this season was very different than others. the theme of this season was duos and players would start out as 10 duos to give us a record total of 20 players. the duos were split into 2 tribes with 5 duos on each tribe. in the 1st challenge, tambaqui defeated jaburu and mooocoww left the group so she came in 20th while prince charming advanced to redemption island. redemption island was back in play this season but there was also duo island, where duos would compete to be the representative from their duo on redemption island. the next challenge was better for jaburu as they were able to win. tambaqui voted out their least active duo in luke and shay. luke quit on duo island so he allowed shay to advance to RI. prince charming tho then defeated shay in RI to eliminate her. bblover found a HII and a twist allowed him to give an additional idol to some1 on jaburu. he gave an idol to spinner. jaburu then went on a losing streak. they struggled to win and lost a lot of close immunities. they had to vote out luigi & haythem, cowkal & 17kicke plus zach & neil when spinner played his idol to save him & princearthur. the closest duel battle before the merge was between zach and neil. in a game of 21 flags, zach barely defeated neil to get back into the game. luigi also won his way back by winning on RI. the merge came and zach & luigi became a new duo. spinner & princearthur and zach & luigi were in the biggest jeopardy going into the merge being down 8-4 in tribe numbers. bblover was secretly alligned with spinner so he protected him. when zach & luigi won immunity, bblover devised a plan to blindside michael & stoner. it worked and they were voted out. michael easily won on DI against an innactive stoner to advance to RI. zach & luigi were then able to win immunity AGAIN! with this happening, glinda & mrbigcar devised a plan to blindside bblover & nikki because they had too much power. them, zach & luigi, ev and princearthur went along with this plan and bblover & nikki got blindsided with an idol in bblovers pocket. nikki stepped down in DI to give bblover a chance at revenge. in a close duel that involved unscrambling names, michael was able to defeat bblover to clinch his spot on the jury. zach & luigi continued to dominate immunity challenges as they were safe again. it became jaburu vs. tambaqui again and the votes were tied between ev & mybash and spinner & prince. in a close tiebreaker, ev & mybash survived. prince then stepped down cuz he was satisfied with making the jury. spinner and michael faced off in a fasting where spinner may have played a little dirty, but he did prevail eliminating michael. next challenge zach & luigi's immunity reign was finally over and ev & mybash were able to win. zach however, had an idol leaving glinda & mrbigcar to be the only eligible duo to be voted out. in a close duel glinda stayed alive but then went on to lose to spinner in RI. glinda set a record for best placement by a white level in my series. with 5 left, the duos were no more and it became 5 individual players. spinner won immunity guaranteeing him a spot in the final 4. spinner was so afraid of zach winning again that he decided to flip on his former jaburu teammates and vote zach out. with 4 left, ev won immunity. the tambaqui and jaburus decided to split the vote. spinner didnt want ev and mybash making final 3 and mybash didnt want to go up against spinner in a tiebreaker. in the tiebreaker, luigi survived and moved on to the final 3. in a very close battle between ev and spinner, ev surprised some people by defeating spinner in the final immunity. ev then voted out spinner and took luigi to the final 2. ev went on to become the sole survivor in a 5-1 vote.
