Twists

 * Academies - The starting tribes will also be known as Academies and include players with similar personality types. The Academies are Navigators (diplomatic idealists), Analysts (rational intellectuals), Innovators (inventive free spirits), and Architects (reliable engineers). The last remaining player from each Academy will receive an advantage in the game. Each Academy has a one-way rivalry with another Academy, but these rivalries and what they entail will be unknown for the time-being.
 * Scholars - On night one, each tribe will choose a Scholar to lead their Academy. The Scholar will compete in the Scholastic Competition (detailed below) to determine which tribes win immunity. The Scholars will also get an opportunity to compete for a power prior to the merge.
 * Scholastic Competition - There will be a second Scholastic Competition right before merge. Any remaining Scholars will compete for a power. If only one Scholar is left at the time of the Scholastic Competition, then that player will automatically get this power. If there are no Scholars left at that time, then the Scholastic Competition will not take place.
 * Academic Rivals - If an Academy's Rival is entirely eliminated before Final 10, then that Academy will receive immunity at Final 10. The one-way rivals are as follows:
 * rival
 * rival
 * rival
 * rival
