| - The premiere of this season of Survivor aired on September 15, 2005. The two-hour season finale aired on December 11, 2005, followed by the reunion show. Despite this season being set in Fiji, the twists were completely different to those of the real season set in Fiji, and was a back-to-basics season. There were no idols, tribal switches or Exile Island in play this season, sticking to the theme of the season. The tribes were Moto (wearing green) and Ravu (wearing orange). Both of these names were named after the Fijian words for 'rich' and 'poor', which was the original twist for this season. The final nine members merged into the Bula Bula tribe (wearing purple). Host Jeff Probst, has stated that this season was a trial-run for future seasons, to see if timing schedules would work for future seasons, and that is the reason for no game-changing twists. The winner of the season was 30 year-old Gordon Mackenzie, from Madison, Wisconsin, who defeated Henry Wilkins in the final, by a vote of 6-1. Claudia Leehy won $100,000 as the "Sprint Player of the Season" beating out Jack Blackburn by a voting margin of 9.8%.
