Format changes

This season largely retained the format from the previous season, with several changes:

  • Hidden immunity idols: A concept from the American production, hidden immunity idols are small trinkets that, when played on a castaway after the votes were cast at Tribal Council but before they were read, negated all votes cast against them at that Tribal Council.
  • Exile Island: Another concept from the American production, Exile Island is a secluded location where castaways were banished from their tribemates for a night or two; in this version, following each Immunity Challenge, two castaways were sent to Exile Island, where they competed in a duel for a clue to a hidden immunity idol.
  • Individual immunity challenge and veto challenge: The Double-Power challenge from the previous season was changed. Instead, before the merge, the members of the tribe that lost the immunity challenge competed in a challenge for individual immunity in that night's Tribal Council. After the merge, the castaways competed for the power to block a tribemate from voting in that night's Tribal Council, in the form of a veto bracelet that they would give to the player whose vote they are blocking.
  • Endgame: At the end of the game, the remaining castaways were subjected to a public vote. During the live finale months after the game's conclusion, the player with the fewest votes was eliminated, automatically joining the jury. The now-completed jury then cast their votes for the winner, which were read immediately afterward.
