The major twist this season was that the team tribes were divided mostly by gender, with the Timo tribe (South Team) initially comprising seven men and one woman, while the Pantai tribe (North Team) comprising seven women and one man. As the only member of their gender on their respective tribes, Björn Lemeire and Fatima Aboulouafa were made leaders of their tribes and given immunity at their tribe's first respective Tribal Council.
A shocking discovery was made in episode 4 when Fatima was forced to leave the competition as it had been discovered that she was four months pregnant. In the same episode, a tribe swap occurred, in which Giovani Oosters and Judge Chambliss switched tribes with Jutta Borms and Karen Vanautgaerden. Another twist occurred in episode 7 when, following the merge and Karen's subsequent elimination, she was told that instead of being eliminated, she would compete in duels at "Devils Island" with the next contestant to be voted out. The loser of each duel would be eliminated, and the winner of the final duel would re-enter the game at the final three. In another format change, the final five contestants in the merged tribe competed in a challenge, eliminating the two losers. A second challenge occurred at the final three. The winner of the final duel on Devil's Island, Ilona van der Laan, would go on to lose the final challenge.
Ultimately, it was Jutta Borms from Belgium who won the season over Judge Chambliss from the Netherlands to become the Sole Survivor. The jury vote resulted in a 4-4 tie, which was eventually broken by a public jury vote in which the public voted in favor of making Jutta the winner, with 66% of the vote.[3][4][5]
