Season 13: Palawan

Survivor: Palawan is the thirteenth season of the first round of competition to determine the Ultimate Survivor Champion. The final nine contestants from this season will move on to the next round of competition.

This season consisted of eighteen former castaway returning for their chance to be the Ultimate Survivor Champion. These eighteen were divided into two tribes of nine. The tribes were swapped after four contestants were eliminated, and then the two tribes merged at the Final 12. In the end, the Final 3 faced the jury of nine to determine who would be the winner. Brendan Synnott won against Susie Smith and Rodger Bingham in the final vote.

Brendan Synnott, Christy Smith, Danielle DiLorenzo, Hunter Ellis, Missy Payne, Rodger Bingham, Susie Smith, Trish Dunn, and Tyrone Davis are the nine contestants moving on to the next round.

This season was preceded by Survivor: British Columbia and followed by Survivor: Jordan.
