About Courtney Yates
- Survivor is an American reality television show, based on the Swedish program, Expedition Robinson.
- Contestants are referred to as "castaways", and they compete against one another to become the "Sole Survivor" and win one million U.S.
- dollars.
- First airing in 2000, there currently have been a total of 38 seasons aired; the program itself has been filmed on five different continents. Contestants usually apply to be on the show, but the series has been known to recruit contestants for various seasons.
- For Survivor: Fiji, the producers had hoped to have a more racially diverse cast, and hoped that a more diverse group would apply after the success of the racially segregated Survivor: Cook Islands.
- When this did not happen, the producers turned to recruiting and in the end, only one contestant had actually submitted an application to be on the show.
- For the most part, contestants are virtually unknown prior to their Survivor appearance, but occasionally some well-known people are cast. A total of 570 participants (castaways) have competed so far (as of Survivor: Edge of Extinction).
- 95 of those participants have competed in multiple seasons: 70 of them competed in two different seasons, 21 of those seventy have competed in three different seasons, and only four have competed in four different seasons of the show.
- Twelve seasons have featured returning players: four with all-returnees (Survivor: All-Stars in 2004, Survivor: Heroes vs.
- Villains in 2010, Survivor: Cambodia in 2015, and Survivor: Game Changers in 2017), five with two to four returning players on tribes with new players (Survivor: Guatemala in 2005, Survivor: Redemption Island and Survivor: South Pacific in 2011, Survivor: Philippines in 2012 and Survivor: Edge of Extinction in 2019), two with a tribe of ten returning "Favorites" facing off against a tribe of ten "Fans" (Survivor: Micronesia in 2008 and Survivor: Caramoan in 2013), and one featuring a tribe of ten returning players playing against a tribe of their family members (Survivor: Blood vs.
- Water in 2013). On two occasions, contestants have been cast but ultimately withdrew before the game began: a 20th contestant, model agency owner Mellisa McNulty was originally cast in Survivor: Fiji, but dropped out and returned home the night before the show began because of panic attacks, while in Survivor: San Juan del Sur, the 19th and 20th contestants, sisters So and Doo Kim, were removed just before filming due to a medical emergency.
- In both cases, the removed contestants were unreplaced.
- Fiji and San Juan del Sur proceeded with an uneven gender balance.
- This occurrence made the show's fourteenth season, Fiji, the only season in the history of the show to start with an odd number of players.
