## Production

The thirty-first season was revealed on September 28, 2023. Applications opened the same day, and closed over two weeks later on October 14, 2023. 44 people applied, 23 were cut from the casting, and 21 went on to become the new castaways competing in the game. The full cast was revealed on October 16, 2023, along with the tribal designations.

This season, twenty-one castaways were divided into three tribes of seven. The tribes are named after rivers in Brazil - Juruá, wearing purple, Paraná, with teal, and Tapajós, wearing orange. On Day 10, the tribes merged into Arcoíris, wearing magenta.

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

## Features

### Twists

* **Beads of Brazil:** Each castaway received two real beads and two fake beads at the start of the game, which they could trade with other players throughout the season. Combining six real beads would craft a Hidden Immunity Idol, but including any fake beads would instead create a Fake Idol.
* **Double Tribal Council:** On Day 4, two tribes went to Tribal Council to vote someone out, with only one tribe winning immunity.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 5, the Juruá, Paraná and Tapajós tribes underwent a tribe switch, mixing up the tribes in a school-yard pick. The Juruá tribe was dismantled in the switch.
* **Reverse & Revoke:** The basic pre-merge *Survivor* format is reversed, so the players voted first, and then did the challenge after. Both tribes were required to vote one castaway out, with the challenge deciding which of the two castaways voted out stays, and which of the two goes home.

### Powers

* **Hidden Immunity Idols:** In a major change to normal distribution, players were able to craft authentic hidden idols by trading and then combining six real Beads of Brazil.
	+ **Fake Idols:** There was a potential to create Fake Idols this season, if a player unknowingly used any fake Beads of Brazil to create an idol.
* **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 a future tribal.
* **Vote Stealer:** This power enables the user to take away someone's vote and instead cast two themselves at a particular Tribal Council.
* **Ejector Seat:** This power enables the user to leave Tribal Council. They cannot be voted out, but also cannot vote at Tribal.
* **Idol Nullifier:** This power enables the user to void the use of a Hidden Immunity Idol, by playing it on a specific person.

## Contestants

## Voting Table

* **^Note 3** : Newz used a Vote Stealer, taking away Reynolds's vote at this Tribal Council and cast two votes himself.
* **^Note 4** : A Hidden Immunity Idol was used, negating all votes against the user.
