Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites is the sixteenth season of the CBS reality television series Survivor. Pitting "die-hard" Survivor fans against some of the series' past contestants, this season is the show's third to include contestants from past seasons, after the all-returning contestant pool from Survivor: All-Stars and Survivor: Guatemala in which two contestants from Survivor: Palau returned for a second chance.
Applications were due on July 7, 2007. Around August 2007, 800 applicants were selected for an interview by CBS. Out of these 800, about 48 semi-finalists were selected to go to Los Angeles sometime during September 2007. From these semi-finalists, 10 contestants were selected to participate in the show between late October and mid-December 2007.<ref> Survivor Application

Episode 1: You Guys Are Dumber Than You Look
In a pouring rain, the ten fans arrived on the island unaware that they would be facing past castaways and were shocked when Jeff introduced the favorites. Jeff then pointed to a beach on an island across the way with two boats and told the tribes to swim across. Two individual Immunity Idols were there for the first castaway on each tribe to find them, with the stipulation that they were only good for the first time they went to Tribal Council. Jonny was the first to find the idols tied to the boat's prows, but when Yau-Man noticed that Jonny took the other tribe's idol and raced over to the correct boat, tackling Jonny, and grabbed the correct idol. Kathleen got her tribe's idol after Yau-Man pointed it out to her. Two alliances were formed in the favorites tribe: one between Ami, Eliza, Jonathan, and Yau-Man and another consisting of the couples of James and Parvati and Ozzy and Amanda. Both groups courted Jonny and he played both sides. At the combined Reward and Immunity Challenge, the fans took the lead early and won. After the challenge, Jonny told the tribe that he missed his girlfriend and unborn daughter and that he really wasn't in the game. Feelings were split about whether he was being truthful or if the story was part of his strategy, but in the end he was unanimously voted out 9-1. After the vote, the tribe was given a flint, although Yau-Man had already started a fire using his glasses.
- Reward/Immunity Challenge: The tribes had to assemble four puzzle wheels, attach them to a cart, and push the cart through a series of wooden fences. They then reached a sandpit where they had to dig up a set of planks to make a bridge. The tribes would then push the cart over the bridge to a turnstile. The wheels had to be removed and the pieces reassembled to complete the turnstile. The turnstile raised a fire wok on a pulley which lit the top of a platform.
- Reward: The winning team won Tribal Immunity and a flint.
