Survivor: Ghost Island
Survivor: Ghost Island is the Thirty-Sixth season of Survivor, held in, Mamanuca Islands, Fiji. There are two Tribes, made up of ten people each. 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. After a Challenge, the winning Tribe can send a member of the losing Tribe to Ghost Island, where they will have a chance to win various Advantages in the game that have been seen and not used correctly in past seasons.. 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. There was also the "Extra Vote" advantage, where the holder can use it to cast two votes at Tribal Council instead of one. There was also the Legacy Advantage, which you can use to make yourself immune but only when there are 13 or 6 people left in the game. If you get voted off before that point, you must will it to somebody else in the game. 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. There was also the twist where the winner of the Final Immunity Challenge choosing the one person to join them in the Final Three, while the other two had a Firemaking Challenge to earn their way into the Final Three. The finalist with the most votes is deemed the sole survivor. This season saw the first ever tie at the Final Tribal Council and the rules in place for this were that the third person in the Final Three who was not in the tie, would go to the Jury and cast the vote for who they wanted to win. 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.
