## Season Summary

The season's preswap was pretty hectic with the Poseidon tribe narrowly losing the first challenge and being faced with the first tribal of the season. They voted off Spark almost unanimously for being inactive but right agter they were suddenly surprised with being forced to vote another member out. The tribe unanimously voted out Cooper for being annoying. The Poseidon tribe then proceed to lose the next challenge and by this point a majority alliance had formed and decided to target Salty for not being that social. The tribe was then forced to vote out another member and they voted Dragon out for being in the minority. The Poseidon tribe then finally manage to win a challenge thus sending the Apollo tribe to their first tribal. The vote was chaotic as people were very split but Logan, fearing the majority was on him played his Weakened Ares's advantage in a last attempt to save himself but it was in vain as he was voted out. The tribe was then forced to vote out another member where they almost uanimously voted out Ferr with the Aphrodite's Love advantage in his pocket.

The swap phase of the game was equally as hectic with as the new Hera tribe found themselves at tribal where the voted out Archie after a majority alliance of Willow, Sheaman, I8 and Chris formed and they felt that they were the least socially connected with Archie. The Athena tribe then lost the next challenge which led to Kellen getting voted out after Cubes wanted to play be tribe lines. The two tribes then competed for individual immunity in the 'STAB!' challenge as they would both be attending a joint tribal. Blank won for Athena and Chris won for Hera. At tribal, the alliance of Willow, I8, Sheaman and Chris dictated the vote after they pulled in Blank and sent Theo home after the rest of the cast was split. Thylio then quit after Theo's vote off and the game then reached the halfway point.

The 10 remaining castaways then merged into the Henosis tribe and the merge kicked off with the 'Find the Kanye' challenge which Sheaman was able to win. A new majority alliance of Pixel, Cornbread, I8, Willow, Sheaman and Chris formed and sent home Tomcat due to him targeting I8. The next challenge was a scavenger hunt which Cornbread won but it was then revealed that the 8 castaways who didn't win immunity would be split into two groups and each group would attend a separate tribal with Cornbread attending both. Willow, I8, Sheaman, Pixel and Cornbread all voted for 9th place and Blank, Ginger, Chris, Cubes and Cornbread all voted for 8th place. The first block voted out Sheaman after he was caught trying to flip on the majority alliance and targeting I8 and the second block voted out Ginger as nobody was really close to him. The final 7 challenge was where castaways had to name a roman counterpart to a greek god and Cornbread ended up winning for the second time. The majority alliance then targeted Cubes for being in the minority and Willow and I8 voted blank incase of an idol play. The next challenge was counting to 15 which Cornbread managed to win yet again. The majority alliance then began to get concerned over Pixel being a threat so they turned on her and Willow stealing her and Cornbread's votes with the Ares's Destruction advantage sealed her fate. The final 5 challenge was a hangman challenge which Willow won, breaking Cornbread's streak of challenge wins. The tribe was pretty much in agreement that Cornbread had to go here but Cornbread managed to convince Willow to play her Soteria’s Salvation advantage which idoled out Chris 2-1-0. The final 4 challenge was to complete a 48 piece black jigsaw which Cornbread managed to do and secured himself a spot at the final tribal council. Willow was then unanimously voted out for being too big of a threat to win. I8, though having a huge impact on the game, was someone the jury viewed as a goat, as his gameplay was not as visible as others. Blank was also seen as a goat, though some praised him for never giving up and always fighting but Cornbread was by far a very dominant player, winning 4 immunity challenges and convincing Willow to idol him took the jury by storm and he was awarded the title of Twisted Speed Survivor.
