Survivor: Skull Island

## Cast

***Survivor: Skull Island*** is the fourth season of Reality Network's Survivor.

## Twists/Changes

* **First Impressions Mock Vote:** Moments after meeting each other, each tribe was told to immediately vote out one member. The people "voted out" were swapped to the opposite tribe and would be immune at their first visit to Tribal Council.
* **Skull Island:** The tribe that wins an Immunity Challenge gets the opportunity to banish one member from the losing tribe to Skull Island, and in return, the said person must pick one member from the winning tribe to join them on Skull Island. A variant of Exile Island that is adorned with authentic props from past seasons, some of which are Hidden Immunity Idols and advantages that can be played this season. To obtain a relic, inhabitants must either duel each other for said relic with a chance of losing their vote at the next Tribal Council they attend, or they may forfeit to their opponent in the means of keeping their vote. The playable relics were:
	+ **Tri-Idol:** Parisvogues' Hidden Immunity Idol from *Jurassic World*, with this idol having a 1 in 3 chance of working *(obtained by MissGraande)*.
	+ **Nightmare Idol:** DreamZoll's Hidden Immunity Idol from *Land of Aruba*, can be activated by correctly guessing how one player has voted before the votes are read *(obtained by Eddie\_XV)*.
	+ **Bank Your Vote Advantage:** Samvhi's Vote Steal advantage from *Jurassic World*, which is now repurposed as an Extra Vote advantage in exchange for keeping a blank parchment at any Tribal Council instead of casting a vote, allowing them to vote twice at a future Tribal Council *(obtained by wiIlisaur)*.
	+ **Surprise Sit-Out Advantage:** Parisvogues' Challenge Blocker Advantage from *Jurassic World*, which is now repurposed to be used to block someone from competing in the pre-merge phase rather than the post-merge *(obtained by anthznys)*.
	+ **Lasting Legacy Advantage:** Clermontbarbies' Legacy Advantage from *Jumanji*, the advantage must be willed to another player every cycle rather than if the original holder is eliminated *(obtained by brianscapricorn)*.
	+ **Friendship Idol:** Kiyotaka\_Drippymaru's Hidden Immunity Idol from *Land of Aruba*, the effects of which differ this season, as this idol can only be played on another player *(obtained by phoebebby)*.
	+ **Beware Advantage:** Wydwaylon's Hidden Immunity Idol from *Jumanji*, however this idol remains powerless until the finder visits two Tribal Councils without a vote *(obtained by vzJoey)*.
	+ **Ride or Die Advantage:** RileyxProductions' Challenge Advantage from *Land of Aruba*, which for this season has the same purpose with giving its holder a choice of who they want to compete for individual immunity alongside *(obtained by NickiLynnz)*.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 9, the tribes were mixed up. Because of odd numbers, the player without a buff was sent to Skull Island and was given immunity. The exiled player will stay there until the tribe that loses the next Immunity Challenge already finished the task of voting out one of their own. After the vote, the exiled player will join that tribe.
* **Tribe Expansion:** On Day 14, a tribe expansion occurred, spreading the 15 remaining players into three tribes of five, the third being the Bayon tribe.
* **Fake Hidden Immunity Idol Kit:** A kit which comes with the tools to design a fake Hidden Immunity Idol.
* **Post-Merge Reward Challenges:** Members of the merged tribe would compete for rewards, either as individual units or by being seperated into groups. If the number of players cannot be divisible into equal-numbered groups, either a single player wins the challenge (with the choice of choosing a tribemate to share their reward with), or divide them into groups, with one person singled out.
* **Final Two and Expanded Jury:** Unlike the first three seasons where the usual Final Three facing a ten-player jury is featured (with the exception of *Survivor: Jumanji* because of a quit in Ponderosa), this season featured a Final Tribal Council with two remaining finalists facing an eleven-person jury.
