Survivor: Fiji
Survivor: Fiji is the fourteenth season of Survivor, held in, Macuata, Vanua Levu, Fiji. The game started with two Tribes of nine people each with the person who was not chosen for a Tribe was sent to Exile Island. The Tribes compete in Reward Challenges, to gain food and supplies. After Reward Challenges, the winner(s) choose somebody to go to Exile Island, where they must fend for themself for a day. Each person who goes to Exile Island will get a clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol. There is an Idol at each Tribes camp. The person who finds it can use the Idol before the votes are read in case they think they're in danger up to and threw the Final Five. Then they compete in Immunity Challenges. The winning Tribe guarantees that all Tribe members are safe a few more days while the losing Tribe must go to Tribal Council and vote somebody off. During this process, each Tribe lives on separate beaches and must build a shelter, make fire and catch and cook food to survive. There are also Tribal Swaps, where the existing Tribes swap some members to form new Tribes and really change the Tribe dynamic. Once a certain amount of players have been voted off, the two Tribes merge to form one Tribe. They then compete for individual Rewards, where one (or more if the winner gets a chance to select somebody to accompany them), castaway enjoys food or some sort of cultural experience. They also compete for individual Immunity, where the person that wins cannot be voted out at Tribal Council and one of the others is voted out. However, the person that wins Immunity has a chance to give Immunity to someone else and become vulnerable themself. At a certain point, the voted out castaways become members of the Jury, who, once down to the final competitors, vote for who they think should win the million dollars. The finalist with the most votes is deemed the sole survivor.

Trivia
- Due to Mellisa McNulty dropping out only hours before the castaways were set adrift, the crew was unable to pick a replacement contestant and the season started with 19 castaways. This makes Fiji the first and only season to begin with an odd number of castaways.
- Fiji is the first season to have an uneven number of male and female players. It would be followed later by San Juan del Sur.
- This is the first and thus far, only season with an all-African-American Final Three.
- This is the first season to have two runners-up, due to Cassandra Franklin and Dreamz Herd both receiving no votes from the jury. As a result, there were two second-place finishers and no third-place finisher. This later occurred in Philippines, Caramoan, Worlds Apart, Cambodia and Millennials vs. Gen X.
- This is the first season to have a unanimous winner.
- Gary Stritesky became the first castaway to quit due to an illness.
- During the finale, both Earl Cole and host Jeff Probst mentioned that Earl had never received a vote against him. However, this is untrue as Rita Verreos voted against him during the third Tribal Council.
- This season is tied with Cook Islands for the most African-American, Asian-American, and Hispanic-American contestants, with five of each race.
- Due to Mellisa dropping out of the competition, this is the first series where the number of African-American, Asian-American, and Hispanic-American contestants outnumbered the amount of Caucasian contestants. There is speculation that the tribes were supposed to be divided up by race again, similar to Cook Islands.
- The season was supposed to have a Loved Ones Challenge, but due to the political turmoil in Fiji at the time of filming, the challenge was scrapped and the loved ones stayed home.
