CBS Announces The New “Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites” Cast
Well, I’m a little behind since this was actually announced the other day, but don’t let that fool you into thinking I’m not excited about the new season of “Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites” that’s coming up. It looks like it could be pretty good.
This season there will be 20 castaways competing for the million bucks. As you probably know by now there’s a pretty big twist to the game. I’ll let the producers tell you…
In a “Survivor” first, 10 ultra-fans of the series will take on 10 former castaways to compete as Fans vs. Favorites. The two tribes will be marooned amid the Rock Islands of Palau, Micronesia. The skills of the former castaways will be put to the test while the tribe of first-time competitors will see if their enthusiasm and passion for the game is enough to distinguish them as worthy competitors. The Favorites have an advantage because they’ve played the game before, but that could also be their biggest disadvantage…the tribe of Fans know how the Favorites have played the game. Although the game play of the Fans is unknown and could prove to be their advantage, the Fans’ lack of experience could be their worst enemy and potential downfall. Who will prevail?

I’m not altogether sure some of the “favorites” really fit into that category since they weren’t especially liked, but I guess people (fans) do know most of them. There’s some good ones who didn’t make it, but I guess that’s the way it goes sometimes.
“Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites,” the 16th installment of the Emmy Award-winning series, premieres Thursday, Feb. 7 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
