Kool's Survivor Maldives

Survivor Maldives was the first season of Kool's Survivor Longterms.This season was hosted by ItzMagic_Koolguy and was filmed in the Maldive Islands, where 18 castaways competed for 39 days for the title of Sole Survivor.

Overview
After two lackluster seasons Kool made the Survivor Discord server and a cast was formed. It had a mix of expedience players as we as newbies to the game. The season was fun to watch. The one problem I had with the season was that there were always people missing sessions which made it harder to form alliances. As the game progressed more and more favorites were voted out

Twists
--Exile Island: One member of both tribes were sent to Exile Island each round to hunt for the idol.

--Tribe Swap: On day 13 the two tribes swapped.

--Double Tribal: Day 27 saw the double tribal twist where two cast members would be voted out back to back.

--Hidden Immunity Idol: A Hidden Immunity Idol was hidden at both camps and Exile Island.

Castaways
** Jay went home in a surprise double tribal.

Trivia
--11 of the 18 cast members went to Exile Island.

--This season had male castaways outnumber the females 9-1.

--Alex won 3 immunity changes in a row.

--Julian was the first person to play an idol saving himself at the final 9.

--Two cast members had the same name Tony and were recognized by the first letter of their Roblox username. This was not a problem as the Tony's never crossed paths.

Reception
The first season was a good one with a fun cast and a lot of twists. The game started with two tribes of nine Akohuna green and Nasutaki purple. The Nasutaki tribe was the stronger of the two winning three of the four pre-swap challenges. The two tribes swapped at the final fourteen setting four Nasutaki to three Akohuna per tribe. However contestant Shawn chose to walk from the game due to his own mental health difficulties. After blindsides sent Tony L. and Kyle out of the game the tribes merged at eleven.

The audience was not to sure how to react to the pre-merge as many of the stronger cast members were gone. The merge began with a bang with favorites Kitty and Nick being voted out. In the final nine immunity challenge Caleb thought he was unfairly eliminated and was given an advantage in the next challenge however after an idol play Caleb was sent to the jury. Following his vote off it was reveled to be a double tribal council and Julian's idol was still in play this is what lead to Jay joining the ever growing jury.

With most of the strong/likable cast members out it look like Alex would win the season however he lost his first challenge at the final 7 and at one of the most controversial tribal councils of the season was idoled out of the game. The first tie of the season was seen at the final 6 with Tony and Brooke both receiving three votes and in the re-vote the last deserving player was sent to ponderosa.

The final five looked weak and it was anyone's game to win. Kevon won his first immunity and Julian was voted out 3-2. With Julian gone Tony D. was the biggest target left and he knew he had to win or go home. The challenge was a close one and it ended with Antonio beating Tony by mere seconds. At tribal Antonio took Ross to the end sending Kevon and Tony to a fire making duel. The showdown was close but it was Tony D. who came out on top sending Kevon a player who was yet to receive a vote to the Jury.

Summary
Day 1

Deep in the Maldives 18 castaways began the adventure of a life time.

Akohuna - Ross / Cyrus / Brooke / Tony L. / Jack / Kevon / Nick / Diego / Shawn

Nasutaki - Antonio / Kyle / Kitty / Jay / Tom / Alex / Caleb / Tony D. / Julian

This season started out with a BANG when Kool revealed the major twist of the game: Exile Island. After the challenge the wining tribe will send someone on the losing tribe who would in turn pick someone from the wining tribe to join them on this Island.

On the Akohuna tribe Tony L. and Nick grow close well on Nasutaki not to many people were talking.

Day 3
Despite being down 3 members at the session the Nasutaki tribe won an unlikely immunity sending Shawn and Julian to Exile. At the Island Julian found the idol well at Akohuna Jack was seen as the weakest and an easy vote, however he pushed to vote out Tony L.

In the end Jack was voted off 4-3-2.



Day 6
After voting Jack out Akohuna rebounded and won for the first time. Tony L. and Caleb went to Exile but had no luck. Back at camp Nasutaki was planing to vote for Kitty as she was not at the session but before tribal the group changed the plan to Kyle.

Right before the vote Alex restated the plan however it turned out Kyle was at the session and the vote was delayed.

In the end the tribe settled on Tom the only person to not show up for a part of the session voting him out unanimously.

Day 9
At the third immunity challenge of the season, Jay had a hard time finishing but the Nasutaki still managed to win once again. At Akohuna Cyrus went off on his tribe he starting yelling about how Tony was a sheep. Having a very big breakdown. In the end he was given the ax in a 6-2 vote off.

Day 12
With the cancer of the tribe gone Akohuna looked good in the challenge taking a 3-0 lead. Alex on the other hand had a different plan and won 4 rounds in a row saving Nasutaki. At Exile the two females talked well at camp Diego believing he was in the majority thought the vote was Shawn but Tony had other plans for him.

At tribal Diego felt safe but was blindsided 6-1.

Day 13
Survivor's drop you buffs we are switching tribes.

New Akohuna - Ross / Kyle / Brooke / Tony D. / Alex / Kevon / Julian

New Nasutaki - Antonio / Kitty / Jay / Caleb / Tony L. / Nick / Shawn

At the new Akohuna tribe it looked like old Nasutaki would stick together well at new Nasutaki Shawn was planing to blindside Tony L.

Day 14
Kool? I have been dealing with a lot lately and I don't know if I can continue. I'm sorry to everyone else in the game and I wish you all luck. Goodbye.

On day 14 Shawn chose to walk from the game due to his own mental health difficulties, we wish him the best and hope that he gets better.

Day 15
With Shawn out and Nick not at the session Tony L. new that he was in danger. At the handball like immunity challenge Akohuna got off to a lead and won 3-0.

With Jay at Exile Island Tony tried to get the votes on him to no avail. When Jay came back to camp Tony took him aside saying the whole tribe was voting him and the only way to stay was to vote for Caleb.

Not knowing who to trust Jay told his concerns to Kitty and after a quick talk a plan was in place.

At tribal Tony bluffed with an idol but could not win over a single vote and the power player went out before the merge.

Day 18
With Tony gone Nick was the easy vote on Nasutaki. At the immunity challenge it was reviled that both individual and tribal immunity were up for grabs. Caleb out lasted his tribe and Brooke beat hers guaranteeing a spot in the merge. In the final round Caleb beat Brooke winning it for Nasutaki.

With Brooke safe it looked like Kevon or Ross would be voted out but Alex had a different idea.

Before tribal Kyle asked him if he was being blindsided the answer was yes and in a 6-1 vote Kyle became the last pre-merge boot.

Day 19
Survivors drop your buffs we are merging tribes.

Aikai - Nick / Jay / Alex / Ross / Kevon / Tony D. / Brooke / Kitty / Antonio / Caleb / Julian

On day 19 the two tribes became one.

Day 21
At the first individual immunity challenge of the season Alex beat out Brooke giving him a one in ten shot of winning the game.

Back at the Aikai camp Alex wanted to vote out Kitty and with little opposition to that plan Kitty became the first member of the jury in a 8-2-1 vote.

Day 24
Alex seemed to have no trouble in the get a grip challenge winning immunity once again. At camp Alex look to take out Nick feeling he was a physical threat.

At tribal Nick thought that Jay was going home but was sent out of the game in a 8-2 vote.

Day 27
After getting votes at the last two tribal council Jay knew it was time to make a move, thinking he had Caleb and Brooke on his side he tried to rally votes on Julian.

The challenge came down to Caleb and Alex and it looked like there was no end in sight when Caleb was accused of making the bar brake and was asked to step down from the challenge. Caleb denied this and was given an advantage in the next immunity challenge if he agreed to let it go.

Safe once again not only did Alex get to send the last group of people to Exile Island he also won a note which he would read after the vote.

At Exile Jay tried to get Kevon on his side and when he returned to camp told his plan to Caleb who told the rest of the tribe.

At tribal Kool told Caleb he was surprised that he wasn't getting many votes then it was time to vote.

With the votes cast Caleb tried to play himself has an idol and Julian shocked everyone when he played his idol.

Julian`s idol did not make much difference as Caleb was voted out 4-3-1-1.

Day 27 Continued
With Caleb gone Jay knew that he had to regroup at the next session but it was then time for Alex to read his note it read:

``You've just voted out a member of your tribe.. Now vote off another.``

With Julian`s idol still in play Jay tried to throw Antonio under the bus as he was not at the session. His pleas however were falling on deaf ears as Jay became the second casualty of the night.

Day 30
With Jay and Caleb gone it looked like no one was left to challenge Alex`s rule. At camp Brooke found the idol.

The immunity challenge was Touchy Subjects which Tony D. won.

At camp Alex tried to get Tony to give up immunity to him as they were voting Ross.

At tribal however Kool did not ask Tony if he wanted to give up immunity and went straight to the vote. Kool then read the first two votes one was Ross and one was for Alex. Brooke then stood up say that he had forgotten to ask for idols and she was playing hers on Ross. This made Alex mad as Brooke should not be aloud to play the idol after knowing two of the votes after a long fight between the host and Alex, Brooke`s idol was played for Ross and Alex the most promising castaway of the season was eliminated with just two votes cast against him.

Day 33
With Alex out it looked like Brooke was the one to beat. At camp Antonio found the hidden immunity idol. It looked like Antonio or Tony D. would win the challenge but Julian made a comeback winning immunity for a second time.

After the challenge Brooke wanted to take out Tony, well Tony was looking to send Brooke home.

At tribal Ross and Antonio sided with Brooke and Kevon and Julian sided with Tony causing the first tie vote of the season.

With the votes tied no one wanted to go to rocks and despite Brooke saving him at the last tribal council Ross flipped on the re-vote sending his former tribe mate out of the game.
