Survivor: San Juan del Sur, also known as Survivor: San Juan del Sur — Blood vs. Water, is the 29th season of Survivor. This season revived the format of Survivor: Blood vs. Water, in which pairs of loved ones were split to create the initial tribes. However, San Juan del Sur departed from the precedent set by Blood vs. Water in one respect, as it featured only new contestants. The season saw one quit and has to date produced three returning players for subsequent seasons.
