[Day 1// Welcome to the Game]

[Sandy]

Come on in, guys! 2014 is here and we have our first batch of noobies, welcome!


     
       

Ready to see who you're up against?

Let's bring out the Favorites!



     
     

 This season we are paying homage to one of the greatest warrior groups, bushi, more commonly known as the Samurai.



The Samurai were a group of noble Japanese warriors famed for their strategy in combat and intelligence, which in turn resulted in their own government and way of life. However, Samurai were also known for acts of disloyalty and treachery, and as with iSurv1vor, you will constantly balance this duality to try and make it to the end. What will ultimately determine which one of you is the best warrior are the decisions you'll be faced with through the course of these next 39 days, and how you choose to overcome them. 

Now, time to find out what tribe you're on...

Five years ago during the first installment of Fans vs Favorites; we put eleven Fans on one tribe, eleven Favorites on another tribe. It's 2014 and that old layout is just too easy.

This Fans vs Favorites season there will be four tribes...
Consisting of six castaways...
3 Fans on a tribe...
3 Favorites on a tribe...
