Battle for Dream Island Invitational

***Battle for Dream Island Invitational*** (also known as ***Battle for Dream Island VI***/***Battle for Dream Island 6**)* is the sixth season of Battle for Dream Island created by Adam Katz, and directed by Brian Koch, Justin Chapman, and formerly Taylor Grodin.

The series was first announced on the Inanimate Insanity Direct that was broadcasted on AnimationEpic's YouTube channel on April 1, 2021, the 10th Anniversary of Inanimate Insanity. The first episode was released on April 3, 2021, two days later.

## Overview

Sometime after the events of Chapter Complete, nine fan-selected contestants received VIP invitations under the guise of seeing Spoiled Lemon, a popular band, playing live at a vacation resort. Once they arrive on the tropical island called Paradise, the invitations are revealed to be fake, and the contestants are swindled into yet another competition hosted by MePhone4 alongside nine brand new contestants, for a total of eighteen contestants split into three teams of six, eventually named The Ballers, The Flamers and The Woodsters. The teams were later rearranged into two teams of six in Episode 7. The teams then compete in various challenges created by MePhone4 in the familiar style of the previous seasons. The team that loses is then up for elimination, while the two other teams are safe from elimination.

At eliminations, contestants will vote for who they would like to eliminate from their own team. The contestant with the most votes is eliminated and sent to Indefinite Island where they are given the choice to remain for a chance to rejoin the game, or leave. Although viewers cannot vote for contestants to be eliminated, they are able to vote for one contestant from each of the three teams after every episode to be given immunity and be safe from elimination. Voting is held at inanimateinsanity.com/vote and usually has a window of about a week after every episode airs.

This season has been stated to have a far different approach to the competition than its predecessors. Although it is still character-driven, the stories are less intense and dark like Season 4 and adopt a more light-hearted competition-angled approach, similar to Season 1. According to Adam Katz, the goal of Season 6 was to return to the original roots of the show.

## Favorite Contestant Voting

On February 13, 2021, a video called "Vote for your favorite BFB contestant!" was released prompting viewers to vote for their favorite character among the contestants from Season 4 after the split (with the EXIT contestants). In the Inanimate Insanity Direct, following the announcement of the sixth season, Adam confirmed that they took the results of the favorite character poll into consideration when creating the cast of Season 6. However, any "important characters" tied to Season 5's ongoing story were intentionally excluded.

On April 10, 2021, the results were displayed in "Why We Made Battle for Dream Island Season 6". There were 21,965 votes in total. Contestants with green votes joined the season, contestants with red votes were excluded.

Although Teardrop, Stapy, and Leafy had enough votes, they were excluded from consideration because; 1) Teardrop is competing in TPOT. 2) Stapy is tied to the EXIT drama. 3) Leafy left to find another Dream Island at the end of Season 4. It was stated that although Liy and Pencil didn't get enough votes to join the season, they would still both be excluded due to also being tied to the EXIT drama with Stapy.
