Survivor: Micronesia — Fans vs. Favorites is the sixteenth season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor, being the show's third to include contestants from past seasons, after the all-returning contestant pool from Survivor: All-Stars, and Survivor: Guatemala in which two contestants from Survivor: Palau returned for a second chance. Host Jeff Probst has declared this as his second favorite season of all time.
Applications were due on July 7, 2007. Around August 2007, 800 applicants were selected for an interview by CBS. Out of these 800, about 48 semi-finalists were selected to go to Los Angeles in September 2007. From these semi-finalists, 10 contestants were selected to participate in the show between late October and mid-December 2007.[2] The full cast of 20 contestants was revealed on January 3, 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. Host Jeff Probst revealed that a list of 20 favorites was put together (enough for an entire game) and then 10 of them were cut. Others included for consideration were Shane Powers (of Survivor: Panama), Yul Kwon (of Survivor: Cook Islands), Terry Deitz (of Survivor: Panama), Tom Westman (of Survivor: Palau), and Courtney Yates (of Survivor: China), though Probst confirmed that Westman and Yates declined the opportunity. Pearl Islands winner Sandra Diaz-Twine, who initially declined to be on Survivor: All-Stars, participated in initial casting for Micronesia but was one of those cut at the last minute. The contestants were split into two tribes, fans and favorites, named Airai and Malakal respectively. Both tribes were named after locations in Palau.
The season was filmed in Palau, marking the second time Survivor has filmed there (the first being 2005). The filming locations for this season were the same as those used in Survivor: Palau (Airai lived in the former Koror camp and Malakal lived in the former Ulong camp). Exile Island returned this season after being absent from Survivor: China, with a new twist of one castaway from each tribe being sent to Exile Island where they had to compete to find the hidden immunity idol.
For the first time since Survivor: Panama, the final Tribal Council featured a Final Two rather than a Final Three. This was also the first and currently only season to have an even numbered jury, with this season having eight jury members, rather than the traditional seven or nine in past seasons. In the end, Parvati Shallow defeated Amanda Kimmel by a vote of 5–3 to become the Sole Survivor. On the reunion show, it was revealed that James Clement, for the second consecutive season, was the viewer's choice of favorite contestant, winning US$100,000. Amanda Kimmel and Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth received the next highest number of votes.
Parvati Shallow, Amanda Kimmel, Cirie Fields, and James Clement would return to Survivor for a third time in the show's 20th season, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. Kimmel, Fields, and Clement were placed on the Heroes tribe, while Shallow was placed on the Villains' tribe. Fields placed 17th, Clement placed 14th, Kimmel placed 9th, and Shallow finished second to the winner Sandra Diaz-Twine. Also Tom Westman and Courtney Yates, who both declined to play in Fans vs Favorites, participated in Heroes vs Villains. Westman placed 15th place and Yates placed 11th place.
Probst stated that the Tribal Council in which Erik was eliminated was his favorite of all the seasons. He also said Palau was his favorite filming location.

Survivor is an American version of the Survivor reality television game show, itself derived from the Swedish television series Expedition Robinson originally created in 1997 by Charlie Parsons. The series premiered on May 31, 2000 on CBS. It is hosted by veteran television personality, reporter and one-time game show emcee Jeff Probst, who is also an executive producer, and also executive produced by Mark Burnett and original creator Charlie Parsons.
The show maroons a group of strangers (as one or more tribes) in a desolate locale, where they must provide food, water, fire, and shelter for themselves, while competing in challenges to earn either a reward, or an immunity from expulsion from the game in the next of the successive votes for elimination. While much rarer than elimination by vote, medical conditions, such as injury or infection, have eliminated several contestants. The last two or three survivors face a jury composed of the last seven, eight, or nine players voted off. That jury interrogates the final few, and then votes for the winner of the game, the title of Sole Survivor and a million dollar prize.
