Survivor: Camarines Sur — Blood vs. Water

''' Disclaimer: All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. '''

Over the years, it is said that the strongest alliances made in the game of Survivor are pairs (Colby/Tina, Jenna/Heidi, Rob/Amber, J.T./Stephen, Russell/Natalie, Russell/Parvati, Rob/Natalie, Kim/Chelsea), and now it will be put to the test...

For this season of my Survivor Fan Fiction, a new group of castaways will embark on a journey like no other. This season, ten pairs with a preexisting relationship will compete against each other for the million dollar prize. While they are competing with somebody they know, they are still separate players, and may work together, or turn on each other, because in the end, there will still be one Sole Survivor. Which couple will prevail? Which couple will crack?

Relationships will be tested. Friendships will be broken! 39 days, 20 people, one survivor!

This fan fiction season is based on the fourth season of our local version, Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Doubles Showdown.

Twists/Changes

 * Couples Format: In a drastic format change, the twenty castaways are made up of ten teams of two, each with a preexisting relationship. Despite this, it is still an individual game, and it is not compulsory for players to stick with their partner, as they can always turn on them if they see fit.Survivor Philippines 4 Celebrity Doubles Showdown (Opening Credits)
 * Hidden Immunity Idols will return, and no clues will be provided.
 * Temptation Reward: The winning tribe in a Reward Challenge would choose one or two of their own (not necessarily a castaway and his/her partner he/she started the game with) to be the only one/s partaking in the Temptation Reward. After being shown the reward, the chosen one/s were then also presented with the consequence that comes upon accepting the Temptation Reward. Declining from the Temptation Reward is also an option, if those chosen would deem accepting it be too harmful for their strategy. Each episode features a different temptation offer. If players do not chose to take the temptation, it will never be encountered again.
 * The Cursed Idol returns this season, but only appears at post-merge.
 * Tribe switch
 * One World: Starting from the tribe switch, both tribes will live together until they merge.

Castaways

Author's Notes

 * Valparaiso, Indiana was the birthplace of Heather Kuzmich, a contestant from America's Next Top Model, who also has Asperger's Syndrome.
