Survivor: Blood vs. Water was the ninety-third season of Survivor.
The season ended when Chandler won the title of Sole Survivor, beating Lynn and Kathy in a 6-2-1 jury vote at the Final Tribal Council. The season featured 20 contestants dubbed as "castaways" marooned on two separate beaches in Bali, Indonesia. They were divided into two tribes: Darah in red and Perairan in blue. The tribe names mean "Blood" and "Water" in Indonesian, respectively. On Day 19, the tribes merged into the yellow Ungu Ungu tribe, which is "purple purple" in Indonesian, symbolic of a blend of red blood and blue water.
The main twist this season was the Blood vs. Water twist. Ten returning contestants played with a loved one, either a family member or a friend/acquaintance. The pairs thought they would be playing together, but they were split in half, with the returning players comprising one tribe and the newbies on another. The returning players were on the Darah tribe and the newbies were on the Perairan tribe. In addition to the BvW twist, a new idol was put into play. If two members of the same pair found two immunity idols, they could be combined to form a Blood Idol or Water Idol, either of which could save a member from being eliminated after the votes had been cast and read.
The reception to this season was mixed with reviews leaning more on the positive side. Some critics liked the Blood vs. Water twist and the idol halves, but felt the pairings led to a rather dull post-merge period due to pre-established alliances that never waivered. Most felt the cast was amazing and the winner was well-deserved, but the twist took away some of the show's critical moments.
