Survivor: Jamaica

## Series Chronology

***Survivor: Jamaica*** is the twenty-second season of the third generation Suitman's Survivor Series, which premiered on February 26, 2022 and ended with the winner reveal on March 17, 2022.

It ended with Samantha G. defeating Suzy Q. and Ben A. at the Final Tribal Council in an 4-3-2 vote.

## Production

The twenty-second season was revealed on February 8, 2022. Applications opened the same day, and closed over two weeks later on February 24, 2022. 42 people applied, 21 were cut from the casting, and 21 went on to become the castaways competing in the game. The full cast was revealed on February 25, 2022, along with the tribal designations.

This season, twenty-one castaways were divided into three tribes of seven. The tribes are named after explorers of Jamaica - Angulo, wearing blue, Mazuelo, in magenta, and Zegama, with orange. On Day 11, the tribes merged into Irie, wearing white.

The series is produced and hosted by SuitMan13, with production assistance from Haus Gaga, JackTheFlop, PumpSmash, AlmightyOZ, Spark\_, Ian.Reis and Christian37.

## Features

### Twists

* **Material World:** A series of materials were hidden across the 24 hunting ground locations, which could be used to 'craft' game advantages - including Hidden Immunity Idols - using specific advantage recipes, given to tribes that win the Immunity Challenges.
* **Shot in the Dark:** By sacrificing their vote at Tribal Council, a player in trouble may draw a parchment for a one in six chance to be immune from the vote. Although a successful outcome is slim, the safety acts as if a Hidden Immunity Idol has been played.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 4, after no players accepted to mutiny, the Angulo, Mazuelo, and Zegama tribes underwent a tribe switch, mixing up the tribes in a school-yard pick. On Day 9, the players underwent a second tribe switch after the Fake Merge was announced, reverting back to two tribes in a random draw. The Zegama tribe was dismantled in this second switch.
	+ **Mutiny Option:** Castaways were faced with the opportunity to mutiny to a tribe of their choice. If 1-3 players took the option, then it would prevent the incoming tribe swap from happening.
* **Fake Merge:** On Day 7, the fourteen remaining players were told they had merged. However, it was revealed on Day 9 not to be the case. The game reverted back to tribes, until the actual merge took place on Day 11.

### Powers

* **Hidden Immunity Idols:** In a major change to normal distribution, hidden idols could be crafted this season, using an advantage recipe and materials from the Material World twist.
	+ **Fake Idol Kit:** This kit allows the user to create a convincing fake idol, and anonymously gift it to another player.
* **Ejector Seat:** This power enables the user to leave Tribal Council. They cannot be voted out, but also cannot vote at Tribal.
* **Extra Vote:** This power enables the user to vote twice at a particular Tribal Council.
