This season we could expect to see the phrases to unlock the Hidden Immunity Idols’ powers. Also, if you watched the first four minutes of tonight’s episode of Survivor, which can be found on the CBS website or on the Survivor Youtube, you may have noticed that they revealed one of the twists for this season. They showed a clip of a podium with a board on it and I was able to pause the video and find out what it said! Here is what the board read:

“You must wait for all three players before you make your decision. Good news! This part of the challenge requires zero effort from you! So if you want, you can grab your paddles and race back to your tribe. Or… You can agree to secretly work together… and each earn an advantage in the process. You must each untie 20 knots to retrieve your advantage… To cover your lie, spread mud and fake blood over your body to prove how hard you worked to get your paddles. You’re only moments into the game… and you already have your first big opportunity.”

This twist could prove to be interesting depending on how the castaways decide to play it! Make sure you come back tonight starting at 8 PM EST for my live recap to find out how that twist plays out and more during tonight’s two-hour season premiere of Survivor 42!
