Twistvivor: Allstars

***Twistvivor: Allstars*** is the eighth season of *Twistvivor* and the last season in Era 1 of the franchise. With the largest cast size in Era 1, *Allstars* was comprised of thirty-three of the most notable, memorable, and notorious players across the previous seven seasons. This season ran consecutively with *A New Era*, which shared the same twists and format as this season, but featured entirely new players as compared to alumni.

After a long forty-day season, two-time alumni Kaiden defeated season seven winner JC at the Final Tribal Council in a 12-1 vote. This season featured tribe names, twists, and formats derived from its preceding seasons, and many alumni and twists from this season have been included in future seasons.

## Production

Despite *Allstars* and *A New Era* taking place at the same time, the hosting and production team was very small. Crimson remained the main host for this season, and former owner and founder of *Twistvivor* Pace rejoined the hosting team. Returning on the production team was Reid, and Brezito and Dize joined as new members of the *Twistvivor* community.

## Twists/Changes

* **Allstars:** Every player this season is a returning player who made their mark on a previous season they were on. Not every player was required to have won the "Allstar" award in their previous season(s). However, previous winners and Player of the Seasons who showed interest in playing were automatically cast into the season.
* **Twists from Past Seasons:** This season brought a nostalgic feeling to the castaways, as twists from every previous season were used here (more on this in Trivia).
* **Returning Tribe Names:** Every tribe name this season, excluding the World Merge tribes, was the name of a tribe from a previous season (more on this in Trivia).
* **First Cycle One World:** During the first cycle of the game, nobody was put on a tribe. Instead, a tribal council with everyone in it immediately started the game. No challenge was given, which meant that nobody was immune from being voted out.
