Random.org Survivor: Ghost Island

*Random.org Survivor: Ghost Island* was the thirty-eighth season in the *series*.

The season took place in San Juan del Sur in Rivas in Nicaragua. This is the fourth season to take place in Nicaragua.

The twenty contestants, referred to as "castaways," were originally split up into three tribes of six. These tribes were named Azar, Destino, and Riesgo, Spanish words meaning "chance," "destiny," and "risk," respectively. They represent the name of the camps and the separate teams with immunity and tribal council. On Day 7, there was a tribe switch to two tribes of eight, leading to the dissolve of the Azar tribe. The merged tribe was named by the 12 castaways who made the merge. They named the tribe Fantasma, a Spanish word meaning "ghost."

BMX Bike Salesman Alex Gray narrowly beat out Anesthesiologist Lauren Bryant and Etsy Shop Owner Carleen Witherspoon in a 4-3-2 vote in the Final Tribal Council.

## Twists

* **Ghost Island:** After each immunity challenge, the losing tribe must decide who will go to Ghost Island unanimously or be forced to draw rocks to see who goes. At Ghost Island, those exiled meet a game of chance they can choose to play to earn an advantage deemed "cursed" by a player in the series. If they pick the right option in the game of chance, they receive a clue to an advantage or an advantage with the choice of sacrifice, such as not playing in the immunity challenge. If they lose the game of chance, the player also loses their vote at the next tribal council.
	+ **Dane's Vavau Idol** (from *David vs. Goliath* when Dane was blindsided on Day 29)**:** Rachel won this three-round only cursed idol at Ghost Island on Day 21. She played the cursed Vavau Idol at the Day 27 tribal council, negating no votes against her.
	+ **Alice's Foa Foa Idol** (from *Samoa* when Alice was blindsided on Day 35)**:** Elliot won this two-round only super idol at Ghost Island on Day 24.
	+ **The Masaya Idol** (from *Worlds Apart* when Thelma and Erik were blindsided on Days 29 and 35)**:** Rachel won this three-round only cursed idol at Ghost Island on Day 21. If she combined the cursed idol with one of the in-game idols, the idol can be used as a super idol. Rachel played the Masaya Idol on Day 36 at the Final Five, however, all other players also played idols, nullifying each idol as no one was eligible to be voted for otherwise.
* **Hidden Immunity Idols:** There is one hidden immunity idol hidden at random places in, near, or around camp. If found with a clue, the idol may be hidden in a spot in camp. After idols are successfully played or leave the game, new idols are hidden the same way.
	+ **Azar Idol:** August found the Azar Idol on Day 5 hidden in a tree near camp. August was blindsided on Day 35, so he never played the Azar Idol.
	+ **Destino Idol:** Lucille found the Destino Idol on Day 7 before the tribe switch hidden in a tree near camp. However, Lucille was blindsided at the Day 12 tribal council meaning she never played the Destino Idol. Alex found the rehidden Destino Idol on Day 14 in a different tree near camp. Alex played the Destino Idol on Day 36 at the Final Five, however, all other players also played idols, nullifying each idol as no one was eligible to be voted for otherwise.
	+ **Riesgo Idol:**  Flora found the Riesgo Idol on Day 3 hidden in a tree near camp. Flora played the Riesgo Idol on Day 36 at the Final Five, however, all other players also played idols, nullifying each idol as no one was eligible to be voted for otherwise.
	+ **Fantasma Idol:**  Carleen found the Fantasma Idol on Day 29 hidden near a rock on the ground near the water well. Carleen played the Fantasma Idol on Day 36 at the Final Five, however, all other players also played idols, nullifying each idol as no one was eligible to be voted for otherwise.

## Castaways

**^2** Because Alex, Carleen, Flora, and Rachel all played hidden immunity idols and Lauren won immunity, all idols were nullified since no one could be voted for otherwise.
