Twists[]
Battle of the Sexes: The castaways are divided into tribes based on their gender.
Gypsy Trident: In lieu of Hidden Immunity Idols, a Gypsy Trident will be hidden at each tribe in plain sight. There are three prongs to this twist: The Challenge, The Reward, The Consequence:
- The Challenge - The finder of the Gypsy Trident may play it after any reward challenge, and compete in a challenge for a potential two-part advantage. They may also choose to transfer the Gypsy Trident to any player if they wish. Gypsy Tridents played before the final ten will be re-hidden. The last reward challenge a Gypsy Trident may be played at is the final five.
- The Reward - An advantage awarded to the winner of the challenge.
- The Consequence - If the person who plays the Gypsy Trident loses the challenge, they lose their vote at their next Tribal Council.
Reverse Schoolyard Pick Tribe Switch: At some point in the game, a tribe switch will occur. Tribe captains will select castaways to join the opposing tribe until none remain.
Double Elimination: On day 31, the castaways were subjected to a Double Elimination, where the tribe was divided into two groups of five and two castaways were eliminated through two separate Tribal Councils.

Notes:
^1 In Kitchen Arsonist, Claudette Jyles played the Express Pass, granting her immunity from the vote, but also removing her ability to vote at the same Tribal. Sasha Agdal had also lost her vote after playing the Gypsy Trident and losing the challenge.
^2 In The Robin Among These Cuckoos, Lyle Benitez lost his vote after playing the Gypsy Trident and losing the challenge.
^3 In What I've Lost, Giano de la Vega played a Vote Steal, rendering Sasha Agdal ineligible to vote and allowing him to vote twice.
^4 In The Reality Sledgehammer, at the Immunity Challenge, the ten remaining players were divided into two groups of five, with one person from each team winning immunity. The last player standing overall won reward for their team.
^5 In Simply the Best, after Claudette Jyles won the reward challenge, she initially picked Dwight Givens to go on the reward with her; however, Dwight asked Claudette to choose Garth Steele instead, and Claudette obliged.

At Camp[]
The "Gypsy Tridents" that are hidden (in plain site) at each camp are shiny black medallions designed like a Ukrainian Trident: 
The Tribal Immunity Idol will be in the form of a bronze statue of a Ukrainian Kozak, similar to the one pictured here: 
The Individual Immunity necklace this season is pictured here:
Instead of a machete, each tribe will be supplied with a Bartka. Also known as a Valashka, Hutsul Hatchet, or Mountaineer's Hatchet, it is a hand-forged axe, which can also serve as a stick or a hammer. It was developed by the Hutsul people specifically for living in mountainous areas:
Intro[]
Author's Notes[]
Special thanks to RTV9500 for helping with the planning of this season!
The season is set to have filmed from July 23, 2019 - August 30, 2019.
- The castaways’ ages in the castaway table are listed as of July 23, 2019 - the first day of filming.
Though this season was not officially opened up to wiki submissions, there are three castaways this season that were created by other users:
- Jordan Mackleson was originally a contestant on Tozza's second Big Brother season on the Big Brother Fanon Wiki - Big Brother 2 (Tozza 6)
- Tozza gave me permission to use him this season shortly after the Big Brother's season finale.
- Sasha Agdal was submitted by Coolio15 to Survivor: Guyana. Though I really liked her, I was unable to fit her into the Guyana cast, and she had to be cut. Coolio gave me permission to use her in this season.
- Although Ebony Illchuk was originally set to be cast on Survivor: Tasmania - Vengeance before the cast shortened from 22 castaways to 20, Crazybone5000 wrote a profile for her for another fanon that was since cancelled.
- I decided I liked Crazy's profile for her more than what I originally had in mind, so with Crazy's permission, that's the profile being used this season.
The bios this season were released in groups of 4 (2 men and 2 women) after each of the last five episodes of Survivor: Guyana were completed, as voted by readers on Survey Monkey. During the finale, 1 bio was released after the final 5 and final 4 Tribal Councils respectively, with the final two bios being released at the conclusion of the season.
- On November 24, 2021, Ebony Illchuk's, Jordan Mackleson's, Oleksandr Dorokhov's, and Ursula Valdez's bios were released.
- On January 27, 2022, Claudette Jyles', Giano de la Vega's, Ross Paquette's, and Sunshine Pagtakhan's bios were released.
- On March 10, 2022, Carla Ormiston's, Dwight Givens', Shay Farquhar's, and Zayna Miousse's bios were released.
- On April 22, 2022, Garth Steele's, Kamal Nadig's, Nelson Eberle's, and Winifred O'Sullivan's bios were released.
- On May 27, 2022, Lyle Benitez's bio was released.
- On June 17, 2022, Nadine Loyst's bio was released.
- On June 30, 2022, Sasha Agdal's & Taylor Edmonds' bios were released.
Carla Ormiston was originally cast for Survivor: Guyana, but was cut at the last minute in favour of Jessica Brennar.
Special thanks to Rtv9500 for helping me develop the backstory of Dwight Givens, and to NemoLikesDonuts for fixing the hair on Dwight's manga.
Also a big thank you to EeveeFan25 for making new mangas for Carla Ormiston and Ross Paquette!
Special thanks to Tanglefrost for helping me flesh out my ideas for the Gypsy Trident twist!
The Gypsy Trident twist was named after the Romani people of Ukraine, a nomadic group across Eastern Europe known for adapting to the dominant society in which they reside (though from my searches, they are often referred to as "Tsyhany," which is a town in Ukraine and more of a generic term.) Though not a set region, they have developed their own traditional dances, known as "Gypsy Dances" specifically in the Carpathian Mountains, where the season is located.
As the group will not be represented as a tribe this season, yet still heavily influence it through this twist, I am placing an example of their traditional dance here:
The Tribal Council music for this season is inspired by the Arkan - a traditional dance by the Hutsul people, which is usually done in a circle around a bonfire. There would be four versions of the Arkan music played at every Tribal Council this season:
- NOTE: Due to copyright laws, CBS (or any other network) wouldn't realistically air this exact songs, but would rather compose their own version(s) with the Arkan melody that is based off of them.
This version would be the music as they enter Tribal Council, which would also fade into the background music during the conversation with Jeff Probst:
This version would kick in as Jeff opens the urn and begins to read the votes:
Winifred O'Sullivan was originally named "Wilma O'Sullivan"
Lyle Benitez was originally named "Mitchell Molinez" (and went by "Mitch").
The episode 9 title, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was inspired by the AC/DC song of the same name:
- Link to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIE4UjBtx-o
The episode 13 title, Simply the Best was inspired by the Tina Turner song: The Best
- Link to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIcG2ONgxKU
