When host Jeff Probst is about to talk to Sarah Dawson, she runs up to him and kisses him again, causing the audience to go wild. When Jeff handed Denise Stapley her check for $1 Million, Denise made a reference to Jeff Kent's final words in the episode he was voted out about the prize money only being $600K by the time President Barack Obama takes it. Trivia When asked about Sarah Dawson's second stolen kiss, host Jeff Probst explains that his wife is being "a good sport" about the whole thing. This is the second reunion in which some contestants sat out of order, following Survivor: All-Stars, with Angie Layton and Russell Swan sitting out of order. Survivor: Philippines is the twenty-fifth season of Survivor. It premiered on September 19, 2012, with a 90-minute premiere. The season featured fifteen new players and three returning players who had been medically evacuated in previous seasons. It would ultimately feature one quit for medical reasons, and has to date produced three returning players (Abi-Maria Gomes, Denise Stapley, and Malcolm Freberg) for subsequent seasons. The most significant early-game development was the almost unprecedented futility of the Matsing tribe, which lost the first four straight Immunity Challenges. The only two players to survive the annihilation of Matsing were Denise and Malcolm, both of whom would go on to skillfully navigate the post-merge power struggle between the former Kalabaw and Tandang tribes in order to stave off elimination. Key power players from Kalabaw (including Jeff Kent and Jonathan Penner) and from Tandang (Pete Yurkowski and Abi-Maria) all failed to make the Final Four, which was instead occupied by Malcolm, Denise, and Tandang defectors Michael Skupin and Lisa Whelchel. Denise would ultimately become the Sole Survivor in a 6-1-1 vote over Lisa and Michael. Production In an interview, Jeff Probst revealed that filming of this season wrapped up while Survivor: One World was still airing. Furthermore, the 26th season will also be filmed in the Philippines, where the Survivor Production Team will stay up until August.[2] Probst also said that more than 400 locals were hired during shooting.[3] The Production's Marine Department used 30 boats for water transport, with 15 from the Production Team, and another 15 were boats hired from locals. Twists/Changes Three Tribes: For the first time since Survivor: All-Stars, three tribes will compete starting at the beginning of the season. Also, for the first time since Survivor: Cook Islands, the season starts out with more than two rival tribes. Returning Players: Three returning players are going to return to compete with a new batch of castaways. These returnees are former contestants who were medically evacuated from their respective seasons.[4][5][6] Hidden Immunity Idol: Similar to Survivor: China, the idols will be "hidden" in plain sight, with a clue hidden in the bottom of each tribe's rice. For the first time in Survivor history, three idols would be in play at the same time. There will be three idols, one at each camp. The idol is resting on top of the rice lid, disguised as a handle. Tribe Absorption: On Day 11, the two remaining members of the Matsing tribe were absorbed in to the other two tribes. Merge at 11: For the first time in Survivor history, the merge commenced with eleven players remaining, unlike the usual 10 or 12. New Jury/Final Few Composition: This season is the first time to feature a Final Three with an eight-person jury. Season Summary The fifteen new castaways were split into three tribes and then introduced to their final tribe members, three returning castaways that had been medically evacuated from their previous seasons: Michael Skupin was assigned to Tandang, Jonathan Penner to Kalabaw, and Russell Swan to Matsing. Matsing lost the first four Immunity Challenges, leaving only Malcolm Freberg, who had the tribe's Hidden Immunity Idol, and Denise Stapley, his closest ally since the start of the game. After Matsing's dissolution, Malcolm was sent to Tandang and Denise to Kalabaw. Malcolm quickly integrated himself with Tandang's dominant alliance, led by Pete Yurkowski, while Denise aligned with an alliance led by Jeff Kent at Kalabaw, strained by Jeff's desire to eliminate returning players. Jonathan had found Kalabaw's Hidden Immunity Idol, using it as leverage to align with Jeff, while...
