Advantage

In every season, **advantages** have been available for players to find and obtain in order to give them, as the name suggests, an advantage over other players and help the longevity of a player, if used correctly that is.

Advantages may or may not be transferable, depending on the type of advantage. However, advantages cannot be passed at Tribal Council once the votes are being read, nor can a player pass their advantages to another after they've voted out, unless it is stated as part of the advantage.

## Obtaining Advantages

### Safari

*Main page: Safari*
Advantages may be available through season gimmicks, twists, or even challenges, however, the most consistent way of obtaining an advantage is through *Motionvivor'*s Safari system.

### Auction

*Main page: Auction*
On occasion, advantages may be bought from the Auction, these advantages are usually minor and not as powerful as the ones found in the Safari. Clues for the Safari may also be bought from here as well.

### Board Game Chest

*Main page: Board Game Chest*
The Board Game Chest, as the main gimmick of *Motionvivor: Family Game Night'*s theme, had one player each round come visit the chest where they could play a game of chance to introduce an advantage into the game, whether the player getting to keep it for themselves or being forced to pass it along to another player. In addition, every visit would introduce a new advantage or clue that a player could play for.

Fourteen items, one for every cycle prior to the finale, were introduced through the chest, however, not all of them were picked up by the players and still remain in the chest to this day.

### Collab

*Main page: Collab*
One random player from each tribe would be chosen to partake in a Collab each round of the pre-merge. One of the two players would have a chance in earning a predetermined advantage in the game by completing a set task. If the player completes the task correctly, they would return back to their tribe with the advantage.

Eight advantages were offered up: four were tribal-related advantages, two of the advantages would effect the tribes, and the last two were Safari advantages.

### Grandma's Oven

*Main page: Grandma's Oven*
At pre-determined points in the season, there would be reward challenges known as Grandma's Oven. The winner(s) of these challenges would receive a Safari Clue, plus an additional two stamina added. However, for the final Grandma's Oven, the winner would receive a production-approved Fake Idol that may be feigned as real but holds no power.

### Players

* Zheema is the first person to ever find any kind of advantage, with his Vote Steal advantage being found in *"My Heart Isn’t Gonna Win Over My Head"*.
* Beaker is the first person to ever find an idol, finding it in *"I Would Say I Fear It's My Time, But I Don't Fear"*.
* Steven is the first person to ever play an advantage, using the Vote Blocker he received from Beaker to block Marchus's vote.
	+ This also makes Marchus the first person to lose his vote from an advantage.
	+ This said Vote Blocker is also the first ever advantage obtainable through means other than the Safari and was obtained by Beaker from the Auction before he gave it away.
* Beaker and Ryan are the first two players to ever play an idol, both playing theirs in *"I Would Say I Fear It's My Time, But I Don't Fear"*.
	+ If you would like to get into specifics, Ryan played his idol at tribal before Beaker did.
	+ By extension, Brodie is the first person to be voted out thanks to an idol.
* Zheema is the only player to cast three votes at one tribal, due to him playing both his Vote Steal and Extra Vote in the same round.
* Brian holds numerous accomplishments with idols:
	+ He is the first person to play an advantage during the pre-merge, using his idol in *"I Think I'm the Main Character in a Bad Way"*.
		- Because of this, Rize is the first person to be voted out pre-merge thanks to an advantage. Rize would be followed by Salted, Beans, Derеk, and Baz.
	+ He holds the record for most votes negated in a single tribal, with ten votes.
	+ He as well holds the record for the most votes negated ever, with fifteen negated votes to his name.
* Haff is the first person to have an advantage expire while in his possession, as his Extra Vote expired at the merge before he could use it. The only other players to do this are Elena (Swap Reshuffler and Safety Without Power) and Haiku (Immunity Idol and Extra Vote).
* Jericho is the first person to ever play an idol and negate zero votes against him. He'd soon be followed by Lilly and Enzo from *On Tour*, Riley in *Cartoon Madness*, and Devlin and Jarhead from *Happily Never After*.
* Jo is the first person to be voted out with an advantage on hand (but it was a Rocks Immunity, does that really even count?). He would be followed by SeanC, Rye, and Zom from *On Tour!*, and Chichi from *Happily Never After*.
* "Three Blind Mice" (Enzo, Lilly, and Miles) is the only established alliance to have all of its members have an idol played on them, albeit, only one of them was used correctly.
* Haiku holds the record for the most advantages found in a season, finding a total of five advantages in his career.
	+ Meanwhile, Juls holds the record for the most advantages obtained through means outside of the Safari, possessing three different advantages that weren't from the Safari in *Family Game Night*.
* Cam is the only person to use an advantage correctly in *Cartoon Madness*.
* Jenny is the only person to use an advantage correctly in *From the Archives*.
	+ Coincidentally, she played it on Cam.
* While Kenzie's play technically failed due to the fact that not enough votes were negated, she was still able to use it to cause chaos amongst the Nochlin tribe. While the votes were originally 4-3 on her, the idol was revealed to the majority within the last minutes of the tribal and the votes locked while they were on the process of switching their votes from Kenzie to Jenny.

### Episodes

* *"I Would Say I Fear It's My Time, But I Don't Fear"* holds the record for the most advantages found in a single episode, with four: Beaker's and Ryan's respective idols, Zheema's Extra Vote, and Beaker's (later given to Steven) Vote Block.
* *Happily Never After* and *From the Archives* are currently the only two seasons where all advantages were found in different episodes.
