Absolutely! The first fan favorite award was officially given in All-Stars back in 2004.

Predictably, the prize went to Rupert Boneham, one of the most popular contestants in the show's history.In Panama and Cook Islands, viewers could vote for their favorite player to win a car. Funnily enough, the people who won said cars are currently on Survivor 50 in Cirie Fields and Ozzy Lusth.
