There has seem to be a rise in the Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty seasons all of a sudden. Everyone is on the hype train, and this twist is now being frequently implemented in most ongoing seasons. The question is, what appeal does it have, and what effects are experienced as a consequence? How also does the average BvBvB season work?

In my opinion, Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty is one of the most interesting social experiments done in Survivor. When they did it in Cagayan, I was baffled by the results. The Brains tribe could not get their act together. I mean, you had one openly stating he was thinking about the last two thirds of the game, one having an open forum discussion on who to vote out, one who poured out all the rice, one who became, as the jury said it, "one of the biggest goats in Survivor history", and even more. The Beauty tribe actually fared well, contrary to popular belief. The Brawn tribe, of course, won challenges and fought with each other. In addition, the people from the Brains tribe ended up winning the most individual immunity challenges out of them all, while a Brawn ended up winning the season due to his strategic gameplay. The results are quite unbelieveable and really shift the focus on the game.

So how does it differ in fanons? In my opinion, at least, the results become even less realistic. I believe in most BvBvB fanons, for example, the brawn tribe ends up losing more. I don't think it's quite as much of a social experiment of BvBvB in the fanons as much as it is a way of classifying castaways into tribes and watching its own dynamics, rather than how it faces against each other. It's an interesting prospect that really shows how fanons and the show differ in results.

With the rise of upcoming BvBvB seasons, I think we'll be able to procure more data regarding how writers tackle the twist and plaster it into their fanons. I enjoy the road ahead and look forward to seeing how this twist will be implemented.
