The tag is #survivingoneworld and the blog is survivoroneworld-boninislands.tumblr.com

On Week 8 Calvin stepped down as co-host after it was revealed that he tampered with the outcasts tribal votes.On Week 9 Danny Gluck stepped in to help co-host.

Twists/Changes

• Returning Players: Three Heroes, Villains, and Wildcards from past seasons of survivor were selected to return for One World. However, the players weren't really selected for being heroes, villains, and wildcards... this was just a misdirection to throw people off for of the Jalvin Swap.
• Shared Beach: All three tribes shared one beach and were able to talk to anyone on any of the tribes.
• Instant Tribal: An instant tribal was held before the first immunity challenge. Three castaways were voted out of their tribes, but they were given immunity for the first week of the game.
• Jalvin Swap: Each week before the immunity challenge the tribes were swapped. This went on until episode 6.
• Tribe Dissolve: On week six Mizu was dissolved.
• Hidden Immunity Idols: There were hidden immunity idols hidden in the game.
  • A Male and Female idol were hidden.
  • There were two merge idols hidden... one being played early in the merge and having to be re-hidden.
  • There was an idol hidden at the auction as well. It was hidden in the Octopus Stew.
• Outcast Tribe: In episode 7, Hadar, Elliot, Taryn, Nicholas, Rhea, Marko, and Maddie were brought back as an Outcast tribe, similar to the one in Survivor: Pearl Islands. If the Outcast tribe won that episode's Immunity challenge, then all three tribes would go to Tribal Council, and the Outcasts would get to vote two of their own back into the game. If the Outcasts lose, however, only the second place tribe would go to Tribal Council and the Outcast Tribe would only get to vote one person into the game.
  • Hadar was voted back into the game by the Outcast tribe.
• Merge: Chikyu and Kasai merged in episode 9.
• Auction: In episode 11 there was a survivor auction.
• The Bottle: In episode 11 a bottle with a message in it was revealed at tribal. Reyn opened the bottle and received immunity, but he also caused an instant tribal to happen.
