Season 8: Curacao

Survivor: Curacao is the eighth season of the first round of competition to find the Ultimate Survivor Champion. The last nine castaway will move on to the next round of competition.

This season featured twenty former contestants into two tribes of ten, initially divided by gender. However, because there were more women than men, one women had to volunteer to join the other tribe of men. Corinne Kaplan stepped forward to move tribes. After three people were voted out, the tribes were swapped. Because of the odd number of contestants remaining, the last person chosen was automatically eliminated from the show. The tribes merged at the Final 11. The Final 3 faced the jury of 8 to find the winner, with Chad Crittenden claiming victory over Ruth Marie Milliman and Corinne Kaplan.

Chad Crittenden, Corinne Kaplan, Erik Huffman, Jenna Morasca, Kass McQuillen, Liz Kim, Nadiya Anderson, Ruth Marie MIlliman, and Spencer Duhm are the nine contestants moving on to the next round of competition.

This season was preceded by Survivor: Sumatra, and followed by Survivor: Tahiti.
