Survivor: Marquesas

Survivor: Marquesas is the fourth season of Sims: Survivor. It is the successor of Survivor: Africa. The winner, Jason West, managed to defeat Lucy Williams in a 2-1 vote.

Production

 * The season was set to start a month earlier than its initial release. It was cut back due to a long series of rainstorms.
 * The location of Survivor has returned to being a beach. This is the first time since Survivor: Borneo the location has been an island.

Format

 * Tribe Composition: The twelve castaways were divided into two tribes of six.


 * Meager Supplies:  The castaways were not given any food rations. The tribes' supply crates were drastically reduced to only a magnifying glass, three pans, a fillet knife, and two water containers.


 * Purple Rock Tiebreaker: In case of a deadlocked tie and there is no consensus as to how the vote will go, everyone, including people who did not receive votes, will pick a rock from a bag. Inside the bag, there is one purple rock, and the contestant who gets it will be automatically eliminated from the game.


 * Tribe Switch: A luck of a draw sent two members from both tribes to join the rival tribe.


 * Merged Tribe Composition: The merged tribe was composed of six members.


 * Final Tribal Council Format: Two finalists faced a jury of three. The jurors individually addressed the finalists.
