Twistvivor: Enter the Darkness

***Twistvivor: Enter the Darkness*** is the fourth season in the *Twistvivor* franchise. Despite being deemed objectively one of the worst seasons in *Twistvivor*, this season has produced a lot of memorable moments, castaways, and twists.

After enduring multiple hard daily twists, tribe switches every cycle, and over fourty days, Anna defeated Zero and Seal in a 5-2-0 vote, becoming *Twistvivor's* first female winner. A great number of other castaways from this season have returned for future seasons and have made their marks there.

## Production

This season, Crimson was the only one of the original hosts to host this new season of Twistvivor, along with Eddie, the winner of season one. Pace did not host this season, as they were playing the season. Simple, Phoenix, Jay, Tommithy, and Jack returned as production members, and Emory joined the team after playing The Two Worlds. On top of all of these, Brett joined the team as a new addition to the Twistvivor community.

## Twists/Changes

* **Tribe Switch Every Cycle:** After every cycle (challenge and tribal council), the players left in the game would switch tribes. This continued until the first merge.
* **Survivability:** Each cycle, depending on the circumstances, players had to complete various puzzles and games in order to create fire, eat food, and build a shelter. Failure to do all three games would result in a strike, and possibly even disadvantages in challenges.
* **The Void:** This twist acted as both a safari and a return-to-the-game mechanism. Players could search through the void to try and obtain advantages that could be used in the game. With each place they went in, they could interact with other people, no matter which tribe they were on. Voted out players were sent to The Void to wait for a challenge to compete in to re-enter the game (much like the twist from Survivor: Edge of Extinction). This latter twist ended before the Triple Elimination.

## Season Summary

The premerge of this season was very anticlimactic. There were a ton of robbed players going for various reasons outside of their control. They were twist screwed or just blindly following orders. On top of this, there were a handful of disappointing players who either struck out or were inactive. The slowest part of the game was the first merge, where each vote was just mostly unanimous. The cast continued to have inactive players, and four people struck out of the season at this point. However, Bolivia and Thicc, dominant and active players, made up for the boringness of this stage of the game. Luckily, the second merge is where the game picked up and the season started to end on a good note. All of players here played strong games, which was great to see. From Bolivia running the show, to Baile's chaos and Anna's under-the-radar control, this final stage of the game was fun to watch. Overall, the start of the season was very boring and had some very poor players, but at the second merge, the game picked up and ended on a good note.

## Trivia

* This season is tied with *Bolivian Barrage* and *Decision Peak* for the smallest amount of jury members with seven.
	+ Subsequently, this season has the smallest amount of jury members out of all the Era One seasons.
	+ However, this season is the largest cast out of the three to have the least amount of jury members.
* This is the first season in which switched tribe names were not the same as the original tribe names.
* This is the first season in Twistvivor history where a female won the season.
	+ This remained the only season to have this case until *Game of Death*.
* To date, this season has produced fifteen returning players (Bolivia, Notch, James, Emmy, Baile, Caleb, Nik, Thicc, Austin, Shail, Ariana, Kaiden, Fyfen, OCFrey, and Cranium) for future seasons.
	+ Out of these players, four of them (Notch, Caleb, Kaiden, and Cranium) have made the Final Tribal Council in future seasons, and two of them have won one of those future seasons (Cranium won *Second Chances* and Kaiden won *Allstars*).
* The castaways featured in the season four DVD cover are as follows from left to right, top to bottom: Anna, Bolivia, Seal, Notch, James, and Baile.
* This is the first season to not feature any particular color behind the castaway pictures. The reason for this is because all twenty-eight castaways at the start of the game had a given time period to create their own duos, duo names, and duo colors. Therefore, by technicality, the game started with no tribes.
* This is the first season in which a castaway could miss being on a tribe due to being exiled.
* This is the first season to feature the Castaway Favorite award.
* This is the first season to feature a tribal council in which three people were voted out.
* This season holds the record for the most strikeouts (officially labeled as "evacuations") in a season with six.
