Survivor: All-Stars is the eighth season of James' Survivor FanFiction. In a change to previous instalments, the contestants are returning players from the seven previous seasons. Eighteen All-Stars 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 Ben, defeating Isaiah in a 4-3 vote for the title of Sole Survivor and the $1,000,000 prize. Mina was named the "Player Of The Season", winning a record $1,000,000 in the America's Tribal Council special aired post-season.
Production
This season featured eighteen returning players (dubbed All-Stars), divided into three tribes of six. This meant for the first time a series began with a format other than sixteen players broken into two tribes of eight. The tribes this season were Chapera, wearing red, Mogo Mogo, wearing green, and Saboga, in yellow. All three tribes are named after islands within the Pearl Islands. On Day 23, the tribes merged into the Chaboga Mogo tribe, wearing blue.
James Ben Linus has confirmed that casting for All-Stars took place immediately following the 'on paper' versions of the first seven seasons (meaning prior to them being written up). As it was simulated in 2013 (with Borneo not being written-up until 2014) many of the casting inclusions/snubs may seem surprising. In particular, those greatly deemed worthy of returning who were not chosen included Alice of Borneo, Alia and Victor of The Australian Outback, David and Marsha of Africa, and Duana, Ibrahim and James of Marquesas. The inclusion of three Pearl Islands alumni was also pointed out as a regret, due to the fact that it would have been factually difficult to bring three individuals back so soon after filming. A full list of those who were considered/invited but not chosen can be found here.
Twists
- All-Star: For the first time, eighteen former castaways returned for another shot at the title of Sole Survivor.
- Tribe Composition: The cast was divided into three tribes of six.
- Meager Supplies: The tribes only received a pot and machete at the start of the game.
- Tribe Absorption: Saboga, the tribe that lost the Day 13 Reward Challenge, was dissolved, with its remaining members to be absorbed by the other two tribes. Teddy and William became members of Chapera, and Danni and Michael became members of Mogo Mogo.
- Tribe Switch: On Day 20, rather than to merge, the remaining ten contestants took part in a random draw to determine two new tribe line-ups.
- Pre-merge Individual Challenge: The Day 21 Reward Challenge featured an individual Reward Challenge despite the tribes still being separate. The winner, Ben selected two members from either tribe (Danni and Teddy) to join him in the reward.
- Merged Tribe Composition: The merged tribe was composed of nine members for the first time ever.
- Two Immunity Necklaces: The first individual Immunity Challenge featured two Immunity Necklace, one for a man and one for a woman.
