Survivor: Kaôh Rōng

Survivor: Kaôh Rōng — Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty is the 32nd season of the American competitive reality television series Survivor. It was originally broadcast by CBS between February 17 and May 18, 2016. The season featured 18 new contestants divided into three tribes based on their personal attributes; with "Chan Loh", "Gondol", and "To Tang" representing "Brain", "Beauty", and "Brawn", respectively. It is the second season of Survivor to divide their starting tribes this way, following Survivor: Cagayan. The contestants were redivided between only "Chan Loh" and "Gondol" on day 12. On day 17, they merged into a single tribe, "Dara", for the remainder of the game. Filming took place on the island of Koh Rong in Cambodia between March 30 and May 7, 2015. It was filmed before season 31, Survivor: Cambodia, though aired after, with both seasons filmed back-to-back in the same location. Survivor: Kaôh Rōng introduced two new game mechanics to the show: a feature whereby two hidden immunity idols could be combined into one single idol that could be played after the votes were read, and the power to remove a member of the jury, given to the finalist who won the final reward challenge.

After 39 days, Michele Fitzgerald was named the Sole Survivor over fellow finalists Aubry Bracco and Tai Trang in a jury vote of 5–2–0, thus winning the US$1,000,000 prize. The season received positive critical reception, with many praising its unpredictability and strong finalists. It also performed well in ratings, as it became the highest rated unscripted program among adults in all demographics.
