Random.org Survivor: Samoa

*Random.org Survivor: Samoa* was the thirty-fifth season in the *series*.

The season took place in Upolu, Samoa.

The twenty contestants, referred to as "castaways," were divided into two tribes of ten by the first two volunteers to be tribe leaders. Kelly and Sonja stepped forward and began picking tribes in that order by alternating gender picks. These tribes were named  Galu and Foa Foa, Samoan words meaning "wave" and "trumpet shell," respectively. They represent the name of the camps and the separate teams with immunity and tribal council. Because Galu lost every single tribal challenge, they went to tribal council every round until only one tribe member remained. Thus, there was no merge and instead the last remaining Galu member moved to the Foa Foa camp and was "conquered," with eleven remaining castaways.

Digital Media Creator Logan Shane beat out Defense Attorney Jenny Long in a landslide 8-1 vote in the Final Tribal Council.

## Twists

* **Day One One World:** All 20 players paddled a boat from the ocean onto a beach where they all awaited news about the game. No tribes were established yet.
* **Safety Without Power:** At the beach on Day One, there is an advantage hidden called the "Safety Without Power" advantage which allows a player to leave tribal council before the vote and be safe that night. The advantage can be used through the Final Five. The advantage was found on Day One by Syndey who would later join the Galu tribe. On Day Eight, Sydney was voted out so the advantage was never used.
* **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.
	+ **Foa Foa Idol:** Alice found the Foa Foa Idol on Day One under a rock. She was voted out with the Foa Foa Idol on Day 35 without having played it. The idol was never found again.
	+ **Galu Idol:** Marie found the Galu Idol on Day Three under a rock hours before tribal council. However, she was voted out with it on Day 14 so the Galu Idol was rehidden. Logan found the new Galu Idol hidden in the ground on Day 15. At the first of two tribal councils on Day 16, Logan played the Galu idol successfully negating three votes. After the idol was rehidden, Logan found the Galu Idol again on Day 18. On Day 36, Logan played the second Galu Idol negating two votes.
* **Volunteer Leaders:** On Day Two, the players were asked for two people to volunteer to be leaders. These two people would each pick their tribes, alternating by gender.
* **Tribe Selection:** The two leaders, Kelly and Sonja, stepped forward. Because Kelly stepped forward first, she chose first. This is the order they chose their tribe members:
	+ **Foa Foa Tribe:** Spencer, Joaquin, Willy, Caleb, Jo, Jenny, Alice, Jimmy, and Tom who was not picked.
	+ **Galu Tribe:** Wallace, Roseanne, Logan, Zandra, Sydney, Rocco, Cheryl, and Sonja chose the last two picks with Albert and Marie.
* **First Challenge:** After the tribes were selected on Day Two, they immediately played in their first combined reward and immunity challenge. The winning tribe chose whether they would stay in the same camp or start over. The losing tribe would go to tribal council on Day Three, giving them time to build a camp and make a decision.
* **Double Tribal Council:** On Day 16, it was announced that the losing tribe would vote out two people from their tribe.

## Castaways
