Twistvivor: Battle of the Seasons

***Twistvivor: Battle of the Seasons***, also named by Twisted ORGs founder Crimson as ***Twistvivor: Allstars 2***, is the twentieth season of *Twistvivor* and the last season of Era 2. It featured 24 of *Twistvivor's* most memorable, ambitious, and competitive alumni, all battling it out for the ultimate title of Twisted Survivor. Every stage of the season was action-packed, with major blindsides taking place, emotional drama ensuing, and amazing moves created.

In a very fitting way, this season ended with the most amount of days to date out of any *Twistvivor* season. It ended with season eleven representative Dylan taking the crown over season nine winner James and season nineteen main character Becca in a 7-1-0 vote. This season was a very dramatic but fitting end to the second era, and a very memorable season for a milestone like season twenty.

## Production

This season was mainly hosted by Crimson and co-hosted by Kat and Jon. Alongside them on the production team were Alein, Alison, Sergi, Nezzie, Octane, Vee, Duke, Emmy, Meredith, Puff, and Tommy. People who were not casted for this season, but joined the production team afterwards, include Frey, Cage, Josh, and Fox.

## Twists/Changes

* **Battle of the Seasons:** Twenty-four very memorable, impactful, and notable returning players from all previous 19 seasons return for another chance to win the title of Twisted Survivor.
* **Day 0:** Right after the cast was revealed for this season, the castaways were given a twenty-four hour time period to socialize in the marooning chat. This was designated as "Day 0", because no gameplay had begun yet, nobody was put into tribes, and an official *Survivor* cycle did not begin.
* **Viracocha's Gifts:** Much like in *Camp Outlook*, players would be able to search for materials to buy mystery boxes that contained advantages.
* **Diverging Paths:** Much like in seasons such as *Decision Peak*, players would switch tribes after every tribal council based on a list that they submitted in their private submissions. This list would have each of the tribes on the season ranked from 1-3, and based on challenge wins as priority, the remaining players in the game would switch tribes.
* **Vote to Firemaking:** Much like in *Game of Death's* first episode, all three tribes would go to tribal council at the Final 21 and vote someone out. Then, all three people voted out would compete in a firemaking competition, where the best performer would stay in the game, causing the other two players to be sent home.
* **Earn the Merge:** At the merge, the thirteen castaways were randomly split into two groups of six, and whichever group performed better in the immunity challenge would be given individual immunity at the first merge tribal council. The other group of six would be completely vulnerable at tribal council. On top of this, the castaway who was not put into a group had to choose which group they thought was going to win the immunity challenge, and if they guessed correctly, they would be given immunity as well.
* **Final 10 "Phoenix Tribal":** At the Final 10, whoever won individual immunity would be immune for both the Final 10 and 9 tribal councils. At the Final 10 tribal council, whoever received the highest number of votes was voted out, but whoever received the second-highest number of votes would become immune at the Final 9 tribal council. Immediately after the Final 10 tribal council, the Final 9 tribal council took place.
* **Reformatted Final 4 Cycle:** At the Final 4, the four remaining players divided themselves into pairs. These pairs would compete in the final immunity challenge together. The winning pair would be guaranteed a spot at the Final Tribal Council, whereas the losing pair would compete in a firemaking challenge against each other for the final spot at the Final Tribal Council.

* This is the first season in which two alumni of the same name played in the same season.
* The most represented season this season is *Allstars* with seven people. *Enter the Darkness* and *Fans vs Favorites* are tied for the second-most represented seasons with four people each.
* This season ended with a couple parallels and similarities to the original Allstars season in regards to certain players. These include...
	+ Tyra finishing in the premerge in her original season, then two 4th place finishes due to firemaking in her two seasons afterwards; just like Austin from seasons four, seven, and eight.
	+ Dylan winning on his third season against a previous winner, James S., on his first season, with James S. receiving only one vote to win; just like Kaiden winning against JC in season eight.
* Of the twenty-four returning players, only three placed higher than their previous best placement. These include the following:
	+ Dylan going from 6th place to 1st place.
	+ Becca going from 4th place to 3rd place.
	+ Ariana going from 6th place to 5th place.
* Subsequently to the previous point, two players placed exactly their original best placement (Tyra finished in 4th place in both *Decision Peak* and this season, and James B. finished in 6th place in both *Enter the Darkness* and this season).
