Presented byJeff ProbstWinnerMichele FitzgeraldLocationKoh Rong, Cambodia

Survivor: Kaôh Rōng is the 32nd season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor. As with Survivor: Cagayan, the season features players initially divided into three tribes of six based on dominant attribute: "Brains" (intelligence), "Brawn" (athleticism), and "Beauty" (attractiveness and charisma).[1] The competition was filmed in Koh Rong, Cambodia during the spring of 2015 and aired from February 17, 2016 until May 18, 2016, when Michele Fitzgerald was named the Sole Survivor over Aubry Bracco and Tai Trang in a vote of 5–2–0.[2][3]

Though this was the 32nd season to air, it was the 31st to shoot, having been filmed before Survivor: Cambodia, which aired first; the two seasons were filmed back-to-back in the same location.[1] Like all seasons from Survivor: Fiji onward, this season features hidden immunity idols that can be played after the votes are cast but before they are read; new to this season is that two idols can be combined into an idol that can be played after the votes are read, similar to idols found in Panama, Cook Islands, and Cagayan.[4] This season also introduced the power to remove a member of the jury, which was given to the finalist who won the final reward challenge.

Contestants

The cast is composed of 18 new players, initially split into three tribes containing six members each: Chan Loh ("Brains"), To Tang ("Brawn") and Gondol ("Beauty").[5] The cast includes former NBA player Scot Pollard and Big Brother 16 contestant Caleb Reynolds.[6]

Season summary

The 18 new castaways were divided into three tribes based on primary attribute: Chan Loh (Brains), To Tang (Brawn) and Gondol (Beauty). Though the Brawn lost three of the first four immunity challenges, being reduced to only Cydney, Jason, and Scot, all three survived through the tribe swap, reaching the merge alongside four Brains and four Beauties.

Upon merging, the Brawns and Beauties initially aligned against the Brains but, put off by their male allies’ attitudes, the Brawn-Beauty women Cydney, Julia and Michele decided to team up with the Brains instead to form a new majority alliance. Though the minority alliance of Jason, Scot and Tai had two hidden immunity idols, Aubry convinced Tai to betray his allies, getting rid of one of the idols and joining the majority.

Though Aubry and Cydney were the primary strategists of the new alliance, they both turned against each other when there were four players remaining; Aubry won the tiebreaker to join Michele and Tai in the finals. While all three were praised and criticized by the jury, the jury applauded Michele’s more relaxed social game over Aubry’s outwardly strategic game play and Tai’s erratic strategy, and she was awarded the title of Sole Survivor.

Reception

Critical reception

The season received favorable reviews by critics and fans, with many applauding the overall season but some calling the finale lackluster. Many were critical of Michele Fitzgerald as the winner, stating that runner-up Aubry Bracco was more deserving of the title.[38] Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter praised the season's unpredictability but panned the final Tribal Council, saying "this was one of the rare seasons that came into its last leg with no inherently 'wrong' winner;" but "a dismal jury delivered a verdict that came so close to wrong it may retroactively dampen my feelings for the season as a whole."[39] Andy Dehnart of Reality Blurred echoed this sentiment, stating that it "ended up being a strong season overall, with some exceptionally dramatic moments and interesting game play throughout" but the finale was a "disappointing three hours."[40]

Ratings

Ratings for the premiere were down considerably from both the Worlds Apart season and Cambodia season, attaining a 1.9/7 rating/share among adults 18-49; this was largely due to American Idol airing at the same time as the show and attaining a 2.0/7 rating.[7] Including DVR playback, the premiere was watched by 10 million viewers and got a 2.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic, slightly surpassing American Idol's 9.76 million viewers and 2.5 rating.[41]

It was often in the top ten most watched broadcast shows among adults 18-49, a trend that started with episode three. By April, the show became the No. 1 unscripted program among adults in all demographics, beating The Voice.[42]
