Survivor: Upolu, also stylized as Survivor: Upolu- The Cursed Vote, is the thirty-fourth installment in the Koror ORG Survivor series.

Upolu is considered one of the strongest newbie seasons on Koror ORG, due to many factors, including the curse of the Namua tribe, one player's winning streak and unfortunate demise, and another player's aggressive gameplay. These, along with the season's perfect activity record, and its cast of amazing players, led to Upolu standing out among its competition.

Production

The season was announced on November 17th, 2017.

Twists/Changes

• The Cursed Vote- After a person is voted out of the game, they will have the opportunity to cast a vote at the tribal council following their boot. If a person chooses to not vote, or does not vote on time, their cursed vote will be nullified. In the event of a tie, the person will also be able to cast a cursed revote.
• Juror Removal Vote- On Day 38, the jury members were informed that they would be voting out one of their own prior to the Final Tribal Council. Mechanics worked the same as a regular tribal council, but all items leftover from the game were void. The juror to receive the most votes cast against them would be eliminated from the jury, and not allowed to participate in the finale, nor vote for a winner.
• Hidden Immunity Idols - Hidden Immunity Idols will be in play this season. One idol for each tribe will be hidden at the main camp. An idol will be hidden once the tribes merge as well.
• No Escape - Players are not allowed to quit the game. They must ask to be voted out by their tribe at the following tribal council if they wish to leave.
