Synopsis
Authentic hidden immunity idols and other relics from past Survivor seasons adorn Ghost Island, the titular twist in the 36th season. The secluded location, where castaways are banished after losing a Reward Challenge, offers an opportunity to demonstrate they've learned lessons from castaways' mistakes of past seasons. Upon entering 'Ghost Island', castaways are reminded "One bad decision can haunt you forever," after which, they are given a chance to obtain a past playable game advantage from the series' history and "reverse the curse." In one of the tensest and most historic final Tribal Councils, two players deadlock with the same number of jury votes. In order to break the tie, another Survivor finalist joins the jury to cast the game-winning vote.
