==Twists/Changes==
* Faimoșii vs Războinicii: The contestants are divided into two tribes based on their occupations and degree of success in life:
** The ​Faimoșii​​​​​ ​(meaning famous) tribe is made up of public figures from fields such as (but not limited to) sports and entertainment.
** The Războinicii (meaning warriors) tribe is made up of everyday Romanian contestants.
* Expanded Cast: Unlike last season that featured twenty contestants, this season featured twenty-four contestants.
*The Most Popular Player: TV viewers can vote for their favourite player. The Most Popular Player by the public vote will have immunity and the power to nominate a member of his/her tribe at Tribal Council.
* Public vote:  A public vote was held to decide which player should be considered the "Sole Survivor" and be awarded the grand prize.
*Island vs Champ: Since week 12 the castaways would compete for the right to the luxurious champ, the losing tribe would move to a new camp with the very basic of materials located in the middle of the jungle.
* Big Number of Reward Challenges: Unlike the American version with a maximum of one Reward Challenge before elimination, the Romanian version performs up to four or five Reward Challenges before the Immunity Challenge.
* Two Immunity Challenges: Two Immunity Challenges are performed, if a tribe wins both challenges, the losing tribe must attend the Tribal Council and two of its members will be nominated, but if each tribe wins a challenge, then both tribes will have one nominees.
* Elimination: Instead of the most voted person on the Tribal Council having to leave the competition, the losing tribe(s) votes to nominate one its members. Then The Most Popular Player by the public vote selects the last nominee from the tribe. Finally, the nominees face the public vote  in which the loser will be out of the game.
* No Tiebreaker: In the event of a tie in the Tribal Council vote, there will be no Tiebreaker vote and both tied contestants will be nominated.
* Merged Tribe: With only 13 players left in the game, the tribes merged, but despite living on the same beach, tribes would still be split, living in separate shelters and fending for their own tribe. The individual phase of the game occurred with 6 players left.
* Additional Castaways: On Day 28, Ana Porgras, Andrei Dascălu, Mihaela Berteanu and Sebastian Chitoșcă were added into game. On Day 90, Irisha Ceban, Maria Chițu, Raluca Dumitru and Vera Miron were added into the game. On Day 110, Adelina Damian, Andreea Lodbă, Bogdan Urucu and Cucu were added into the game.
