Template:Infobox Television Survivor

Survivor: Cambodia — Second Chance is the 31st season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor, which was filmed in summer 2015 in Koh Rong, Cambodia[1] and premiered on September 23, 2015.[2] Unlike previous seasons, which were completely cast by producers, this season featured 20 contestants chosen by an online public vote from a producer-picked pool of 32 past players, all of whom had played only once before and not yet won. The 32 candidates were revealed on May 6, 2015, the same day that voting began, and the final cast was revealed on May 20, at the reunion of the preceding season. After the reveal occurred, the chosen cast members immediately began the trip to Cambodia.[3] On December 16, 2015, Jeremy Collins was declared the winner of the season, defeating Spencer Bledsoe and Latasha "Tasha" Fox in a unanimous 10–0–0 vote.

It is the tenth season to feature returning players, and the third to feature a cast consisting entirely of returning players, after Survivor: All-Stars and Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. Though this season was the 31st to air, it was the 32nd to film, after the subsequently-aired Survivor: Kaôh Rōng; the two seasons were filmed back-to-back in the same location.[4]

This season featured several new alterations to the game format. Hidden immunity idols, typically hidden either at tribal camps or Exile Island, were hidden this season at immunity challenges before the merge. Additionally, this season marked the first time the number of regular tribes increased, from two to three, over the course of a season, and the first time the tribes merged with 13 players remaining. It also introduced the vote stealer, in which one player could prohibit another from voting and cast a second ballot in their stead.

Casting

According to host and executive producer Jeff Probst, 75 former contestants were initially considered regarding returning for this season.[5] On Twitter and in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Probst revealed that Greg Buis from Survivor: Borneo,[6] Ian Rosenberger from Survivor: Palau, Shannon "Shambo" Waters from Survivor: Samoa,[7] Roberta "R.C." Saint-Amour[8] and Jeff Kent from Survivor: Philippines were contacted to return but all of them declined the offers.[9] Josh Canfield from Survivor: San Juan del Sur wrote that he was contacted but was unable to participate due to his role in the Broadway production of Doctor Zhivago.[10] Jaclyn Schultz from San Juan del Sur stated that her fiancé[11] and fellow San Juan del Sur castaway Jon Misch was contacted, but was cut after not responding to a voicemail from the producers in time.[12]

Public vote

Voting was conducted on the CBS website, and was open to residents of the U.S., Canada (where the show is simulcast on Global) and Australia (where the show airs the following day on Go!). On the website, each candidate was featured in a video displaying a series of clips from their original season followed by a plea to voters as to why they should be selected for Cambodia. Registered voters were required to submit ballots of exactly 10 men and 10 women, and each voter could only submit a ballot once every 24 hours. This public voting process was similar to one CBS used in 2006 for the all-star edition of reality program Big Brother.

When the 32 candidates were revealed, two of them—Mike Holloway and Carolyn Rivera—were still competing in Survivor: Worlds Apart. It was announced that, if either of them were revealed to be the winner, they would be deemed ineligible for Cambodia and, should they be among the top 10 vote receivers of their gender, their spot would be given to the person on their ballot with the 11th highest vote total. Holloway ended up winning Worlds Apart while placing in the top 10 among male candidates for Cambodia, thus the 11th place male candidate joined the cast instead. Probst has since stated that, out of respect for the contestants, there is no intention to reveal the final vote counts or ranks.[13]

Season summary

The 20 returning castaways were initially divided into two tribes of ten: Bayon and Ta Keo. Bayon was led by a core alliance spearheaded by Andrew and Jeremy, the entire tribe promising to stay loyal in the face of upcoming tribe swaps. Throughout the two tribe shuffles, the original Ta Keo tribe fractured while most original Bayon members continued acting in the interest of reforming at the merge. However, some—such as Ciera and Kass—were not as loyal, creating a new alliance on the second Ta Keo tribe. On the third Ta Keo tribe, Ciera and Kass' new alliance came into conflict with Andrew, and they blindsided his ally Woo.

The tribes merged the next day with 13 players remaining, setting Andrew and Jeremy's reformed Bayon alliance against Ciera and Kass'. Though the Bayon alliance initially held the majority, the tribe's large size and multitude of intertwining relationships as a result of the tribe swaps caused the players to eschew long-term alliances in favor of creating temporary voting blocs to get rid of common threats. While the voting bloc strategy prevailed well into the merge, stable alliances began to form as the numbers dwindled. Jeremy established an alliance with Spencer, who had had no consistent allies throughout the game, and original Bayon members Tasha and Kimmi. However, with six players remaining, Kimmi betrayed her alliance to align with outsiders Keith and Kelley Wentworth. Kimmi was eliminated after the ensuing deadlock tie, and Jeremy, Spencer, and Tasha reached the end of the game together.

At the Final Tribal Council, both Jeremy and Spencer were criticized for moments of arrogance and Tasha was castigated for doing Jeremy's dirty work. The three were asked what their second chance was about; Spencer said it was about making better relationships and checking in with alliance, Tasha said it was about checking in with her allies, and Jeremy said it was about doing it for his family. Ultimately, the jury felt that Spencer and Tasha had not formed genuine social bonds with them whereas Jeremy had, and they unanimously voted for him to win the title of sole Survivor.

  1. ^ a b Jeremy and Kelley played hidden immunity idols, therefore three votes against each did not count. As there were no counted ballots, all the castaways then re-voted between those who weren't immune.
  2. ^ The vote resulted in a tie. Per the rules, another vote would be held where the tied castaways could not vote and the remaining castaways could only vote for those who tied. However, all four castaways verbally agreed that they would not change their votes, thus the tie immediately became deadlocked.
  3. ^ No vote; Terry was pulled from the game due to a family emergency.
  4. ^ Kelley played a hidden immunity idol, therefore nine votes against her were not counted.
  5. ^ Jeremy played a hidden immunity idol on Stephen, therefore five votes against him were not counted.
  6. ^ a b Stephen used his vote stealer on Joe, therefore Joe was ineligible to vote whereas Stephen cast two ballots.
  7. ^ Due to a deadlocked tie, the non-tied castaways had to come to a unanimous decision to vote out either Kimmi or Tasha, or else Keith, the only non-immune deliberating castaway, would be eliminated (as per the rock draw rules). The non-tied castaways unanimously decided to eliminate Kimmi.

Critical reception

The season received favorable reviews among both critics and fans. Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter reviewed the season positively, saying "The episodes this fall were a reminder of why this show works so well and why you can never rule out Survivor to produce twists and turns that rival what you might find on a Netflix or HBO drama."[60] Dan Heaton of the Survivor-based fansite Rob Has a Website gave the finale — and the season — a favourable review, saying

This week's very satisfying finale included one of the show's greatest Tribal Councils and barely took a breath in the rush to the finish. Three different players won immunity, tears were shed, and no one backed down. There were no horrible gaffes at the Final Tribal Council, and the jury mostly avoided the bitter route. Kimmi emerged from a quiet edit to nearly dethrone the champ while Keith remained his unique self. Spencer and Tasha made a strategic error by sticking with Jeremy, but both showed real determination throughout the season to make the end. To put it mildly, I enjoyed this season.[61]

Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly ranked Cambodia as his 5th-favorite season, only behind Borneo, Micronesia, Heroes vs. Villains and Cagayan. He stated that despite some confusion with the season's constantly-shifting "voting blocs" and his disappointment with some of the challenges, he found the season appealing due to "how hard the bulk of the cast was playing," while also praising the numerous twists such as the fan-vote, idols hidden in challenges, the tribe swaps, and the vote-stealing advantage.[62] Caroline Framke of Vox raved the season, saying "The high level of gameplay in Survivor: Second Chance made a 15-year-old formula feel new again."[63]
