Survivor: Italy



Survivor: Italy is a Reality Based Game hosted by BottleItUp. It is based on the TV show Survivor.

For the next 39 days, twenty castaways from throughout the United States will attempt to outwit, outplay, and outlast their other nineteen opponents. At the end, one will be crowned the Sole Survivor and win the grand prize money: $1,000,000. Over the time they castaways are marooned, they will have to learn to adapt to camp life, a tough life without much food and without much sleep. They must adapt or possibly face being voted out. They must battle the elements, face their competitors head on, and compete in brutal challenges along the way. This season, Survivor is visiting Italy, a beautiful country in southern Europe [this season is Survivor's very first visit to Europe] with hundreds of miles of coastline along the Mediterranean Sea. It is on one of Italy's many beaches that the castaways will be battling it out this season to become the one Sole Survivor.

Reward Challenge

 * The round begins on the challenge beach with the reward challenge. During reward, there will be 10 plates up for grabs. Five members of each tribe sign up for a number one thru ten; but only one plate is a gold plate. The owner of the gold plate's tribe wins the reward challenge, and therefore will get a small advantage in the immunity challenge for the round. Then, we move on to the Exile portion of the round.

Exile Island

 * The Tribe Leader whose tribe won reward will now have the opportunity to send two castaways to Exile Island: one from each tribe. At Exile Island, no one may communicate with the two Exilees, and they may not post in the thread. The two Exilees may only communicate with each other, via private message. Both will receive a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, which will be hidden somewhere on Exile Island. They may share this clue with whoever they please when they get back to camp, but at Exile, they must interpret it themselves. You may only make a guess to the location of the Hidden Immunity Idol while you are at Exile Island. The two Exilees will be back in time for immunity.

Immunity Challenge

 * After the two exilees return, we go to the tribal immunity challenge. Whichever tribe collectively scores higher on the challenge will be safe, and the losing tribe will be sent to tribal council. Challenges for this game will be relatively straight forward. There will be ONE live challenge, and it will be pre-merge, and only one of your tribe members will have to be here for it to happen. Several challenges will take place in thread. Immunity will also last 24 hours, unless extensions are granted.

Tribal Council

 * The losing tribe will head back to their beach, where it will be time for tribal council. Questions will be posted, and castaways will have 24 hours to vote. After voting, the elimination will be posted and the round will be over. If there is a tie in votes, everyone but the people voted into the tie will go into a revote. If there is still a tie, everyone other than the players voted into the tie will draw rocks; the person who draws the purple rock will be eliminated. At final four, if this happens, we will instead go to a fire-making challenge.

Round 1
The games began when the castaways were separated into two tribes; Domenica and Fiore.

They started off the competition by voting for tribe leaders. Domenica elected Declan in a vote of 6-2-1-1, while Fiore elected Skipper after a vote of 4-2-1-1-1.

After the tribe leader elections, the tribes came to the challenge beach where they competed in their first Reward Challenge. The winners were Domenica, with their tribe leader Declan pulling out a win for them. He decided to send Jaremi and Skipper to exile.

When Jaremi and Skipper were supposed to return from exile, the first twist was revealed: they wouldn't be coming back until the next round. Instead, two new players joined the game: Maia (on Domenica) and Iza (on Fiore), and this round everyone competed for individual immunity rather than tribal immunity. The two highest scorers on the challenge from each tribe won themselves immunity.

After a very difficult challenge for most of the players, Quinn and newcomer Maia won immunity on Domenica while Xavier and Rajanighanda won for Fiore; all four became immune from tribal council.

At Fiore's tribal council, Bonnie was eliminated in a lopsided vote of 9-1, while over at Domenica, Elliot was eliminated in an intense vote of 6-4.


 * Reward Challenge winners: Domenica
 * Exiled: Jaremi & Skipper
 * Immunity Challenge: "Cucina Italia"
 * Winners: Maia & Quinn (Domenica); Rajanighanda & Xavier (Fiore)
 * (Fiore) Voted off: Bonnie
 * Vote: 9-1
 * (Domenica) Voted off: Elliot
 * Vote: 6-4

Round 2
We saw our first real normal round of gameplay. The game had gotten off to an odd start the previous round, with two new castaways in the middle of the round, and a double tribal council, but this round was just traditional Survivor.

At the beginning of the round, the tribes returned to the challenge beach where they competed in their second Reward Challenge. This time around, the winners were Fiore, with tribemate Rajanighanda pulling out a win for them. Tribe leader Skipper decided to send Rajanighanda and Declan to Exile Island. They both managed to return safely.

After the two exilees returned, the immunity challenge happened in a split second, with Jorge competing against a whole slew of Fiore members. Fiore won the first real tribal immunity challenge and forced Domenica to attend tribal council.

At tribal council, Domenica voted out Katie 6-3-1, over Declan and Dallas.


 * Reward Challenge winners: Fiore
 * Exiled: Declan & Rajanighanda
 * Immunity Challenge: "Venti Bandiere"
 * Winners: Fiore
 * Voted off: Katie
 * Vote: 6-3-1

Round 3
At the beginning of the round, the tribes returned to the challenge beach where they competed in their third Reward Challenge. This time around, the winners were Domenica. Tribe leader Declan decided to send Skipper and Maia to Exile Island. They both managed to return safely.

After the two exilees returned, the immunity challenge occurred, and due to Iza not completing the challenge, Domenica pulled out a close win, forcing Fiore to attend tribal council.

At tribal council, Fiore voted out Iza 5-2-2-1, over Sasha, Chloe and Xavier.


 * Reward Challenge winners: Domenica
 * Exiled: Maia & Skipper
 * Immunity Challenge: "Famosi Monumenti"
 * Winners: Domenica
 * Voted off: Iza
 * Vote: 5-2-2-1

Round 4
At the beginning of the round, the tribes swapped, and rather than there being two tribes, the castaways were split into three tribes of six people each: Fiore, Domenica and the new Libri tribe. Three new tribe leaders were handpicked; Ashleigh-Jeanne, Maia and Baby for Fiore, Domenica and Libri respectively.

The Domenica tribe won the fourth reward challenge, and Maia sent Declan and Jaremi to Exile Island. They both managed to return safely.

At the immunity challenge, Domenica had a stellar showing and really worked together, sending both of the other tribes to tribal council, forcing them to narrow down the field from 18 to 16.

At Fiore's tribal council, Jorge was sent packing in a surprising vote of 3-2-1 over Ashleigh-Jeanne and Declan.

At Libri's tribal council, Ella played a hidden immunity idol on herself and canceled the 3 votes that would have sent her packing, instead sending Baby home in a 2-1 vote over Jaremi, that proved that Survivor is an unpredictable game - anything can happen at any time.


 * Reward Challenge winners: Domenica
 * Exiled: Jaremi & Declan
 * Immunity Challenge: "In the Knick of Time"
 * Winners: Domenica
 * (Fiore) Voted off: Jorge
 * Vote: 3-2-1
 * (Libri) Voted off: Baby
 * Vote: 2-1

Round 5
At the beginning of the episode, the two surviving tribe leaders, Maia and Ashleigh-Jeanne, created two new tribes. Each wrote a list based on who they wanted on their tribes the most, and picked back and forth until the new tribes were decided.

The two new tribes reported to the challenge beach for the Reward Challenge, where Domenica proved victorious. Tribe leader Maia exiled Declan and Ella.

After the two exilees returned, the immunity challenge occurred, and Domenica proved victorious, forcing Libri to go to tribal council, as they were plagued by incomplete challenges.

At tribal council, Ella played a hidden immunity idol for the second consecutive tribal council, and nullified 4 votes that would have sent her packing. Instead, by a vote of 3-1, Ashleigh-Jeanne, the tribe leader, was surprisingly sent packing over Quinn[, who self-voted to receive her third and final strike.


 * Reward Challenge winners: Domenica
 * Exiled: Declan & Ella
 * Immunity Challenge: "The Labyrinth"
 * Winners: Domenica
 * Voted off: Ashleigh-Jeanne
 * Vote: 3-1

Round 6
The Libri tribe won the sixth reward challenge, and Gio sent Ella and Skipper to Exile Island. They both managed to return safely.

At the immunity challenge, Domenica worked together well to win the challenge, sending Libri to their second consecutive tribal council.

At Libri's tribal council, Ella was finally eliminated in a close vote of 4-3 over Bri.


 * Reward Challenge winners: Libri
 * Exiled: Ella & Skipper
 * Immunity Challenge: "The Tower"
 * Winners: Domenica
 * Voted off: Ella
 * Vote: 4-3

Round 7
At the beginning of the episode, three new tribes were chosen in a chain reaction-style picking. Each new tribe had four people each, leaving off Dallas and Chloe from being on any tribe. And then, the twist was revealed - these two had made merge, and this week, two of the three tribes would be going to tribal council. The best performer on the challenge of the two losing tribes would win individual immunity, and each losing tribe would vote someone out. Then, everyone would merge.

The new tribes were:

There was no reward challenge or exile island in this episode.

The immunity challenge occurred, and for once, the forever unlucky Libri tribe came out on top, securing all four members a spot in the jury and the merge. Maia won immunity on Domenica and Rajani won immunity on Fiore.

At Domenica's tribal council, Andres was voted out 3-1, and at Fiore's tribal council, Quinn was voted out 3-1.


 * Reward Challenge winners: none
 * Exiled: none
 * Immunity Challenge: "Puzzler"
 * Winners: Libri; Rajani (Fiore); Maia (Domenica)
 * (Domenica) Voted off: Andres
 * Vote: 3-1
 * (Fiore) Voted off: Quinn
 * Vote: 3-1

Round 8
At the beginning of the episode, the twelve remaining castaways merged into the Amore tribe, after having been through three pre-merge swaps.

Everyone received colors for the final hidden immunity idol while Lilith won the reward challenge.

A social immunity challenge occurred, and Rajani came out on top this time, winning herself individual immunity for the third time in the game.

At tribal council, there was a 6-6 tie vote between Maia and Alistair. In the revote, someone flipped and Maia was sent packing to become the first juror at Ponderosa by a 6-4 vote.


 * Reward Challenge winner: Lilith
 * Immunity Challenge: "Enemies"
 * Winner: Rajani
 * Voted off: Maia
 * Vote: 6-4

Round 9
At the beginning of the episode, the eleven remaining castaways competed in another reward challenge. The finder of the golden plate this time was Jaremi, who won +500 points on the immunity challenge and the idol color of the newly eliminated Maia.

After the reward challenge, the castaways proceeded to the immunity challenge; and this week, it was a doozy. Castaways had to press a button as many times as they could within the 24 hour deadline, and although it was a tedious task, they performed extremely well. Skipper managed to come out on top, narrowly beating out Jaremi to win safety at tribal council.

At tribal council, Dallas continued to be chastised by Chloe and Gio, who said he was playing for 7th place. When the votes were read, in a close vote of 6-5, Gio was sent packing to join Maia at Ponderosa, and the ten remaining castaways came one step closer to winning one million dollars.


 * Reward Challenge winner: Jaremi
 * Immunity Challenge: "Endurance"
 * Winner: Skipper
 * Voted off: Gio
 * Vote: 6-5

Round 10
To start off the episode, the ten remaining castaways headed to the challenge beach, where they competed in another reward challenge. The finder of the golden plate ended up being Xavier, who had 5 minutes taken off his time in the immunity challenge.

Prior to the immunity challenge, the castaways were informed of the twist this week - it would be a double tribal council, cutting the field down from 10 to 8 in just one episode. The winner of the immunity challenge would be immune through both tribal councils. Then, the person voted out at the first tribal council would have the opportunity to grant someone else immunity from the second vote.

Based on the twist, the castaways all gave it their all in the high-stakes immunity challenge. But it was once again challenge powerhouse Rajani who came out on top, narrowly beating out Declan and Xavier to secure herself safety at the two upcoming tribal councils.

At the first tribal council, Declan shockingly played his Hidden Immunity Idol, canceling the six votes that were cast against him and sparing his alliance for another vote. The remaining four votes all went to Skipper, who unfortunately became the next castaway eliminated from the game, joining Maia and Gio in Ponderosa.

After Skipper granted immunity to Alistair, the final 9 headed into the second vote, and it surprisingly ended up being a tie - 4 votes Declan, 4 votes Bri and 1 vote Jaremi. In the revote, Declan was finally eliminated and sent to Ponderosa by a vote of 4-3.


 * Reward Challenge winner: Xavier
 * Immunity Challenge: "Cryptograms"
 * Winner: Rajani
 * Voted off: Skipper
 * Vote: 4-0
 * Immunity given to: Alistair
 * Voted off: Declan
 * Vote: 4-3

Round 11
To start the last episode, the seven remaining castaways headed to the challenge beach, where they competed in another reward challenge. The finder of the golden plate ended up being Xavier, again, who had 5 minutes taken off his time in the immunity challenge. But would it help him this time?

The castaways gave it their all in another difficult immunity challenge, but once again, challenge powerhouse Rajani pulled through by winning yet another immunity and preserving her spot in the game. Will her immunity streak ever end?

At tribal council, the remaining members of the minority felt the heat and they scrambled for another 3 days, but at the end, it proved to be no use. Jaremi was voted out and became the fifth member of the jury, by a vote of 5-2-1 over Alistair and Dallas.


 * Reward Challenge winner: Xavier
 * Immunity Challenge: "Ghosts of Survivor's Past"
 * Winner: Rajani
 * Voted off: Jaremi
 * Vote: 5-2-1

Round 12
To start the last episode, the seven remaining castaways headed to the challenge beach, where they competed in another reward challenge. The finder of the golden plate ended up being Bri, who only had to climb 2 floors in the immunity challenge.

In the social-based immunity challenge, where castaways had to climb and elevator while trying not to get cut by each other, Dallas managed to win his first individual immunity of the game, barely beating out Alistair for his win. And with that, Rajani's immunity streak was also snapped.

At tribal council, the game changed immensely. People in the majority alliance began to feel uncomfortable and voted with the 2 remaining minority members for Rajani. However, fearing an attempted blindside on her, Rajani played the final hidden immunity idol and negated all the votes for her. In the end, 3 votes for her were canceled, and Chloe was sent home with 3 votes to Lilith's 1 vote.


 * Reward Challenge winner: Bri
 * Immunity Challenge: "Elevator"
 * Winner: Dallas
 * Voted off: Chloe
 * Vote: 3-1

Round 13
At the beginning of the last episode, the castaways were informed there would be no more reward challenge. Instead, they proceeded straight to immunity.

When the castaways got to the challenge beach, they were informed that this week's challenge would be a sliding puzzle. Shockingly, or maybe not so much, Rajani won her fifth immunity in seven outings, securing herself a place in the finale and a shot at the million. No one else was even able to complete the puzzle.

After the previous round's crazy tribal council, this one was relatively tame in comparison. Dallas pretty much chose to bow out of the competition, and by a vote of 5-1, he was voted out over Bri and became the seventh member of the jury.


 * Immunity Challenge: "Italy Slide"
 * Winner: Rajani
 * Voted off: Dallas
 * Vote: 5-1

Finale
The finale began with the final five competing in their penultimate immunity challenge: a classic jury statement challenge. Each juror submitted a statement about the game and the castaways had to do their best to identify them. However, at the end of the day, it was Bri who came out with immunity for her first time in the game. However, later that day when the tribe returned from the challenge beach to their camp, Bri controversially gave her immunity necklace to her close ally Rajani, who she thought was more vulnerable going into the vote. Going into tribal council, this seemed to shock everyone and open a window of possibility for a shocking late-game move.

However, instead of Bri turning into a second coming of Erik, the plan remained the same and the four remaining contestants ganged up on Lilith, the unlikely underdog and last remaining holy roller. In a 4-1 vote over Bri, Lilith's Cinderella run ended at fifth place.


 * Immunity Challenge: "Jury Statements"
 * Winner: Bri Rajani
 * Voted off: Lilith
 * Vote: 4-1

After Lilith was voted out, the final four returned to camp and were informed they had another task before they could commence with the Final Immunity Challenge. These were the Rites of Passage, where the final four had to acknowledge all of their eighteen fallen comrades who had helped them get to this point in the game.

Shortly after the finalists finished acknowledging the voted out players, they headed to the challenge beach for the final immunity challenge. This challenge was a classic - a good old fashioned endurance challenge. In the end, Rajani came out on top, stunning everybody by holding on for 19 hours to secure her spot in the final three.

At the final tribal council before the final tribal council, three of the four remaining castaways took out the fourth who was assumed to be a huge jury threat. Xavier ended up being vote out 3-1 over Bri, killing his chances at winning and making the final three Bri, Rajani and Alistair.


 * Immunity Challenge: "Endurance, pt. 2"
 * Winner: Rajani
 * Voted off: Xavier
 * Vote: 3-1

At final tribal council, the final three faced the jury of nine. Bri was chastised by the jury for not playing for herself, while Alistair Rajani each were asked about the deals they broke over the course of the game. After all of the questions had been asked, the jury voted. Bri finished third with one vote from Xavier; Alistair finished second with three votes from Lilith, Dallas and Gio while Rajani was crowned the Sole Survivor with the five votes of Chloe, Jaremi, Declan, Skipper and Maia.


 * Final Tribal Council
 * 2nd Runner-up: Bri (1 vote)
 * Runner-up: Alistair (3 votes)
 * Sole Survivor: Rajani (5 votes)
