Random.org Survivor: Winners at War

*Random.org Survivor: Winners at War* was the fortieth season in the *series*.

The season took place in Palawan in the Philippines This is the sixth season to take place in the Philippines.

The twenty-two contestants, referred to as "castaways," were originally split up into two tribes of eleven. These tribes were named Baril and Tabak, Filipino words meaning "gun" and "sword," respectively. They represent the name of the camps and the separate teams with immunity and tribal council. On Day 7, there was a tribe expansion leading to three new tribes of six. The expanded tribe was named Laban, a Filipino word meaning "a fight." On Day 19, there was a tribe switch leading to two new tribes of seven with the Laban tribe dissolving. The merged tribe was named by the 11 castaways who made the merge. They named the tribe Barabak, a combination of the tribe names.

*Tonga* Sole Survivor Tim Knight beat out *Samoa* Sole Survivor Logan Shane in a close 5-4 vote in the Final Tribal Council.

## Twists

* **Expanded Cast:** For the first time, there will be 22 castaways instead of the maximum 20.
* **Increased Prize:** The winner of *Survivor: Winners at War* will receive $2,000,000, the biggest prize given in the series and reality television history.
* **Fire Tokens:** A new twist, Fire Tokens allow the castaways to purchase creature comforts, food, or game advantages.
* **Fire Token Advantages:** Throughout the game, advantages are hidden around camp, at challenges, or at tribal council. These advantages can be attempted to be sold to any player in the game, provided they have enough fire tokens and want to purchase the advantage. If the transaction is successful, the finder of the advantage receives the paid fire tokens. After the merge, some advantages can be sold to others or the player who finds it while others can only be sold to other players.
	+ **Temporary Two-Round Idol:**On Day 3, Logan found a small scroll near the water well which allowed him to sell a two-round only hidden immunity idol to any player of his choosing on the Tabak tribe. Logan sent the idol to Tripp who bought the idol for one fire token. At the Day 3 Winner Trial Tribal Council, Tripp played this idol and successfully negated six votes cast against home, eliminating Madelynn.
	+ **Safety Without Power:**On Day 5, Rob found a small scroll near the rice container which allowed him to sell the Safety Without Power advantage to any player on the Tabak tribe. Rob sent the advantage to Manny, priced at one fire token. Manny rejected the advantage offer and spent no tokens. On Day 12, Cierra found a small scroll near a piece at the immunity challenge which allowed her to sell the Safety Without Power advantage to any player on the losing tribe, even if herself if her own tribe lost. After the expanded Laban tribe lost, Cierra sent the Safety Without Power advantage to Kelli, priced at two fire tokens. Kelli bought the advantage for two tokens. On Day 21 before the immunity challenge, Cierra offered to buy the advantage back for three fire tokens, revealing she was the one who sent it. Kelli sold her the Safety Without Power advantage for three fire tokens. On Day 34, Cierra was blindsided and left with the Safety Without Power advantage in her pocket.
	+ **Vote Steal:**On Day 6, Kelli found a small scroll near a pile of coconuts which allowed her to sell a Vote Steal advantage to any player on the Tabak tribe. Kelli sent the advantage to Tamara, priced at two fire tokens. Tamara bought the Vote Steal advantage for two fire tokens. On Day 21, Tamara was blindsided and never used the advantage. On Day 23, Tim found a small scroll near the rice container which allowed him to sell a Vote Steal advantage to any player on the Tabak tribe. Tim sent the advantage to Johnny, priced at one fire token. Johnny bought the Vote Steal advantage for one fire token. Later that night at tribal council, Johnny used the Vote Steal advantage to steal Lois' vote and vote against her along with Clark, prompting Tripp to use the Laban Idol on Lois.
	+ **50/50 Coin:**On Day 9, Tripp found a small advantage hidden in the last part of the challenge which allowed him to sell a 50/50 Coin advantage (a coin flip will determine whether the coin becomes an immunity idol or powerless) to any player on the losing tribe, even himself if his tribe ended up losing the challenge. After the expanded Baril tribe lost, Tripp sent the advantage to his wife Lois, priced at one fire token. Lois bought the 50/50 Coin advantage for the same price. After being blindsided on Day 28, Lois handed the advantage to her husband Tripp to keep. On Day 36, Tripp used the 50/50 coin and flipped immunity. Because the coin becomes an immunity idol, it was subject to the idol nullifier which was played against Tripp, thus negating the 50/50 coin.
	+ **Extortion Advantage:**On Day 28, Cierra found a small scroll underneath the camp shelter which allowed her to gain and use the Extortion Advantage. Cierra had to set a price for someone else to pay in order to not lose their chance to win individual immunity and vote at tribal council. Cierra used the advantage against Tim, who paid the two fire token toll.
	+ **Idol Nullifier:**On Day 31, Cierra found a small scroll hidden in the rice bag which allowed her to sell an Idol Nullifier to another player. Cierra sent the advantage to Charolette, priced at two fire tokens. Charolette bought the advantage for two fire tokens. On Day 36, Charolette played the Idol Nullifier against Tripp which nullified his 50/50 coin advantage after having flipped safety. Tripp was voted out unanimously.
	+ **Immunity Challenge Advantage:**As part of the fire token purchase menu after the merge, any castaway can buy an advantage for any individual immunity challenge for one fire token each. Up to three challenge advantages can be purchased. However, if a castaway uses a challenge advantage, then they cannot earn fire tokens as a result of winning the challenge.
		- Charolette bought one individual immunity challenge advantage at one fire token for the Day 35 immunity challenge.
		- Kelli bought two individual immunity challenge advantages at one fire token each for the impromptu immunity challenge on Night 34. She bought two more for the Day 35 immunity challenge.
		- Janice bought two individual immunity challenge advantages at one fire token each for the impromptu immunity challenge on Night 34.

		- Cierra bought three individual immunity challenge advantages at one fire token each for the impromptu immunity challenge on Night 34.
	+ **Extra Rice/Food:**A variety of items can be purchased as food rewards. Tripp spent four fire tokens on Day 35 for extra rice for the entire tribe.
* **Winner Trials:**Due to the expanded cast of 22 castaways, the first two rounds of the game will force the losing tribe to vote out two of their members at two separate tribal councils a day apart. They are called the "Winner Trials" because the stakes are higher.
* **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.
	+ **Baril Idol:** Tim found the Baril Idol on Day 3 in a tree near camp. The idol required that he give half to another player before sundown. If he received the half back, then the idol would retain its power. Tim gave it to Rob who returned it on Day 4. At the first Day 34 tribal council, Tim played the Baril Idol, successfully negating five votes cast against him.
	+ **Tabak Idol:** Shea found the Tabak Idol on Day 5 in a tree near camp. The idol required that she give half to another player before sundown. If she received the half back, then the idol would retain its power. Shea gave it to Tripp to promise not to vote him out. Tripp returned it on the morning of Day 6, before the next tribal council. On Day 18, Shea was blindsided and never used the idol. Logan found the rehidden Tabak Idol on Day 22 in a tree near camp. Unlike the idol previously, this idol did not need to be split into halves or given to another player. On Day 36, Logan used the Tabak Idol to negate one vote cast against him.
	+ **Laban Idol:** Tripp found the Laban Idol on Day 13 in a tree near camp. Unlike the other two original idols, this idol did not need to be split into halves or given to another player. On Day 23, Tripp used the Laban Idol on his wife Lois, successfully negating three votes cast against her.
	+ **Barabak Idol:** Charolette found the Barabak Idol on Day 29 in a tree near camp. At the second Day 34 tribal council, Charolette played the Barabak Idol, successfully negating five votes cast against her.
