Cutthroat: Djibouti

## Series Chronology

***Cutthroat Survivor: Djibouti - Idol Island*** is the first season of the *Cutthroat Survivor* series. The game began on Friday, November 2nd, 2018 and ended on Monday, December 17th, 2018, when Bee L was named the winner by a 6-3-1 vote over AJ B and Isaiah G.

## Production

* For the inaugural season, Mearl and Stoner D started as the original hosts of the series.

## Twists and Advantages

* **Immunity Idols:**Everybody started with a Hidden Immunity Idol. There would be no other idols hidden in the game. Idols can be played after the votes are cast but before they are read.
* **Super Idol**: Players were allowed to trade in their idol to put their name in a lottery for a Super Idol. The Super Idol can be played on the holder after the votes are read.
* **Golden Coins**: Players were allowed to trade their idols in for a share of golden coins. Golden coins cancel 1 vote each if played on a player before the votes are read.

* **Golden Immunity Necklace**: Instead of a regular immunity necklace, players attempted to win a golden immunity necklace during a large portion of the merge. This necklace is allowed to be given away after the votes are cast, but before they are read. Players are allowed to vote for the player who wins the necklace. Any votes cast against the person with the necklace once the votes are read will not count.

* **Snake Idol:** During Christmas in Djibouti, a player won the Snake Idol, also known as the Poison Idol. This idol is played like a standard idol, but may only be played on oneself, and while it offers protection at the current tribal council, the person playing the idol will be completely vulnerable at the next tribal council. They will not be able to participate in immunity or have any vote voiding items played on them.

* **Future Immunity Necklace**: During Christmas in Djibouti, a player won a future immunity necklace that offered them immunity during an upcoming round, should they still be in the game.
* **Half Idol:** During Christmas in Djibouti, a player won a half immunity idol. This idol, when played, would cancel every second vote cast against the person it is played on. If an odd number of votes are cast, for example 5, only 2 votes would be cancelled.

## Format

* **Tribes:** The castaways were divided into two tribes of ten:
	+ The Dagouein tribe.
	+ The Tadjoura tribe.

* **Tribe Swap:** On Day 10, the Final 17 were offered a chance to put their name in a raffle to win a message in a bottle. One member of each original tribe won and were immediately exiled. The remaining 15 were divided into three tribes of five:
	+ The Dagouein tribe.
	+ The Tadjoura tribe.
	+ The Yaguer tribe.

## Castaways

Note: Non-voided votes are shown regularly. If the number has a second number in parenthesis next to it then that indicates the total votes they received including any votes that were voided by immunity idols or any other advantages.
