Survivor: Distant is the tenth season of BambiTJ93's fanfic version of the reality television series Survivor, which premiered on January 28th, 2011. Read the season here!

The show premiered on January 28th, 2011 at 8pm with a special 90-minute premiere, then returned to its normal hour-long format in the following week.

This season had 20 animals from the Animal Crossing series. This cast has the oldest average cast overall in the series, with the average age being 41.

After Episode 10, due to low ratings and poor success rate, the author confirmed the season cancelled, but it did not bring the end to the series. Episodes 11, 12, 13, and the Finale were all written in summary format. The author has promised to complete the season after final season of the series is written.

Cousteau the frog was named the winner in the final episode on March 27th, 2011, defeating Cyrano the anteater and Limberg the mouse in a 5-4-0 vote. Ace the bird won $100,000 as the "Sprint Player of the Season", narrowly beating out Cousteau and Cyrano.

Limberg is the only representative to return for Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. This season, he was a part of the Villains tribe. He ultimately placed 14th.

Limberg returned yet again for Survivor: Edenia alongside his rival Angry Video Game Nerd from Heroes vs. Villains. He made the jury for the first time, placing 9th.

Survivor: Destiny Isles became first season to include a new Distant returnee other then Limberg; Rizzo the mouse. He didn't go far, though, placing 16th overall.

Cyrano and Freya were voted in by the fans to play the game again in Survivor: Last Chances. Freya was booted in 16th place, while Cyrano finished in 2nd again.

Review

The Season: It was unfinished, and it is considered a low tier season for those reasons alone. While it gave us the diabolical Limberg as a villain, that was it. Limberg was the only reason to read Distant. Aside from his betrayals, the season was completely predictable.

The Winner: Cousteau is not the best winner ever, again in the low tier. However, unlike Curtis, Cousteau was actually likable to the readers. There was good reason to see him beat Limberg in the end, but many thought Cyrano deserved it more then Cousteau, as he played good cop to Limberg.
