Motionvivor: From the Archives

***Motionvivor: Motion Stars—From the Archives*** is the seventh season of *Motionvivor*, which sought to bring back twenty-one previous players to compete once again in the first All-Stars season.

## Twists/Changes

* **All-Stars:** A cast of twenty-one former All-Stars returned for another shot at the title of Sole Survivor.
* **Open-World:** This season would be entirely One-World, the usual rotation system was dropped, and instead players, were able to roam freely among the museum and interact with anyone, no matter the tribe. In an effort to alleviate some stresses/concerns, at the beginning of each episode, a section would be randomly picked and would be closed off during Tribal Council for the winning tribes.
* **From the Archives:** As a nod to the previous seasons leading up to this point, various twist from each season would make a return at each pre-merge round of the game.
	+ **Board Game Chest:** Making a return from *Family Game Night*, the contestants were offered to compete in a minigame challenge where the winner would enter the Board Game Chest and have a chance to win an advantage.
	+ **Witches' Coven:** Returning from the previous season, the player who received the second most votes at the first Tribal Council would become the "Initiated" and enter the Witches' Coven to unleash a twist for the Final 20's tribal.
	+ **Lost at Sea:** Instead of being directly based off of a twist, Lost at Sea is a reference to *Beneath the Tides* at large, as the season was scrapped and "banished" from the series. One player who was not chosen to be on a tribe during the Tribe Swap would be secluded and banished from the main game for the round.
	+ **Collab:** Making a return from *On Tour!*, each tribe was asked to unanimously agree to nominate one person to to attend a Collab. More information will be revealed later.
	+ **Stunt Double:** Each tribe must vote for one person to be a Stunt Double. The stunt double of the winning tribe will choose one person from the losing tribe to replace, rendering them safe for the round and the stunt double will then be sent to view Tribal Council. Just like in *At the Drive-In*, the Stunt Double would also have the opportunity to vote at said tribal, but in turn, will lose the ability at their own tribal.
	+ **Blood Moon:** Like in *Breath of the Wild*, both newly swapped tribes were subjected to attend Tribal Council, with each tribe voting out one player. In addition, both tribes competed individually for a chance to win a **Fairy**, which had been upgraded from a **Light Pearl** to a **One-Round Immunity Idol**.
	+ **Commercial Break:** Making it's return from *Cartoon Madness* as the seventh and final twist of the Archives, every player had the ability to submit one anonymous statement that would be broadcast to the rest of the game at the start of the next round.
* **Two Tribe Swaps:** On Day 6, the remaining nineteen players were shuffled around into three tribes of six. Due to an uneven number of players, one player would be **Lost at Sea**, away from the game, and would join the losing tribe after the first Tribal Council. The tribes would swap again on Day 13, this time dissolving the Panofsky tribe and shuffling the remaining sixteen players into two tribes of eight.
