8th Tournament

## Themes & Twists

* **Taiga Tournament:** This tournament was held in the Canadian Taiga, forcing players to endure harsh cold environments. It also featured challenges uniquely suited to the environment.
* **Hidden Immunity Idols:** In early challenges, players would have some random opportunities to receive clues for Hidden Immunity Idols. These clues required them to throw their part of a later challenge in order to receive an idol. As a result, with two teams, there were two idols in play at a given time.
* **Legacy Advantage:** In an early challenge, players would have the opportunity to receive a Legacy Advantage. This would grant them Immunity at either the first vote after the Merge or at the vote at the Final 5. If, however, they were voted out with it in their possession, they would be forced to will it to another player still in the game.
* **Double Vote:** In an early challenge, 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 for the entirety of the game. This Double Vote would also extend through a tie, provided the user wasn't one of the players the vote was tied between.
* **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. First the Purple and Yellow Teams were dissolved into the Orange and Green Teams, and then those two were dissolved into the Black and Pink Teams.
* **Team Switch:** On Days 7 and 13, the teams were switched using the Teammate Ranking, Schoolyard Pick, and a new twitch called the Meet-And-Greet.
* **Teammate Ranking:** Before the switch on Day 7, players were asked to rank one another from most to least useful on the team. Without knowing it, they determined which players would start the Schoolyard Pick.
* **Schoolyard Pick:** To decide teams, every player ranked their teammates. The two players decided to be the least useful from each team went to two separate teams and were forced to pick another player to join them from one of the starting teams other than their own. Then those two would do the same, and this would continue until every player was assigned a team and all players were evenly distributed.
* **Meet-And-Greet:** At the switch on Day 13, there was no randomization. Players were instead matched up in order to meet the only other players they hadn't yet met in the game, meaning the teams had already been determined.
* **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 Immunity:** At the Immunity Challenge on Day 20, the top two finishing players were both able to win Immunity by working as a pair in the challenge.
* **Final 2:** Only the Final 2 players left standing would face the Jury. At the Final 3, the players faced a final challenge, whereupon the winner would cast the sole vote to eliminate one of the other two.
