Information: Season Name: Survivor: Holonymy Number of Contestants: 20 Tribes: Curacoa (color varies; see twist below) Twists:Pre-Merge:Teams: In a variation of the Anarchy twist, all contestants will be a member of one tribe from the start. However, they will not all be competing against each other; each member of the tribe will be a team (akin to The Amazing Race). There will be ten teams of two, and each team will compete in challenges together.As everyone is a member of one tribe, each team will have different colors to help with viewer recognition.Teams will be randomly selected, but will not change for every challenge like done in Anarchy; once you're on a team, you're stuck on that team unless circumstances change (see below).Challenges will be scored in four different ways: the total of both team members' score; the total of just one team member's score, in which case the other team member will sit out; the average of both team members' score; and abstractly, for challenges such as buff and flag design.Challenges will be held in these varying formats to accommodate the fact that teams will lose members regularly; for example, after the first Tribal Council, one team will be down to only one member.Team extinction is a possibility. The right to shake up the teams at random intervals, however, is reserved, both to shake up the game and to keep it balanced.Every round, a certain number of teams will win immunity and not attend Tribal Council, akin to the Anarchy twist. Depending on the number of contestants and teams left in the game, this number could be anywhere from 3 to potentially 6 or higher teams. Hidden Immunity Idols: Yes, Idols. The winners of each rounds immunity challenge - every contestant who wins immunity - will be offered a choice between Clue #1 and Clue #2. Their collective, or majority, decision, will be the clue they receive.One clue leads to the traditional Hidden Immunity Idol.The other clue leads to a reverse Hidden Immunity Idol. This Idol will automatically be played at the next Tribal Council that the holder is eligible to be voted out at, and will negate every vote cast against whoever the holder votes for. To make it simple: If Sandra votes for Russell, every vote cast for Russell will not count.Idols will be recirculated after their initial use, but only twice, leading to a maximum of six times an Idol can be played in the game. Post-Merge:Traditional Merge: At some point, Teams will cease to be and the merge will happen traditionally, signaled by the "moving to a new beach", a new tribe name, and a universal tribe color.Hidden Immunity Idols will continue to be in play; however, now, the only person who will receive a clue is the winner of the reward challenge. Sole Vote: Towards the end of the game, one contestant will win a combined reward/immunity challenge. This winner will cast the sole vote on who they would like eliminated from the game.This twist could potentially not come into play depending on the direction the season has taken to that point. Various Twists: Immunity Challenge advantages may also be offered as rewards in addition to the Idol clue. The Auction, and various twists that have been associated with it, will also come into play. Other Information:The season will be set on Curacoa Island, in Australia. Holonymy is the relationship between a term denoting the whole and and a term denoting the whole; i.e., Australia is a Holon because the continent Australia consists solely of the country Australia, making it both a part and a whole. The teams on a tribe lead to a similar example; the teams are individual parts of an entire tribe, but the teams themselves are the tribe, giving them holonymy.
