Author Brant    Category All, Simulator Updates     Tags

The Survivor 42 simulator is now released. This season aired on CBS from March to May 2022 and is the second of the New Era seasons.

Survivor 42 shares the same format as Survivor 41 including the Beware Advantages, Shot in the Dark, and many of the same twists such as the Hourglass and Do or Die. There are some additional stipulations that differ between 41 and 42, and 42 introduces the Amulet Advantage.

Thanks to Jacob for helping with planning and testing the simulator.

Survivor 41 Released

Author Brant    Category All, Simulator Updates     Tags

The Survivor 41 simulator is now released. This season aired on CBS from September to December 2021 and is the first of the New Era seasons.

Some common elements that Survivor 41 shares with the other New Era seasons are journeys where representatives from each tribe make decisions and compete in challenges or games of chance for secret advantages. Pre-merge Hidden Immunity Idols are hidden in the form of Beware Advantages that hold a stipulation to unlock. Each castaway is given a Shot in The Dark to start the season that has a 1/6 chance of granting immunity at the cost of the holder’s vote. Survivor 41 also features the Hourglass and Do or Die twists along with the debut of the Knowledge is Power.

Thanks to Jacob for helping with planning and testing the simulator.

Survivor Winners at War Released

Author Brant    Category All, Simulator Updates     Tags

The 40th season of Survivor, Winners at War, is here after five years. This season aired on CBS from February to May 2020 and featured 20 former winners competing for a prize of $2 million dollars.

Winners at War contains Edge of Extinction, but also introduces the concept of Fire Tokens which can be used to purchase both strategic and luxurious items on Advantage Menus. There are other opportunities to earn and spend these on Edge of Extinction and throughout the events of the season. You can shape the simulation to play out in very different ways depending on the profile attributes you set.

Other features exclusive to Winners at War include both a Fire Token Chart (inspired by u/MAW_16 on Reddit) and a Fire Token Summary of all the transactions that occur throughout the simulation. A universal feature for all of the Survivor simulators is the “accent color” to give your tribes even more visual customization.

Thanks to Jacob for sticking around after 10+ years and being an integral part of planning and testing Winners at War and future simulators.

That’s not all. Simulators for Survivor’s New Era seasons 41-48 are finished and will be released weekly beginning on the weekend of October 4th-5th. You can see previews of these on Bluesky.

Author Brant    Category All, Simulator Updates     Tags

Survivor Bugs Fixed:
– The tribe swaps in Caramoan and One World no longer sort alphabetically after uneven starting genders.

Survivor Blood vs. Water and San Juan del Sur Upgraded

Author Brant    Category All, Simulator Updates     Tags

The final two Survivor seasons have been upgraded on BrantSteele.com. Thanks to bwburke94 for helping to plan the seasons and to Azure, Brandon, Hydro, and Jacob for testing the seasons prior to their release.

These seasons feature the blood vs. water twist where pairs of loved ones compete with only player claiming the title of sole survivor. There are 10 pairs in Blood vs. Water for a total of 20 players and 9 pairs in San Juan del Sur for a total of 18 players. Both seasons feature a final three with eight jurors.

Blood vs. Water features the return of Redemption Island and an option for a loved one to switch with their partner on Redemption Island each episode. Duels will take place at Redemption Island where the winners receive a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol that can be given to anyone in the game or kept for themselves in the returning rounds. Two idols are hidden at the original tribe camps. A merge idol is hidden if less than two idols are in the game, and rehidden if there are no idols are in the game. The idols are in play until final five.

San Juan del Sur features the return of Exile Island and reward challenges consisting of duels between loved ones. The loser is sent to Exile Island along with a tribe mate of the winner’s choice. One of the players at Exile Island gets a clue to the idol while the other gets nothing. Pre-merge, each original tribe has an idol. Post-merge, the only idol is hidden at Exile Island. This is in play until final five.

Survivor 29: San Juan del Sur

Thank you to everyone who has been testing and reporting bugs. I’m also gathering feedback in this Google Doc. The next two planned releases for Survivor will be season 40, Winners at War, and Australian Survivor All-Stars (2020).

Survivor One World Updated

Author Brant    Category All, Simulator Updates     Tags

The next Survivor season has been upgraded on BrantSteele.com.

Thanks to bwburke94 and Jacob for helping to plan the season and to Azure, Brandon, and Hazmann for testing the season prior to its release.

The twist of this season is that the two starting tribes will live together on one beach for the first four episodes. Therefore, there are just single event pages rather than two, and both idols can be found by anyone either tribe. However, the idols do have to be passed to a player on the appropriate tribe.

The season reverts to normal following a balanced tribe swap (using the same logic from Caramoan) in episode 5. At this point, tribal idols are hidden and rehidden normally as well. The merge occurs during episode 7, and its idol is both hidden and rehidden only if no other idols remain in the game. Final Tribal Council occurs with three finalists and 9 jurors.

Survivor Caramoan Updated

Author Brant    Category All, Simulator Updates     Tags

The next Survivor season has been upgraded on BrantSteele.com.

Thanks to bwburke94 and Jacob for helping to plan the season and to Azure, Brandon, and Hazmann testing the season prior to its release.

This season features two starting tribes of ten, a tribe swap at Episode 7, and a merge at Episode 9. Final Tribal Council occurs with 3 finalists and 8 jurors. If the season starts with ten females and ten males, the tribe swap balances both tribes and genders. Otherwise, just the tribes will be balanced.

Each tribe features a Hidden Immunity Idol at their original tribe camp. The standard merge idol is hidden if less than or equal than one idols remain in the game. An additional merge idol is also hidden after the final 8 immunity challenge if less than or equal than one idols are in the game, including those hidden.
