Survivor: Guadeloupe - Land of Loyalty

**Survivor: Guadeloupe - Land of Loyalty** is the first season of MelissORGs. Due to an active cast and two hasteful quits, the season lasted an extremely fast 20 days of filming. Johnny was crowned the first ever Sole-Survivor of MelissORGs when he beat Twin and Ryan in a 4-3-1 vote.

## Production

The season ran during the entire month of April of 2020. Applications began on the 22nd of March and ended on the 6th of April.

Over 22+ people had applied for the season and stayed to check-in. Furthermore, a few people were recruited to play.

## Twists/Changes

* **Land of Loyalty:** The tribe that loses the Immunity Challenge gets the opportunity to banish one member from the losing tribe to the Land of Loyalty, where the aforementioned contestant will be able to wager their vote for the next Tribal Council they attend for a chance to win an advantage. Any advantage earned will need to be given to another player for at least one round to gain any power.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** A Hidden Immunity Idol was hidden for each tribe, including the merged tribe, through a special command. In addition, temporary Hidden Immunity Idols may be offered on the Island of the Idols which are only usable for two to three Tribal Councils after obtaining them. Furthermore, a special new idol, called the Thief Idol, would also be hidden through a special command.
* **Joint Tribal Council:** Due to a tie on the third immunity challenge on Day 9, both tribes attended Tribal Council as a group and voted one person out.
* **Extra Vote:** An advantage that allows players to vote twice in one Tribal Council.
* **Vote Steal:** An advantage that allows players to steal another castaway's vote to vote twice in one Tribal Council.
* **Vote Blocker:** An advantage that allows players to prevent a castaway from voting at Tribal Council.
* **Tribe Switch:** After the Joint Tribal Council, the players lived on the same beach for 24 hours and ranked each other from 1-13 on how much they liked their fellow castaways. The ranks were combined and the odd number ranks and even number ranks were split up accordingly.
* **Trial by Fire:** On Days 21 and 24, if a contestant believed they were going to be voted out, they could accept an offer, subjecting them to a fire-making challenge against another castaway decided by the majority of the merged tribe (or by a rock draw, if the decision was not unanimous). The two people would then showdown in a fire-making challenge, with the loser being eliminated from the game.
* **Skip Ticket:** The castaway would be able to leave Tribal Council before the vote, effectively making them immune, at the cost of not voting. Alternatively, this advantage can be played on another contestant to send them away from Tribal Council.
* **Game Information:** On Day 12, information on the game was available at the Land of Loyalty.
