Survivor: Africa is the third season of James' Survivor FanFiction. Sixteen strangers will compete against one another while battling the elements. They must learn to adapt, or they will be voted out. If they can learn to outwit, outplay, and outlast the rest, they will be given the million dollar prize and the title of sole survivor!
The winner of the season was Abbas, defeating Ingrid in a 5-2 vote for the title of Sole Survivor and the $1,000,000 prize. Adela was named the "Player of the Season", winning $100,000.
Production
This season featured sixteen all new castaways, divided into two tribes of eight. The tribes this season were Boran, wearing yellow, and Samburu, in red. Both tribes are named after tribes living in Kenya. On Day 20, the two tribes merged into the Moto Maji tribe, wearing teal. The merged tribe consists of the Swahili words meaning "fire" and "water".
Twists
- Past Votes Tiebreaker: In an event of a tie vote, a revote would take place. If there is still a stalemate after the second round of voting, the votes cast against the players in question at previous Tribal Councils will also be counted. The castaway that had more votes would be eliminated from the game.
- Tribe Swap: For the first time in the history of the series, tribe members switched tribes during the tribal phase.
