9th Tournament

## Themes & Twists

* **Brains/Brawn/Beauty Divide:** Teams were split based on the attributes the players either most associated with themselves or were most often associated with their parentage. Individuals who valued or were associated with analytical skills, creative thinking, and problem-solving were placed on the Brains Team. Individuals who valued or were associated with strength, endurance, and physical prowess were placed on the Brawn Team. Individuals who valued or were associated with appearance, social skills, and adaptability were placed on the Beauty Team.
* **Kidnapping:** After every Immunity Challenge, the winning team had to select one player from the losing team to Kidnap for the night. This would protect them from the vote, but also prevent them form participating in the vote. They would return to their team at the next Immunity Challenge.
* **Legacy Advantage:** After the first challenge, the player Kidnapped was tasked with giving a special advantage to a player on the winning team. This advantage would would not be usable until the Merge. If the recipient were to be voted out prior to the Merge, they would have to will the advantage to another player still in the game. This would continue until the Merge, at which point the Legacy Advantage belonged to whomever was holding it at that point and became a special Immunity Idol that could nullify votes after they had been read aloud.
* **Hidden Immunity Idols:** At the start of the game, every separate camp for each team would have a Hidden Immunity Idol. Only one idol would be hidden per campsite, even if the team name changed. New campsites used for new teams would also include new idols. When a player was Kidnapped, they would be forced to give a clue for a Hidden Immunity Idol to someone on the team that had Kidnapped them prior to returning to their own team. Additionally, since idols were so prolific before the Merge, no new idols would be hidden after the Merge.
* **Team Switch:** On Day 19, the original Brains, Brawn, and Beauty Teams were switched onto the four new teams of Viridian Green, Phthalo Blue, Lava Red, and Psychedelic Purple. These teams were mixed up again on Day 28 and the Viridian Green Team was removed. On Day 31, a third switch created four new teams known as Licorice Black, French Fuchsia, Lemon Yellow, and Persimmon Orange. These teams were again switched up and the Persimmon Orange Team was dropped from the mix on Day 40. On Day 43, the teams were rearranged again and Persimmon Orange was added back, alongside the new Snow White Team. The teams were switched again on Day 49 and the Snow White Team was dropped. Finally, there was one more swap utilizing the Schoolyard Pick on Day 55, resulting in the Bright Silver and Matte Gold Teams.
* **Revote Tie-Breaker:** In order to resolve a tie, all players would vote for a second time except for the players involved in the tie. The others would only be allowed to vote for one of the players involved in the tie in order to give them a chance to break it. If the vote were to tie again, a Deadlock would occur between the tied players, and the next step would be a Rock Draw Tie-Breaker in which the Deadlocked players would become Immune.
* **Schoolyard Pick:** To decide the new teams the two remaining winners, Timothy and Sylvia, were made into captains and forced to pick teammates alternating from the current teams. This was on done Day 55 to create the new Bright Silver and Matte Gold Teams.
* **Reward Challenges:** Reward Challenges would occur before the Immunity Challenges. In these challenges, Immunity was not stake, but players could still win luxuries such as food and comfort and/or game advantages.
* **Double Vote:** At a reward, players would have the opportunity to receive a Double Vote. This would allow an individual to cast two votes at once, but only at one vote, and was good through the Final 5. It would expire after that. This Double Vote would also extend through a tie, provided the user wasn't one of the players the vote was tied between.
* **Juror Removal:** Originally, Sylvia, Andrew, Mina, and Rita were all going to be part of the Jury. However, due to circumstances outside of their control both in and out of the context of the game, they were unable to stay around in order to cast Jury votes. Thus, they were removed from the Jury and the size was reduced from the intended 11 Jurors to 7.
* **Impromptu Final Juror:** Due to a tied Jury Vote, the third-place finalist who received the fewest votes to win became a new Jury member and cast the tie-breaking vote to decide the official winner.

## Voting History

1: Due to idols being played, all of the votes cast were negated and a Rock Draw was forced.
