The tribes this season were Malolo, wearing green, Nacula, wearing blue, Ovalau, wearing yellow, and Vatoa, wearing red. The tribes this season are named after islands of Fiji. On Day 6, the tribes merged into the Lautoka tribe, wearing black, which is named after the second largest city in Fiji.

20 people applied, 4 were cut from casting, and the remaining 16 went on to be this seasons castaways. The full cast of 16 and tribes were revealed on June 28, 2016.

## Twists

* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** There was one hidden idol placed in each tribe camp, which could be found by correctly guessing the answer to the clues sent daily.
* **Four-Tribe Format:** For the first time in the Second Generation, the tribes were divided into four tribes instead of the usual two.
* **Color Level Hierarchy:** The tribes this season were divided based on their Tengaged color level. The lowest levels (White - Orange) were the Malolo tribe, the low-middle levels (Orange - Light Green) were the Nacula tribe, the high-middle levels (Dark Green - Red) were the Ovalau tribe, and the highest levels (Red - TV Star) were the Vatoa tribe.
* **Double Tribal Council:** On Day 1, the two tribes who finished last in the Immunity Challenge both had to go to Tribal and each vote someone out.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 2, the four tribes were randomly shuffled into two new tribes of seven. The Nacula and Vatoa tribes were dismantled in this swap.
