Twistvivor: Battle of the ORGs

***Twistvivor: Battle of the ORGs*** is the nineteenth season in the *Twistvivor* franchise. Ten different ORGs nominated four of their best alumni to battle it out against each other for the title of Twisted Survivor and "best ORG" of them all. This season featured amazing blindsides, rivalries and competitiveness like no other, and a cast full of awesome personalities. Powerful advantages were in play the entire game, and with a very long premerge and a mixed-format system, this season proved to be iconic and dangerous.

After 41 long days, defeating the largest cast size to date in *Twistvivor* history, Othello defeated Waffles and season fifteen alumni Sparky in a 7-2-1 vote to claim the title of Twisted Survivor, also winning Realvivor "best ORG of them all". Two players have returned for future seasons despite it being the most recent season to finish, but a good number of others joined the production team.

## Production

This season was mostly headed and operated by Kaiden, alongside Crimson, Kat, Dylan, Bolivia, Sbeve, Alison, and Vee. The production team, on the other hand, grew to its largest amount in *Twistvivor* history to date. The people on production include the following: Barnaby, Boomsoks, Cornbread, Nezzie, JC, Jordan, Gecko, Willow, Tyra, Stella, Brothers, Ainsley, Frey, Cart, Dragon, Duke, Alein, Logan, Jay, Liv, Meredith, Puff, Athena, Posty, Legendz, Scout, Bre, Matt, Sylvie, Peter, and Cage.

## Twists/Changes

* **Battle of the ORGs:** Hosts of other ORGs applied for this season and designated four alumni from their ORGs to represent them this season. Ten ORGs were chosen for this season to all compete against each other for the title of Twisted Survivor and for the integrity of the ORGs they represented.
	+ **ORG Channels:** Each group of four that represented each ORG were given a cross-tribe channel to communicate to each other.
* **Two Worlds:** The Two Worlds twist returned for this season, but was revamped to have four starting worlds, all starting with a merged tribe.
* **Gods and Goddesses Idols:** Twelve powerful advantages derived from Roman gods and goddesses were hidden around the season's server throughout the season.
* **Merge Double Elimination:** At the Final 9, the eight castaways who did not win individual immunity were split into two groups of four, where each group would vote out one person. The winner of individual immunity attended both tribal councils and cast a vote at each of them.

## Trivia

* This season has the largest cast size in *Twistvivor* history to date.
	+ Consequently, this season has the largest amount of premerge castaways with 30.
* This season uses the most worlds at one time whilst the Two Worlds twist was in effect with 4.
	+ This is also the first season to feature a world-to-world switch, as compared to *Fans vs Favorites,* which had a world-to-tribe switch, where the worlds were dismembered and everyone was put onto tribes.
	+ This is the second season to feature a world-to-tribe switch.
* This is the first season since *Enter the Darkness* to use the same name for a tribe/world the switch after the names have already been used.
	+ *Decision Peak* used the same tribe names every switch until the merge, but due to the "Peaks" twist, they do not officially count as tribe switches.
	+ Other seasons such as *Camp Outlook* and *Floral Fight* recycled tribe names in different tribe switches, but none of them were used in back-to-back switches.
* This is the fourth season to implement custom backgrounds behind each player's Piccrews.
	+ Subsequently, just like in *Heroes vs Villains*, the backgrounds were themed around natural differences among players. This season, each person's background represented the ORG they were representing.
* Originally, the name of this season was supposed to be *Twistvivor: ORGs at War*, inspired by *Survivor's* season *Winners at War*. However, being that this season precedes *Battle of the Seasons*, the name was officially changed to *Battle of the ORGs* in order to fit the theme of both seasons running back-to-back.
