Random.org Survivor: Temotu

*Random.org Survivor: Temotu* was the sixty-first season in the *series*.

The season took place in the Santa Cruz Islands in the Temotu Province.

The twenty contestants, referred to as "castaways," were divided into four tribes of five divided by generation in life: 18-25, 26-35, 36-50, and 51+. These tribes were named Avita, Nuela, Tuo, and Vana, named after areas and islands in the region. They represent the name of the camps and the separate teams with immunity and tribal council. The merged tribe was named by the 12 castaways who made the merge. They named the tribe Vanavita Tuelo, a combination of all of the tribe names.

TBD beat out TBD in a ?-? vote in the final tribal council.

## Introduction

After 30 years of *Survivor* seasons spanning the globe, countless themes and divisions have come together from age, sex, occupation, archetype, and even family. For the birth of a new era, 20 new castaways start the adventure of a lifetime in Temotu, a beautiful set of islands in the South Pacific. These 20 castaways make-up five different families of four castaways, most from a different age and generation. They will all play the game together, for the first time featuring multiple family members playing against each other. Will they backstab one another to align with their peers? Or will they sacrifice to make sure their family members go further? It's bound to be one of the most interesting experiments *Survivor* has done yet. 39 days, 20 people, ONE SURVIVOR!

## Twists

* **Blood vs. Water:** There are five families each with one member on each tribe.
* **Battle of the Generations:** Similar to *Millennials vs. Gen X,* the tribes are divided by four generations spanning across age groups.
* **Shot in the Dark:** By sacrificing one's vote at Tribal Council, a player in trouble may invoke this advantage for a chance to be immune at any vote until there were six players left. While the chance of a favorable outcome was slim, if successful, the play acted as if a Hidden Immunity Idol was played.
	+ **Day 3 - Tate:** Tate decided to play his Shot in the Dark, successfully drawing "SAFE" and negating four votes cast against him.
	+ **Day 10 - Bennett:** Bennett decided to play his Shot in the Dark, drawing "NOT SAFE," and wasting his vote in the process.
* **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.
	+ **Avita Idol:** Tate found the Avita Idol hidden as the carved tribe insignia on Day 7. Tate played the Avita Idol at the Day 8 Tribal Council, negating two votes cast against him. Naomi found the rehidden Avita Idol on Day 9, hidden under the cover of the water well.
	+ **Nuela Idol:** Kasey found the Nuela Idol hidden as the carved tribe insignia on Day 17. Kasey chose not to play her idol on Day 20 and instead chose to go head-to-head in a fire-making challenge with Bettie where she lost along with the Nuela Idol.
	+ **Tuo Idol:** Joey found the Tuo Idol hidden as the carved tribe insignia on Day 15.
	+ **Vana Idol:** Bennett found the Vana Idol hidden as the carved tribe insignia on Day 16.
	+ **Vanavita Tuelo Idol:** Tommie found the Vanavita Tuelo Idol buried in the sand in the jungle on Day 23.
