Natvivor: 2055

***Natvivor: 2055***, also known as ***Natvivor: 2055—Post-Apocalypse***, (formerly dubbed ***Survivor: 2055***) is the eighth season of *Natvivor*.

While the season left a sour taste due to a reverse pagonging as well as power player, Josh, being ousted for using an alt account, 2055 is still seen as a high-rated season, due to the incredible post-merge Tribal Councils, highly active and entertaining cast, and a satisfying winner story, where Jacob the Great ultimately won the season over Cooper and Scarlet in a vote of 6-1-1.

## Twists/Changes

* **Tribe Raiding**: After each Immunity Challenge, the members of the winning tribe will vote to send one of their own over to the losing tribe's camp, where that player will be able to communicate with them and get to watch their Tribal Council, where they would return back to their tribe at the next Immunity Challenge.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol**
	+ **Idol Shards**: After each Tribe Raid, the raider gets the option to give a *shard* of a Hidden Immunity Idol to a player on the opposing tribe. Combining two shards will result in creating a full idol.
	+ **Offered at the Survivor Auction**
* **Mutiny**: On Day 7, the players were offered a chance to leave their current tribe to join the rival tribe. However, no one took said offer.
* **Double Tribal Council**
* **Tribe Switch**: On Day 11, the remaining fourteen players were shuffled into two tribes of seven.

## Castaways

**^1** Zanny voluntarily chose to leave the jury.

## Season Summary

The game started off with a rather slow burn, watching the Eiros​​ tribe lose several consecutive Immunity Challenges, visiting Tribal Council after another, sending out some of the less interesting characters of the season, with the highlight of the Reef blindside, which ultimately helped solidify the Eiros bond, becoming a key moment much later in the game.

After an intense and divided post-switch tribal that resulted in an Oak vote out, the merge displayed an incredible dynamic, most notably with Mikey using an idol to bring down Zanny, immediately followed by a flip from Jaiden to cause the first rock draw in *Natvivor* history, leading to the domination of the majority of the new Eiros alliance, where they began to systematically vote off the opposing alliance. However, the majority alliance soon found themselves having to turn against each other once the last remaining loyal Charmion alliance and major underdog, LSE, found herself on an immunity run, which led to the vote-offs of Mikey and Jaiden, and the ejection of Josh, who was outed for using an alt account.

After a very intense final Immunity Challenge between the two front-runners, Jacob narrowly won against LSE, which led to her quick elimination, leaving Cooper, Jacob, and Scarlet in the Final Tribal Council, where Jacob was awarded the title of Sole Survivor in a vote of 6-1-1 for his social and strategic prowess, coupled with his long-term control of the game.
