Outcast: Season 2

**Outcast: Season 2** is the second season of Outcast.

## Production

* Season 1 production members Ashley, Felix, Jayden and Riley all returned to production for Season 2.
* Three new people were added to the production team from Season 1 — Ben, Caitlin & Eden.

## Format

* **Three Tribes:** The 24 castaways were divided into three tribes of eight:
	+ The Nitaka tribe.
	+ The Taroko​ tribe.
	+ The Yushan tribe.
* **Tribe Expansion:** On Day 8, the castaways were instructed to vote for a **Tribe Leader**. Starting with the player voted as tribe leader, all tribe members were given a dilemma; to either remain on their original tribe or defect to the new Magong tribe. Once a player made their choice, they were instructed to choose the next member of the tribe to receive the dilemma and so on until all players had made a choice.
	+ If two players chose to defect tribes, they were both sent to Magong, and the five players who opted to stay remained on their original tribe.
	+ If only one player opted to defect tribes, they were sent to Magong, and the person who was chosen last to receive the dilemma would automatically be sent to Magong.
	+ If no players opted to defect tribes, the final two players chosen to receive the dilemma would automatically be sent to Magong.
	+ If more than two players opted to defect tribes, the two players who received the dilemma first were sent to Magong, and all other defectors remained on their original tribes.
* Adam H. and Dylan accepted the offer and defected to Magong. Nicholas, Catherine, Larkin and Otter were automatically sent to Magong.
* **Coconut Chop Tribe Dissolve:** On Day 18, the contestants moved from four tribes down to two new tribes; Nitaka and Yushan. These tribes were determined by a "Coconut Chop" Challenge. Here, contestants were asked trivia questions about the game and the first contestant who answered correctly each round gained the ability to anonymously eliminate any player from the challenge, including themselves.
	+ Players eliminated on odd questions were sent to the new Nitaka Tribe.
	+ Players eliminated on even questions were sent to the new Yushan tribe.
* This process continued until one player was left standing. This player won Individual Immunity for the next Tribal Council they attended and gained the ability to pick which of the two tribes they joined. Otter won Individual Immunity and chose to join the new Yushan tribe, leaving Yushan with nine new members and Nitaka with eight new members.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** Hidden Immunity Idols were inserted into the game, attached to **Rewards** and **Moral Dilemmas:**
	+ At the Day 3 Immunity Challenge, the castaways who had been selected as the 'Scavangers' on each tribe were offered a clue to an Idol hidden on the Outcast Forum in exchange for accepting a penalty in the challenge. Hayley & Dylan and Larkin & Benjamin declined the offer, whilst Annabelle & Kyle accepted.
	+ On Day 17, an idol was hidden within the reward given to the tribe which placed first in the Immunity Challenge. Nitaka won the challenge and enjoyed a screening of 'Treasure Island,' wherein which a secret code had been hidden on screen across the movie. Robert was the first person to present this code to production, and as such found the Hidden Immunity Idol.
	+ On Day 24, another idol was hidden within the reward given to the tribe which placed first in the Immunity Challenge. Nitaka won the challenge and were instructed to arrange themselves in any order they liked. Once they had chosen their order, they were called in one-by-one to complete a set of mathematical problems, under one of which was the Idol. Oscar solved the problem under which the idol was hidden and as such found the Hidden Immunity Idol.
	+ At the Survivor Auction on Day 33, Catherine and Joel won a 'Romantic Pizza Date' reward where they were faced with a Prisoners' Dilemma. The pair were each given the option to **Split** or **Steal** half an idol.
		- If both players chose to **Split** the idol, they would each receive half an idol, which would need to be paired together in order to be played successfully.
		- If both players chose to **Steal** the idol, neither would receive the idol and they would both lose their votes at the next Tribal Council.
		- If one player chose to **Split** the idol, and the other chose to **Steal**, the player who 'Stole' the idol would receive the full idol, whilst the other castaway would receive nothing.
		- Catherine and Joel both elected to **Split** the idol and each received half of an idol.
	+ On Day 40, an idol was hidden in a package within the Outcast Logo on the Forum. For every day that the idol wasn't found, the package grew in size. Joel eventually found the idol on Day 46.
* **Double Tribal Councils:**
	+ On Day 6, only the first placing tribe would win immunity, sending both losing tribes to Tribal Council to vote out one person each.
	+ On Day 26, the castaways were informed that both tribes would attend Tribal Council and each vote somebody out, with one member of both tribes winning individual Immunity.
* **Triple Tribal Council:** On Day 12, only the first placing tribe would win immunity, sending all three of the losing tribes to Tribal Council to vote out one person each.
* **Save or Send:** Following the Triple Tribal Council, the three voted out castaways were sent to the winning Magong tribe beach. They were then informed that they would have one day to attempt to integrate with the new tribe before one of them was voted back into the game on the Magong tribe. On Day 14, Dominic was **saved** over Luke and Kyle, who were **sent** home in a 4-1-1 vote.
* **Rock Draw Immunity:** At the Survivor Auction on Day 33, this advantage was offered. This grants a castaway immunity in the event of a Rock Draw stemming from a deadlocked tie vote. Adam H. won this advantage but it never came into play.
* **Challenge Advantage:** At the Survivor Auction on Day 33, an advantage was offered for the Day 36 Immunity Challenge. Annabelle won this advantage, which allowed her to choose the pairs for the Final 10 Immunity Challenge.
* **Double Immunity:** For the Final 10 Immunity Challenge, contestants completed the challenge in pairs, with the winning pair both receiving immunity at the Day 37 Tribal Council. Adam H. and Rebecca together secured Individual Immunity.
