Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains

***Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains*** is the second season of ***Survivor***. The season was filmed Saturday June 13th, 2020. Cody Conroy became the first male, and second sole survivor, defeating Kyle Scheel and Darius White in a 4-3-1 vote.

## **Format**

* **Tribe Composition:** The season started out with sixteen players divided randomly into two tribes of eight.
* **Tribe Swap:** When 14 contestants remained, the two tribes were swapped back into their predetermined labels of **Heroes** and **Villains**.

* **Heroes vs. Villains:** The contestants consisted of those who dubbed themselves or were previously dubbed as **Heroes** or **Villains** in terms of the type of game they played. Although they were mixed between the two tribes at first, the tribe swap would put them back into their predetermined labels.
* **Hidden Immunity Idols**: Once again, hidden immunity idols were hidden at the tribes' "camps." Once a player finds it, it is theirs to keep until they want to use it. If and when a player uses it, any votes counted against them will not count. On the chance they are voted off they must will their idol to someone still in the game.
* **Advantages**: During the first individual immunity challenge, the players were given the decision to step out of the game and draw for a chance to receive an advantage: the advantage was an extra vote.
* **Merge Tribe Composition:** The merge tribe consisted of eleven players.
* **Double Tribal Council:** Like prior season, at a random tribal council, the players will be asked to vote as normal and then be asked to vote a second time, after the first player has been voted out.
* **Final Tribal Council:** The final three players faced the jury of eight. The jurors individually addressed the finalists.

## **Season Summary**

The season began with sixteen players, divided randomly into two tribes of eight. Right away, two major alliances formed and during the first two immunity challenges, both tribes and alliances lost one player, then the teams were split into two new tribes the "heroes" and the "villains" based on their past reputations.

After the fifth tribal council, the remaining eleven players went into the merge and began competing as individuals, where Christian Davis went on to break the record with previous sole survivor, Breanne Nevers, with four immunity challenge wins.

After seven individual immunity challenges, the final three players, Darius White, Kyle Scheel, and Cody Conroy went to the final tribal council to plead their case to the jury of seven. Kyle's loyalty was thanked, but he was questioned for not making any big moves and only following orders, Darius was perceived as a non threat and told that, that is why he was taken to the final, while Cody was critiqued by Christian for blindsiding him (his closest ally), he gained the respect of the jury members for his good game play and was rewarded the title of sole survivor in a 4-3-1 vote.
