## Production

The second season was announced on July 26, 2019, with applications opening the same day, closing over one week later on August 3, 2019. 21 people applied, 3 were cut from the casting, and 18 went on to become the castaways competing in the game. The full cast was revealed on August 5, 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 Kalahari Desert - Hotazel, wearing yellow, and Windhoek, in purple. On Day 7, the tribes merged into Okavango, wearing green.

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

## Features

### Twists

* **Sit Out Sanctuary:** This season, up to two people per tribe could sit out of an Immunity Challenge, in the hope they could win an advantage if their tribe wins, whilst trying to avoid a punishment if their tribe loses.
* **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.
	+ **Swap Not Snuff:** Instead of being eliminated from the game, the player voted out at Tribal Council swaps tribes. This power has to be played six hours before Tribal Council to take effect.
* **Double Tribal Council:** On Day 3, both tribes went to Tribal Council to vote someone out, with the challenge being individual.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 4, the Hotazel and Windhoek tribes underwent an 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 Blocker:** This power allows the holder to prevent one castaway from being able to vote for anyone at a specific Tribal Council.
* **Vote Cache:** This power gives the player the option to abstain from voting at one Tribal Council, to use it instead as an extra vote at one of the following three tribals.
* **Idol Hack:** This new power gives the owner a chance to take control of their tribe's idol, by attempting to 'hack' it at the correct Tribal Council.
* **Juror Removal:** This power allows its holder to - at the Final Tribal Council - remove a member of the Jury, who will then not vote at Tribal Council. In the event that the holder is eliminated, he or she must will it to another player still in the game.

## Contestants
