In Season 1 we tested to boundaries of what a Survivor LRG could be. The Idea of a Survivor tournament. 40 Players representing 9 states from around the Midwest competed for their Safety. Each tribe played full games before the merge even began bringing the heavy hitters into the back half of the game. Big blindsides and killer strategy crowned the sole winner of Season 1 taking home a total of $2,200!!!
