Survivor: Nova Scotia

***Survivor: Nova Scotia*** is the first season of Breezy ORGs Survivor. The game started on February 23, 2020 with 16 castaways. This season ended on March 22, 2020, with Q Winning the game.

## Production

After Breezy ended up hosting a flop with Survivor: Saba ALL-STARS, he decided to restart the Survivor series with a completely different cast.

## Twists/Changes

* **Redemption Island:** For the first time in the series, castaways are allowed a second chance back to compete for the title of Sole Survivor by completing a series of duels.
* **Mutiny:** On Day 6, castaways were offered the mutiny over to the other tribe, everybody in the remaining cast, with the exception of Tierra, decided to accept the mutiny.
* **Extra Vote:** On Day 1, an Extra Vote was hidden on both tribes' camps.
* **Joint Tribal Council:** On Night 12, both tribes attended Tribal Council and were forced to vote out only one person
* **Double-Joint Tribal Council:** On Night 21, both Yarmouth and Inverness had a member from Shelburne at their tribal casting the sole vote, although there were two separate tribals, one for Yarmouth, with a member from Shelburne, and a tribal for Inverness, also with a member from Shelburne
* **Demerge:** On Day 20, the merged tribe, Rock, demerged into three tribes with two members each, Yarmouth, Shelburne, and Inverness
* **Reward of Decision:** After winning the Day 20 Reward Challenge, Nam had won a decision, whether to keep the merged tribe whole, split into two tribes, or three tribes. Nam chose to split into three tribes of two.
* **Exile Island:** After dividing the merged tribe into 3 new tribes, Nam was sent to Exile Island until the tribes became one again.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** In this season, two idols were hidden, one at each camp, but the finder had to give one half of it to another player by the next Tribal Councl and they would have to give the half back for the finder to play the idol. If a person is eliminated from Redemption Island with half of the idol the half goes to the person with the other half, now functioning as a normal Hidden Immunity Idol.

## Season Summary

Sixteen castaways divided into two tribes of eight, Yarmouth​​​​​ and Shelburne​. Both Tribes were then informed of the twist of the season, Redemption Island, voted out castaways could earn their way back into the game by winning duels.

Almost immediately, Yarmouth was seen as a dominant tribe, as they won the first Immunity Challenge, sending Shelburne to Tribal Council. After voting off Rehder due to his inactivity, Shelburne continued to lose the next 4 Immunity Challenge, before and after the mutiny. Rehder continued to dominate Redemption Island, defeating Hamza.

Pyre then quit the game at the Day 8 Immunity Challenge because the game was "too boring" for him.

On Days 8 and 9, the tribes were offered to Mutiny. Yarmouth decided they wanted to force a merge so they could easily pick off the other tribe in the individual portion of the game. Shelburne then responded by having all of their own, except Tierra, to mutiny. This would come back to haunt Tierra as they were voted out at the following Tribal Council.

A Joint Tribal Council was then held, which one person from each tribe winning individual Immunity, with Gavin and Tarun winning due to being the only people to submit in the Face Your Celeb challenge. Owen was voted out 7-2 after a 4-4-2-1 tie.

Whittling the new Yarmouth tribe down to only 2 members, the tribes merged to form Rock on Day 15, and ironically enough, Leopard, who was voted out at the Tribal Council right before the merge, returned to the game. After winning a Reward Challenge, Nam decided to split the newly merged tribe into 3 new tribes, sending himself to Exile Island until they re-merged.

3 New tribes emerged, Yarmouth, Shelburne, and Inverness. After winning the combined Reward and Immunity Challenge, Shelburne got to sit in on both Yarmouth's and Inverness' Tribal Councils. Q, from Shelburne went to Yarmouth's tribal and John went to Inverness' as they would cast the deciding vote for each tribe respectfully. Q chose to eliminate Gavin and John chose to eliminate Quad, both being sent to Redemption Island to face Leopard, Gavin beating them both.

The tribes then re-merged into the Tlingit tribe, only consisting of five members, Gavin was still on Redemption Island. Before anyone could be voted off the newly merged tribe, Gavin was caught using an alternative account to access information he was not supposed to, thus being ejected from the game and cancelling Redemption Island for the rest of the season.

At the Final Five Tribal Council, Nam used an Extra Vote to cast a second vote against Q, thus causing a 3-3 tie between Q and John. After the revote, Breezy declared a deadlock, thus enforcing a rock draw. Only Tarun and Cal were eligible to draw rocks since Nam won Individual Immunity. Tarun drew the unlucky rock and was sent to the jury.

Cal, Tarun, and Q were a power trio who dominated the game after the first merge, once Tarun was eliminated the remaining duo had to work with John. Cal won the following Immunity Challenge and Nam was unanimously voted out due to being seen as a jury threat and a physical threat.

Due to all 3 castaways having a tie at the Final Immunity Challenge the Final 3 went to Tribal Council with no one winning Immunity. At Tribal Council, there was a 1-1-1 tie. Q flipped on Cal due to Cal being seen as a jury threat, since Cal was attempted at being blindsided, he voted John, and John being left out of the loop, voted Q. Since no one was eligible for a revote, Tlingit had to go to rocks for a second time this season. John was eliminated and became the final juror.

At the Final Tribal Council, the Jury saw Cal and Q making the same moves throughout the game, since they both were aligned for the majority of it. Q was criticized for his social game but ultimately won the title of Sole Survivor in a 4-3 Jury Vote. Q also won a free month of Discord Nitro as a prize.

## Trivia

* This is currently the season with the most tribes; Yarmouth, Shelburne, Rock, Inverness, and Tlingit.
* With Shelburne winning at the de-merge, Q has the most Tribal Wins by Individual this season with 5 wins, 3 on Yarmouth, 2 on Shelburne
