"I think the fans versus favorites setup is the ultimate challenge because we have the favorites who have obviously played the game before, coming in here with experience. But at the same time you have us (the fans) and we know their game. We know not only their strengths but weaknesses too. So I think that puts us at a huge advantage."

To this day, I have only seen a handful of Survivor Episodes. If you have seen one, you have seen them all! I feel Alexis has a good point. The fans are at an advantage over the favorites due to the fans learned all their habits and methods of playing the game. The media has established "Triggers" in the fan population, in a sense, making them watch Survivor religiously. Any time a message appears about the show, the fan immediately focuses on the message, no matter how insignificant it really is.
In the end , the fans have a lead over the favorites, but who's to say they wont change their game plan for this season. It will be exciting to see how this competition plays out for the participants and also the spectators.
