Based on all 32 lists, you were ranked from 1 to 32 in order of most wanted on your team to least wanted on your team.
This season, all 32 individuals will be paired with a SECRET PARTNER.
Because the lists were made before teams were assigned, there are pairs with both partners on the same team and pairs with both partners on the opposite team.
How will this affect the game??
In a big way
If both members of a pair make it to the Final Challenge then BOTH MEMBERS will earn a guaranteed spot on ANY Future RSF Season of their choice AND will earn immunity from the very 1st elimination.
But how does that affect this season you ask??
Simple.
It can affect whether or not you face the dreaded Gauntlet
If after the vote is revealed and 2 members of the same pair are MATCHED UP to face each other in the Gauntlet, then BOTH PLAYERS will EARN IMMUNITY from that Gauntlet.
They will then need to LIVE select any player on their team to REPLACE THEM in The Gauntlet.
If they are not present to make a decision LIVE then whoever they voted for will be chosen as their replacement.
That is not all.
If a pair can get matched up in the Gauntlet and thus earn immunity and choose their replacement, then from that point forward, their votes when deciding who will enter the Gauntlet will be worth TWICE AS MUCH until the end of the game.
NOTE: If both members of a pair are in The Gauntlet but NOT matched up, then they will NOT EARN IMMUNITY.
So how will this affect your game, will you try to get matched up early to take control throughout or try and get matched up later to secure a strong finish?
All pairs will be SECRET and will not be publicly revealed UNLESS they are matched up in The Gauntlet.
