Redemption Island (twist)


 * For the season of Castaway based on Redemption Island, see Castaway: Redemption Island

Redemption Island is an elimination twist in Castaway.

Similar to a fire-making challenge, the player voted out of Tribal Council will challenge one player from their former tribe to compete for their spot back in the game, with the losing player exiting the game permanently.

Overview
Debuting in Castaway: Redemption Island (and similar to Trial by Fire) its purpose was to permit the eliminated player an opportunity to immediately return to the game.

When a player is voted out through a majority/plurality vote, that individual can select any member of their former tribe to compete in Redemption Island. Any immunity or advantages played during the Tribal Council become void and no player can exercise an advantage during this period. The Redemption Island duel takes place immediately following Tribal Council in observation of the visiting tribe with the winner returning to the game whilst the loser exits permanently. In an additional twist to the season, if a player is voted out through a re-vote or random lottery ("drawing rocks") the eliminated player loses their redemption and is eliminated.
