Random.org Survivor: Jiangxi

*Random.org Survivor: Jiangxi* was the fifty-second season in the *series*.

The season took place in the Zhelin Reservoir in Jiujiang, Jiangxi in China.

The twenty contestants, referred to as "castaways," were divided into five tribes of four. The tribes were named Jingdezhen, Nanchang, Shangrao, Xinyu, and Yichun, all cities in the Jiangxi province. They represent the name of the camps and the separate teams with immunity and tribal council. On Day 13, there was a tribe switch leading to four new tribes of four with Nanchang disbanded. On Day 24, the tribes dropped their buffs and picked up new duo buffs. They would live in separate camps in each duo with the losing duo going to fire-making at tribal council. On Day 27, the tribes merged. The merged tribe was named by the 11 castaways who made the merge. They named the tribe Jiangxi, the name of the season and the province containing all tribe names.

Lab Assistant Annie Love beat out Urban Planner Morris Chambers in a close 5-4 vote in the final tribal council.

## Introduction

In a return to the Jiangxi province of China, 20 castaways will begin the adventure of a lifetime. Split into five tribes, each with their own boat, these castaways will have to fend for themselves with just a few tribe members and no food or supplies to begin with. And this season, the castaways will be put under the biggest pressure yet with a twist never seen before built by fire. Castaways will live on the edge with tough power struggles. 39 days, 20 people, ONE Survivor!

## Twists

* **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.
	+ **Jingdezhen Idol:** Evan found the Jingzhen Idol on top of the camp post on Day 3. Evan used the Jingdezhen Idol to negate three votes on Day 18. No one ever found the rehidden Jingdezhen Idol.
	+ **Nanchang Idol:** Bonny found the Nanchang Idol on top of the camp post on Day 1. Bonny used the Nanchang Idol to negate two votes on Day 6. Annie found the rehidden Nanchang Idol at the bottom of the rice container on Day 9. Annie never used the rehidden Nanchang Idol as it expired on Day 36.
	+ **Shangrao Idol:** Sybyl found the Shangrao Idol on top of the camp post on Day 19. Sybyl was blindsided at the first Day 32 tribal council and never played the Shangrao Idol.
	+ **Xinyu Idol:** Bonny found the Xinyu Idol on top of the camp post on Day 13 after the tribes switched. On Day 36, Bonny used the Xinyu Idol on Morris, negating no votes.
	+ **Yichun Idol:** Elena found the Yichun Idol on top of the camp post on Day 3. Elena used the Yichun Idol to negate one vote on Day 18. Josh found the rehidden Yichun Idol at the bottom of the rice container on Day 22. Josh used the rehidden Yichun Idol to negate five votes on Day 28.
	+ **Jiangxi Idol:** Annie found the Jiangxi Idol on Day 33 sitting underneath the camp shelter in the ground with a string, meaning she had two idols that could be used as a super idol. Annie never used the Jiangxi Idol as it expired on Day 36.
* **Combined Superidol:** When two tribe idols are combined, they become a super idol that can be played after the votes are read.
* **Joint Tribal Council:** On Days 21 and 23, two tribes attended tribal council jointly to vote out one castaway.
* **Duo Tribes:** On Day 24, the tribes switched from groups to duos. Each new pairing would live together alone for the next three days and compete in the next immunity challenge. The losing duo will go to tribal council and face off in a fire-making challenge where the loser is eliminated.
* **No Advantages Round:** On Day 26 at the immunity challenge, the contestants learned that no advantages could be played while in the Duo Tribes phase. The losing duo pair would have to fire-make regardless of idols.
