Survivor: Turkey is the 16th season of Survivor: Wikia.
Following two huge seasons; Madagascar and Peru, Turkey was largely disliked by the ORG community due to the slow pace of the season and inactivity of contestants, which lead to multiple self-votes during the merge phase of the game. Regardless of its shortcomings, Turkey had redeeming qualities in creating a strong winner and having a couple of memorable castaways.
Twists[]
- Schoolyard Pick: For the first time since Survivor: Revival and the first time in an all-newbies season, the tribes will be determined by a schoolyard pick. The captains of the tribes are the oldest and youngest contestant of the season.
- Hidden Immunity Idol: At least one immunity idol will be hidden somewhere in the game. Further information about the idol will be revealed to the person who finds it. In the unlikely event that every non-immune contestant uses an idol, the idols will cancel each other out and have no effect.
- Exile Mountain: After each reward challenge, the winning contestant/tribe will send at least one person to Exile Mountain, where they will receive a clue to the location of a Hidden Immunity Idol.
- Tribe Switch: On Day 13 the tribes were switched up to have both tribes include three original Bazîd members and three original Îdir members.
