Survivor: Utara, also commonly known as Survivor 1, was the first season of Survivor, hosted by AyyLion. The season premiered on November 3, 2018, with the first session taking place on November 10, 2018. 12 contestants competed in nine episodes in a blended game show format as the game was played in sessions but in a continuous day-to-day Discord.
At the Final Tribal Council, MinecraftYoshi26 was awarded the title of Sole Survivor in a 3–2–0 vote over VickiTori_ and Conric005.
Production
The season was announced with applications opening on August 22, 2018, after the finale of Big Brother 3. The premiere of the season was announced to be October 6, 2018; however, the date was postponed after several players dropped out and an emergency with the host. Applications re-opened on October 12, 2018, and the final premiere date was chosen to be November 3, 2018.
The first session was held on November 10, 2018, where only one episode was held. This was considered to be a failure due to several reasons, one primary one being that there was a glitch that prevented all crafting.
The second session was held on December 1, 2018. This session went much smoother than the first, helped in part by the fact that crafting had been re-enabled. Episodes 2-4 were played during this session.
The third session, with episodes 5 to 7, was played on December 8, 2018. The next day, the final episode was played. The Final Tribal Council was held over Discord over the next few days, leading up to the reveal of the winner at the reunion on December 15, 2018.

Season summary
Castaways were divided into two tribes-Angaur and Peleliu. While both tribes attended equal Tribal Councils in the pre-merge phase of the game, Peleliu tribe was regarded as being a stronger tribe due to their reliable food source, while Angaur routinely starved.
Between the second and third sessions, it became known that jphgolf4321 was unavailable for any future session of the season, resulting in his medical evacuation from the game.
Starting the merge with jphgolf4321's removal, the Angaur tribe ended up one member down. However, due to Vickiposa flipping at the subsequent Tribal Councils, several members of Peleliu were eliminated over the course of the merge. At the Final Tribal Council, most jury members did not consider Conric005 due to a perceived weak game and speech, while remaining divided between Vickiposa's subtler game and warmer speech, and MinecraftYoshi26's stronger game and colder speech. MinecraftYoshi26 was eventually named the winner at the reunion, where the mini-season of Survivor: Christmas Island - Naughty vs. Nice was to take place. The mini-season was officially announced at the conclusion of the eighth episode.

"All The Storms Coming" | ||
The tribes met up for the first time on the island and split up onto their beaches. Quickly, they realized that crafting had been disabled, preventing much construction at camp.
At Tribal Council, an alliance formed between Cookie46910, megascatterbomb, and mine_man_. While they originally were torn between voting out sesese9 and SkyjumperTalon, they consulted with Vickiposa, who led them to vote out SkyjumperTalon. Meanwhile, SkyjumperTalon voted for Vickiposa as he believed she would be voted out early anyway as a newer member, and sesese9 voted out Cookie46910 for a perceived lack of contribution around camp. | ||
"I Can See This Ending Well" | ||
As crafting had been fixed between sessions, each tribe was given a care package with tools, food, and a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. MinecraftYoshi26 got the clue from Angaur, which referenced a high point. He lied about it, claiming it referenced a large tree and speculated it might be hidden in a challenge and proceeded to throw the book into a fire. On Peleliu, Cookie46910 got the idol clue and told mine_man_, and both began to search for the idol in a pond with a floating tree.
Peleliu tribe received their cows and began to work on a shelter for them. Meanwhile, Angaur decided on what criteria someone should be voted out on. After concluding that too many people had participated poorly in the challenge to identify the weakest link, the tribe broke down into smaller conversations to determine who to vote out. Ultimately, hvt2011, jphgolf4321, MinecraftYoshi26, and PineappleMaster2 all agreed to place their votes on Red_Ray for being too quiet around camp, sending him out of the game. | ||
"Can I Have The Back Of Your Jacket?" | ||
The Peleliu tribe idol was found by mine_man_. The Angaur idol was also found, accidentally, by members of the Peleliu tribe. As they had to give it to a member of Angaur before the next Tribal Council was held, they chose Vickiposa to deliver the idol to Conric005 in the middle of the island under the instructions not to tell anyone about it. Shortly after receiving the idol, Conric005 told MinecraftYoshi26.
At Angaur camp, jphgolf4321 began to search for highest points on the island to find the idol, additionally looking for the tallest trees based on the misinformation from MinecraftYoshi26 at the beginning of the previous episode. At Tribal Council, the tribe unanimously voted off PineappleMaster2 for a perceived lack of contribution. | ||
"When We Resort To Cannibalism" | ||
At the reward, both tribes rushed to claim food. Before many Angaur members had the chance to eat, sesese9 and Vickiposa from Peleliu destroyed all the cakes set out, prompting the Angaur tribe to call out Vickiposa as they noticed her breaking some.
At Tribal Council, the alliance of Cookie46910, megascatterbomb, and mine_man_ stuck together to vote out sesese9 as they believed the diving portion of the challenge held them back. Vickiposa was torn between Cookie46910 and sesese9 for contributing less around camp and ultimately cast a vote for Cookie46910, while sesese9 voted for mine_man_ as a perceived threat. | ||
"These Cows Are Defective" | ||
The tribes merged into one tribe, Kayangel, for the remainder of the game. Angaur beach was selected as the site of the merge camp due to the fact that it was larger; had the tribes not tied in the previous reward challenge, the winning tribe's beach would have been selected. Before any challenges occurred, jphgolf4321 was medically evacuated from the game due to his inability to attend any of the final sessions. He became the first jury member.
During the deliberation period, hilarity ensued as the cows were brought from the former Peleliu camp to the new Kayangel camp with very little success. This resulted in cows populating the middle section of the island for the rest of the game. At Tribal, the former Angaur tribe targeted Cookie46910 as they suspected mine_man_ would be more likely to have an idol than him. MinecraftYoshi26 played Conric005's idol on himself out of paranoia, negating zero votes. The former Peleliu tribe targeted Conric005 for his failure to successfully deliver the cows to the new camp. Vickiposa flipped and voted with the former Angaur tribe, resulting in Cookie46910 becoming the second member of the jury. | ||
TBA | ||
mine_man_ retrieved the hidden immunity idol from an island near Tribal Council. At Tribal, the alliance of megascatterbomb and mine_man_ stuck together to try to vote out Vickiposa for flipping, but Conric005, MinecraftYoshi26, and Vickiposa came together to vote out megascatterbomb due to his immunity win and a fear of mine_man_ playing an idol. hvt2011 voted for mine_man_ as a perceived threat. megascatterbomb became the third member of the jury. | ||
TBA | ||
At the reward, mine_man_ told MinecraftYoshi26 about his two hidden immunity idols, causing MinecraftYoshi26 to rethink a plan of voting mine_man_ out at that night's tribal council. The two planned to vote for hvt2011 at the upcoming Tribal Council.
MinecraftYoshi26 informed Conric005 of mine_man_'s idols and the two planned to instead vote for hvt2011. This was the final night idols were eligible to be played. At Tribal, mine_man_ played idols on himself and Conric005; however, neither were needed, as hvt2011 received three votes and became the fourth jury member. hvt2011 and Vickiposa voted for mine_man_, unaware of his idols. | ||
"Sit Back Down" | ||
At Tribal, everyone went in expecting mine_man_ to be easily voted out; however, his persuasion convinced Vickiposa to vote for Conric005 with him, causing a tie. During the tiebreaker, mine_man_ continued to plead for safety with MinecraftYoshi26 arguing for his elimination. While the discussion ended in a seemingly deadlocked tie, Vickiposa ultimately voted for mine_man_ in the revote, making him the fifth and final member of the jury. | ||
"Reunion" | ||
The final three all gave speeches and answered jury questions at the Final Tribal Council. Conric005 was not taken seriously by the jury, while they were split over MinecraftYoshi26 and Vickiposa: some respected MinecraftYoshi26's strategic game and criticized Vickiposa's speech for seemingly asking for the jury's votes because she had been nice throughout the season, while others liked Vickiposa's answers and felt MinecraftYoshi26's speech rubbed them the wrong way in tone. Ultimately, Cookie46910 and hvt2011 voted for Vickiposa, while jphgolf4321, megascatterbomb, and mine_man_ voted for MinecraftYoshi26, making MinecraftYoshi26 the winner of the first season of Survivor. The reunion took place at the Tribal Council site of the upcoming mini-season Survivor: Christmas Island - Naughty vs. Nice, which was officially revealed at the conclusion of the previous episode. |
