Survivor: Tarutao

 is the fourth season of my Survivor fanon series.

Twists

 * One World: Both tribes will live at the same beach.
 * Battle of the sexes: Jarakay is the all-men tribe, while Naak is the all-female tribe.
 * Tribe Switch: The tribe switch will occur at the most unexpected time. Never been seen in US Survivor.
 * Mystery Box: On Day 1, the castaways, not yet divided into tribes, will have an unexpected individual Immunity Challenge. The first male and the first female to reach the finish line at shore will be immune at their first trip to Tribal Council. Along with immunity, they will be given a mystery box which will come into play before the first Immunity Challenge.
 * Hidden Immunity Idols: How will these not be in my fanon? No clues will be given!
 * Jury of "Nine": Similar to Survivor: Micronesia, a final two will face a jury of eight. But, you guys will give the ninth Jury vote in the form of the fan favorite award. The contestant that gets the most votes after my allotted voting period will have the ninth Jury vote.

Author's Notes

 * This fanon is inspired from the very first season of Survivor Philippines. It was filmed in Ko Tarutao, the same filming location as the US version's Survivor: Thailand.
 * While the US version airs episodes only once a week, Survivor Philippines airs from Monday to Friday, with the 3-day cycle divided into five 45-minute episodes. In our first season, the final Tribal Council aired on a Thursday. After the jury (comprised of 8 members) voted, the host took the voting urn and announced that the viewing public will be the ninth jury vote. After the episode aired, an overnight SMS voting poll was opened. Given that our version is aired five times a week, the fans have a clearer idea about the castaways. The live finale occurred the next day (Friday), where the jury votes, including the results of the overnight poll were revealed. Only the final two were eligible for the fan favorite. Whoever got more votes will earn one jury vote. If the 8-person jury happened to split their votes 4-4, the fan favorite vote would have been the deciding vote.
