Season 9: Tahiti

Survivor: Tahiti is the ninth season of the first round of competition to find the Ultimate Survivor Champion. The last nine castaways left standing this season will move on to the next round of Survivor competition.

This season featured eighteen former contestants returning for their chance to be the Ultimate Survivor Champion. They were divided into two tribes of nine and remained on those tribes until the merge at the Final 12. The Final 3 faced a jury of the nine most recently voted out castaways, resulting in Kelly Wiglesworth winning over Helen Glover and Cristina Coria.

Cristina Coria, Helen Glover, Jaison Robinson, Jill Behm, Kelly Wiglesworth, L.J. McKanas, Shawn Cohen, Sydney Wheeler, and Todd Herzog were the nine castaways moving on to the next round of competition.

This season was preceded by Survivor: Curacao, and followed by Survivor: Costa Rica.
