Twists/Changes

 * Hidden Immunity Idol: A Hidden Immunity Idol is hidden at each camp. However, these idols have two halves, one of which must be given to another castaway before sundown on the same day that it is found. The two halves can later be combined into an idol with full power.
 * Tribe Switch: On Day 16, a Tribe Switch occurred, spreading the 15 remaining castaways across two tribes of seven, with one remaining castaway being sent to Exile Island to join the losing tribe as a replacement member of whomever was voted out.
 * Simplified Final Four Tribal Council: Instead of a traditional vote, the person who wins the final four Immunity Challenge will get to choose one person to take with them to the Final Three. The remaining two castaways would compete in a fire-making challenge to determine who would be eliminated.
 * Four Returning Players: Four previous castaways, from the past era will compete with a group of 16 new castaways.
