* **One Returning Player Per Tribe:** Two former contestants returned to compete in this season. Former castaways **Marissa Bailey** and **Milo Flores** joined this season's batch of contestants.
* **Challenges:** Similar to the previous season, with the advent of the Redemption Island duels, this season featured several challenges for both reward and immunity. Only a single standalone Reward Challenge occurred during the season.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** The clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol was hidden at camp. Once the clue is unearthed, the player will have a better chance of finding the idol.

## Twists

* **Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers:** The 18 contestants are divided into three tribes based on how they are perceived by their immediate communities:
	+ The Savu​ tribe are the "Heroes", who serve their duties heroically and courageously.
	+ The Yadra tribe are the "Healers", who serve others by helping them heal physically or emotionally.
	+ The Dodonu​ tribe are the "Hustlers", who are praised for their work ethic and determination in achieving goals.
* **Hidden Immunity Idols:** For this season, clues for the regular Hidden Immunity Idols will be etched on a tree. In addition to regular idols, before the marooning, a "super-idol", an idol which can be used once a castaway receives enough votes to be voted out at Tribal Council rather than before the votes are read, will be planted beneath the supplies. This idol can only be used during the first Tribal Council. If the finder's tribe wins the first Immunity Challenge, that player must anonymously send the idol to a member of the losing tribe.
* **Return of Previous Tiebreaker Rules:** The revote, which was removed in the previous season, will be reinstated this season. This was announced to the castaways on this season prior to the start of the inaugural Immunity Challenge.
* **Tribe Switch:** A tribe switch occurred on Day 9 at the final 15, shuffling the remaining castaways into three tribes of five.
* **Vote Blocker:** After the Reward Challenge on Day 9, a vote blocker was hidden in a bag of potato chips for the winning tribe. This allows a castaway to block another from voting at the next Tribal Council. Should the person who found the advantage not attend the next Tribal Council, they must block someone on the losing tribe from voting.
* **Early Merge:** This season merged with twelve castaways in the game.
* **Extra Vote:** The extra vote returns, though with a difference in its mechanism. This allows one castaway to place the advantage into the voting urn in lieu of their vote and take a blank parchment, allowing them to vote twice at a future Tribal Council.
* **Mandatory Day 38 Fire-Making Challenge:** Instead of a traditional vote, the person who wins the Final Immunity Challenge will get to choose one person to take with them to the Final Three. The remaining two castaways would compete in a fire-making challenge for the right to reach Day 39.
* **Expanded Jury and Final Three:** Instead of the conventional Final Two facing the jury of seven, the Final Tribal Council was held with a Final Three facing an eight-person jury.
* **Reformatted Final Tribal Council:** Instead of having each jury member speak one by one, an open forum was held to ensure a more insightful rapport between the jury and finalists.

**\*** **Eve Turner** used her Hidden Immunity Idol on Spencer, negating 2 votes against him.

**\*2** Spencer had the advantage of choosing on person to be in the Final Three with him.

## Twists

* **First Impressions:** On Day 1, castaways were instructed the newly marooned castaways to make their first vote-off. Relying only from first impressions, the tribes must select which of their tribemates will be the biggest liability to their team, and these two players will "not make it to the journey." The contestants assumed that the two would be eliminated, but the "journey" was revealed to be a four-hour trek to their camps. The two people who were singled out (**Shelly** from Galibi and **Suzanne**from Yuruna) will be airlifted to their camps, while their tribemates underwent a treacherous walk to their respective encampments.
* **One-Time Use Hidden Immunity Idol:** After being whisked away to their camps, the two left out players were given a choice between creating a shelter (to possibly change their perceptions of them) or search for a one-time use Hidden Immunity Idol that can only be good at their first visiting Tribal Council. Unfortunately, both idols were never found and wasted away in the process.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** Hidden Immunity Idols return this season, with one being hidden at each tribe and clues for the idol being found on Exile Island.
* **Exile Island:** Exile Island returns this season, with new twists. After a Reward Challenge, the winning tribe must send one person from the losing tribe to Exile Island, and in return, the said person must pick one member from the winning tribe to join him/her on Exile Island. Another twist is that, upon reaching Exile Island, the two banished players will get to chose between two unmarked bottles; one bottle contained a clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol, hidden somewhere at their camps. The player who gets the clue will also have the option to switch tribes at will (hypothetically, if an exiled player already found his/her tribe's idol, the player in question may switch tribes to potentially find the other tribe's idol). The person who gets the second bottle will get nothing.

Simmotion

****Simmotion**** (also known as Always on the Run) is a recurring individual challenge that originated in **Survivor: Tocantins**, and reappeared in *South Pacific*, *Cambodia*, *Ghost Island*, *David vs. Goliath*, and *Winners at War*. The challenge requires strong mental focus and endurance.

## Recurring *Survivor* Challenge

### Description:

A recurring dexterity/endurance challenge.

### Appearances:

*Tocantins*
*South Pacific*
*Cambodia*
*Ghost Island*
*David vs. Goliath*
*Winners at War*

## Description

Each castaway, usually with one hand tied behind their back, must drop a ball into a metal chute. The ball will travel down a spiraling metal track and exit out of one of two points (a turnstile gate in the middle of the track causes the balls to come out at alternate exits). The castaway must catch the ball and drop it back into the chute at the top. At designated intervals, an additional ball is added to the track until the maximum amount of balls are simultaneously in play. If a ball exits the track and is not caught at any time, the castaway is eliminated from the challenge. The last person standing wins.

In **Survivor: Ghost Island**, the challenge was modified to be used as a team challenge. The metal track was replaced with large wooden cascading beams, and the balls were replaced with large spools which would roll down the track. One member would mount the spool on one end, while the other member catches. The members of the pair will alternate tasks. This version of the challenge is significantly more physically demanding as the challenge setup is significantly larger than the original, requiring players to run from one end to the other.

 Tribes

## Twists

* **Three Tribes:** The castaways are divided into three tribes of six members each.
* **Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty:** The division of the tribes is based on the most prominent personal attributes of each castaway: brawn, brains, and beauty.
* **Tribe Leaders:** At the beginning of the game, all tribes vote for a tribe leader, who will be tasked with making decisions (only the first impressions' vote) for the tribe as a whole.
* **First Impressions:** The leaders of the tribes must choose who they think is the weakest on their respective tribe. The 3 chosen contestants (one from each tribe) get to ride to camp in the chopper and get there faster. At the camp, they choose between a clue for the Hidden Immunity Idol or an extra bag of rice for the tribe.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** While the current format of the Hidden Immunity Idol still applies, an additional Hidden Immunity Idol will be in play post-merge. The said idol is to be used after the votes have been read and can be only used by its finder. This format is similar to how the idol was supposed to be used back in **Survivor: Panama** and **Survivor: Cook Islands**.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 12, Paluka is disbanded, and the remaining fourteen castaways are shuffled and randomly distributed into the new Gadu and Ubong tribes.
* **Early Merge:** This season merged with eleven castaways in the game.
* **Final Two and Nine-Person Jury:** For the first time in Survivor history, two finalists would face a 9-person jury. This is also the first time since **Survivor: Tocantins** to have a Final Tribal Council with only two players.

The first tribe to score three points would win.
**Reward:** Flint.
**Winner:** Villains

**Challenge:** **Lock, Load and Light**
Six members from each tribe would race to assemble a boat from seven pieces and seven planks and then paddle the boat out into the ocean to light their torch from the raft.

The seven planks from the boat would then be used to assemble a ladder to the top of a platform and place the completed puzzle in a slot halfway up. The first tribe to have their whole tribe at the top of the platform and light their fire barrel would win.

## Twists

* **Four Tribes:** For the second time, the castaways are divided into four tribes, containing five members each.
* **Tribes Divided by Ethnicity:** This season featured twenty contestants that were divided into four tribes divided by race, despite controversy.
* **Exile Island:** Returning from the previous season, after a Reward Challenge, players may banish a player from the rival tribe to Exile Island. This island (entirely separate from the existing camps) will force the banished player to fend for him/herself until the upcoming Immunity Challenge (unless stated otherwise). The player would not be left in despair, for he/she will be given clues to a Hidden Immunity Idol that is hidden somewhere on the island.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** During this season, the Hidden Immunity Idol is hidden somewhere on Exile Island.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 7, the four tribes became two. Makawe and Komai were dissolved, with the 18 remaining contestants spread into the new Aomaya and Bakhao tribes with nine members each.
* **Double Tribal Council:** On Day 15, both the Bakhao and Aomaya tribes were forced to visit Tribal Council to eliminate one of their own.
* **Mutiny:** On Day 19, the tribes were offered to switch tribe affiliations.
* **Message in a Bottle:** After losing the Day 24 Immunity Challenge, the Aomaya tribe received a sealed bottle with a note that can only be read after the Tribal Council elimination. The tribe assumed it was a note about instructions about the upcoming merge. But much to their shock, the note instructed them to vote out another member of the tribe.
* **Delayed Merge:** Because of the sealed message in a bottle twist, the tribes were merged with nine members.
* **Final Three and Expanded Jury:** Unlike the first twelve seasons where the usual Final Two facing a seven-player jury is featured, this season featured a Final Tribal Council with three remaining finalists facing a nine-person jury.
