Tumblr Survivor: Redemption Island is the fifth season of the online version of the reality TV show Survivor.
Production[]
“ | We are on the coast of Waiheke Island here in New Zealand. It is here that 18 contestants will fight to earn the title of Sole Survivor! They have been divided into 2 tribes. The two tribes are named after Maori iwi of New Zealand. The first is Ngapuhi, wearing green. Ngāpuhi is a Māori iwi located in the Northland region of New Zealand, and centred in the Hokianga, the Bay of Islands and Whāngārei. It also has the largest affiliation of any New Zealand iwi. The second is Tainui, wearing blue. The Waikato Tainui are a group of Māori from the Tainui waka (tribal confederation) who live in the Waikato Region, in the western central region of New Zealand’s North Island. | ” |
–Production Blurb |
The season featured eighteen players divided onto two tribes of nine. Each tribe was made up of two returning players and seven new players. The two tribes, Ngapuhi in green and Tainui in blue, were named after traditional New Zealand Maori Iwi.
The returning players were recruited specifically for the Redemption Island twist. The four returning players were divided onto the two tribes, each one boy and one girl. Lacey, of Tumblr Survivor: Tocantins, was asked to return for this season but declined the offer.
Following the end of the season's run, there was some controversy surrounding this season's contestant, Becca. It was discovered that Becca had lied in her application about having never played Tumblr Survivor before, and had actually previously competed on Tumblr Survivor: Cook Islands.
Twists[]
- Redemption Island: This twist provides an opportunity for an eliminated player to re-enter the game and continue their pursuit to the million-dollar prize and the title of Sole Survivor. In order to do so however, eliminated contestants will compete in head-to-head challenges (known as Duels) in order to remain on the island and avoid permanent elimination.
- Hidden Immunity Idols : There were two Reward Challenges held Pre-Merge in which the winners would recieve a hidden Immunity Idol.
- Returning Players: Four returning players who played in Seasons 1, 3 and 4 came back for their shot at redemption.
- Tribe Switch: In Episode 5 there was a tribe switch that mixed up the original tribes.
- Double Tribal Council: The twist sends both tribes to Tribal Council in one night.
