Survivor: Caucasus

Survivor has gone from the African safari, to the Australian wilderness, and even the tropical islands of the Pacific, but now, Survivor will go somewhere it has never gone before. Twenty people will not only have to survive each other, but also the elements of the Caucasus Mountains. With its extreme weather, dangerous animals, and formidable terrain, the vote won't be the only thing the contestants will have to survive.

Twists

 * Expanded Cast: This season will feature twenty contestants
 * Hidden Immunity Idols: One idol will be hidden in each tribe's camp.
 * Fake Hidden Immunity Idols: Many fake immunity idols will also be hidden around both tribe's camps. This is to ensure that the only way of positively confirming the possession of a real idol is to correctly figuring out clues given out during Reward Challenges.
 * Surprise Immunity Challenge and Tribal Council: Without warning, tribes or individual contestants will be called to an Immunity Challenge with a Tribal Council immediately after.
 * More to be added as game progresses
