“Survivor: Philippines” is the 25th season of the reality television series Survivor. It premiered on September 14, 2012, and was filmed in the Philippines. This season introduced a unique twist by featuring three tribes instead of the usual two, with returning players and new contestants competing for the title of Sole Survivor. The season is notable for its diverse cast, including Michael Skupin, who returned after competing in the second season, and Lisa Whelchel, a former child star. The competition involved various challenges, strategic gameplay, and social dynamics, culminating in a final tribal council where the winner was determined.
