Survivor: Japan

Survivor: Japan is the sixth season of the 703 ORG (Online Reality Game) Network!

The first season to introduce the Redemption Island twist, Japan was widely followed by viewers, due to its perky and witty cast, blindsides and many players who managed to become favorites. Even with a physically strong cast all-around and many characters, Japan was claimed one of the mid-tier seasons.

39 Days, 18 People, 1 Survivor!!!

Twists

 * Redemption Island - In a drastic game-changing twist, when a player gets voted out from Tribal Council, that player will not be eliminated right away. Instead, the said contestant will go to Redemption Island, where he/she will fend for himself during his/her entire stay. When the next person gets voted out, the two players will compete in a "duel." The winner gets to stay at the island, while the loser is eliminated from the game for good. During "group duels," or duels that have more than two competitors, only one winner stays, sending all the other contestants home. At a certain point, the last person standing on Redemption Island will return to the main game and will continue his/her pursuit of the title of Sole Survivor.
 * Three Starting Tribes - Just like in &, there are going to be three original tribes this season.
 * Hidden Immunity Idol - The person who finishes first in each duel will also get to give a clue to the location of a Hidden Immunity Idol to any person from any tribe that they choose. If a castaway wins a game-returning duel, the castaway could also keep the clue for itself.

Changes
Confessional Chat: Contestants will be able to utilize Confessional Chats via Facebook, as a group chat with the hosts to send their challenge scores, confessionals & votes.

Trivia

 * Japan is the first season to produce an all male final 10.
