## Features

### Twists

* **Stranded Spirits:** This season brought a heavy emphasis on correcting the past mistakes of previous players to better one's game. This theme comprises of a series of twists to change the game and how the castaways navigate it.
* **Final Two:** Unlike the first twenty-eight seasons, this season featured a Final Tribal Council with only two remaining finalists facing the jury, instead of the traditional three.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 4, the Malabar and Regatta tribes underwent a tribe switch, mixing up the tribes in a random draw. The Oswego tribe was created during this switch.
* **Triple Tribal Council:** On Day 7, all three tribes went to Tribal Council to vote someone out, with the challenge being individual.

### 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 Stealer:** This power enables the user to take away someone's vote and instead cast two themselves at a particular Tribal Council.
* **Knowledge Is Advantage:** This advantage entitles one player to ask another castaway if they possess an advantage at Tribal Council. If the target has one, the player may steal it from them.
* **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.

* **Extra Vote:** This power enables the user to vote twice at a particular Tribal Council.
