LogVivor: Marshall Islands

***LogVivor: Marshall Islands*** is the first season of LogVivor.

Amidst the hundreds of islands and atolls that make up the tropical Marshall Islands, this season featured a small cast, no tribe swaps, and no overlaying themes or twists for its inaugural season of the game. With nothing but the classic format of the game at hand, this season saw old-school gameplay with a modern spin through iconic idol plays, vies for power, and the rises and falls of alliances and players.

Will was crowned LogVivor's first Sole Survivor defeating Geneva and Keegan in a 5-2-0 vote. To date, it has produced 5 returning players (Will, Luke, Eli, Paris, and Dre) for subsequent future seasons.

It is followed by LogVivor: Mexico

## Season Summary

In December of 2021, 14 castaways were abandoned amongst the hundreds of islands and atolls that make up the archipelagic country of the Marshall Islands to kick off the very first season of the franchise! Upon their arrival, the 14 players were split into 2 tribes, Majuro and Yokwe.

In the early days of the game, Majuro struggled socially as it became clear the inactivity of Mekhi and Keegan and their lack of conversing with people angered the rest of the tribe especially Sammii and Sarah. Yokwe, on the other hand saw the emergence of powerful duos and relationships such as Eli and Dre, Trevah and Paris, Paris and Dre and seemed to get along very well as a tribe. Despite their early struggles, Majuro came together to win the first immunity challenge. For Yokwe's first visit to Tribal Council, it became pretty clear that Hilary was an easy vote to go due to her inactivity. Feeling close to Hilary and seeing an opportunity to take out a big threat first, Trevah however decided to save Hilary by playing his idol on her. In an extremely flashy move, Trevah and Hilary voted together idoling Romeo out in the franchise's very first Tribal Council. After the results of the tribal were announced, the message became clear that the game was indeed on.

Due to the tribe's inactive members, Majuro would go on to lose the next immunity challenge. In a reflection of what Yokwe's first tribal was intended to look like, every member of Majuro stuck together to target Mekhi for his inactivity and he was eliminated in a complete unanimous 7-0 vote. The trend of targeting inactive players continued as Yokwe lost the next immunity challenge and victoriously booted Hilary completely unanimously as well 6-0. Losing their third out of four challenges because Eli and Dre decided to intentionally throw the challenge to take out Trevah for being the most likely to flip to Majuro's side come a merge, Yokwe continued their losing streak and were sent back to Tribal Council. With the numbers dwindling, Dre included Paris in on the plan and they decided to throw out Geneva's name to Trevah as a decoy. Before they could tell Eli, Eli heard the decoy plan through Trevah and felt left out. Becoming suspicious about Dre's control of the tribe, Eli gathered Trevah and Geneva, exposed the plans, and turned the tables on his former ally sending Dre home with an advantage he just found in his pocket.

With only 4 people out and 10 left in the game, Yokwe and Majuro officially merged to become the mouthfully named HeatherIsAPolarBearInTheSpringFanClub tribe. Entering the merge down in numbers 6-4, it seemed grim for Yokwe's chances in the game but Keegan soon began to bond a lot with Yokwe's former members. Eventually, a majority alliance with an even 3/3 former Yokwe and Majuro split consisting of Eli, Paris, Trevah, Keegan, Sammii, and Luke was formed and they set their sights on targeting Will. As the first merge tribal began to loom, Luke and Sammii became suspicious of Keegan's relationship with the former Yokwe members and them wanting to target a former Majuro in Will and decided to flip on the alliance to stay Majuro strong. Every former Majuro minus Keegan set their sights on Paris deeming her the most socially competent former Yokwe and with everyone else splitting their votes, Majuro had the majority and Paris was voted out as the first member of the jury with Luke and Sammii emerging as a powerful duo. This vote would eventually become Will's wake-up call to actually start playing the game.

Feeling on the bottom of the old Majuro alliance, Justin and Sarah decided to flip on their former tribemates and stick with old Yokwe plus Keegan for the upcoming vote. Because of their role in the previous vote, this new voting block decided to target Sammii between her and Luke. Fearing he was being voted out over Sammii, Luke infamously gave away his idol away to Sammii to help her in the game if he was gone and in one of the most unfortunate moves in LogVivor history, Sammii was blindsided with Luke's idol in her pocket instead. Though he was able to find his rebidden idol, Luke and Will were delegated to the bottom of the tribe. In the wake of Eli winning his third immunity challenge in a row, tensions began to rise between him and Will in a clash of personalities and game positions. Going into tribal, old Yokwe plus Keegan's plan was to target Justin, but after multiple plan leaks and idol bluffs, Sarah and Justin decided to flip back to old Majuro sticking to Luke and Will's side and the group decided to target Trevah. In all the paranoia, old Yokwe's new plan landed on splitting between Luke and Will. To get even more numbers on their side, Luke lied to Eli claiming Trevah was responsible for his plan leak. This would prove to be successful as Eli got his numbers to flip on Trevah and Trevah was voted unanimously. Eli's immunity streak then came to an end and a target was immediately placed on his back. After just flipping on one of his former numbers, Eli was unable to overcome the target as old Majuro minus Keegan stuck together and Eli was finally voted out with Luke and Sarah playing their idols to ensure his departure. Once again bouncing between alliances, Sarah and Justin decided Luke was too big of a jury threat to go any further and pulled in Geneva to successfully vote out their former tribemate. Catching wind of them playing the middle, Luke and Will split their votes between Justin and Sarah but it was far too late.

Heading into the Finale, Sarah emerged as a frontrunner but there was still a lot of game to be played. After winning yet another immunity challenge and finding two of the rebidden idols on separate occasions, Will decided to leverage his two idols to increase his chances of winning. Feeling he had higher chances of winning final immunity over Sarah, Will came up with a plan to target Justin. To gather numbers for the rest of the game, Will separately told both Geneva and Keegan they were receiving votes but he was to play an idol saving them and in return they should take him to Final 3. This plan proved successful as Justin was voted out unanimously and Will had earned Geneva and Keegan's complete trust. Between Will and Sarah, winning the season ultimately came down to which one of them could win Final Immunity. In the end, Will narrowly beat Sarah after tying 10-10-0-0 in the challenge and with the risk of her winning the game ultimately too high, Sarah was voted out as the final member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Will and Geneva were the only ones at the attention of the jury's questionings as Keegan was written off as too inactive and too much of a coaster. In the end, Geneva just didn't have the resume as the big players of the season and despite Will actually starting to play the game only halfway through, Will was crowned LogVivor's first ever Sole Survivor with a jury vote of 5-2-0.
