В составе участников 16 новых игроков, изначально разделенных на два племени по половому признаку: полностью женское племя Джабуру (названное в честь местного аиста) и полностью мужское племя Тамбаки (местная рыба). В конечном итоге они были объединены в племя Жакаре (португальское слово для "аллигатор"), когда осталось десять участников. Кристи Смит стала первой участницей реалити-шоу с инвалидностью в целом и первой, кто принял участие в любом сезоне Survivor.
The cast is composed of 16 new players initially divided into two tribes by gender: the all female Jaburu (named for a native stork) and the all male Tambaqui (a native fish). They were eventually merged into the Jacaré (Portuguese for "alligator") tribe when ten contestants remained. Christy Smith became the first reality show contestant with a disability overall, and as well to compete in any edition of Survivor. +List of Survivor: The Amazon contestantsContestantAgeFrom TribeFinish Original Switched Merged Placement Day 23 Ellicott City,Maryland 1st voted out Day 3 46 Manchester,Missouri 2nd voted out Day 6 26 Houston,Texas 3rd voted out Day 9 31 Orangeburg,South Carolina rowspan=3 4th voted out Day 12 40 North Attleborough,Massachusetts 5th voted out Day 15 23 Los Angeles,California 6th voted out Day 18 56 Valencia,California rowspan=2 rowspan=2 rowspan=10 7th voted out Day 21 23 Pasadena,California 8th voted out1st jury member Day 24 35 Riverside,California rowspan=2 9th voted out2nd jury member Day 27 32 Los Angeles,California 10th voted out3rd jury member Day 30 24 Basalt,Colorado rowspan=2 rowspan=3 11th voted out4th jury member Day 33 24 Jefferson City,Missouri 12th voted out5th jury member Day 36 50 Olney,Illinois rowspan=3 13th voted out6th jury member Day 37 24 Wantagh,New York rowspan=3 14th voted out7th jury member Day 38 33 Washington,D.

Итоги сезона
Сезон начался с того, что участники впервые были разделены на племена, разделенные по полу. Мужское племя Тамбаки, одетое в синий цвет, быстро приспособилось к жизни в лагере, построило укрытие, и союзы были быстро сформированы. Женское племя Джабуру, одетое в желтый цвет, столкнулось с разногласиями внутри своего племени и провело почти всю первую неделю без укрытия. На Тамбаки был сформирован альянс из четырех человек во главе с Роджером, в который вошли Буч, Алекс и Дэйв. Однако Роб быстро стал арбитром между союзом Роджера и изгоями племени, укрепляя преданность обеим сторонам. На Джабуру молодые женщины, Хайди, Дженна и Шона быстро начали объединяться, привлекая Дину и Кристи, чтобы контролировать голосование в племени Джабуру. На 13-й день Дэйв и Дженна отправились в изолированное место, чтобы выступить в качестве послов племени. Дженна дала Дэйву важную информацию о Джабуру, что дало ему преимущество, когда на следующий день они были вынуждены выбрать новые племена, равномерно распределив мужчин и женщин. Роб, Мэтью и Алекс были отправлены в Джабуру, а Хайди, Жанна и Кристи – в Тамбаки. В Тамбаки Хайди решила объединиться с мужчинами, чтобы проголосовать против Жанны. В Джабуру мужчины и женщины объединили усилия, чтобы проголосовать против ненадёжной Шоуны. Дина и Роб создали союз, и когда произошло слияние, они объединились с Алексом, Мэтью и остальными женщинами. После слияния союз Дины и Роба контролировал голоса против сексиста Роджера и физической и ментальной угрозы Дэйва, оставив Буча последним игроком вне их альянса. Убедившись, что она контролирует игру, Дина решила пощадить Буча, чтобы исключить Алекса как социальную и физическую угрозу. Женщины быстро сообщили Алексу о предательстве Дины, и он смог убедить Хайди, Дженну и мужчин устранить Дину на следующем Совете племени. После устранения Дины Алекс был уверен, что он надёжно входит в альянс из четырех человек с Дженной, Хайди и Робом. Однако он рассказал Робу, что его план – исключить его в финальной четверке, чтобы избежать ничьей с Хайди и Дженной. Роб использовал эту информацию, чтобы сформировать контр-альянс с Мэтью, Бучем и Кристи, и они проголосовали против Алекса. С тремя мужчинами и тремя женщинами, оставшимися в игре, Кристи стала решающим голосом, но была исключена после того, как не смогла определиться со своей стороной. На следующем Совете племени мужчины сплотились и проголосовали против Хайди, которую считали более физически сильной из двух оставшихся женщин. В финальной четверке Дженна, последняя оставшаяся женщина, выиграла иммунитет, заставив мужчин преждевременно пойти друг против друга. Столкнувшись с выбором – отомстить Алексу и Хайди, проголосовав против Роба, или избавиться от недостойного Буча, она в конечном итоге встала на сторону Мэтью и Роба, чтобы проголосовать против Буча. Дженна продолжила свою победную серию и снова выиграла иммунитет, получив единственный голос на следующем Совете племени, где она проголосовала против Роба из-за его сильной стратегической игры. Столкнувшись с жюри, Мэтью был похвален за свои навыки выживания и трудолюбие, но подвергся критике за лицемерие и отсутствие стратегической игры на протяжении большей части игры. С другой стороны, Дженну критиковали за её нежелание работать и даже за то, что она хотела сдаться за несколько дней до этого. Однако, благодаря лучшим отношениям с членами жюри и тому, что её считали более стратегически играющей с самого начала, Дженна была признана единственной выжившей в результате голосования 6–1.
The season began with the contestants divided into tribes split by gender for the first time. The men's tribe, Tambaqui, wearing blue, was quick to get their camp life squared away, building shelter, and alliances were quickly formed. The women's tribe, Jaburu, wearing yellow, experienced quarreling within their tribe, and spent almost the entire first week without a shelter. On Tambaqui, an alliance of four was formed, led by Roger, which included Butch, Alex, and Dave. However, Rob quickly emerged as an arbiter between Roger's alliance and the outliers of the tribe, solidifying allegiances with both. On Jaburu, the younger women, Heidi, Jenna, and Shawna quickly began to coalesce, pulling in Deena and Christy to control the voting on Jaburu. On Day 13, Dave and Jenna traveled to an isolated location to act as tribal ambassadors. Jenna gave Dave crucial information about Jaburu, giving Dave an advantage when, the next day, they were forced to choose new tribes, equally distributing the men and the women. Rob, Matthew and Alex were sent to Jaburu while Heidi, Jeanne and Christy were sent to Tambaqui. At Tambaqui, Heidi decided to align with the men to vote off Jeanne. At Jaburu, the men and women joined forces to vote off an untrustworthy Shawna. Deena and Rob created an alliance and when the merge occurred, they aligned with Alex, Matthew and the rest of the women. At the merge, Deena and Rob's alliance controlled the votes against sexist Roger and physical and mental threat Dave. leaving Butch as the last player remaining outside of Rob and Deena's alliance. Convinced she had control over the game, Deena decided to spare Butch in order to vote out Alex for being a social and physical threat. The women quickly informed Alex of Deena's betrayal and he was able to convince Heidi, Jenna and the men to eliminate Deena at the next Tribal Council. With Deena gone, Alex was convinced he was solid in an alliance of four with Jenna, Heidi, and Rob. However, he revealed to Rob that his plan was to vote him out at the final four to avoid a tie with Heidi and Jenna. Rob used this information to form a counter alliance with Matthew, Butch, and Christy, where they voted out Alex. With three men and three women remaining, Christy became the swing vote but was voted out after failing to commit to either side. The next Tribal Council, the men stuck together and voted off Heidi, perceived to be the more physical of the two women left. At the final four, Jenna, the final woman remaining, won immunity, forcing the men to prematurely turn on themselves. Faced with either avenging Alex and Heidi by voting off Rob or getting rid of an undeserving Butch, she ultimately sided with Matthew and Rob to vote off Butch. Jenna continued her winning streak and won immunity again, giving her the sole vote at the next Tribal Council, where she voted off Rob due to his strong strategic gameplay. Facing the jury, Matthew was praised for his survival skills and work ethic, but he was criticized for hypocrisy and lack of strategic gameplay for the majority of the game. On the other hand, Jenna was criticized for her lack of work ethic and even wanting to quit a few days earlier. However, as a result of having better relationships with people on the jury, and being seen as playing the game more strategically from the beginning, Jenna was voted to become the Sole Survivor in a vote of 6–1. +Challenge winners and eliminations by episodeEpisodeChallenge winner(s)EliminatedNo. TitleOriginal air dateRewardImmunityTribePlayer1"Boys vs. Girls"February 13, 2003Ryan2"Storms"February 20, 2003Janet3"Girl Power"February 27, 2003Daniel4"Trapped"March 6, 2003JoAnna5"Pick up Sticks"March 13, 2003Jeanne6"More Than Meats the Eye"March 19, 2003Shawna7"Girls Gone Wilder"March 26, 2003Deena rowspan="3" Roger8"Sleeping With the Enemy"April 3, 2003Dave[Deena]JennaDave9"The Chain"April 10, 2003Alex[Jenna]MatthewDeena10"Amazon Redux"April 17, 2003Recap Episode11"Q and A"April 24, 2003Rob rowspan="5" Alex12"Sour Grapes"May 1, 2003Matthew[Butch, Christy,Heidi, Jenna,Rob]Jenna (Heidi)Christy13"The Amazon Heats Up"May 8, 2003Matthew [Rob]MatthewHeidi14" And Then There Were Four"May 11, 2003rowspan="2" JennaButchJennaRob15"The Reunion"

Прием
Прием сезона «Survivor: The Amazon» был в основном положительным, особенно отмечались разделение племен по половому признаку и яркие участники, такие как Роб Честернино. Джефф Пробст назвал «The Amazon» своим десятым любимым сезоном, отметив женский альянс во главе с Дженной и другие факторы. Далтон Росс, официальный колумнист Survivor журнала Entertainment Weekly, поставил этот сезон на седьмое место в своем рейтинге, назвав его «вероятно, самым непредсказуемым сезоном в истории». В 2012 и 2013 годах сайт «Survivor Oz» в своих ежегодных опросах, оценивающих все сезоны сериала, включал «The Amazon» в десятку лучших: в 2012 году он занял 9-е место, а в 2013 году – 7-е. В специальном выпуске CBS Watch, посвященном 15-летию «Survivor», зрители отдали «The Amazon» 8-е место в рейтинге лучших сезонов. Кроме того, в другом опросе для этого же журнала Роб был назван третьим лучшим игроком в истории сериала за его игру в «The Amazon». В 2015 году, когда Роб сам провел опрос на своем сайте подкастов о реалити-шоу, его слушатели оценили «The Amazon» как пятый лучший сезон, а сам Роб лично поставил его на седьмое место. Этот рейтинг был обновлен в 2021 году в подкасте Честернино «Survivor All Time Top 40 Rankings», где сезон занял 8-е место. В 2020 году подкаст «Purple Rock Podcast» поставил этот сезон на 14-е место из 40, отметив, что «сезон заслуживает своей позиции благодаря нескольким запоминающимся моментам как в плане стратегии, так и в плане комедии». Позже в том же году Inside Survivor оценил этот сезон на 8-е место из 40, заявив: «The Amazon поднимает стратегию Survivor на новый уровень, что делает телешоу захватывающим и непредсказуемым».
Reception to Survivor: The Amazon was mostly positive with common praise being the tribe division by gender and bearing colorful players such as Rob Cesternino. Jeff Probst ranked The Amazon as his 10th favorite season, citing the women's alliance led by Jenna, among other factors. Dalton Ross, the official Survivor columnist of Entertainment Weekly, ranked it as his seventh favorite season, calling it "probably the most unpredictable season ever." In 2012 and 2013, "Survivor Oz" ranked The Amazon in the top 10 greatest seasons in its annual polls ranking every season of the series; it was 9th in 2012 and 7th in 2013. In the official issue of CBS Watch commemorating the 15th anniversary of Survivor, The Amazon was voted by viewers as the 8th greatest season of the series. Also, in another poll for the same magazine, Rob was voted as the #3 greatest player in the series for his performance in The Amazon. In 2015, when Rob himself eventually held a poll on his reality TV podcasting website, The Amazon was ranked by his viewers as the 5th greatest season in the series; Rob himself personally ranked it as the seventh greatest. This was updated in 2021 during Cesternino's podcast, Survivor All Time Top 40 Rankings, ranking 8th. In 2020, "Purple Rock Podcast" ranked this season 14th out of 40 saying that "this season earns its rank based on several memorable moments of both gameplay and comedy." Later in the year, Inside Survivor ranked this season 8th out of 40 saying "The Amazon takes Survivor strategy to new heights, which makes for exciting and unpredictable television."
