Survivor Cambodia - Second Chance Quiz

Answer: The fans selected contestents who had played previously but never won

Previous seasons have had returning players, sometimes mixed with newer players (Season Seasons 22, 25, 26, 27) and sometimes the whole cast were returning favourites (Season 8, 20). However, these returning players were:
1) selected by the fans, and,
2) had never won before.
Producers selected a larger group of previous players. A poll involving the fans was conducted. The larger group all assembled in the audience at the previous season's Reunion. The winners were selected on-air.

Answer: Three teams started and were quickly combined into two

At least four new features were introduced on this season of "Survivor": The vote-stealer; hidden idols "hidden" in plain sight at immunity challenges; the merger happened early with 13 left in the game; and for the first time the number of tribes increased during the game.
Fishbach won the vote-stealer which took a vote from somebody else and gave him another [he choose Joe's]. (However because he was obsessed with splitting the vote, the playing of this twist at the time, was not effective). Two idols, one each, were found by Jeremy and Wentworth on immunity challenges (they also found another each, after they had been given clues to the subsequent idols). This was the first time so many contestants were involved in a merger into a single tribe. Thirteen at the merge meant this had downstream consequences, such as ten jury members.
Whilst there have been three and even four starting teams, this was the first time the tribes increased after the start from two to three.

Answer: Terry

Terry was woken in the night during play to be advised his son was hospitalised. He left the game at that point. At the reunion, he revealed his son needed a heart transplant and, after he received one three months later, became healthy again. Terry's son was one of the lucky ones that did not die waiting for an organ whilst on the transplant list.

Answer: Joe

The physicality of this season's series was ever more pronounced when Joe, as part of the challenge, balanced an object on a long pole for over 90 minutes in an immunity challenge, and passed out whilst playing. Just two were left at the time giving Keith the win. What was not apparent at the time, was that Keith was close to passing out.

In the tape seen at the Reunion, Keith was seen dropping to his knees immediately after his win. The brutality of the conditions were also compounded by the weather.

There were days of heavy relentless rain, putting the fire out, so no food was cooked, sapping players of heat, energy and spirit. Fishbach, in particular was badly affected.

Answer: Two

There were twelve votes. The majority alliance voted for Kelley Wentworth who received nine consecutive votes. However these did not count as Wentworth surprised the larger bloc by playing an idol. The next two votes were for Savage who no doubt received votes from the bottom three of Wentworth, Ciera and Abi. The twelfth vote was not revealed at tribal council.

Answer: She turned on her super-strong alliance of four to vote one of them out

Kimmi was in a very strong alliance with Jeremy, Tash, and Spencer, though she thought she was at the bottom of the four. She then approached Wentworth and Keith to form a bloc to vote out Jeremy or Spencer depending on who won immunity next. Spencer and Tash got wind of the scheme and Kimmi paid the price, ultimately by being the next one voted off.

Answer: No valid votes were cast

There were three votes for Jeremy (Keith, Wentworth, Kimmi) versus three for Wentworth (Jeremy, Tash, Spencer). However before the votes were read, both played an idol (their second, each!). This nullified every vote. They voted again, Jeremy and Kelley now immune. Score were locked 3-3 (Kimmi/Tash) along alliance lines again.

There then had to be a discussion among the four who had not received a vote in the last round (ie Jeremy, Spencer, Kelley, Keith ) to determine if anyone would change their vote otherwise rocks would be drawn. (As the other five had immunity options - Keith would have drawn the only rock and therefore would have automatically gone home). Keith offered to go home as Kimmi was a single mother, but the other three in the major alliance, convinced him to change his vote as the others believed Kimmi should pay for betraying the alliance. Keith relented and Kimmi went home, ultimately for betraying her alliance.

This level of complexity of Tribal Council was unprecedented in the previous thirty "Survivor" seasons.

Answer: Both Kelly and Jeremy cried

Jeremy broke down with relief, as he had made the final three by winning the last immunity challenge. This is where Jeremy disclosed his wife was pregnant and he was playing this second time for his family.
Wentworth cried for the opposite reason. By losing the immunity challenge, she realised she would be going home as she was the only one outside of the remaining alliance. Her prediction proved correct.

Answer: He appealled aggressively to Jeremy to vote out Kelley

Spencer, without immunity was vulnerable. Jeremy, with immunity, had stated that all bets were off, which annoyed Spencer as, when he had immunity, he could have voted Jeremy off but stayed true to the alliance. Spencer stated specifically to Jeremy (assuming he would never vote for Tash), that if he did not vote for Wentworth, who had found two immunity idols and won individual immunities, he was handing effectively a million dollars over to Kelley. Whether or not Jeremy heeded what Spencer said, or whether he stayed true to his alliance is a moot point.

In the end he voted for Kelly Wentworth, which, with two other votes sent her home.

Answer: 10-0-0

While Tash, got to the final three on the back of her social game alone, Spencer demonstrated lessons learned from his previous experience on a previous season by having an improved social game to match his physical game, and we expected to poll well.

However the decision was unanimous and Jeremy won all the votes. This in itself was not unique as Earl (Season 14), J.T (Season 18) and Cochran (Season 26) all won unanimously. However, this was the first time there were ten on the jury and so the vote was 10-0-0.
