Survivor S4: Tonga - Fans vs. Favourites
Ah, Tonga. The season that should've been great... but wasn't... like, at all...
So this season was intended to be Fans vs. Favourites, but it was more of newbies vs. the All-Starz rejects.
This season was hosted at the same time as AS6, although it ended much faster due to many inactives getting removed.
This season also featured two main twists. The first of which was the No Merge twist, where tribes were permanent the entire season, and there would only be a "merge" if a tribe ran out of players. However, to make things a bit fair, players were allowed to mutiny at the start of every week, although only Tastyshadow and TurtIy did so. The second twist was that every player started with an Immunity Idol, though only two were used, both during the F7 tribal where neither player needed to use it. Eight days into the season, though, due to several players being removed, or quitting, we were already down to SEVEN players remaining! That's thirteen people out only three sessions in! Ultimately, the Fans tribe, Vava'u, took over, as the final member of Ha'apai, Coolpokemonfan2001, was removed by default for not showing to Immunity. Despite the quick season and low amount of people trying, it held a few star players, and was led by a head alliance led by BigXXVI and TurtIy. In the end, not only did the most deserving player win, but Big won with the first - and only - Perfect Game in the history of my Survivors. Well played. Season Ranking: 7/13.

Winner: BigXXVI, 3-0BigXXVI came into the game as a newbie, but played like the great veteran he truly is. He immediately formed an alliance with TurtIy, and later added Coolpokemonfan2001 and DrElements, giving them tight control over the inactive cast. After surviving to the Final Seven, he managed to get out challenge beast ClassicCrusher7, and knock out IIMoonIightII and WhirIwind after his ally Cool was eliminated by default, forcing the merge. After he made it to the Final Three with his two allies, he dominated the Final Immunity, and took out TurtIy for being the biggest jury threat aside from himself, and took DrElements to the end, giving him an easy win 3-0. He never received any votes the entire game, and got every Jury Vote, giving him the first, and so far only, Perfect Game in the history of my Survivors. If the season wasn't so inactive, I'd go ahead and call him the best winner, but he did get a free ride honestly.

Runner-Up: DrElements, 0-3DrElements also came into the game as a newbie, but he didn't really do much to establish himself as a strong player. He rode BigXXVI and TurtIy's coattails to get him to the end, and was very safe for pretty much the entire game due to his allies protecting him, and nobody seeing him as a real threat. Once he coasted to the Final Three, he just had to sit back and relax while the other two fought to get to the end, as he was guaranteed to be dragged to the end. Due to Big's likability and great jury management, he stood no chance against the kingpin and lost unanimously. Overall did the bare minimum to survive in the game, and just couldn't hold his own against other strong players.
