Twist #1 (Barely a twist)
First of all, this season will be under the theme of "One World" meaning the passing of advantages, idols, etc. can be done between anyone in the game. Also, I normally like to keep players from separate tribes from being able to communicate about the game, but with the "One World" aspect that is not needed.

Twist #2 & the main twist of the season

SECRET PAIRS

Secret Pairs: Each of the contestant from OSAKA will randomly draw the name of a contestant on the SHIKOKU tribe. Together, they are a "secret pair". Pair A (OSAKA) is in charge of telling Pair B (SHIKOKU) that they are partnered with them, and can choose to tell them or not. The last pair remaining will win some sort of reward, depending on when they become the last pair standing. The rewards are listed below:
If won at or before the F9 Tribal: Two rounds of immunity.
If won at the F8 Tribal: One round of immunity, advantage at F6 immunity challenge.
If won at the F7 Tribal: One round of immunity.
If won at the F6 Tribal: Advantage at the F5 immunity challenge

Just some other information

There will be FOUR (4) hidden immunity idols pre-merge (although they could go into post-merge)
There will be ONE (1) hidden immunity idol post-merge (although there could be some left over from pre-merge)

and lastly

I know it has been a very slow start, but I do have a special challenge planned to start the season. So tomorrow begins the first challenge, but it will be non-live and begin at 8 PM EST once again.
