Survivor: Micronesia

Survivor: Micronesia is the 16th installment of Survivor.

Twists/Changes

 * Fans versus Favorites: Ten new contestants (all of whom are die-hard fans of Survivor) faced ten of the show's most popular contestants. Airai was the tribe of fans while Malakal was comprised of the favorites.
 * Temporary Immunity Idols: At the beginning of the game, the contestants vied for two individual Immunity Idols, one for each tribe. The first person who gets the tribe's idol will be immune at his/her first visit to Tribal Council.
 * Exile Island: Exile Island returns after being absent in China. Another twist is that, one person from both tribes will be sent to Exile and compete to find one Hidden Immunity Idol.
 * Hidden Immunity Idols: Hidden Immunity Idols return this season.
 * Tribe Switch: Both tribes swapped four members each.
 * Even-numbered Jury: This season marked the first time that a Jury is comprised of even numbers.
 * Final Tribal Council: The standard two-finalist Final Tribal Council returns after three seasons of having a three-finalist finale.
