Development[]
Like the previous two seasons, Survivor 43 is a shortened season, spanning only 26 days, due to the COVID-19 pandemic that required all cast and production members to be fully vaccinated. Filming began in May 2022.[4]
Contestants[]
The cast was announced on August 31, 2022, and consists of 18 new players divided into three tribes: Baka, Coco, and Vesi. Among the contestants is Paralympian Noelle Lambert.[5]

The 18 new castaways arrived in Fiji to begin Survivor 43.
Vesi won reward. As Vesi set up their camp, Noelle bonded with Justine, while Cody, Jesse, and Nneka aligned and were wary of Justine’s perceived ability to manipulate. Vesi struggled with starting their fire. Coco chose “sweat” while Baka chose “savvy”, and both were able to complete their tasks in time. The women aligned on Coco and Baka, while Karla and Geo bonded due to both being LGBT+. Karla, Gabler, and Dwight went to the summit, where Karla protected her vote. Gabler’s risk paid off in the form of an idol good for his next two Tribal Councils (which he immediately let the entire tribe know about), while Dwight lost his vote. Cody and Jesse distrusted Dwight’s story upon his return to camp.
Coco and Vesi won the challenge. Gabler, who struggled in the challenge, publicly declared he would take his Shot in the Dark rather than playing his idol. However, Elie didn’t want to vote out Gabler due to his work ethic and tried to talk Jeanine into voting out Morriah, perceiving her as the physically weakest. Morriah brought Sami into her alliance, and they discussed blindsiding Owen. However, at Tribal Council, Morriah was voted out unanimously. | ||||||
624 | 2 | "Lovable Curmudgeon" | 0.7/6[9] | September 28, 2022 | 4.57[9] | |
A heavy storm rolled into Baka's camp soon after Tribal Council, which especially took a toll on Gabler. Sami proposed a guys' alliance with Gabler and Owen while Elie and Jeanine were away from camp. At Coco, Geo and Ryan's friendship strengthened, while Karla found herself in the middle between the girls' alliance with James and her alliance with Geo and Ryan. At Vesi, Jesse and Dwight were likewise in the middle between the pairs of Justine-Noelle and Cody-Nneka.
Baka and Coco won the challenge. Nneka was targeted due to struggling throughout the challenge, but Jesse and Dwight had different ideas of who to align with. Dwight wanted to side with the girls, but Jesse was more wary of Justine. Cody found a beware advantage and opened it, forcing him to retrieve beads from the bags of his willing tribemates to make an idol bracelet or else he'd lose his vote. With Dwight already without a vote, Cody scrambled to earn his vote back, which he was able to do before Tribal Council. Jesse ultimately chose to side with Cody and Nneka to send Justine home after her and Noelle's split vote sealed their alliance's fate. | ||||||
625 | 3 | "I'll Sign The Divorce Papers" | 0.8/7[10] | October 5, 2022 | 5.15[10] | |
Though Dwight’s trust in Jesse lessened, he still hoped to work with him and Noelle. At Baka, Sami informed Gabler that Elie and Jeanine searched his bag for information about his idol, turning Gabler against the women. At Coco, Karla found the same beware advantage Cody found on Vesi and decided to open it after initially leaving it; she was able to barter for the required beads to obtain Coco’s idol bracelet.
Baka and Coco won the challenge. Noelle, James, and Owen were sent to the summit, where Noelle promised loyalty to the men if all three were to make the merge. As such, James and Owen protected their votes, allowing Noelle to earn a steal-a-vote advantage. Cody and Jesse were reluctant to vote out Nneka but acknowledged the need for strength in challenges. At Tribal Council, they sided with Dwight and Noelle to send Nneka home. | ||||||
626 | 4 | "Show No Mercy" | 0.7/6[11] | October 12, 2022 | 5.03[11] | |
Gabler got on his tribemates' nerves at Baka with his overbearing demeanor.
After Vesi's victory, Noelle asked Jeff if they could trade the fish since they didn't have their flint; Jeff agreed to trade them an earlier reward, and they could still partake in the raid. Though Baka had the better fishing kit, Cody sought to weaken the still-intact Coco tribe by taking their machete, which some of his tribemates objected to. Instead, Cody used Coco's machete as leverage to negotiate for multiple food items, causing Karla to think Cody got more than he bargained for.
Vesi placed first, then openly provided oral advice to Baka so they could complete their puzzle before Coco. With their first Tribal Council looming, Geo wanted to vote out Cassidy, while the women's alliance with James decided to vote out Geo. However, Lindsay's paranoia got the better of her as she hounded tribemates on whether or not she was safe, which raised red flags with her allies. At Tribal Council, Geo cast a stray vote against Cassidy, while everyone else united to send Lindsay home. | ||||||
