Season chronology

Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X is the 33rd season of the American competitive reality television series Survivor. It was broadcast by CBS between September 21 and December 14, 2016. The season was filmed between April 4 and May 12, 2016 in the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji. Severe Tropical Cyclone Zena struck the filming location during the game, so the entire cast were temporarily evacuated for the first time in the show's history. It originally divided its 20 contestants into two tribes of ten based on their Generation – "Takali" (Generation X) "Vanua" (Millennials). On day 13, the contestants were redivided, introducing a third tribe, "Ikabula". On day 21, the contestants merged into one tribe, "Vinaka". Two gameplay mechanics were introduced to the show in this season: The Legacy Advantage (that provided immunity from being voted out at the day 36 Tribal Council) and the Reward Steal Advantage (allowing a player to take another player's place on a reward).

After 39 days, Adam Klein won the title of Sole Survivor and the US$1,000,000 prize, receiving all ten jury votes against fellow finalists Ken McNickle and Hannah Shapiro. Though the theme was criticized, the season received generally positive reviews for the cast and gameplay.
