The Island

**The Island**, also known as *The Island: Necker Island*, is the first season of *The Island ORG*. The online reality game competition is a blend of popular reality TV shows such as *Big Brother US/UK*, *Love Island* and *Survivor*. The season premiered on Monday July 25th, 2022 and finished on Thursday August 18th, 2022 when Bethany/Dorian were crowned the winners against runner-ups Noah/Ryan and third placers Audrey/Kevin.

*The Island* involves a cast, also known as islanders, living in isolation within a discord channel under constant surveillance. They have a confessional room, one-on-one chats with other islanders and alliance chats. To survive the game each islander must be coupled up with another islander whether it's for friendship, love or money. The winning duo will receive $100 and one of them will have the ultimate decision whether to share or steal the cash prize. On the first day, islanders couple up for the first time based on first impressions but over the duration of the season they are forced to re-couple; deciding whether to stay in their current duo or form a new one with a different islander.

Any islander left solo after couplings are usually eliminated from the game. Islanders can also be eliminated through both viewer and islander vote-offs. Viewer votes are done from a form sheet where each viewer can vote. How the vote works varies. Islanders who receive the fewest votes are at risk of being eliminated. Islanders also compete in immunity challenges where the winners are safe from elimination and potentially a power which allows them to pick first at the next re-coupling ceremony. During the final days, the viewers will vote for their favorite duo to win the $100 prize.

* **Re-Coupling Ceremony** - The coupling ceremonies where islanders decided to stick with their duo or to duo with a different islander. A random bot decided who got to pick. The islanders who did not get a priority pick at the previous ceremony got one at the following ceremony unless picked by someone else. If there was an even number, the last two picked would automatically form a duo. If there was an odd number, the islander left unpicked was eliminated from the game unless there was a twist. These ceremonies took place on *Day 3*, *Day 5*, *Day 7*, *Day 10*, *Day 12*, *Day 14*, *Day 16*, *Day 20* and *Day 23*.

### **Twists**

* **Casa Amor** - The 12 current islanders were split into two villas; the *Main Villa* and the *Casa Amor Villa*. One person from each duo were separated. They were not allowed to contact anyone from the opposite villa to them. Each villa were tested with *6 bombshells each* and at the end of the twist, the OG 12 islanders decided whether to stick with their islander in the opposite villa or to duo with one of the new islanders. This twist took place from *Day 12* to *Day 14*.
* **Steal Ceremony** - The ceremony where bombshells who entered the game were given the chance to steal someone to be in a duo with. These ceremonies took place on *Day 2* and *Day 11*.
