Survivor: All-Stars 2023

***Survivor: All-Stars 2023***, otherwise known is the twenty-first season of *Brovivor*.

## Production

Production for *All-Stars 2023* officially started two years after the twentieth season, where AJ and Matt hosted together once again with intent of a low-key and low commitment season where anyone could play, just for fun! However, this season was far from the promised vibe, and ended up being a thrilling competition where winners, fan favorites, and new faces all came together to fight in one of Brovivor's best seasons yet. This is not an exaggeration, it was literally one of, if not the best season Brovivor has seen.

What started from AJ asking Matt if he wanted to host a season in the summer, turned into just the spark Brovivor needed to bring back the life in the community.

## Twists/Changes

* **Returning Castaways:** This season featured 16 returning players from previous seasons of Brovivor come to play again. However, in the application form, it was stated there was no restriction for who could apply. This included four time players, winners, pre-jurors, and even *new players* who had never played Brovivor before to play the game.
* **Sun Save Tokens:** In a similar fashion to the *Shot in the Dark* from the new era of CBS Survivor seasons, every player would receive a Sun Save Token at the beginning of the game that would allow them to grant individual immunity to another player at the next tribal council. You could not play it on yourself, and it would be played at the end of the immunity challenge, letting everyone know who was immune and who made them immune. The last time Sun Saves could be played was at the Final 5 immunity challenge.
* **Meeting of the Moon:** From the Final 17 to the Final 8, players would attend the Meeting of the Moon. At this meeting, the players attending would cast their vote for one player on each existing tribe at the time, whoever received the majority of votes would get a Moon Vote cast against them that would serve as a public penalty vote. During the pre-merge portion of the game, whichever tribe won immunity had their vote nullified, meaning only the losing tribe's Moon Vote would come into play. In order to maintain anonymity, criteria determining who attend the moon meeting was *generally* public, however individual challenge performance would stay hidden.
* **No Final Immunity Challenge:** In this season, there would be no Final 4 immunity challenge before final tribal council. The players were informed of this at the beginning of the game to allow them time to plan for it. This was done to allow for a more complex endgame and strategies surrounding who to take farther into the game.
* **Bathala's Double Tribal:** Similar to the *Design a Tribal* twist from Season 13 and Season 15. Players would play in a reward challenge to determine the rules for the upcoming cycle. What made this twist different from the original twist, besides occurring during the pre-merge and sending both tribes to tribal council, was that the players would compete to determine the entire ruleset of their tribal. The catch was that they were given a chart consisting of three categories relating to aspects of different Philippine mythological gods. There were six rule changes available, and the players had to "maintain balance" and had to pick only two rules from each god/category. The rules were as follows:
