Survivor: Carthage

Survivor: Carthage is the twenty-eighth season of the 703 ORG (Online Reality Game) Network!

Twists

 * Reduced Cast: Unlike the 20-25 person cast of the last three seasons, this season only has 16 castaways.
 * Hidden Immunity Idol: Both tribes have a hidden immunity idol located at their camps.
 * Message in a Bottle: At the second immunity challenge, one player on the winning tribe would receive a message in a bottle. This would launch the Observer twist.
 * Observer: Starting with the second immunity challenge, the winning tribe would select a representative to oversee the losing tribe's tribal council.
 * Mystery Hero Challenge: The third reward challenge would require the tribes to select one player to compete in a challenge that would remain unknown to the competitors until the representatives were determined.
 * No Swap: For the first time since Heroes vs. Villains, the tribes never swapped at any point in time.
 * Reward Thresholds: In the merge immunity challenge, while only the top scoring player would earn immunity, players who score above a certain threshold could earn up to two clues to the location of a hidden immunity idol.
 * Mutiny: All five players who served as observer were granted the option to mutiny to the other tribe. None of them accepted the offer.

Trivia
