Survivor Lake Fork: Liberty City

**Survivor Lake Fork: Liberty City** (originally titled Survivor: College Station) is the first season of the Survivor Lake Fork series, featuring 18 students at Texas A&M University. It was not filmed, so official episodes do not exist. In the end, Scottie was awarded the title of Sole Survivor over Taylor in an 11-4 vote.

This season has produced a total of seven returning players.

## Twists

* **Tribe Composition**: The cast was divided into three tribes of six.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol**: A Hidden Immunity Idol was hidden at each tribe camp with no clues to help players find them. After the merge, a clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol was randomly hidden in one player's challenge station at two Immunity Challenges. Both of these Idols were hidden at Tribal Council, with one under a seat and the other in the voting booth.
* **Tribe Swap**: On Night 1 there was a Tribe Swap. Sully was dissolved, and the remaining 14 players randomly drew buffs to divide into two new tribes.
* **Pre-merge Double Elimination**: With 12 people remaining in the game, both tribes attended Tribal Council.
* **Post-merge Double Elimination**: At the final 8, the merge tribe was randomly split into two groups of four. One person from each group won individual immunity, and both groups attended Tribal Council separately.

## Season Summary

The 18 castaways were divided into 3 predetermined tribes named after Texas A&M University traditions. The Sully tribe dominated in challenges, sending Hullabaloo and Reveille to Tribal Council early in the game. Mitchell, Justin, Erin, and Amanda formed the majority alliance on Hullabaloo, while Garrison, Ashton, Scottie, and Kaitlyn formed the majority alliance on Reveille. With 14 players left in the game, the Sully tribe was dissolved and all 14 players randomly drew buffs to divide into new Hulaballoo and Reveille tribes. The new Reveille tribe proved to be cohesive, winning every Immunity Challenge, while the fractured Hulabaloo tribe was forced to pick off three strong players in a row at chaotic Tribal Councils.

The players merged with Reveille commanding a dominant 6-4 majority. Original tribal lines were effectively meaningless as the New Reveille 6 set their sights on eliminating the Hulabaloo minority, consisting of Drew, Kaitlyn, Garrison, and Nathaniel. Despite Drew finding two Hidden Immunity idols in a row, incorrect Idol plays and the strong 6's split vote plans sent Nathaniel and Drew home. The game was split wide open at the final 8, when the players were divided into two groups of four and sent to Tribal Council separately. With Garrison and Kaitlyn being the last remaining members of the minority alliance, their fortune was looking up as Kaitlyn won individual immunity, Garrison found a Hidden Immunity Idol, and both were in the same group of four. However, Garrison's attempt to sway Alyssa to vote out Mitchell and keep his Idol intact failed, and after a deadlock tie, Mitchell eliminated Garrison in a sudoku challenge. In the other group, Ashton found a Hidden Immunity Idol and used it with Taylor to eliminate Justin, leaving Scottie out of the loop.

Down to the final 6, Kaitlyn was the last player standing from the minority alliance. With her back up against the wall, she flipped Taylor, Ashton, and Alyssa against their former alliance to form a girls' alliance against Mitchell and Scottie. However, the girls failed to split the votes and Scottie played the original Reveille Idol, negating all four of the girls' votes and eliminating Ashton. When Scottie won immunity at the final 5, he reluctantly joined the girls to vote out Mitchell. At the final 4, Taylor won immunity and the girls planned to vote out Scottie. However, a last-minute play by Scottie convinced Taylor to flip on Kaitlyn, the biggest threat left in the game, sending Kaitlyn and Scottie to a sudoku challenge after a deadlock tie. Kaitlyn lost the challenge, and Scottie advanced to the final 3 with Taylor and Alyssa.

In a shocking twist, it was revealed to the players that they had one more Immunity Challenge, and that the game would end in a Final 2. Scottie won the final challenge and voted out jury threat Alyssa, bringing Taylor to the final 2. At Final Tribal Council, the jury was baffled by Taylor's decision to flip on the girls and keep Scottie in the game, while Scottie was criticized for not taking enough risks. Despite her multiple flips and strategic dominance resulting in zero votes against her throughout the game, the jury believed Taylor rode others' coattails while Scottie was a more visibly in-charge player. In the end, Scottie's steady command of the majority alliance and late-game underdog status earned him the win in an 11-4 vote.
