a 6-1-1 vote.
