Survivor: Cagayan — Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty is the 28th season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor . Cagayan was the fourth consecutive season to be filmed in the Philippines. This season features the return of a special hidden immunity idol that can be used at Tribal Council after the votes have been read (similar to Survivor: Panama and Survivor: Cook Islands ), which was hidden once the tribes merged, except this idol came without a clue. This is in addition to hidden immunity idols that must be played after the votes are cast but before they are read. The cast was composed of 18 new players, initially split into three tribes containing six members each: Aparri ("Brawn"), Luzon ("Brains"), and Solana ("Beauty"). The tribe of Luzon is named after the island in the Philippines, while Aparri and Solana are named after towns in Cagayan. The cast included former professional basketball player Cliff Robinson, professional poker player Garrett Adelstein, and David Samson, president of Major League Baseball's Miami Marlins. After the show, Sarah Lacina and Tony Vlachos, both cops, gained notoriety as Survivor contestants.
