Synopsis
Former NBA player Cliff Robinson and president of the Miami Marlins David Samson are among the 18 new contestants who are split into three tribes based on their primary attributes: Aparri (Brawn), Luzon (Brains) and Solana (Beauty), each named for a municipality on the Filipino island in which the season was filmed. Audiences quickly learn that "not only does being 'book smart' not matter in the jungle, but having looks and being buff actually do help" (HollywoodLife.com). "Survivor: Cagayan" introduced the grueling Draggin' the Dragon challenge, as well as the return of the hidden immunity idol element, albeit with a new caveat -- it is to be used after the votes have been read and can be only used by its finder.
