How does Survivor generate a fandom?

Hi everyone!! I am currently conducting a research study about how the US series of Survivor generates a fandom. If any of you have 10 minutes, I know this sub will provide a diverse amount of responses. I am targeting how Survivor, specifically in the new era, manufactures events specifically for the purpose of fan engagement. Any age can take it as long as you’ve seen the show (duh) and it is completely anonymous and will never be traced back to you.

Thank you to anyone who participates :) feel free to discuss.
