39 Days

7 Jury

Set in the Pacific nation of Palau, this tenth season of the series features 20 castaways and is notable for being the only season in the show's history where one tribe completely decimated the other, resulting in no traditional merge.

Day one split the cast into two tribes: Koror and Ulong. Everyone here was new to the game, and three of them would go on to play again.
