Fans vs. Canons is a twist that debuted in the titular season, Survivor Fan Characters 4: Fans vs. Canons, and later returned in Survivor Fan Characters 12: Fans vs. Canons.
About[]
The twist features fan characters competing against a rival canon character from the opposing tribe. Typically, both characters share a pre-existing relationship that can either be beneficial, or a hinderance. How either character allows the twist to affect their game is up to them. They can choose to put aside their differences and work together, or they may choose to alienate themselves from each other.
Neither the fan, nor canon characters are told beforehand who they will be competing against, thus their reactions upon meeting each other for the first time is genuine.
