Survivor: Nikumaroro

Survivor: Nikumaroro - The 39 Day Experience is the fifth season in Wafflefreak's fanon series. This is Wafflefreak's first season to air in real-time as the game unfolds, with all 39 days of the game posted day-by-day in continuation.

The theme of this season is based around the disappearance of aviation icon, Amelia Earhart, and her navigator, Fred Noonan. One of many theories suggest they may have crashed landed on, or near, Nikumaroro, in an attempt to not avoid drowning. This season is in dedication to them.

Twists

Further twists will be announced episodes air to avoid spoilers.

Author's Notes

 * This season Wafflefreak did 'The five days of hints for Season 5', a secret mission for the users of the wikia to unlock season details in advance. Upon the Season 5 announcement post receiving five comments, the mission was earned. For five days in a row clues were going to be announced as to what the season would be. If anyone was able to figure out the clues within 24 hours of the fifth and final one, season information would leak early. The hints were as followed:
 * June 14, 2017 (Day One) - A black and white photograph of an unknown man is posted with no context. This man was Fred Noonan, Amelia Earhart's navigator at the time of the disappearance.
 * June 15, 2017 (Day Two) - A black and white picture was posted of an old airplane, with the title caption '37'. The picture was of Amelia Earhart's plane at the time of her disappearance, and 1937 was the year of her disappearance.
 * June 16, 2017 (Day Three) - A black and white picture is posted of two women wearing clothes from the 1930's era. The title caption was '157 337', while the text caption read, 'Eleanor Roosevelt 1933'. The picture was of Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart, who ditched a White House dinner and went for a joyride in a plane together in 1933. Meanwhile, 'We are on the line 153 337', was one of Amelia's final radio broadcasts received.
 * June 17, 2017 (Day Four) - A satellite photo is posted of an island. The title caption read '640 (400)', while the text caption read, 'km(mi)'. The picture is of Nikumaroro, which is 640 Km (400 Mi) southeast of Amelia's intended destination.
 * On June 27, 2017, the fourth of five days, JTS618 figured out the clues and unlocked an early season page reveal.
