## Production

* The production team was comprised of seven members, each Outcast alumni:
	+ Ben
	+ Benjamin
	+ Hayley
	+ Kyle
	+ Oscar
	+ Otter
	+ Robert

## Format

* **Three Tribes:** The 24 castaways were divided into three tribes of eight:
	+ The Pongola tribe.
	+ The Tugela​ tribe.
	+ The Ulundi tribe.
* **Ranked Tribe Swap:** On Day 8, the castaways were instructed to rank the rest of their tribe members from first to last. These rankings were used to draw up three new tribes:
	+ The seven players with highest average rankings were placed onto the new Ulundi tribe.
	+ The seven players who ranked in the middle were placed onto the new Tugela tribe.
	+ The seven players with lowest average rankings were placed onto the new Pongola tribe.
* **Tribe Dissolve Challenge:** On Day 17, the contestants participated in an endurance challenge, where the tribe with the lowest average time would be dissolved. Ulundi placed last in the challenge, and its members were absorbed into the Pongola and Tugela tribes. In ranked order of performance in the dissolve challenge, the Ulundi tribe members were given the choice of heading to Pongola, Tugela or **Exile Lake**.
	+ Hugo and Aden opted to join the Pongola tribe.
	+ Riley, Luke and Adrienne opted to join the Tugela tribe.
	+ Louell placed last in the endurance challenge for Ulundi, and was sent to the only available spot on **Exile Lake.** She joined the Pongola tribe after they lost the next challenge and voted Aden out.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** Hidden Immunity Idols were inserted into the game at various intervals:
	+ At the beginning of the game, a clue to an idol was hidden on the FAQ section of the Perjury website, additionally hinted at during the Marooning video and the First Challenge's Treemail. This was found by Hugo on Day 4.
	+ On Day 11, after Roisin's elimination, the entire Ulundi tribe were given a clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol located on the Forum as a reward for being the top seven ranked players at the **Tribe Swap**. This idol was found by Luke on Day 11.
	+ On Day 21, after the **Tribe Dissolve**, an idol was hidden within the Taskmaster Immunity Challenges, where players undertaking certain tasks where given the opportunity to receive a clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol in exchange for taking a penalty on the challenge. This idol was hidden at Tribal Council and was unlocked by saying a certain passphrase at Tribal Council.
		- Adrienne, Riley and Louell accepted the offer and took the penalty, and Louell found the idol at Tribal Council.
		- Ben, Daniel and Max all declined the offer.
	+ At the **Survivor Auction** on Day 37, Merrilyn bought a clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol, which was hidden in plain sight at the Day 39 Immunity Challenge, where Merrilyn found the idol.
* **Double Tribal Councils:**
	+ On Day 6 and Day 15, only the first placing tribe would win immunity, sending both losing tribes to Tribal Council to vote out one person each.
	+ On Day 25, the castaways were informed that both tribes would attend Tribal Council and each vote somebody out, with one member of both tribes winning individual Immunity.
* **Exile Lake:** Exile was utilised throughout the season:
	+ On Day 18, all members of the dissolving Ulundi tribe were given the option to head to Exile Lake and join the losing tribe after the Day 20 Tribal Council. As nobody opted to go to Exile Lake, the tribe's lowest placer in the Dissolve Endurance Challenge, Louell was sent to Exile Lake, where she found an **Extra Vote** advantage. She joined the Pongola tribe on Day 20, after they lost the next challenge and voted Aden out.
	+ On Day 37, Louell was briefly exiled to the former Ulundi camp following the **Survivor Auction**. She was then promptly returned to the tribe chat.
* **Extra Vote:** On Day 18 whilst at **Exile Lake**, Louell was given an Extra Vote advantage which allowed her to cast a second vote whilst at the voting booth at any Tribal Council. However, this advantage would expire at the merge. Louell successfully used this advantage at the Day 28 Tribal Council.
* **Rock Draw Immunity:** At the Survivor Auction on Day 37, this advantage was offered. This grants a castaway immunity in the event of a Rock Draw stemming from a deadlocked tie vote. This version of the advantage was transferrable and could be played after the votes were read at Tribal Council. Luke bought this advantage and gave it to Riley at the Day 48 Tribal Council, protecting him from the ensuing Rock Draw that eliminated Louell.
