## Production

The third season was announced on August 17, 2019, with applications opening the same day, closing over one week later on August 26, 2019. 22 people applied, 4 were cut from the casting, and 18 went on to become the castaways competing in the game. The full cast was revealed on August 28, 2019, along with the tribal designations.

This season, eighteen castaways were divided into two tribes of nine. The tribes are named after the places in the Bahamas - Arawak, wearing red, and Inagua, in black. On Day 4, a third tribe was added - Samana, with teal. On Day 7, the tribes merged into Eleuthera, wearing brown.

The series is produced and hosted by SuitMan13, with production assistance from Haus Gaga.

## Features

### Twists

* **Pirate's Crew:** Each tribe elected one player to be the Captain of their pirate ship, tasked with the job of assigning specific roles to their fellow shipmates, awarding them with specific challenge advantages.
	+ **The Brig:** One player from each tribe is sent to the Brig, and will lose their ability to vote. To be released, they must get the player sent from the opposite tribe eliminated from the game.
* **Island Chest:** A chest containing a major twist could be found, giving the holder the ability to open the chest and unleash said twist into the game. After two rounds, the chest must be passed to another player.
	+ **One Day Tribes:** On Day 11, the eight remaining castaways were divided back into two tribes, just for a Double Tribal Council that day, before reverting back to a normal merged tribe.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 4, the Arawak and Inagua tribes underwent a tribe switch, mixing up the tribes in a school-yard pick. The Samana tribe was created during this switch.

### Powers

* **Hidden Immunity Idols:** There was one hidden idol placed in each tribe camp, which could be found by correctly guessing the location in camp where it was hidden.
* **Vote Stealer:** This power enables the user to take away someone's vote and instead cast two themselves at a particular Tribal Council. In the event that the holder is eliminated, he or she must will it to another player still in the game.
