On March 15, 17, 18, and 22, throughout each day, the castaways started to be revealed on different Azteca Uno shows: Venga la Alegría, Ventaneando, Mimí Contigo, and Al Extremo. On the night of March 24, the castaways departed for the Dominican Republic.
On March 26, it was revealed on Venga la Alegría that the new host who would take Arturo Islas Allende's place would be the sports commentator Carlos Guerrero, mostly known as "Warrior".
==Twists/Changes==
* Expanded Cast: Unlike last season that featured sixteen contestants, this season begins with twenty-four contestants.
* Tribe Captains: At the beginning of the game, both tribes selected a tribe captain. Jaguares selected Dani Cortés as the leader, while Halcones chose Pablo Martí. This captain (symbolized by a black buff) would make important decisions throughout the competition.
**On Day 14, the tribes attended Tribal Council to vote for a new tribe captain. Halcones again chose Pablo, while Jaguares selected Sargento Rap.
**On Day 43, the tribes again voted for a new tribe captain. This time, Halcones chose Adianez Hernández, while Jaguares selected Cyntia González.
**On Day 81, the tribes were announced to vote secretly for a new tribe captain. The next day it was revealed that Halcones once again chose Adianez, while Jaguares now selected Alejandra Toussaint.
* First Impressions: The host instructed the newly marooned castaways to make their first vote-off. Relying only from first impressions, the tribes must choose who they think is the weakest on their respective tribe. These two chosen contestants (Gabo Cuevas from Jaguares and Bella de la Vega from Halcones) would be bound hand and foot in the first Reward Challenge, which consisted of taking the bound participant in the sea to the shore of the beach to win the chest with the largest amount of supplies. At the end of the challenge it was revealed that these two would be the only ones in charge of distributing the supplies within their tribes.
* Resurrection Totem: On Day 1, tribe captains had to choose who they believed to be their best ally on their respective tribe. Pablo selected Paco Pizaña, and Dani chose Sargento. The captains and their allies competed in the first challenge of the season for the Resurrection Totem, where Dani and Sargento were the winners for Jaguar. Therefore, the owner of the totem would always be the current captain of the Jaguares tribe. The said totem is to be used after the elimination of a contestant with the power to save them and return them to the competition. If the captain wants to use the totem on themselves, the majority of the tribe must agree.
* Exile: Occasionally, after the last Reward Challenge of the cycle, the losing tribe must exile a specific number of people. The exiled contestants are sent to a remote location, entirely separate from the existing camps, where they would fend for themselves until dawn. Since Day 22, the exiled participants must spend the night in a bamboo cage filled with water and mud.
* Individual Immunity Challenges: As the previous season, the members of the tribe(s) fight each other for an Immunity Necklace, the winner(s) gains individual immunity and the power to directly nominate a member of their tribe if required.
* Nomination Mechanism: The tribe(s) attend Tribal Council to nominate a certain number of players.
** Cycle 1 to Cycle 7: Two Tribal Immunity Challenges are performed, after each challenge the losing tribe must attend Tribal Council and nominate one of its members by vote. If the same tribe loses both challenges, the Immunity Necklace winner would nominate another member, for a total of three nominees.
** Cycle 8 to Cycle 14: There was only one Tribal Immunity Challenge, the losing tribe would have three nominees, two by vote and one chosen by the Individual Immunity winner.
** Merge: When there were two Immunity Necklace winners, each would directly nominate one castaway and the tribe would nominate another by vote. When there was only one Immunity Necklace winner, they would directly nominate one castaway and the tribe would nominate two by vote.
** Final Five: The castaways who did not win the two Final Immunity Challenges would be automatically nominated.
* No Tiebreaker: In the event of a tie in the Tribal Council vote, there will be no Tiebreaker vote and the tied contestants will be nominated, this would modify the number of nominees originally planned. If the tribe exceeds two nominees due to a tie, the Immunity Necklace winner(s) may not nominate any other player.
* Extinction Duel: The nominees of the cycle face a challenge in which the loser is eliminated.
* Hidden Immunity Idols: On Day 6, it was announced that a Hidden Immunity Idol is hidden at each camp. On Day 62, a new Hidden Immunity Idol was hidden for each tribe. These work as in the previous season by saving the user from nomination at a Tribal Council.
* Neutral Negotiation Zone: One castaway from each tribe is taken to a tent in the jungle, where both must make decisions that can change the course of the game, having to negotiate and reach an agreement before the time set in the hourglass runs out or else be punished.
** First Tribe Switch: On Night 15, the tribe captains were sent to decide to exchange a member of their tribe for a member of the rival tribe. Pablo selected Bella, and Sargento chose Denisha García to be exchanged.
** Additional Castaways: On Night 28, the tribe captains were sent, it was announced to them that two new castaways would arrive to the competition and they must decide which tribe they would join, with the condition that the maximum number of members per tribe is twelve. Pablo selected the male castaway, and Sargento chose the female castaway to join their tribes.
** Reward Steal: On Night 86, the tribe captains were sent to negotiate between a hamburger for each member of the tribe or a mystery envelope. The Halcones tribe got the hamburgers, while the Jaguares tribe got the mystery envelope, that the next day it was revealed as the right to steal one reward from the opposing tribe. The advantage would expire after the Cycle 15.
* Second Tribe Switch: On Night 60, a tribe switch occurred at Tribal Council, spreading the seventeen remaining castaways into the two tribes.
* Captains' Challenges: Occasionally, the tribe captains face each other in a challenge in which the losing captain's tribe suffers a punishment or disadvantage.
* Vote Change: Since the Immunity Challenge of Cycle 13, a "secret advantage" was hidden in challenges. It was revealed to give its holder the right to change a vote at one Tribal Council. It was usable up until the beginning of the merge.
* Late Merge: The merge was originally to occur in Cycle 15 with eleven castaways remaining, but with the use of the Resurrection Totem, the merge occurred with twelve castaways in the game.
* Captaincy Challenges: Occasionally at the merge, the castaways compete in a challenge to become captains and be able to choose their teams for the next Reward Challenge(s) by a Schoolyard Pick.
* Longer Game: The game lasted 131 days, more than twice as long as the previous season.
* Final Three and Public Vote: Unlike the previous season where the Final Two faced a Final Challenge, this season featured a Finale with three remaining finalists facing a public vote to decide who would win the title of Sole Survivor and the prize money.
