Survivor Fan Characters 8: The Midway Island (SFC8) is the eighth season of Survivor Fan Characters.

This season was filmed in the Moala Islands in Fiji, and features sixteen castaways divided into two tribes of eight. The season premiered on April 14, 2011 and concluded on September 4, 2011. It ended with Melanie Aensland receiving the title of Sole Survivor in a 5-2-0 vote against Heinz Keller and Matt Thorndark.

Twists/Changes

• Midway Island: Located at the northern tip of the Moala Islands, the Midway Island serves as a neutral spot where castaways from both tribes can mingle with each other. It also provides two major game-changing twists.
  • Mutiny: Before the merge, the Midway Island is where a contestant can mutiny from one tribe to another, as many times as they want, but only before an Immunity Challenge takes place.
  • Nullifier: After the merge, the Midway Island allows contestants to nullify one person's ability to vote at Tribal Council for that round, but each contestant could only do this once.
• Hidden Immunity Idol: This season, there was a Hidden Immunity Idol located somewhere on the Midway Island.
• Delayed Merge: This season, the tribes did not merge until there were only nine people left in the game.
• Outcasts Twist: On Day 25, as a consequence of Matt Thorndark obtaining the post-merge Hidden Immunity Idol, the nine remaining castaways all had to vote one of the first seven eliminated castaways back into the game.
• Final Three: This season, three finalists face a jury of seven at the Final Tribal Council, as opposed to two.
