Tumblr Survivor: Kuang Si - Eden's Oasis is the fifty-ninth season of the online version of the reality TV show Survivor.

Production[]

This season was initially set to premiere earlier in summer 2017 as Tumblr Survivor: Ascension Island, hosted by Jenn, Kait, and Mitchell. However, the starting date was pushed back throughout the summer, and, eventually, Jenn and Kait stepped down from the season. Mitchell then recruited fellow Tumblr Survivor: Solomon Islands castaways Dana and Johnny, with whom an interest at hosting a season had been expressed already, as replacements.

The Ascension Island concept, which involved returning players, was scrapped at this stage. Instead, a new theme and concept were developed, including the introduction of the first all-newbie cast in twenty-three seasons.

The blog for the season is Kuang Si and the tag for the season is havecookies.

Applications for the season went out on July 26th, 2017 and closed August 10th, 2017.

Twists/Changes[]

  • All-Newbie Cast: In a break from tradition, for the first time in twenty-three seasons and over a year, there were no returning players in the cast.
  • Temptations: In the theme of the season, contestants will be offered temptations throughout the game in camp life, challenges, and Eden's Oasis.
    • Eden's Oasis: The top performer from each tribe in reward challenges was offered the opportunity to visit Eden's Oasis, where they would be faced with a temptation that came with a secret consequence. These included:
      • A clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, but one must throw the next immunity challenge.
      • Cast a vote at the next Tribal Council of a tribe of one's choice, but one cannot vote at the next Tribal Council of their own tribe.
      • A Double Vote, one you cannot vote at the Tribal Council after using it.
      • An advantage in the next immunity challenge, but one would receive a disadvantage at the first Individual Immunity challenge.
      • Visit another tribe camp, but every member of that tribe would join the tribe one left behind.
    • Uneven Tribe Swap: Immediately following Stix's elimination on Day 9, every contestant left in the game was offered an immediate temptation without knowing what it would be. The temptation was the ability to choose what swapped tribe they would be on; however, as the tribe breakdown pre-swap was 6-5-4, the breakdown would remain the same, and the first person to choose their tribe would end up on the weakest one, and so forth.
    • Legacy Advantage: At the merge, contestants were offered the choice to either participate in the merge feast, receiving an advantage at the first Individual Immunity challenge, or be the one person to sit out so everyone else could feast. The person who sit out received a Legacy Advantage, which functioned as a Hidden Immunity Idol and was only usable at the Final Six Tribal Council.
  • Instant Tribal: Contestants were told that they would be participating in a live reward challenge after the final nine Tribal Council. While true, the last item up for bid in the Survivor Auction reward challenge was Individual Immunity, leading to a second, instant Tribal Council within the same hour as the previous one.
