Departure Day: April 7th

Host: TJ Lavin

Theme: Mix of contestants from CBS reality shows + MTV Challenge

Format:

Three teams.

The team that wins the day's mission nominates a man and a woman for elimination. Then the rest of the cast votes anonymously--each person votes for a man or a woman.

The number of votes each person gets is placed in something like a lottery/raffle draw.

So if 8 people said someone's name, 8 raffle tickets with that person’s name go into the lottery. But even if someone only receives 1 vote, they can face elimination if they are unlucky enough to have their name picked by TJ.

If TJ draws a woman's name, she goes in against the woman chosen by the winning team. That’s how it becomes possible to get back-to-back women's elimination matchups.

The elimination winner has the option to return to their team or switch places with someone on another team.

Location: Croatia 🇭🇷

Duration: 6 to 7 weeks

Prize money: $500,000

April 25th:

• Jonna did not DQ; PR was inferring that because the elimination schedule has been so abnormal.

• Paulie was eliminated after Jonna.

• PR thinks Jonna had no shot to win her particular elimination.

• There is still the possibility the next boot is a woman.

May 1st:

May 9th:

• PR says Amanda vs. Desi was likely pole wrestle, Gamer denotes it as pole wrestle.

May 11th:

• Departure day for Season 39 is only ~3 weeks away.

• Gamer says Wes vs. Dusty was a timed elimination.

• Gamer says Cassidy vs. Alyssa L was a physical elimination.

• PR trolling or something one of her birdies told her?:

Stealing the money at the end to multiple ppl instead of just one person...

• Have fun!! Be cool to one another (and to the Unspoiled). This is our space to revel in all the rad secrets we know that others don't know! 😝
