, is the pilot season of Survivor Juan World.

Development
Applications were opened from May 15 to May 21, 2016. Accepted applicants were interviewed from May 22 to 24, 2016. The eighteen castaways to play the game was finalized on May 25, 2016. The "filming" date commenced on May 27, 2016, and ended on July 6, 2016.

Twists/Changes

 * Schoolyard pick and Third tribe twist: The castaways start the game on Day one by electing a leader for the whole group. On Day two, the elected leader gets to choose the leader for the other tribe. The two tribe leaders then choose a person who would join their tribe, with the person they selected choosing the next and so on. Once the two tribes have six members each, the remaining six unpicked castaways form a third tribe.
 * Auxiliary tribe: A fourth tribe was introduced, and on the tribal switch the castaways are split into four tribes of four.
 * One-time Exile: During the second tribe switch, twelve castaways were assigned to either Lugus or Siasi through a schoolyard pick, leaving one person without a tribe. That person would be sent to the former Tapul camp, where they would be ineligible for the next vote, and would join the losing tribe at the next Reward Challenge. In addition to this, the unpicked person has the power to stay tribeless or to choose a tribe on which he/she wants to belong to, with the chosen tribe voting for someone from their tribe to replace the unpicked castaway.
 * Extra Vote: A castaway would get the right to vote twice at the same Tribal Council. The intention of using the second vote should be voiced immediately after all the votes are cast and it is valid until the final six. It is at the voter's discretion whether he would throw this vote away, vote the same person twice, or vote another potential threat.
 * Vote Steal:  A castaway would get the right to vote twice at the same Tribal Council, but this time while also preventing another player of their choice to vote.

Trivia

 * The font used this season is Dark Crystal.
 * The tribe names were derived from the four southernmost islands of Sulu province: Lugus, Tapul, Siasi, and Pandami.
 * The logo pulled inspiration from different Sulu symbols like the crescent moon and stars, vintas, the Sulu municipal hall, a portrait inspired from HRH Sultan Mohammad Jamalul Alam, and Tausug fabric patterns. Some patterns were also derived from the front page design of Joloano Moro, a book about the Sulu language.
