Twists
Seven Masks of Survival: This is the main twist. Seven differently colored masks are in play, each with a different power. Five can be used throughout the game, while two can only be used during certain parts of the game. Each mask is only good for one use; after use they are obliterated. The “clues” to six of the masks are given out at Redemption Island Duels, while the clue for the Mask of Takapuna is accessed by volunteering. Clues are modular; they stick with the person until the clue is answered correctly. However, other people are able to get the mask by finishing the questions more quickly than the other. The seven masks are:

- Mask of Tauranga (blue) - When played at a Tribal Council up to the Final Five, can give the user two votes to use at said Tribal Council.

- Mask of Rotorua (red) - When played at a Tribal Council, can negate the effectiveness of a vote from a person of the user's choice.

- Mask of Whangarei (green) - When played at either a Reward or Immunity Challenge, can sit out one member of each tribe, unless there is only two members of a tribe.

- Mask of Papakuri (purple) - When played at either a Reward or Immunity Challenge, can give the user and if pre-merge, his tribe an advantage at said challenge.

- Mask of Manukau (brown) - When played during post-merge, can nullify a person's Individual Immunity. Hard to find.

- Mask of Waitemata (indigo) - When played during pre-merge, can trigger a Schoolyard-Pick style tribe swap. The user picks another person to start of the picking on the opposite team. Also hard to find.

- Mask of Takapuna (silver) - The most powerful mask of all. Very hard to find. When used at any point during the game, can decide the fate of two people in the game. For example, two contestants could be put in a battle, and the loser would go to Redemption Island. Or, two contestants could do a battle for Immunity.

Redemption Island: The return of the most underrated twist ever. Redemption Island has the same rules as usual, but with two amendments:

1) Similar to how a loved one can switch for the duellists place, any member of a duellist's tribe can take the place of said duellist.

2) Due to the absence of Hidden Immunity Idols, the clues given out at a duel are for six of the Seven Masks. Takapuna is the exception.

One Returnee Per Tribe: Four returnees will play, one for each tribe. Each returnee is known as a finalist who failed to persuade the jury in their inaugural season

Two to Three Tribe Shuffles: Two Tribe Shuffles will happen, once at Final 21 and again at Final 16. Also, it could happen again if the Mask of Waitemata is played.

Internal Affairs
When are we online? Pretty much all the time.

Are the co-hosts on frequently? Yes, they will be.

Do you have experience in how challenges work? Yes, we all do. Plus David played in a Redemption-like challenge.

Can we guarantee that a record of confessionals will be kept? Yes. The four mods are splitting the tribes between us, while Tyler and Ash will sort them.

Will the season involve returning players? Look at twists if it hasn't caught on. Geez.

Last Words. We don't want to win based on popularity. We would much prefer if you voted simply on which bid was better. If you do that with whatever bid you choose, we will feel like winners anyway.
