**Jonvivor: Coromandel Peninsula** was the very first season of Jonvivor. Pre-Production for the season began January 12, 2021, with Jon, Cinya, Konner, and shortly after, Alicia, joining to host. Applications went out on the 13th of January, and the season officially starting on February 9th, 2021. The season lasted for 36 days, ending on March 17th, 2021. The season took place in New Zealand, at the Coromandel Peninsula.

The season was made up of **twenty castaways**, separated at first into two tribes, **Matariki** in purple, & **Kapua**, in light blue. They were named after Maori words, provided by Cinya, who lives in New Zealand. Matariki meaning a cluster of stars, and Kapua meaning clouds. The other tribe later in the season were named after Maori words as well, **Takutai** (Beach), **Moana** (Sea), **Puti Puti** (Flowers), and the finally, the merge tribe of **Aotearoa**, the Maori word for the whole county of New Zealand.

The winner of the season was **Jerome**, who won in a final 6-1-1 vote, against runner-ups, **Norbiii** and **Saint**.

## Pre-Production

Jon had been relatively new to ORGs, only playing in two ORGs before starting Jonvivor. He had the idea of starting an ORG, and mentioned it to Cinya, shortly after finishing up winning CampfireORG, and achieving 4th place and Player of the Season in Mariovivor. With that, Cinya and Jon created the server. Jon knew Konner, so asked him to help out, because he knew that Konner had created his own ORG, Secretvivor, as well. Cinya brought on Alicia, who hosted Jon, Cinya, and Konner in Mariovivor, and... the team was assembled.

The server was created on January 12th, and by January 13th, applications were already out.

## Production

The first applications were created by Konner, who sent them out on January 13th, 2021, while the season was still being planned. Applications closed on February 8th, with the season starting the very next day, on February 9th, 2021. There was a total of 24 applicants, and 4 of them were cut to make this a 20 person season.

After the cast reveal on February 9th, the tribes were decided, and the game had begun.

## Season Features

* **Two Starting Tribes**: The two tribes at the start were Matariki, and Kapua. They both consisted of 10 people.
* **Hidden Immunity Idols**: There was a hidden immunity idol hidden for both tribes. Only one of these were found.
* **Joint Hidden Immunity Idol**: This hidden Immunity idol was easier to find, but harder to get. Two people needed to work together in order to get this idol, as the original finder had to designate a *"partner in crime"* to find this idol with.
* **Tribe Swap**: On day 4, the tribes swapped from two tribes, to three tribes of 5. The tribes were Matariki 2.0, Kapua 2.0, and the new tribe, Takutai.
* **How Far Will You Go Challenge**: Castaways were presented with a choice, do they help their tribe and hurt themselves, or hope that the rest of their tribe will pull their own weight?
* **School Yard Pick**: On day 9, the tribes swapped again, this time into two new tribes of 7, chosen by two randomly selected Captains.
* **Merge**: On day 17, the final 11 castaways left in the game merged together into one tribe, called Aotearoa.
* **Extra Vote**: This gave someone the power to vote twice at one tribal council.
* **Steal-A-Vote**: This gave someone the power to steal someone else's vote, so that they could not vote, and the person who stole it could now vote twice at one tribal council.
* **Public Hidden Immunity Idol**: This was a hidden immunity idol that would allow someone to block votes against them, however, everyone knew that this person had received it.
* **Half Hidden Immunity Idols**: This was a hidden immunity idol that would allow someone to block votes against them up until the Final 9, if combined with another half idol, it would have it's full power and work until final 5.
* **Final Tribal Council**: Final Tribal Council consisted of three finalists and eight jury members.
