Random.org Survivor: Champions vs. Challengers

*Random.org Survivor: Champions vs. Challengers* was the fiftieth season in the *series*.

The season took place in the Taman Negara Park in Malaysia.

The twenty-eight contestants, referred to as "castaways," were divided into four tribes of seven returning players by male and female champions and previous challengers in the final tribal council. The tribes were named Juara, Pemenang, Pencabar, and Selamat meaning, "Champions," "Winners," "Challengers," and "Survivor" in Malay respectively. They represent the name of the camps and the separate teams with immunity and tribal council. On Day 10, there was a tribe switch leading to four new tribes of five.  On Day 22, there was a second tribe switch leading to two new tribes of eight. The merged tribe was named by the 12 castaways who made the merge. They named the tribe Rovivrus, "Survivor," spelled backward.

Three-time winner Logan Shane beat out former Runner-Up Nora Carson in a close 6-5 vote in the final tribal council.

## Twists

* **Increased Prize:** The winner of *Survivor: Winners at War* will receive $2,000,000, the biggest prize given in the series and reality television history.
* **Trial Island:**For the first 10 days, each tribe will attend separate tribal councils each round where one player will win individual immunity. Once three players have been voted out of each tribe, they will battle each other in a duel for one to return back to the game for the next phase with 20 people left. The returning players each earned one fire token upon returning.
* **Redemption Island:**Beginning on Day 10, players will face each other in duels for a chance to return to the game in at a later phase. The player who wins the last duel for the next game phase returns to the game while all losers are eliminated.
* **Fire Tokens:** When someone is voted out, they must bequeath their fire token to someone else. At every new stage of the game, the current players on each tribe with the most accumulated fire tokens will earn an advantage without forfeiting any fire tokens.

Fire tokens can, however, be traded in exchange for something in the game between players.
