Season 1: Final Fantasy VII

Season 1 Logo

## Development

This was the first season of **Myka's VideORG** **games** themed around **Final Fantasy VII**

## Twists/Changes

* **Split Tribal Council**: For the final 8 cycle, the 8 castaways would be split into two tribes of four in which both tribes would go to tribal council. The twist to this was that there would be a greed challenge available for both tribes. If a player were to take the greed, they would not be able to vote at said tribal council

## Season Summary

What can I say? Your first is always a special one. Sure, the pre merge wasn’t the most exciting, as inactivity and poor social decisions lead to easy and predictable votes. But the post merge portion? Man these guys came to play. Epic advantage plays, stunning blindsides, and a finale showdown that ruined drafts and spectator hearts alike. All culminating in a truly deserving winner in Tony. What’s left to say? You always remember your first!

## Trivia

* Lulu was the first ever boot in VideORG games history
* Meta is the only person to date that has been banned from the server as a former player and issuing threats after being voted out
* This is the only season up to date (post season 3) that started with 3 tribes

## Episode Guide

**Episode 1: “Almost at Full Power”**

EPISODE 1 Previously on... Survivor! 18 people were cast to be the first winner of Myka's VideORG games. There were divided into 3 tribes. On the purple Wutai tribe we have Lemons, Noah, Zoey, Meta, Spy and ED. On the Yellow Nibelheim tribal we have Z, VC, Tonny, Thien, Sonic and Kyle. Finally, on the red Midgar tribe we had Lulu, Jeff, Jimx, Bod, Toby and Alex. On Wutai Lemon and Noah started looking for the idol. Both of them quickly discovered the first couple of clues, however, it was Lemons who found it. He learned that he had to share half of his idol with someone to make it work, and he decided to give half of the idol to Noah. On Nibelheim Tony and Z also tried to look for the idol, however neither of them had any success. While overall it seemed to be a pretty quiet tribe, everyone named VC as the main target if they lose, including VC himself. At Midgar the first alliance of the game was born where Jimx, Box and Toby make #deleted-channel however, Jimx doesn't know to trust them because he doesn't like the idea of making alliances and believed he should not be screwing anyone over. At the immunity challenge, the contestants receive notice that they must choose one person to go to a duel. Midgar sent Jimx, Wutai sent Lemons and Nibelheim sent Z. While the battle remained close, ultimately JimX came in last, sending Midgar to tribal. After losing the tribe challenge, the Midgar tribe start to play the game, where the #deleted-channel target Lulu for inactivity, while she targeted Jeff. Although everyone made her believe she was safe, she was voted out in an unanimous 5-1 vote. 17 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

**Episode 2: “Back to the Grind”- Tobi**

Previously on.... Survivor! After a unanimous vote out, the Midgar tribe returned to camp sad, but ready to tackle a new challenge. But that wasn’t all they were hoping to tackle, as Tobi and Jeff both began a search for the idol, leading to much frustration and exasperation from Tobi. At Nibelheim, a new alliance was forming between Kyle, Z, and Tony. They may not have a name, but they did begin to gather a target, with frustration towards VC’s bluntness and Thien’s inactivity. Meanwhile, at Wutai, things were iffy with personality clashes and inactivity. However, more interestingly, Lemons chose to give HIS half of the HII to Noah to complete it, despite him being the one to find it in the first place. While interesting, neither party seemed to give any reason why. At the immunity challenge, a 24 hour long battle brought tensions high. Tobi got upset with his tribe for all abandoning him (though he did not let them know) and VC got mad at the hosts. Meta got upset because he couldn’t figure out how to post a website link, and all three tribes had moments of highs and lives. Ultimately though, Toni’s heroic effort for Midgar and Nibelheim’s combined effort of VC, Tony, Kyle, and Z ultimately led them both to victory, sending Wutai to tribal council. The tribe had many personality clashes with Meta and wanted to vote him out. His issue with links and his abrupt nature rubbed people wrong. However, Zoey received a strike for inactivity and ultimately asked to be voted out. While Noah didn’t like the idea and stuck with the Meta vote, and Ed was very torn, eventually Zoey got her wish, and was voted out 4-2. But at the vote out, Meta decided to call out two tribe mates (Noah and Ed) which once again escalated tensions in the tribe. Will this haunt them? 16 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

**Episode 3: “Just Vibing”- Lemons**

Previously on.... Survivor! Meta’s actions are tribal immediately put him on the outs, to the point of his tribe actually openly mocking him to each other, and it seemed clear his days were numbered without a big shake up. In fact, Wutai even created an alliance of Noah, Ed, and Lemons with the main goal of knocking out Meta. Nibelheim was also at the end of their ropes with both VC (behavior) and Thien (inactivity), and multiple alliances sprung up as a result. The trio of Kyle, Tony, and Z talked of making a foursome with Sonic, while Sonic also made a trio with Z and Tony, putting those two in the power position. Meanwhile, Tony was able to discover the hidden immunity idol, and shared half with Z. Jeff, Bod, and Ed also continued idol searches in their respective tribes, but to no avail. At the immunity challenges, tribes learned it would be a double elimination episode, with two tribes going to tribal council and the winning tribe getting immunity and reward. To put it simply, the immunity challenge was an utter massacre, as Midgar easily won and both Thien and VC received strikes. Midgard reward gave them a choice- team reward of getting to sit in and watch both other tribal councils, or individual reward where one person would privately get dm’ed an idol clue at random. They unanimously chose individual with the agreement the person who got the clue would share it. Alex was against the individual idea but didn’t want to rock the boat. Ultimately, Jeff got the clue and chose not to share it, causing paranoia and finger pointing on Midgar, with Bod blanking Alex, Alex blaming Jeff, and JimX wanting to be voted out. In the end though, To I just beat out Jeff to finding the hidden immunity idol, and has yet to tell anyone. At both tribals councils, the vote was clear and unanimous, with Meta getting voted out 4-1 on Wutai and Thien getting voted out 5-1 on Nibelheim. 14 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

**Episode 4: “Like All Stars Aligned” - Ed**

Previously on... Survivor As all three tribes were preparing to repair their tribe after some recent loses, the game got a shakeup, as three tribes became two. Cosmo Canyon was formed with Jeff, JimX, Lemons, Noah, Sonic, Spy, and Tony, while Rocket Town consisted of Alex, Bod, Ed, Kyle, Tobi, VC, and Z. Fearing he could be a target, Ed went it to panic mode. However, it was unwarranted as nearly the entire tribe wanted to work with him. Former Midgar came together quick in an alliance, but a second alliance soon formed of Alex, Kyle, Tobi, and Z as well. Quickly, people started discussing VC as a possible target due to his antics on his old tribe. Meanwhile at Cosmo Canyon, Noah Lemons and Spy also stuck to an alliance of former tribe mates, but quickly Jeff made a trio with Noah and Lemons as well. At the immunity challenge, both teams cane incredible close to winning in battleship, as they each had just one ship left to sink. But ultimately Cosmo Canyon came out victorious, sending Rocket Town to tribal council. Knowing he had to share his idol, Tobi decided upon share with Bod, to build trust, and Bod quickly reciprocated the trust by sending the piece back forming a whole idol for Tobi. The discussion on the vote when quickly, however. The tribe was offended at VC for coming on and insulting their performance after they lost, and many were rubbed the wrong way by his rudeness previously as well. The vote seemed even more simple when VC asked to be voted out. Although Tobi got paranoid, ultimately they vote was clear and VC was voted out 6-1. 13 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

**Episode 5: “Call Me Nick Wilson”- Jeff**

Previously on... Survivor! Cosmo Canyon was sitting pretty, but that didn’t stop alliances from being made, and both Lemons and Noah found themself in both. First formed was the Noah Lemons Jeff #deleted-channel alliance, followed by a four person alliance of Tony Sonic Lemons and Noah. Though they were sitting pretty, Noah and Lemons continued to run strategic scenarios. Meanwhile, an exhausted Rocket Town returned to camp from tribal council, only to immediately be hit by the next immunity challenge. This challenge required three heroes from each tribe. Tobi Bod and Z were essentially forced into their role by an inactive tribe, but Lemons Tony and JimX offered to step up for there’s. In a battle of musical knowledge, the competition started even but by the end was a blowout, sending Rocket Town right back to tribal council. However, for the first time, tribal council wasn’t predetermined. There was no obvious vote out, which sent camp into chaos. Tobi and Alex seemed to be on one side, Kyle and Z on the other, and Bod and Ed in the middle. But lines were a bit blurred with overlapping alliances between each of these combos. A split vote plan was hatched first, with Z Kyle Bod and Ed splitting between Tobi and Alex. However, Bod didn’t like that and told them, and the three decided to turn the vote on Kyle since Z was more helpful. Ed wasn’t sure where to vote, and it seemed Bod got thrown under the bus as well. To add to the chaos, Alex got a strike and self vote for not voting in time. But in the end Tobi Ed and Bod held strong, sending Kyle home 3 to 2 and stunning Z. 12 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

**Episode 6: “I guess this is My Life Now.”- Z**

Previously on... Survivor! A struggling Rocket Town returned from a split tribal, and Z immediately went into damage control. Tobi told Z he still wanted to work with him, while Z told Bod and Ed that he voted for Kyle, not Bod. Bod seemed to believe it, but Ed was far more skeptical. Z meanwhile was just praying for a merge to reunite with Tony. At Cosmo Canyon, things were more laid back, with most strategy focused on numbers for the merge. Lemons specifically was considering cutting out Spy, in an effort to cut down his OG Wutai numbers as a way to be less threatening. At the immunity challenge, the contestants quickly caught on that the hangman puzzles were all quotes from the game, which resulted in quick solving and Rocket Town winning immunity. Spy and Sonic both appeared frustrated and upset with the challenge, which seemed to cause additional riffs in the tribe. In the end though, the vote became pretty easy, as Spy was perceived as inactive as well as rude, and his 10 orgs were too much in the way of him being helpful. Thus, he was unanimously voted off. 11 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

**Episode 7: “Cake, Obviously!”- JimX** Previously on... Survivor! The tribes returned to camp to learn that they had merged, and named their new tribe “Yul”. Tobi fairly quickly found the merge idol hidden in a sentence unscramble hidden in strikes, and learned he had earned a cursed idol that would negate half the votes cast against him. The rest of the tribe set about making various interactions of alliances, none of which seemed to be all that loyal. In fact, 5 alliances were made in total, not including the many from pre-merge. However, it seemed like most came to a consensus agreement that a Midgar OG needed to go, although Z was another name being brought up a lot. At the immunity challenge, Z ended the question of who to vote out when he won immunity in Codebreakers, sending the other 10 to potential danger. However, Alex received a second strike for not doing the challenge, and the merge tribe agreed to keep it simple and vote him out. The vote was set to be unanimous, but then Alex received his third and final strike for not voting, forcing him to be medivaced out of the game and cancelling tribal council. 10 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

**Episode 8: “These people are so stupid”- Lemons**

Previously on... Survivor! After a medivac, the cast was ready to make some big moves. It seemed there were a couple sides eating with each other, while OG Wutai was siting pretty in the middle as swing votes. Meanwhile, Ed was moving to make targets of Z and JimX as former Midgar’s. At the immunity challenge, most castaways did fairly well coming up with unique ideas for scattegories. However, Ed saw his plans unravel in a flash with both Z and JimX scoring top 2 in the competition. In the end, JimX took home immunity, saving himself a potential vote out in the process. Back at camp, several agendas started flying around. Tony, Sonic and Z wanted to use the opportunity to take out a big threat in Bod, whose relationship to Ed was concerning. Meanwhile, Bod, Jeff, Ed, and Tobi wanted to take out another easy target in Sonic and further split Nibelheim, which JimX reluctantly on board as well. This left Noah and Lemons in the middle, the exact position they hoped to be in at merge. At first, it seemed they were going to vote out Sonic, which Tony and Z were very reluctantly agreeing to, as they feared Tobi was trying to split the votes in an idol play. However, at the last moment Lemons extended an olive brach to Tony, which convinced Tony to change his vote AND play an idol on Sonic. This prompted Tobi to play HIS idol on himself. Which left only 4 votes left, all of which cast on Bod, sending him home. 9 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

**Episode 9: “Far From Over.”- Z**

Previously on... Survivor! A crazy tribal led to a little bit of downtime. Except for Tobi, who was incredibly hurt by being blindsided the last vote and sad he wasn’t on to save Bod. He ripped into Z especially, but also Tony. Z took this incredibly hard emotionally, really hoping to repair his friendship with Tobi over anything game related. A reward challenge saw a return of the survivor auction, where many people won items and advantages. The big disadvantage went to Lemons, however, who lost his vote at tribal. Luckily for him, Sonic won an extra vote and was willing to use it. Tobi and Noah, meanwhile, lied about the items they won to keep them secret from others. Despite Noah winning, the immunity challenge highlighted more issues, as Touchy Subjects Illuminated people’s positions in the game. Tony was voted running the game, Tobi the biggest threat, and Sonic the biggest goat, among other categories. This terrified Tobi and Tony, who both felt their target growing incredibly large. They each scrambled to pull numbers into their side. Tony had Noah, Sonic, and Z while Tobi had JimX, Jeff, and Ed. And both sides believed they had Lemons on their side, especially ironic given his lack of vote. With Tobi’s side targeting Tony and Tony’s side targeting JimX, we were in for a showdown. Tobi considered playing his idol, but was under the impression Lemons could vote on a revote in case of a tie, which he expected at 4-4. However, Sonic played his extra vote, and to the shock of Tobi’s alliance, JimX went home 5-4. 8 are left... who will be voted out, tonight?

**Episode 10: “And Now Here We Are.”- Sonic**

Previously on... Survivor! Another exciting tribal brought people to a very precarious position on the tribe. Tony felt on the outs and lied to, as did Z, while Lemons felt in complete control. That all changed however, when another shocking twist was dropped on the castaways. The final 8 learned that they would be attending a split tribal with randomly drawn teams. Both tribes would vote someone out and both players would be going to the jury. On top of that, all alliance chats were closed off and any communication with people on the other tribe was forbidden. The draw found Ed feeling a sense of de ja vou, as he again got separated from his allies when he was placed with Tobi, Sonic, and Z. Meanwhile, Tony also felt in a tough spot when he was placed with Jeff, Noah, and Lemons. The immunity challenge raised tensions even further when the cast learned they would be playing Greed. In this iteration, both tribes were offered an immunity necklace. The first person to take the necklace got immunity, but would lose their vote at final 6. If no one on the tribe took it, they would receive reward. Both tribes had someone take the necklace immediately, in Ed and Tony. On the new Rocket Town tribe, Sonic was in a tough spot as the easy vote, and this was made even worse when Tobi played his cursed idol, negating half the votes against him. This left Sonic as the boot 3-0, becoming the second member of the jury. At Cosmo Canyon things weren’t quite so simple. Jeff believed he’d be okay and that Lemons and maybe Tony was with him, so he didn’t campaign. Sadly he was incorrect, as both flipped on him leaving him voted out 3-1 and becoming the third member of the jury. 6 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

**Episode 11: “Someone Hold Me” - Tobi**

Previously on... Survivor! With both Tony and Ed losing their votes, the next immunity challenge was more critical then ever. Tobi felt it was so or die, as did Ed. The plan to take out Ed, meanwhile, was already set in motion by Z, as he applied his challenge disadvantage on Ed, knocking down his time to complete the challenge. However, Ed overcame all and by just 3 points, beat out Tobi for immunity. It seemed the group might be split, with any of Tony, Tobi, or Z getting votes. However, behind the scenes, Lemons and Noah were working to pit Tony/Z and Tobi against each other, creating a 2-1-1 split vote to avoid rocks. Tobi, meanwhile, began to do math on revote and realized that if he could get 2 votes on Lemons, he might be in good shape on a revote. So he began to campaign this idea to Z. However, Z simply did not trust Tobi in this move. And Tony was preparing for the worst, that he would be voted out. However, Lemons and Noah got their way when a 2-1-1 vote did stick, taking out Z in the process and leaving Tobi quite vulnerable moving forward. 5 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

**Episode 12: “Winning is so Boring.” - Lemons**

With only 5 people left, strategy was limited and target were mostly set, so immunity became crucial. Well, for everyone except Noah, who intentionally took a strike since he already had a HII. Ed and Lemons also gave up in the challenge, leaving only Tobi and Tony left, both of whom felt it was make of break for them. Ultimately, Tony dominated the challenge, and earned himself a spot in the final 4. Tobi and Tony tried their best to flip Ed, and worried about Lemons having an idol they targeted Noah instead. However, Ed wouldn’t budge and with Noah playing his idol anyway, Tobi went home 3-0. At final 4 it was clear Tony had to win to save himself. Tobi has even left him a parting gift of information guides to try and help him. Ultimately, Tony’s dedication paid off and he won yet another immunity, sending the Wutai three to eat their own. Tony finally convinced Ed that Lemons was too big of a threat to keep around, and thus the fate of Lemons rested in Noah’s hands. In the end, Noah decided to take out the biggest threat instead of giving him a chance at fire, and a lemons was voted out 3-1. The final 3 reminisced about their fallen comrades during rites of passage, which led into a visit from loved ones to energize them for the final immunity challenge, an endurance comp. Ed dropped out fairly early, but both Noah and Tony battled on through the night for 17 hours. Ultimately, Tony edged Noah out and earned himself a spot at Final Tribal Council. Noah asked to be voted out quickly, and Tony respected his wishes, sending him to Ponderosa and taking Ed to the final 2. Only two remain... Tony, the comp threat with strong strategy and loyal allies, and Ed, the under the radar threat with a kind heart and honest relationships. Who will conquer all and win the title of soul survivor? Find out tonight, on Survivor: Final Fantasy VII, the reunion! @recaps

**Episode 13: Finale and Reunion: “Who is Raccoon Man?” - Tony**

Previously on... Survivor! The stage was set for a battle royale. David vs. Goliath. Tony vs Ed! In the end though, it seemed to fizzle out as much of the jury had their mind set, with Lemons even citing before reading opening statements. Ed fought had, but he couldn’t swing enough jurors and the result was a 5-2 Tony win. At the reunion, Myka announced the season awards: Fan Favorite - Lemons Hero - Ed Villain - Tobi POTS - Lemons Black Horse/Underdog - Noah Best Move - 2-1-1 split vote Worst Move - Tobi’s incorrect idol play Best Blindside - Jeff Blindside Most Robbed Pre-juror - Kyle Most Robbed Juror - Tobi As Season 1 draws to a close, Season 2 is in the works.
