## Season Summary

On Dreamland, Kirby and his allies Gooey & Prince Fluff immediately felt on the outside of the tribe given the vast majority of villains on the tribe.  However the villains were fractured and Kirby's alliance managed to avoid the elimination the first vote by exposing Daroach's alliance of minor villains and their plan to oust King Dedede.  Daroach was voted out first, but the villains united to send home Prince Fluff, who they suspected either had or had a clue for the immunity idol.  After being exiled, Dedede found the immunity idol, and the tribe went on a win streak before having to go back to tribal where Marx was voted out for playing both sides between Dedede and Meta Knight.  After being kidnapped, Meta Knight discovered from Andrew that the immunity idol was on exile but no longer there, leading him to assume that Dedede had it.  When both tribes had to go to tribal, Meta Knight organized a hit on Dedede's alliance using his suspicion of the immunity idol to get people on his side.  Meta Knight also pressured Dedede to play the idol, which he did, but the votes were split against him and Chef Kawaski and he was sent home.  In an act of revenge, Dedede organized the elimination of Taranza, Meta Knight's closest ally.  Dedede and Meta Knight came head to head at the next tribal council, with Dedede ultimately being voted out, while Knuckle Joe found the idol rehidden on exile island.

On Corneria, The Starwolf alliance found themselves out numbered early on, with challenge liabaility and camp bother Pigma being voted out.  General Pepper was booted next after struggling with the survival aspect of the game and becoming to weak for challenges.  After this, Falco and Peppy created a secret alliance with Andrew and Leon hoping it would fly under the radar and take themselves to the final four.  They picked apart both alliances, first voting out Panther, then Slippy Toad, which raised the suspicions of both Fox and Wolf.  A kidnapped Meta Knight revealed to Fox that Andrew told him he didn't have the idol, which everyone on the tribe thought he had, in the interest of causing chaos.  Fox and Wolf reluctantly put aside their differences, and used the information to persuade Peppy into betraying his alliance (who mainly agreed to the alliance believing Andrew had the idol and would use it for him if need be). Peppy flipped and Andrew was voted out.  Facing another tribal council, Fox and Wolf were torn between voting out Falco or Leon, neither wanting to vote out their respective ally out.  Krystal and Tricky found themselves in the middle and voted out Falco, thinking that keeping him in the game would undermine their own positions within Fox's alliance.

When the tribes merged, both tribes seemed to stay together and vote along tribal lines.  Meta Knight, after multiple kidnappings, wound up flipping on his tribe feeling he had stronger ties with Wolf, Leon, & Tricky.  This resulted in Knuckle Joe's elimination, who was voted out with the idol in his pocket.  Fox, Krystal, & Peppy felt it would be better to work with Kirby and tried to make a move to take out Wolf, but Magolor & Bandana Dee also felt it would be better to team up with the other villains, and Tricky didn't want to cross tribal line, resulting in Gooey's elimination.  After Meta Knight finally lost an immunity challenge, Magolor and Bandana Dee used the opportunity to blindside Meta Knight with the hopes Krystal would also play her idol, which Magolor discovered while searching her bag.  Meta Knight was voted out, but Krystal held onto her idol.  Irritated, Magolor targeted Krystal next, not worried whether or not she played her idol assuming she'd vote for Wolf.  He pulled Kirby to his side by arguing that Fox's numbers needed to be dwindled if he wanted a shot at getting to the end.  Krystal was voted out, but not with her idol as she left it with Peppy, which he used to send home Magolor, (who thought Peppy would be the last one to use an idol).  Fox attempted to pull Kirby back to his side, but Kirby stayed on Wolf's side temporarily to send home Tricky, who was playing the best social game out of everyone left.  He and Banadana Dee then became torn between voting out either Wolf or Fox, but they ultimately voted out Wolf.  Leon appeared to be the next to go but he found the idol as the last person exiled and revealed it at the final tribal he could play it.  He hoped the sudden reveal would force people to vote out Fox, but it was Banadana Dee who took the fall.  Leon won the final immunity challenge and the three starfox contestants stuck together voting out Kirby.

At the final trial council, Peppy was widely ignored by most of the jury, percieved as a goat carried by Krystal & Fox, crediting Krystal with Magolor's elimination by providing him with the idol.  Leon was criticized for being unable to make new alliances and relationships whenever he lost the numbers, but was praised for his late agressive gameplay, and Wolf vouched that most moves he made involved just as much involvement from Leon.  Fox recieved mixed reactions across the board, with some praising him for being a loyal ally, while others felt he was too trustworthy and Kirby in particular felt he tarnished his loyal reputation by not voting with him in the final tribal.  Some praised him for making it to the end of the game while always having a big target on his back, while others felt he was often blind to the moves being made around and that the size of his target was overexaggerated.  In the end Leon was voted the winner with Fox coming in second and Peppy in third.
