Ahead of the start of the season 22, Probst said he was "the most excited" he'd been about the show in a long time. It's a big risk. It could fail miserably. I don't think it's going to. Well, it didn't exactly fail, but it didn't really work either, serving as almost a test run for Edge of Extinction. In Redemption Island, voted off contestants would compete weekly in a duel to remain in the game.
Just when fan-favorite Ben Driebergen looked like he was finally going to be voted out of the game after losing the final individual immunity challenge, a new wrinkle was added in at the last moment that ultimately helped lead him to victory: He had to make fire before rival Devon Pinto.
While some believed the fire-making challenge was thrown in at the end of Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers purely for Ben's benefit, Probst shot down that theory and it's remained in the game ever since.
If you get to final four, you are guaranteed a shot to earn your way to the end. And if you are the one to win the final four challenge, you are in charge of who you take and who you force to fight for it in a fire-making showdown. And of course, it goes without saying, we got lucky with a huge million dollar showdown between Ben and Devon. It was electric. Only featured in Survivor: Nicaragua season 21 , this object allowed the tribe holding it to receive an advantage in a challenge should they decide to use it.

The winner of the duel will stay on Redemption Island and continue their quest to become the Sole Survivor , while the loser will be permanently eliminated from the game this is denoted by the loser tossing their buff in a fire wok. The earlier one is voted out, the more difficult it would be to return; theoretically, for the first person voted off make it to the re-entry point, they must win every proceeding duel, meaning the castaway must defeat all subsequent castaways sent to Redemption Island up to that point.
In certain cases, there are more than two people residing on Redemption Island, with them participating in multi-person "duels. A three-person duel is unofficially known as a "truel", as mentioned by Mike Chiesl , Matt Elrod , and David Murphy in a secret scene before the first three-person duel took place.

For instance, voting out a physically strong player could be potentially risky, as that player might win subsequent duels and just come back at a later time.
Also, if the castaways chosen as observers divulge any goings-on at their camp, this could be fatal, as it would be substantial to the strategies of the potential returnee, and to the rival tribe. As for the island's current inhabitant, they can have a longer time to rethink strategy and how they will re-assimilate with their former tribemates. The "resurrected" player may forgive the same people who double-crossed them, or might show bitterness by making bolder and more rebellious moves to avenge their untimely departure, such as creating a counter-alliance with the rival tribe, though all rethinking may all be wasted if they lose a duel.
Furthermore, re-assimilating back into the game will be difficult because the inhabitant is oblivious to the happenings at the tribe camps. Additionally, a "resurrected" player is not guaranteed immunity, making him or her susceptible to getting voted out once again, meaning that winning Immunity Challenges could be crucial. Once the Redemption Island cycle restarts post-merge, inhabitants will have the perfect time buying jury votes, gaining their sympathy as they share similar sentiments, stipulated they are all disposed from the tribe.
During the events of Survivor: South Pacific , Survivor veteran Ozzy Lusth hatched a plan in order to defeat the current champion of Redemption Island, Christine Shields Markoski ; their tribe would intentionally throw an Immunity Challenge so that their strongest member would then be eliminated with the intention of defeating Markoski.
This plan came to fruition, and although the Savaii Alliance believed it to be a "game-changer," Coach Wade panned the strategy - believing it to be insulting that the Upolu tribe would find it believable.
