Survivor: Kaoh Rong -
Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty
Survivor: Kaoh Rong - Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty is the Thirty-Second season of Survivor, held in Koh Rong, Cambodia. It started with three Tribes of six individuals, separated by dominant physical trait, Brains, Brawn or Beauty. The Tribes compete in Reward Challenges, to gain food and supplies. 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. During this process, each Tribe lives on separate beaches and must build a shelter, make fire and catch and cook food to survive. At each Tribes camp, there are clues to the location of the Hidden Immunity Idol, which the finder can use up to and through the Final Five in case they think they're in danger, if they play it, it nulls all votes cast towards them. This season, for the first time, if two people, each of who have an Idol, are in an alliance, they can choose to combine the Idols into a Super Idol, which can be played after the votes are read. There is also the "Extra Vote Advantage", where you can play it when you go to vote to cast two votes instead of one. There are also Tribal Swaps, where the existing Tribes swap some members to form new Tribes and really change the Tribe dynamic. 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. However, the person that wins Immunity has a chance to give Immunity to someone else and become vulnerable themselves. 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. However, this season, the Final Three would compete in a Reward Challenge before facing the Final Jury and the winner of the Challenge will be able to get rid of one Jury member, who in turn, would not be able to vote. The finalist with the most votes is deemed the sole survivor.
