Survivor: Panama was the forty-forth season of Survivor. 

The season ended when Bryan won the title of Sole Survivor, beating Peter and Toni by a (4)5-4-0 jury vote at the Final Tribal Council. The season featured 18 contestants dubbed as "castaways" marooned on two separate beaches in Panama. They were divided into two tribes: Viveros in neon green and Bayoneta in neon blue. The tribes were named for Panamanian islands. On Day 30, the tribes merged into the black Salvacion tribe, which means "salvation" in Spanish. 

The hidden idol immunity was featured this season. Four were hidden; two for each original tribe. 

The main twist this season was the seven person merge, first seen in the first ever season of Survivor. The twist was completely unexpected and created excessive strains on tribal dynamics. It ultimatley received mixed reviews. The twist never returned, but a more severe version appeared in Survivor: Japan.

For the first time since Survivor: Seychelles, the jury cast a tied vote. Unlike Seychelles, however, the vote was considered "breakable." Camden, who cast the sole vote for Toni, revoted live at the finale for either Peter or Bryan. He ended up casting his vote for Bryan, giving him the title of Sole Survivor. This event would happen again in Survivor: Sri Lanka and Survivor: East Timor.

• At the finale, the votes came out to a tie (4 votes for Peter, 4 votes for Bryan). Unlike the unbreakable tie in Seychelles, the producers organized a live revote for the one vote cast for Toni. Camden, the juror who cast Toni's vote, voted live for Bryan. This event would occur again in Sri Lanka and East Timor.
