Survivor: South Pacific is the twenty-third season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor. The season was filmed from May 30 through July 7, 2011 and premiered on September 14, 2011. Applications were due in January 11, 2011, approximately 800 applicants visited in various states, from there 16 contestants were chosen as participants. The two original tribes were Savaii and Upolu (both named from Savai'i and Upolu, two main islands of the independent nation of Samoa), and the merged tribe into Te Tuna (given from a Samoan legend about the origins of the coconut tree).
Samoa was not initially selected as a location for this season, as the show had already filmed two seasons (Samoa and Heroes vs. Villains) in the area. The production team withdrew from their original locale, Tonga, due to economic problems. The season was filmed in the vicinity of Upolu and it served as the location for the next season.Redemption Island, first introduced in the prior season, returned for this season.
Sophie Clarke was named the winner in the final episode on December 18, 2011, defeating Benjamin "Coach" Wade and Albert Destrade in a 6–3–0 vote.Ozzy Lusth won $100,000 as the "Sprint Player of the Season", winning this honor by the largest margin since the award's inception in Survivor: China, and earning the fans' vote over John Cochran.
The complete season was released on DVD on September 8, 2015, via Amazon.com's CreateSpace program.
