Random.org Survivor: Palawan

*Random.org Survivor: Palawan - Unfinished Business* was the thirty-ninth season in the *series*.

The season took place in Palawan in the Philippines This is the fifth season to take place in the Philippines, but the third group of islands to be a location, therefore technically being a new location.

The twenty contestants, referred to as "castaways," were originally split up into two tribes of ten. These tribes were named Quezon and Rasa, after a beach and island respectively. They represent the name of the camps and the separate teams with immunity and tribal council. On Day 15, there was a tribe expansion leading to three new tribes of five. The expanded tribe was named Narra, a province in Palawan. The merged tribe was named by the 11 castaways who made the merge. They named the tribe Quearrasa, a combination of the three tribe names.

Crisis Communications Manager Austin Whyte beat out Tabitha Vega and Cedric Vance in a 6-4-0 vote in the Final Tribal Council.

## Twists

* **Cast Next Season as Additional Prize:**The winner of this season will play in the next season to film, therefore the votes will be read on-location to reveal the winner.
* **Legacy Advantage:** The Legacy Advantage allows the holder to have immunity at either the Final 11 or Final 6 tribal councils. Derek picked up the Legacy Advantage on Day 1 on the boat at the marooning. Derek was voted out on Day 21, willing the Legacy Advantage to Tabitha. Tabitha played the Legacy Advantage at the Final 6, however, no votes were cast against her.
* **Hidden Immunity Idols:** There is one hidden immunity idol hidden at random places in, near, or around camp. If found with a clue, the idol may be hidden in a spot in camp. After idols are successfully played or leave the game, new idols are hidden the same way.
	+ **Quezon Idol:** Cedric found the Quezon Idol on Day 3 hidden as part of the cover on the water well. Cedric played the Quezon Idol on Day 36, successfully negating three votes cast against him.
	+ **Rasa Idol:**  Erik found the Rasa Idol on Day 9 hidden as part of the cover on the water well. Erik played the Rasa Idol on himself at the Day 26 tribal council following Antonio's idol play, however, no votes were cast against him.
	+ **Narra Idol:** Antonio found the Narra Idol on Day 20 hidden as part of the cover on the water well. Antonio played the Narra Idol on himself at the Day 26 tribal council, successfully negating six votes cast against him.
	+ **Quearrasa Idol:** Antonio found the Quearrasa Idol on Day 31 hidden at the immunity challenge after finding a clue on Day 30 specifying its location. On Day 35, Antonio was blindsided and left with the Quearassa Idol in his pocket. Austin found the rehidden Quearrasa Idol on Day 36 hidden at tribal council after finding a clue on the same day specifying its location. Austin played the Quearrasa Idol at the Day 36 tribal council following Cedric's idol play, however, no votes were cast against him.
* **Joint Tribal Council:**On Day 19, only one tribe won immunity with the other two tribes attending tribal council to vote out one person collectively.
* **Double Tribal Council:** On Day 35, the merged tribe split into two temporary tribes, chosen by random draw for the reward challenge, that would attend two separate tribal councils. Because of this twist, one person from each temporary tribe would win individual immunity.
