Survivor: David vs. Goliath
Survivor: David vs. Goliath is the Thirty-Seventh season of Survivor, held in, Mamanuca Islands, Fiji. There are two Tribes, made up of ten people each, separated by adversity, Davids (underdogs) vs. Goliaths (overachievers). In Survivor, the two Tribes compete in Reward Challenges, to gain food and supplies and then they compete in Immunity Challenges. The winning Tribe guarantees that all Tribe members are safe a few more days while the losing Tribe must go to Tribal Council and vote somebody off. There are also Hidden Immunity Idols, that can be found in various ways. If you have the Hidden Immunity Idol, you can use it up to and threw the Final Five to make yourself immune from the votes before the votes are read. This season debuts the Idol Nullifier, which can be played while voting and if you play it with the right persons name on the back, it will nullify if they play an Idol at that Tribal Council and they will still be vulnerable. There was also the "Vote Steal" advantage, where the holder can use it to take someones vote away from them and cast two votes at Tribal Council. During this process, each Tribe lives on separate beaches and must build a shelter, make fire and catch and cook food to survive. Once a certain amount of players have been voted off, the two Tribes merge to form one Tribe. They then compete for individual Rewards, where one (or more if the winner gets a chance to select somebody to accompany them), castaway enjoys food or some sort of cultural experience. They also compete for individual Immunity, where the person that wins cannot be voted out at Tribal Council and one of the others is voted out. At a certain point, the voted out castaways become members of the Jury, who, once down to the final competitors, vote for who they think should win the million dollars. The finalist with the most votes is deemed the sole survivor. The winner of the Final Immunity Challenge will choose the one person to join them in the Final Three, while the other two have a Firemaking Challenge to earn their way into the Final Three. The finalist with the most votes is deemed the sole survivor.
