Random.org Survivor: Past vs. Present

*Random.org Survivor: Past vs. Present* was the third and final part of the sixtieth season in the *series*.

The season took place in Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands.

The twenty four returning contestants, referred to as "castaways," were divided into two tribes of twelve merged from their previous seasons. These tribes were named Past and Present, named after the previous seasons the castaways were playing. They represent the name of the camps and the separate teams with immunity and tribal council. On Day 39, the tribes expanded into three tribes of seven named Sule, Tulagi, and Vunuha, all areas of a Solomon Islands island. On Day 49, the tribes switched into three new tribes of five. On Day 53, the tribes merged into the Taem tribe, named after the Pijian word for "Time," the language of the Solomon Islands.

Maryjane Campbell beat out Heather Morton and Felix Mack in a close 9-7-5 jury vote in the Final Tribal Council.

## Introduction

Parvati never played the Vote Canceler.

* + **The Gambling Booth:** At each camp, a castaway may gamble an item of value for the chance to gain something new on a game of chance. Castaways may gamble their vote, immunity, advantages, or any item of similar value.
		- **Day 33 - Blackjack:** Luis visited the Gambling Booth and staked his vote on a game of chance. The game was revealed to be Blackjack. Luis received a 12 and decided to stand with the dealer drawing 12 as well but busting with a King face card. Luis received an extra vote as a result.

		- **Day 35 - 1 vs. 1 Poker:** Because both Luis and Vivian visited the Gambling Booth, they each bet their stakes of two votes and a 50/50 coin respectively. Whoever could win the best five card poker hand would earn the other's advantage. Luis drew ♣Q ♦Q ♥Q ♣10 ♣9. Vivian drew ♥K ♠Q ♥10 ♥8 ♦7. Luis beat Vivian, earning her 50/50 Coin in the process and keeping his two votes.
		- **Day 38 - Ride The Tide:** Valentine visited the Gambling Booth and staked the Anuha Idol on a game of chance. The game was revealed to be Ride The Tide. The goal was for Valentine to guess whether the next card drawn would be higher, lower, or the same. If he could guess three correctly in a row, he will win the game. The first card drawn was a three of diamonds and Valentine chose higher. The second card drawn was a King of Spades. Valentine chose lower and drew a 10 of Hearts. He chose higher and drew a King of Spades, winning the game and receiving a new Super Idol which can be played after the votes are read.
		- **Day 41 - Battleship:** Because both Wendell and Jeff visited the Gambling Booth, they each bet their stakes of the Malue Vote Blocker and the Nata Idol respectively. They each played a game of battleship, trying to sink each other's rafts on a hidden game board. Jeff ultimately sank all of Wendell's ships first, earning him the Malue Vote Blocker and leaving Wendell with nothing.
		- **Day 44 - Guess the Vote:** Valentine visited the Gambling Booth and staked the Sule Idol and the Anuha Super Idol on a game of chance. The game was revealed to Guess the Vote, prompting Valentine to guess who would be the next person voted out of Survivor on each tribe. Valentine chose to stake both idols on his guess of the Tulagi tribal council, guessing Felix would be voted out. After Amanda was voted out, Valentine lost both of his idols to the game.
		- **Day 46 - Dice:** Because both Valentine and Heather visited the Gambling Booth, they each bet the only item they had in a vote on a game of chance against each other. The game was a simple dice roll with a twist. There was a coin toss and the winner of the coin toss could decide whether higher or lower values win with Heather winning on a heads call and deciding higher dice win. Valentine rolled a three (1, 2) and Heather rolled a seven (5, 2), meaning Heather earned an extra vote while Valentine lost his vote at the next tribal council. Heather played her extra vote on Day 57 against Noel.
		- **Day 48 - Texas Hold 'Em Poker:** Because Felix, Heather, and Valentine all visited the Gambling Booth, they each bet an item of choice on a game of chance against each other. The game was Texas Hold 'Em Poker, a game of poker where players receive two cards and five community cards are dealt through betting rounds to bluff and fold or have a strong hand for the win. Felix bet his Rara Idol, Heather bet her vote and an extra vote, and Valentine chose to risk a penalty vote at the next tribal council. It's a winner take all game of chance based on deception up front. If they decided to fold their hand, they could keep their stake and walk away. Felix drew a ♦K ♠7, Heather drew a ♣6 ♣4, and Valentine drew a ♦A ♣A. Valentine led with a pair of Aces. They all stayed in. The three community cards dealt were ♣2 ♣5 ♦7. Valentine still led with a pair of Aces followed by Felix with a pair of 7s. They all stayed in. The turn card deal was ♥3. Heather led with a straight (2-6) followed by Felix and Valentine with the same hands. Valentine chose to fold and leave the game, still losing his vote at the next tribal council from the previous game. Felix and Heather stayed in. The river card dealt was ♥A. Felix left the game, leaving Heather to win a single prize by default. Despite not being able to bluff her opponents, Heather earned a playable 50/50 Coin to use at any tribal council through the F5. Heather played the 50/50 Coin on herself on Day 56, flipping *NOT SAFE* but did not receive votes.
		- **Day 50 - The Punishment Game:** Because Parvati, Rey, and Valentine all visited the Gambling Booth, they each bet an item of choice on a game of chance against each other. The game was called The Punishment Game, a game where taking punishments of varying degrees for a larger reward is key. Taking punishments works similarly to betting, so the castaway that takes the most overall punishments will receive the game prizes from the other castaways and a special bonus prize. There are a maximum of five rounds and if more than one remaining castaway(s) take all punishments, they will be forced to leave the game in a draw losing everything and taking only punishments. By saying no to a punishment, the player loses their stake and leaves empty-handed but with less or no punishments.
			* **The Punishment Game - Round 1:** The punishment would be losing your vote at the next tribal council. Parvati and Valentine chose to take the punishment while Rey chose to leave, losing his Legacy Advantage to the game.
			* **The Punishment Game - Round 2:** The punishment would be no eating tribe food for two days. Parvati and Valentine chose to take the punishment.
			* **The Punishment Game - Round 3:** The punishment would be losing the chance to fight for the next possible individual immunity. Parvati chose to take the punishment while Valentine chose to leave, losing his the vote at the next tribal council after his punishments take place. Parvati won Rey's Legacy Advantage, Valentine's vote (to replace her punishment of losing a vote), and a special reward as a **Special Idol Nullifier**, capable of blocking an idol play after the votes have been read. Parvati played the Special Idol Nullifier against Ty's Sule Idol once the votes were read on Day 55, sending Ty right out of the game.
		- **Day 52 - Endurance Test:** Because Jewel and Valentine both visited the Gambling Booth, they each bet an item of choice on a game of chance against each other. The game was to put their stake on winning a head-to-head endurance match with the endurance of their choice: holding five balls on a paddle, holding their weight in sand on a platform, or climbing a ridged pole with almost nothing to grab. Both Jewel and Valentine elected to climb a pole and grab for as long as they could. Valentine beat Jewel when he fell at 43 minutes into the challenge. As a result, Jewel lost his vote at the next tribal council while Valentine regained one vote out of his two lost votes at tribal council.
		- **Day 53 - Puzzlemania:** Parvati visited the Gambling Booth alone on Day 53 after the merge and staked her Special Idol Nullifer on a game of chance. The game was to bet on one of three times to beat in a puzzle-solving mini-challenge. Only a small part of the puzzle is visible: a slide puzzle. Parvati could bet she would finish in 10 minutes, 5 minutes, or 1 minute with each lower time providing bigger rewards. Parvati bet her advantage on 10 minutes and successfully solved the 50-piece slide puzzle in 3 minutes. As a result, she kept her Special Idol Nullifer and earned the **Exile Idol** which works similar to the Safety Without Power advantage previously seen. The Exile Idol can be played as a regular hidden immunity idol. If there are no nullifiers, the idoled person immediately leaves tribal council before the votes are read and heads to a special one round at Exile Island with potential treasures while all votes are negated. The player is no longer a part of tribal council once played, so any ties, tiebreakers, and rock draws continue. If played on a double tribal council round, the player skips the second tribal council altogether. Parvati played the Exile Idol on Day 53, negating one vote cast against her and immediately sending her to Exile Island where she found a special advantage.
		- **Day 54 - None:** No one visited The Gambling Booth on Day 54.
		- **Day 55 - None:** No one visited The Gambling Booth on Day 55.
		- **Day 56 - The Trust Game:** Because Felix, Gina, and Noel all visited the Gambling Booth, they each bet their stakes of one tribal council vote on a game of chance. The game was to get two players to agree on who is most trustworthy in the group of three. The most trustworthy person wins the game, opponent's bets, and a prize while the losers lose their stakes. If no two players can agree, all players lose their bets and leave empty-handed. Noel felt Felix was the most trustworthy, Felix felt Gina was the most trustworthy, and Gina felt Noel was the most trustworthy. Because no two players agreed, they all lost their votes at the next tribal council.

* + **One World:** All tribes will live at one camp in the Solomon Islands and could potentially find each other's advantages with game-changing decisions. The twist ended on Day 39 when the tribes expanded to three tribes.
	+ *The Forbidden Ceremony:* The Forbidden Ceremony activates an unknown survival twist into the game meaning castaways need to be more adaptive than ever and could regret their choices. At the pre-merge, the Forbidden Ceremony can only be activated if both tribe ceremony flames are activated in the same round. Starting at the merge, any individual castaway may perform the Forbidden Ceremony by grabbing a torch and lighting the ceremony flame posted at camp. Once activated, every castaway can see the fire at camp knowing that a twist has entered the game.
	+ *No Twist:* No Twist prevents additional twists from entering the game.

* **Reward Decisions:** On Day 53, Jewel won the individual reward challenge and was secretly given the choice to keep the food reward, Spaghetti and Meatballs with Garlic Bread, or take a clue to a secret Advantage. He selected the food reward.
