## Production

The twenty-sixth season was revealed on September 22, 2022. Applications opened the same day, and closed over two weeks later on October 12, 2022. 52 people applied, 32 were cut from the casting, and 20 went on to become the castaways competing in the game. The full cast was revealed on October 12, 2022, along with the tribal designations.

This season, twenty castaways were divided into two tribes of ten. The tribes are named after Taoist deities - Feng Bo, wearing teal, and Lei Gong, with red. On Day 8, the tribes merged into Banshui, wearing purple.

The series is produced and hosted by SuitMan13, with production assistance from Haus Gaga, JackTheFlop, PumpSmash, Spark\_, Ian.Reis, Christian37, Tierkreis and nutmeggiee.

## Features

### Twists

* **The Rolling Tides:** The hunting locations are split into High Tide (many advantages, lower power) and Low Tide (less advantages, higher power), switching every episode to create a dynamic environment.
* **Blackjack Gamble:** The ability for players to play a game of Blackjack, to potentially win an Extra Vote in the game if victorious, or a Vote Stealer if able to get an outright 21.
* **Shot in the Dark:** By sacrificing their vote at Tribal Council, a player in trouble may draw a parchment for a one in six chance to be immune from the vote. Although a successful outcome is slim, the safety acts as if a Hidden Immunity Idol has been played.
* **Double Tribal Council:** On Day 4, both tribes went to Tribal Council to vote someone out, with the challenge being individual.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 5, the Feng Bo and Lei Gong tribes underwent a tribe switch, mixing up the tribes in a school-yard pick.

### 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 Cache:** This power forces the player to abstain from voting at one Tribal Council, to use it instead as an extra vote at a future tribal.
* **Vote Blocker:** This power allows the holder to prevent one castaway from being able to vote for anyone at a specific Tribal Council.
* **Vote Torcher:** This power allows the player to void three votes cast against a particular player.
* **Extra Vote:** This power enables the user to vote twice at a particular Tribal Council.
