Ghost Island (twist)

Ghost Island is a twist used in Survivor. Ghost Island is similar to Exile Island (twist). Ghost Island is a small campsite apart from the actual tribe camps where one contestant will be banished for a predetermined period of time, skipping their tribe's tribal council, as well as having a chance of receiving an advantage in the game.

Premise
Ghost Island is a game changing twist that premiered in Survivor: Ghost Island. Following the immunity challenge, the winning tribe has the decision of which contestant from the losing tribe should go to Ghost Island. If a decision cannot be reached, the losing tribe will draw rocks, with the odd rock going to Ghost Island. Once at Ghost Island, the inhabitant smashes the urn that is provided. Two results stem from the urn. The contestant can receive a note, stating "Nope. Not Today. No Game for you." If a contestant receives this note, they will stay on Ghost Island, but will not have a chance for an advantage. However, if the contestant receives a note with directions, they can follow them for the chance at finding an advantage in the game.

Strategy
There are many strategies to use in a season with Ghost Island, such as:
 * Sending a contestant that the winning tribe believes was in danger of being voted out.
 * To further isolate a tribe member from its tribe so that he/she can be an easy target.
 * Following a tribe switch, a contestant on the winning tribe can attempt to send a member of the losing tribe that was a member of their original tribe prior to the switch.
 * Sending the most likable person, likely causing demoralization of the opposing tribe.
 * Sending an ally for the chance of receiving an advantage.

Survivor: Ghost Island
Ghost Island was the main twist in season 36. After losing the first immunity challenge, Malolo had Jacob Derwin pegged as the main target for elimination. However, Naviti saw this clear vote count, and decided to send Jacob to Ghost Island.

Upon arriving at Ghost Island, Jacob smashed the first urn in line. Following the instructions he was given, he found two treasure chests, with a third, locked chest in the middle. Picking the chest to the left, Jacob obtained the key to the locked chest. Inside was the Legacy Advantage misplayed by Sierra Dawn Thomas in Survivor: Game Changers. Jacob was forced to will the advantage to a member of the opposing tribe, Naviti. He choseto give the advantage to Morgan Ricke.

Donothan Hurly and Chris Noble were sent to Ghost Island following Jacob. However, neither of them received advantages in the game.
