Chantal's Survivor was originally put up as Chantal's Survivor: Top Model Vs. Survivor, however the show was cancelled due to a lackluster amount of applications. The show was then brought back instead casting as Chantal's Top Model: Survivor, again the show was cancelled due to a lackluster amount of applicants. Finally for a third time, Chantal's Survivor was renewed, this time as Chantal's Survivor: Borneo, this time 20 contestants applied. The show was intended to feature 18 contestants, however the format was changed from 18 to 16 match the amount of contestants featured in the original Survivor: Borneo. 4 applicants were cut from the final selection process and 16 made the official cast of the first season.
