Random.org Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers

*Random.org Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers* was the forty-second season in the *series*.

The season took place in Upolu, Samoa.

The eighteen contestants, referred to as "castaways," were divided into three tribes of six based on three common approaches to life: "hero" vs. "healer" vs. "hustler." They represent the name of the camps and the separate teams with immunity and tribal council. On Day 9, there was a tribe switch to three new tribes of five, when the tribes were renamed to "Apai," "Faleu," and "Salua," respectively, all named after villages in Samoa. The merged tribe was named by the 11 castaways who made the merge. They named the tribe Saleai, a combination of the three tribe names.

Healer Cliff Smith beat out Hustler Sage McCray and Healer Mike Vangorn in a 4-2-1 vote in the final tribal council.

## Twists

* **Fire Tokens:** Fire Tokens allow the castaways to purchase creature comforts, food, or game advantages.
* **Fire Token Advantages:** Throughout the game, advantages are hidden around camp, at challenges, or at tribal council. These advantages can be purchased, provided they have enough fire tokens and want to purchase the advantage. Any advantage purchased in the game can be resold or given to any other player at any time.
	+ **Two-Round Single Idol:**On Day 5, Gil found a two-round single regular hidden immunity idol at the Hero camp. Gil could purchase the advantage for one fire token and she did. After surviving her second tribal council on Day 14 with no idol play, the idol became useless in the game.
	+ **Two-Round Super Idol:**On Day 8, Cliff found a two-round super hidden immunity idol at the Healer camp, priced at two fire tokens. Cliff purchased the advantage with both of his tokens. On Day 19, Cliff used the Super Idol at his second tribal council since receiving the advantage, effectively negating three votes and voting out Elden.
	+ **Vote Block:** On Day 14, Gil found a one-round vote block advantage at the Faleu camp, priced at three fire tokens. Gil only had one fire token, so she made up a plan to gain Link and Sage's fire tokens separately to purchase the advantage. She told them both that she was using the transaction as a way to build trust. However, she plotted the entire tribe against Link to vote him out successfully.
	+ **Safety Without Power**: On Day 19, Jill found the Safety Without Power advantage at the Apai camp, allowing her to leave tribal council and be safe without voting, priced at four fire tokens. She convinced Cliff, Elden, and Catrina C. to all give her one fire token to buy this advantage along with her own fire token. At the first tribal council after merging on Day 22, Jill played her advantage and left tribal council before the vote was cast.
	+ **Surprise Advantage:**On Day 25, Catrina C. found a locked box at the Soleai camp labeled as, "Surprise Advantage," with a note specifying it would cost four fire tokens to open the advantage. Catrina C. rejected the offer to pay for the advantage and tried to bury it.
	+ **50/50 Coin:**On Day 35, Mike found the 50/50 Coin advantage at the Soleai camp which he purchased for five fire tokens, four of his own and one from Sage. At the Day 37 tribal council, Mike flipped the coin for safety and won immunity, negating no votes.
* **Hidden Immunity Idols:** There is one hidden immunity idol hidden at random places in, near, or around camp. If found with a clue, the idol may be hidden in a spot in camp. After idols are successfully played or leave the game, new idols are hidden the same way.
	+ **Hero / Apai Idol:** Alan found the Hero Idol on Day 6 hidden on a piece of the rice container. At the Day 35 tribal council, Alan played the Hero Idol on himself, successfully negating five votes cast against him.
	+ **Healer / Faleu Idol:** Cliff found the Healer Idol on Day 5 after the immunity challenge hidden on a piece of the rice container.
	+ **Hustler / Salua Idol:** Sage found the Hustler Idol on Day 7 hidden on a piece of the rice container. At the Day 22 tribal council, Sage played the Hustler Idol on himself, successfully negating six votes cast against him.
	+ **Saleai Idol:**Andrew found the Saleai Idol on Day 26 hidden at the top of a tree that required a built tool to get down without anyone seeing. However, at the Day 33 tribal council, Andrew was blindsided with the idol in his pocket. The Saleai Idol was rehidden and Sage found it on Day 34. At the Day 37 tribal council, Sage played the Saleai Idol on himself, successfully negating three votes cast against him.
