||
| − | [[John Cochran]] was crowned the Sole Survivor after achieving the second [[Perfect Game]] in ''Survivor'' history. He beat out [[Dawn Meehan]] and [[Sherri Biethman]] in an 8-0-0 Jury vote. |

| − | ==Production== |
||
| − | This season repeats the back-to-back filming seen since 2009. The Production Team filmed this season immediately after {{s|25}} finished filming. CBS announced on January 11th that the season premiere would last for 2 hours; however, on February 7th, CBS changed the premiere to be only 90 minutes long. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A casting call happened the same way as it did in {{S|16}}. Jeff stated that they would have liked to have [[Shambo Waters]] and [[Matthew Elrod]] back, but they said they're "done with ''Survivor''" and [[Lisa Whelchel]] was considered difficult to be brought back on back-to-back seasons due to being a mother. <ref>{{cite web|title=Jeff Probst reveals the players who would not return to play 'Survivor: Caramoan -- Fans vs. Favorites'|url=http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/02/01/jeff-probst-survivor-caramoan-fans-vs-favorites/|last=Ross|first=Dalton|publisher=Entertainment Weekly|date=February 1, 2013|accessdate=February 6, 2013}}</ref> [[Troyzan Robertson]] was originally going to be on the season but got cut in favor of Malcolm Freberg.

||
| − | * '''Tribe Switch:''' On Day 15, three Fans were switched to the New [[Bikal]] tribe and four Favorites were switched to the New [[Gota]] tribe. |

| − | ==Season Summary== |
||
| − | Stranded in the Caramoan Islands, ten ''Favorites'' (representing the [[Bikal]] tribe) will get a second shot against ten die-hard ''Fans'' (representing the [[Gota]] tribe) of ''[[Survivor]]''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | At the ''Favorites'', [[Phillip Sheppard]] started playing differently than his first time in the game (opting not to be as openly disturbing as in his original season), and rapidly orchestrated a second edition of his past alliance, [[Stealth R Us 2.0|Stealth R Us]]. He recruited former alliance-mate [[Andrea Boehlke]] along with several other members of the tribe. As a result, [[Francesca Hogi]] was the first voted out again in a 6-4 vote. In the following days, [[Brandon Hantz]] tried to infiltrate Phillip's alliance as going far as threatening to dump their food supply should they try to eliminate him. |
||
| − | |||
| − | At the ''Fans'', things weren't much better. [[Reynold Toepfer]] and [[Eddie Fox]] formed the [[Cool Kids Alliance]] with [[Allie Pohevitz]], and [[Hope Driskill]], targeting the tribe's loudmouth and complainer, [[Shamar Thomas]] who they disliked due to his lazyness around camp. [[Sherri Biethman]] however, noticed the four bond in the ocean and rallied the other six members of the tribe, to form a [[Gota Alliance|coalition]]. With the Gota Alliance in the majority, Allie and Hope were voted out in the ''Fans''' first two [[Tribal Council]]s. Luckily for Reynold and Eddie (the last of the Cool Kids), Shamar was evacuated due to an eye injury that could affect his vision. Also, Reynold had found his tribe's [[Hidden Immunity Idol]], and played it the night [[Laura Alexander]] was voted out because of her weakness in challenges. Reynold quickly found another idol the next day. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Enjoying a winning streak, the ''Favorites'' had a 9-6 majority over the Fans. Unfortunately, Brandon felt he was shunned from the tribe after being in the minority, and dumped all of the ''Favorites''' food out on the ground. This caused the ''Favorites'' to forfeit the [[Immunity Challenge]] to vote Brandon out in an impromptu Tribal Council, and he was eliminated in a unanimous vote leaving the tribes 8-6. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A [[Tribe Switch]] occurred on Day 14 mixed up the fans and the favorites, where the new Gota got all of the physically strongest players, leaving Bikal with the three of the season's oldest tribe cast members. Nonetheless, the favorites had the upper hand, outnumbering the fans on both tribes, 4-3. Meanwhile at Gota, [[Malcolm Freberg]] decided to betray Stealth R Us, and align with Reynold and Eddie. While the new Gota dominated the challenges, Phillip's Stealth R Us alliance was in control of Bikal despite tensions between Phillip and [[Corinne Kaplan]] slightly heating up, voting out [[Matt Bischoff]] and [[Julia Landauer]] in subsequent Tribal Councils. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When the two tribes [[Merge|merged]] that formed the tribe [[Enil Edam]], Corinne and [[Michael Snow]] decided to switch to the new Cool Kids Alliance (Malcolm, Reynold and Eddie), while Phillip put together a solid core for Stealth R Us consisting of himself, Andrea, [[John Cochran]], and [[Dawn Meehan]] (who were his other allies). Corinne also said to Dawn her plan in blindsiding Phillip after they voted out Sherri, but Dawn used it against Corinne instead, telling the Stealth R Us 2.0 alliance to target Corinne. Phillip then brought in former outsiders [[Brenda Lowe]] and [[Erik Reichenbach]], as well as Sherri in order to form a majority against Corinne. Corinne was blindsided as a result in a 7-5 vote. |
||
| − | |||
| − | With Stealth R Us in the majority with a 7-4 numbers advantage, the Cool Kids decided to put Reynold's rehidden idol (which he found immediately after Laura's elimination) to good use. He played it on Malcolm, but Andrea convinced Stealth R Us to turn the vote to Michael as a failsafe, and he was eliminated. Now with the numbers 7-3, Reynold won immunity which left Malcolm & Eddie vulnerable, but Malcolm found Reynold's rehidden idol, having him possess two idols at once. At a dramatic Tribal Council, Malcolm gave Eddie his Bikal idol and blatantly announced they are targeting Phillip. With Reynold immune and Malcolm and Eddie both having idols, paranoia took over Tribal Council, with the alliance murmuring back and forth. In the end, the "Three Amigos" successfully put a dent on the alliance, eliminating Phillip. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Powerless after not finding the rehidden Idol, Malcolm Freberg and Reynold Toepfer were eliminated. With Phillip gone, the remnants of his alliance began to fall apart. Cochran and Dawn stayed together however, and got strategic threats Andrea and Brenda voted out before Eddie. Erik was medically evacuated the same night Brenda got voted out, and Eddie, the last of the Three Amigos completed the Jury on Day 38. |
||
| − | |||
| − | At the [[Final Tribal Council]], the [[Jury]] ignored Sherri for being highly inactive after the swap, lack of understanding of her role in the game, and her combative responses to them. The jury accused Dawn as overly-emotional, which was disruptive on strategy and in camp life, and hiding behind her character of a mother of six. Meanwhile, Cochran was respected after apparently mastering the social game, strategic game, and even the physical game in a degree. With this, Cochran was declared the Sole Survivor, in an unanimous 8-0-0 vote. |
