## **Production**

The production staff mainly consisting of Nicholas Ruggeri, did both editing and hosting the season by himself (subtle brag) he chose the Tocantins based upon the wide varity of casting choices and every character was unique.

During the Season, Debbie ended up qutting and therefore, was not on the jury. Jerry was then put on the jury as a replacement.

## **Twists and Changes**

**Outcast Twist:** At the start of the season players were able to vote a player out at the beginning. Rather than being elimanated for good, they were sent back to camp with a choice. Help the tribe which gave them an advantage in the next challenge or help themselves where they would have a chance to get a hidden immunity idol, good for the first tribal they attend.

**Exile Island:** In the pre-merge portion of the season, after the challenge, one member from each tribe was chosen to head to Exile Island. Exile Island would give the player immunity from the upcoming tribal council and could have a change at finding a hidden immunity idol. During the merge, only one person was chosen each time and a player could wager their vote for a chance at a hidden immunity idol.

**Hidden Immunity Idol:** There was a total of 3 different idols hidden in the game, The Forza Idol, The Timbira Idol and Jalapao Idol. They could be played up until the final 5.

**Tribe Dissolve:** On Day 13, One of the tribe would become dissolved for the other tribe to pick up.

**Tribe Swap:** On Day 10, the players swapped tribes into 3 seperate tribes where one player was sent to exile and had the choice of what tribe he moved to.

**Larger Jury:** Jury started to Form on Day 21 when Erin was voted out, however, since Debbie quit she was replaced with Jerry.

## **Season Summary**

To start out the 16 contestants boarded a truck and were dropped off in the Tocantins. Once they were there they were faced with the first impressions twist where one player was outcast from the tribe, Sydney from the Jalapao tribe and Coach from the Timbira Tribe where exiled where they both chose to help the tribe. During the pre-swap portion of the game, Jalapao lost every challenge and elimanated Sandy, Sydney and Joe in hopes of keeping the tribe stronger.

The tribe swap hit on Day 10 with Coach being sent to exile he chose what tribe he was sent too. He chose Timbira where Brendan was elimanated due to his threat level.

In another reward challenge the contestants got to dissolve a tribe and after Jalapao lost and was thus disbanded. Candace was elimanted partically because she had no allegance with the other tribe but partically because they were inactive. Jerry was next when his old tribe mates didn't trust him anymore.

The merge came on Day 19 and 10 contestants where pitted againist each other. Erin became the first to leave due to the fact that she left all the cards on the table. Debbie quit a few days after on Day 24 for personal reasons. A survivor auction happened where Coach won a clutch immunity. JT was voted out for being a physical threat. Originally it was Coach's time to go but with Carolina about to become medevaced, Coach was spared. Down to the final 6 Coach was out of ends and was elimanated from the game. Spencer went on an immunity spree elimanating big threats like Stephen, Taj and Tyson whom all could win the game.

Once final tribal hit, the votes were tied 4-4 but with last minute changes from some players it became a 6-2 when people pitied Sierra to give her votes. Spencer ultimately won and became the first winner of the franchise.
