Survivor: Morocco

***Survivor: Morocco*** is the seventh season of Connor's Minecraft Survivor Series. This season began on June 22nd, 2019 and ended with the finale and live reunion on June 23rd, 2019.

The sixth season ended with Neth defeating Brandon H. and Dino at the Final Tribal Council by a Jury Vote of 4-3-1.

At the Final Tribal Council, the jury respected Neth and Brandon H. for overcoming the early obstacles that accompanied being placed on the Dakhla Tribe. They were also praised for their control over the endgame and ability to adapt during the pre-merge. Dino was praised by the jury vote being the only "fan" to make it to the end and outwitting numerous players who had participated in the series before.

*Survivor: Morocco*is remembered for being the first season to have a casting twist, in the adaptation of the Fans vs. Favorites format. It is also remembered for being one of Connor's favorite seasons of all time. Memorable moments from *Morocco*include Justin's idol play and Dakhla's surprising poor start to the game.

## Production

This season featured eighteen castaways arriving in Morocco. The castaways were informed beforehand that there was going to be a potential casting twist. Upon their arrival, Connor split the eighteen players into three different tribes. The first was Agadir, the "fans," a group of six players who were all new to the series, wearing green. The remaining twelve players were split into two tribes to denote their previous success in the series. The Dahkla Tribe, wearing purple, was known was the "Second Chance Favorites" and was comprised of castaways who still had to build their legacy. The third tribe, Saadian, wearing yellow, was known as the "All-Star Favorites" and was comprised of six castaways who had cemented their reputation as some of the most well-known and successful players of the franchise from previous seasons.

## Twists

**Hidden Immunity Idols:** Hidden Immunity Idols were hidden in the game this season. Each tribe had a Hidden Immunity Idol at their camp. The last time Hidden Immunity Idols could be played was at the final five Tribal Council.

**Three-Tribe Format:** For the third time in Connor's Minecraft Survivor, the eighteen castaways were split into three tribes of six at the start of the game, rather than two tribes of nine.

**Fans vs. Favorites:** The eighteen castaways were split into three tribes. The "fans," who had never played in Connor's Minecraft Survivor before, the "Second Chance Favorites," who had to prove their legacy and attempt to build the legacy as one of the best of all time, and the "All-Star Favorites," a group of players who had cemented their legacy as an All-Star in one or more previous seasons.

**One-Day Exile:** When the tribes were switched, one castaway was sent to Exile Island due to the uneven number of castaways. Neth drew the black buff and we subsequently sent to Exile Island for the duration of the episode. After Saadian lost the following challenge and voted out Grayson, Neth replaced him on the Saadian Tribe, evening the numbers once again.
