Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers

Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers is the 35th season of Survivor.

Production
The season was filmed in the spring of 2017, following the same schedule that was used for and. The following season was filmed a few weeks after.

The season's motif was inspired by the British colonization of Fiji from 1874 to 1970, with primary focus on shipping trade. As such, Tribal Council was designed to look like an abandoned warehouse overgrown with vines and cluttered with shipwreck debris. The walkway to Tribal Council were actual disused cart tracks.

Twists/Changes

 * Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers: The 18 contestants are divided into 3 tribes based on how they are perceived by their immediate communities:
 * The tribe are the "Heroes", who serve their duties heroically and courageously.
 * The tribe are the "Healers", who serve others by helping them heal physically or emotionally.
 * The tribe are the "Hustlers", who are praised for their work ethic and bravado in achieving goals.
 * Hidden Immunity Idols: For this season clues for the regular idols will be etched on a tree. In addition to regular idols, before the marooning, a "super-idol", a Hidden Immunity Idol which can be used once a castaway receives enough votes to be voted out at Tribal Council rather than before the votes are read, will be planted beneath the supplies. Unlike its, , , and counterparts, this idol can only be used during the first Tribal Council. If the finder's tribe wins the first Immunity Challenge, that player must anonymously send the idol to a member of the losing tribe.
 * Return of Previous Tiebreaker Rules: The revote, which was removed last season, will be reinstated this season. This was announced to the castaways on this season prior to the start of the inaugural Immunity Challenge.
 * Tribe Switch: A tribe switch occurred on Day 9 at the final 15, shuffling the remaining castaways into three tribes of five.
 * Vote Blocker: After the Reward Challenge on Day 9, a vote blocker was hidden in a bag of potato chips for the winning tribe. This allows a castaway to block another from voting at the next Tribal Council. Should the person who found the advantage not attend the next Tribal Council, they must block someone on the losing tribe from voting.
 * Early Merge: This season merged with twelve castaways in the game.
 * Extra Vote: The extra vote returns, though with a difference in its mechanism. This allows one castaway to place the advantage into the voting urn in lieu of their vote and take a blank parchment, allowing them to vote twice at a future Tribal Council.
