Season 16 returns to the Republic of Palau
in the Southwest Pacific's Micronesia. This
time featuring 10 favorites from past sea-
sons against 10 'super-fans'! 

We also will see the return of 'Exile Island',
more hidden idols, and the largest Tribal
Council area ever built!  There will also be
two double-blind elimination votes.

Will bigger be better?  How will the old pros
interact with the know-it-all upstarts?  All
these questions and more will be answered
in the upcoming weeks!
