Survivor: Redemption Island is the twenty-second season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor, which premiered on February 16, 2011. Applications were due in January 2010, and filming lasted from August to September 2010. The season was filmed in the vicinity of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, the same place where the previous season was filmed. The show features returning players Russell Hantz and Rob Mariano, and 16 new players to Survivor.
The 22nd season of Survivor introduces a new concept, "Redemption Island", to the United States series based in part to the "Outcast" tribe from Survivor: Pearl Islands, and already used in foreign versions of the show, as The Island of the Dead in the Israeli version, Isla Purgatoryo in the Philippine version's second season, Ghost Island in the Serbian version's second season, and the duels in the 2002 Swedish edition. When a contestant is voted off their tribe, instead of leaving the game, they are taken to the area known as Redemption Island. There, they will have to sustain themselves in the same manner as when they were with their tribe, living on limited food and water supplies and shelter. When the next contestant is voted off, they are also sent to Redemption Island, and the two people will face off in a duel challenge; the challenge is watched by two members each from both tribes in an Arena constructed as an old ruined temple. The winner remains in the game, living at Redemption Island, while the loser is finally removed from the game and must remove their buff and throw it in a small fire pit upon exiting. At pre-determined points in the game, the person at Redemption Island will have a chance to return to the game and be reunited with the remaining players in the game.
Host Jeff Probst compared Redemption Island to the Pearl Islands's Outcast tribe, stating that the latter concept did not seem to work well with the audience because the Outcast twist was not revealed to the players ahead of time, and was considered unfair to the remaining players in the game. However, the Outcast tribe survived on the same meager rations as everybody else in the game. With Redemption Island, the players will be told at the start of the game of the existence and rules of Redemption Island, and Probst will expect this to have an impact on how the tribes will vote out members. Probst also stated that the change allows for the newer players a chance to recover from early mistakes such as choosing the wrong alliance or making a poor vote at Tribal Council. Entertainment Weekly's Dalton Ross speculates that due to the Redemption Island duel as part of each episode, all regular challenges in the show will be combined Reward/Immunity challenges until the tribes have been merged. The duels used at Redemption Island are scaled-back versions of previous challenges that the show has used; Probst stated this was because these challenges "worked well" and eliminated any risk of the challenge going astray. The idea for allowing other players to watch the duel was a last-minute addition made by Mark Burnett; according to Probst, it gives those that attend the duel "valuable information" they can use in their gameplay strategy, but may leave them vulnerable to alliance shifts that could occur while they were absent from the tribe.
