Survivor: Conqueror's Crusade is the twenty-fifth season of the second generation Suitman's Survivor Series, which began on June 12, 2015, and ended with a live reunion on July 6, 2015.
It ended with Sam S. defeating Jayson B. and Ben G. at the Final Tribal Council in a 5-4-0 vote. At the Reunion, Rhys won Fan Favorite.
Production[]
This season features twenty-four former winners of the First and Second Generations returning for a unique all-winner battle in celebration of the 50th total season. The tribes this season are named after the places in the Czech Republic. The tribes are Batelov, wearing red (spiral insignia), Kanina, in yellow (rectangle insignia), and Rusava, with green (circle insignia). On Day 10, the tribes merged into Ognob Mada, wearing purple.
For the applications, the still-active winners of Suitman's Survivor were divided into three separate groups in which they could apply, in an attempt to keep the knowledge of who was applying to play on the low and reduce the possibility of pre-game alliances.
27 former winners applied, 3 were cut from the casting, and the other 24 went on to become the castaways competing in the game. The full cast of 24 was revealed on June 8, 2015, and the tribal designations were revealed on June 11, 2015.
Twists[]
- Immunity Pacts: Before the premiere the castaways were instructed to list their top ten fellow castaways. Their lists were used to determine four distinct groups, known as Immunity Pacts. The group with the most members remaining at the time of the merge earns exclusive immunity for the first two votes, putting them at an immediate advantage.
- Three-Tribe Format: This season is the seventh season to have more than two tribes after All-Stars, Seychelles, Cursed Hand, Reclamation, New Zealand and Japan. It is the first three-tribe season to have more than 18 castaways, and the first time a dismantled tribe has been resurrected through a tribe switch.
- Returning Players: Twenty-four former winners from both generations returned this season for a unique season. All winners were eligible and so the majority of applicants made the final cut.
- Double Tribe Switch: On Day 4, the Batelov, Kanina and Rusava tribes underwent a tribe switch, mixing up the tribes. The Batelov tribe was dismantled in this switch, leaving only Kanina and Rusava. Then on Day 8, there was a shock second switch, which re-established Batelov as a tribe for the revival of the three-tribe format.
- Double Tribal Council: On three separate occasions - Day 3, Day 6 and Day 9 - two tribes went to Tribal Council to vote someone out. On Day 3 and Day 9, due to the three-tribe format, the challenge was still for tribal immunity, but with only one tribe winning. On Day 6, following the dismantling of Batelov, both tribes went to Tribal Council to vote someone out, with the challenge being individual.
- Hidden Immunity Idols: There was one hidden idol placed in each tribe camp, which could be found by correctly guessing the answer to the clues sent daily to the immune tribe. There was also an extra hidden idol in the post-merge camp.
