Survivor: The Amazon
Survivor: The Amazon is the sixth season of Survivor, held in, Rio Negro, Amazonas, Brazil. There are two Tribes, made up of eight people each, divided by gender. 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. During this process, each Tribe lives on separate beaches and must build a shelter, make fire and catch and cook food to survive. There are also Tribal Swaps, where the two existing Tribes swap some members to form two 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 themself. 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.
