Ecstasy Cagayan was the inaugural season of XTC. Based off the 28th season of Survivor, the game was split into three tribes of six based on their dominant attribute: "Brawn" (athleticism), "Brains" (intelligence), and "Beauty" (attractiveness and charisma). The game had an intense pre-merge filled with blind-sides. The merge was left with 4 Brains, 4 Brawns, and 2 Beauties. It resulted in an extremely intense merge which included blindside after blindside and multiple idol plays. Kody defeated Jay at the F4 fire-making competition resulting in the Final 3 being Jayla, Amber, and Kody. Jayla recieved 6 of the 7 jury votes and became the first winner of the series.
Ecstasy Big Brother was the second season of XTC. Based off the 11th season of Big Brother, the game was split into 4 “Cliques” of 4. The Cliques were Nerds, Jocks, Preps, and Rebels. The Pre-Jury phase of the game was uneventful with a plethora of unanimous votes. The game kicked up in the Jury phase with some big moves. Paula won the Final HoH and evicted John. Paula ended up winning 6-1 against Carley.
Ecstasy Panama was the third season of XTC with the game returning to Survivor format for good. Like Season 1, the game was split into three tribes of six. The Pre-Merge phase of the game saw multiple tribe swaps and some big moves. The merge occurred with 10 left. One original tribe group dominated the Merge into the Final 2 with AJ and Ricky outlasting everyone. After an intense Final Tribal Council, Ricky won with an extremely close 4-3 vote.
Ecstasy St. Lucia was the fourth season of XTC. This season had the largest cast with 20 and was also the first to include returning players. Four “Underdogs” from previous seasons returned for their second shot to win. The pre-merge gameplay was extremely intense, and included a Tribal Council where 3 idols were played and all votes were nullified. The hardcore gameplay continued in the merge phase with blindside after blindside. The final 3 ended up being Emily, Stephen, and Andy. The Final vote ended up being a 4-4 tie between Emily and Stephen. Emily became the fourth winner after Andy broke the tie and voted for her.
Ecstasy Sierra Leone was the fifth season of Survivor. This season had the largest all-newbie cast with 20 players. The game started off with four tribes of five before a swap occurred with 16 players left splitting the tribes into groups of 8. One tribe dominated challenges, leaving the other decimated at the merge phase. They were continued to be picked off, with 7 of the Final 8 being from the same Swapped Tribe. In the end, Jenn, Mike, and Jeff were the Final 3. After an intense Final Tribal Council, the vote was again very close like the past 2 seasons. Jeff became the fifth XTC Winner, by a vote of 5-3.
Ecstasy Zakynthos: All Stars was the Sixth season of XTC, and the first to have an All-Returnee cast. 22 of the best players to play XTC returned to win the all-star crown. The cast was extremely dynamic, with the game starting off with two tribes of 11, with a season long twist that all players lived in one camp. This meant that cross-tribaling communication was allowed. This set up for an interesting pre-merge where big names were voted off left and right, including multiple winners. Tribes Merged at the Final 13 mark. The story of the Merge phase of the game was that an alliance of three called the “3Queens”(Shon, Billy, and Trevor), which had been on the minority all season, were able to dominate the merge and make Final 4 together. At Final 4 after an intense endurance challenge that Billy won, Trevor was voted off. After the most heated Final Tribal Council the series had ever seen, Billy was crowned the winner of Ecstasy Zakynthos: All Stars. For the fourth straight season, FTC came down to the last vote, 5-4-0 with Billy securing the win over Shon and Travis.
Ecstasy Yakushima was the Seventh season of XTC. Coming off a brief hiatus after All Stars, XTC returned with a cast of Eighteen new players. This season was the first to have a season long twist, which consisted of tribes being able to vote to award a player from the losing tribe immunity right before the vote. This season is mainly known for it’s cast, which is widely regarded as the best XTC has had. There were intense rivalries, messy entertaining moves (Rocky idoling out Taylor at F6), and the best strategic duo in XTC history (Kyle and Sid). After all the dust was settled Tyler was crowned the winner of Ecstasy Yakushima. For the fifth straight season, FTC came down to the last vote, 5-3-0 with Tyler securing the win over Nick and Rocky.
Ecstasy El Hierro was the Eighth season of XTC with a cast of 20 brand new players to XTC. The season started off with four tribes of five that quickly swapped into three tribes of six after one eviction and a walk out. The merge was quickly dominated by the "Strong Merge" alliance until they turned on each other. El Hierro will be remembered for its dynamic cast (including the introduction of some great brand new players to the org community like Benji, Kaylee, Quintin, Scott, Natalia, Amber, Ashley, Tommy and Ricky), crazy blindsides (Kaylee, Tyler, Sam, Scott, AJ, and Leah), and an epic final 4 tribal council where both alliances turned on each other setting the scene for a crazy FTC. For the sixth straight season, and for the second time in XTC history, the FTC came down to literally the last vote. The jury was tied 4-4-0 between Ricky and Christine so it was up to the third finalist, Natalia, to cast the deciding vote, which she did in favor of her LatinX alliance partner, giving Ricky the win over the fan favorite Christine.
Ecstasy Mallorca was the ninth season of XTC and it was comprised of a diverse cast of newbies, returnees, and ORG veterans that were placed into three tribes of six. Drago emerged as a powerful force in the early tribe challenges. Soon after the swap Drago began to fall to the combined forces of Palma and Cabrera in a first-ever, firepowered joint tribal council where three idols were played. The early merge sent home some prolific ORG vets and had all players building an alliance with Jake. After a contentious F8 tribal, lines were drawn in the Mallorca sand and Jeff, Jake, and April emerged as the final three. Outwitting, Outplaying, and Outflirting his way through the competition, Jake was crowned the winner of season nine with a final vote of 6-1-1. The cast will be remembered for their early blindsides, over-the-top players, and tight lipped tribals.
Ecstasy Devil’s Island was the tenth season of XTC and it was comprised of a diverse cast of 18 XTC newbies divided into two tribes. It was notable that this was the first time in XTC history that the game started off with more females players than males and the first time a season started off with only two tribes. The season was a roller-coaster throughout, starting with a crazy pre-merge which saw several blindsides and numerous high profile exits. The game kicked into high-gear during the merge, where voting blocks dominated and power changed hands nearly every vote. By Final 7 there were three main duos left in the game and some were successful in betraying their partners while others were not. The final 3 ended up consisting of Alexander, Grace and Torry with Grace winning 7-1-0. This turned out to be a controversial ending , with many believing Torry should’ve received more credit. All in all, despite some postseason revelations the season is well received for it’s stellar cast and hardcore gameplay with every single player going all-out. ORG newbies once again dominated, with 5 of the Final 7 and 7 of the Final 11 being first time players.
