Season Summary[]
When the seaon began, twelve new castaways and eight returning castaways were split into 10 'Dynamic Duos'. These Duos would be voted out together, would battle of Duo Island together, and also work together to make it further in the game. Ulong dominated the first two challenges, but Koror fought back and won the next two challenges. Then both tribes went to Tribal Council. Caliboy and Jordan were voted off, and then there was a Tribe Switch. A shocking one. The Duos were split onto seperate tribes, forced to work on their own without their Duo. This was a difficult time, as most alliances were with their Duos. When Koror and Ulong merged in Angaur, there was a Double Tribal Council. A strong Vets Alliance of Six consisting of the six remaining returning players - Qwerty, Subfriend, Soccer, Joeker, Gaiaphage and Sparks - was set to dominate the game at the 10-person merge. Jamie and Jordan, the other returnees, had already been voted out. However, the alliance did not work out. Qwerty realised Gaiaphage and Joeker were potential threats, so he teamed up with his Duo Subfriend and flipped to the remaining four new players, who needed them for a majority. Gaiaphage and Joeker got voted out. At the next Tribal Council, Sparks and Soccer, the two remaining veterans who didn't flip, needed to get the flippers Qwerty and Subfriend out. As Qwerty and Subfriend were the last remaining Dynamic Duo not seperated in the game, the newbies voted with Soccer and Sparks, causing the eliminations of both Qwerty and Subfriend. 4 out of the 6 returning players that had merged were gone. The Vets Alliance was a disaster. But, the last two returning players Soccer and Sparks had a firm grasp on the game. They voted out Bingo and Alex to take them to the Final 4 with Tyler and Unit. At the Final 3, Unit gave Immunity up to 77sparks77 and Soccer got unanimously voted out. Sparks was then voted as the Sole Survivor in a 3-2-1 vote, as people thought he should win as this was his 4th time playing the game.

Twists[]
Dynamic Duos[]
At the start of the season, people got voted off in their Duos and sent to Duo Island. On Duo Island, they would duel it off to see who will return to the game, and who will be out for good. The player who returned was Immune until a certain point in the game. Post-merge, if you won Immunity, your Duo would win Immunity with you if they were still in the game. At the Final 4, if you and your Duo were still in the game, then they would automaticaly get a place in the Final 3. This did not happen, as all Duos were split up by Day 10.
