* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** The idols will be inconsistently hidden at camp, in challenges, and even at Tribal Council.

It is usable up until the final five.
* **Expanded Jury and Final Three:** Instead of the conventional Final Two facing the jury of seven, the Day 39 Tribal Council was held with a Final Three facing a ten-person jury.

## Twists

* **Four Returning Players:** Four previous castaways will compete with a group of 14 new castaways.
* **Edge of Extinction:** After being voted out and departing Tribal Council, those who were voted out were given the choice to permanently leave the game or go into the unknown for a chance to come back. After the merge, all castaways remaining on Edge of Extinction that did not quit would form the eventual jury.
* **Advantage Menu:** A clue hidden at the marooning would lead one person to find the Advantage Menu, giving them one of three advantages. The finder can either steal the reward from the winning tribe, use the parchment as an Extra Vote, or use it for individual immunity, which works similar to a Hidden Immunity Idol. The Advantage Menu expired after the third Tribal Council.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** A Hidden Immunity Idol is hidden at each camp. In addition, the both Edge of Extinction returnees were gifted a Hidden Immunity Idol upon their return. However, this idol has two halves, one of which must be given to another castaway before the next Tribal Council. If both castaways remain after Tribal Council, the two halves combine into an idol with full power.
* **Tribe Expansion:** With 15 castaways left, a tribe expansion occurred introducing the Mago​ tribe.
* **Extra Vote:** On Days 13 and 21, an Extra Vote was hidden on the Edge of Extinction. The person who found the Extra Vote would have the right to gift it to someone currently in the game. The Extra Vote hidden on Day 13 had the addition stipulation that it could only be gifted to someone attending the next Tribal Council.
* **Joint Tribal Council:** The two tribes who lost the sixth Immunity Challenge on Day 16 were both sent to Tribal Council as one group, but unlike a standard Double Tribal Council, they would vote as a group and only one person was voted out.
* **Early Merge:** This season merged with thirteen castaways in the game; twelve in the main game and one from the Edge of Extinction.
* **Simplified Final Four Tribal Council:** Instead of a traditional vote, the person who wins the final four 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 to determine who would be eliminated.
* **Final Three and Expanded Jury:** Three finalists faced a 15-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.
The Puppet Master

**The Pupper Master** is the season premiere of *Survivor: Samoa*.

## Challenges

* Reward
* Immunity
**Challenge:** **Chief's Choice**
A designated swimmer would swim out into the ocean to retrieve a key and swim back. The swimmer would hand the key to the designated strong person to unlock a chain around two bundles of heavy logs. The logs would have to be carried to the next station where a designated agile person would use the log bundles to climb on top of a balance beam. The agile person would need to pull a second key along a rope twisted around the balance beam while remaining on top of the balance beam. At the final stage, a designated smart person would use the second key to unlock a bag of puzzle pieces and use them to assemble a statue. The first tribe to assemble their statue would win.
**Reward:** Flint.
**Winner:** Sasae

**Challenge:** **Yank Your Hank**
Six members from each tribe would race across a series of three wooden A-frames carrying three coils of rope. At the end of the course, the six would use the rope to pull a heavy wooden crate across a ramp and up to the finish platform. The four remaining tribe members would disassemble the crate to use as puzzle pieces. The first tribe to solve the puzzle ("Without victory there is no survival.") would win.
**Winner:** Sasae

## Challenges

* Redemption Island Duel
* Reward/Immunity
**Challenge:** **Simmotion**
The castaways would drop a ball into a metal chute. The ball would travel down a spiraling metal track and exit out of one of two points. The castaway would have to catch the ball and drop the ball back into the chute at the top. Every few minutes, an additional ball would be added to the track until all six balls were simultaneously going around the track. A turnstile gate in the middle of the track would rotate, causing the balls to drop alternately from the two exits. If a ball exits the track and is not caught, the castaway would be eliminated from the challenge and from the game.
**Winner:** Harriet Berry

**Challenge:** **Piranha Feast**
Using only their mouths, the castaways would rip pieces of meat off a large pork roast and put it into a basket. The tribe with the most meat in the basket after ten minutes would win.

* **Mutiny:** Before the auction started, the castaways were invited to change tribe affiliations at will.
* **Fake Merge:** The two tribes, having a collective roster of ten members, were instructed to live on one camp for the rest of the game, believing the two tribes had merged. However, it was revealed not to be the case, with the tribes remaining separate and still competing for tribal immunity.

Once the raft is unclipped, they would race back to shore to solve a brain teaser. Their goal at the brain teaser is to release a metal ring from a rope. buried under the sand is a diagram that will help.

	+ The Yuva​​ tribe is the "Brawn" tribe; consisting of players who mostly rely on their brute strength and endurance.
