Suitman's Survivor Second Generation Wiki

Survivor: New Zealand is the twenty-second season of the second generation Suitman's Survivor Series, which began on February 16, 2015, and ended with a live reunion on March 25, 2015.

It ended with John B. defeating Ethan H. and Joe E. at the Final Tribal Council in a 4-3 vote. At the Reunion, Nathan won Fan Favorite.

Production[]

This season features eighteen former castaways, divided into three tribes of six. They have all only played once before, with the exception of two people, and are this season divided into tribes based on three categories. Pre-merge boots ("Failures"), those who made the Final 3/2 ("Finalists"), and a selection of popular castaways ("Favorites"). The tribes for this season are named after places in New Zealand. The tribes are Kaota, wearing orange, Mamoe, in dark purple, and Takoto, with dark green. On Day 8, the tribes merged into Akarana, wearing red.

The entire cast of returning players were hand-picked by the host this season. The castaways were chosen for fitting one of the three divisional categories of the season - Failures, Finalists and Favorites. The full cast of 18 and tribal designations were revealed on February 8, 2015.

Twists[]

  • Failures vs. Finalists vs. Favorites: The tribes were divided by three distinct categories this season. Pre-merge boot failures (Kaota), past season finalists (Mamoe), and an arrangement of favorite castaways (Takoto).
  • Risky Reward: Castaways had the opportunity to trade in their tribe's chance at immunity for a shared hidden immunity idol before the first challenge of the season. If two people from the same tribe decided to take an idol together, then one member of that tribe would have been forced to sit out for two challenges. It's a choice between keeping the tribe safe, or risking that for your own gains.
  • Reverse & Revoke: Returning twist from Jan Mayen. On Day 1, the basic Survivor pre-merge format was reversed, so that the players voted first, and then did the challenge after. All castaways were required to send in votes for who they wished to be voted out, with the challenge then deciding which of the two electives for elimination stays, and which of the two goes home.
  • Three-Tribe Format: For the first time since Reclamation, the castaways were divided into three tribes instead of the usual two.
  • Returning Players: This season, eighteen returnees were all specifically selected to fit the three categories for this season. They have all only played once before, except Chris and Ryan, who have played twice before.
  • Tribe Switch: On Day 5, the Kaota, Mamoe and Takoto tribes underwent a tribe switch, mixing up the tribes. The Kaota tribe was dismantled in this switch, leaving only Mamoe and Takoto.
  • Hidden Immunity Idols: Due to the Risky Reward twist, the only idols in the game this season were the ones shared by the people who took the offer of trading tribe safety for their own.
