Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X features twenty castaways divided into two tribes based on their generation, battling through a historic cyclone evacuation and a strategic game defined by trust clusters and significant blindsides.

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