Production[]
This season features twenty former castaways, who have all only played once and never won, returning for a second chance to play the game. The two tribes of ten for this season are named after places in Burkina Faso. They are Banfora, wearing black (radiation symbol), and Garango, in red (virus symbol). Solenzo, a third tribe, was introduced on Day 3, wearing yellow (skull and crossbones insignia). On Day 9, the tribes merged into Nahouri, wearing blue.
This season, the cast was selected through an open public vote. All castaways who have played only once before were eligible to apply as a candidate. Each person was allowed to cast one ballot only, selecting their top ten castaways they would wish to see play again. The poll, featuring 60 candidates, opened on March 8, 2016. The full cast of twenty was revealed after the poll was closed on March 23, 2016, and the tribal divisions were revealed on March 24, 2016.
Twists[]
- Public Vote: For the first time, the season setup was tailored by the audience, as they selected the returning cast and returning twists in two public votes.
- Continuous Mutiny: Returning twist from Vietnam and Last Leap. At each Immunity Challenge, starting from the second day, the castaways are given the opportunity to mutiny from their current tribe and join the opposite tribe instead. It is a form of Tribe Switch.
- Instant Idols: Returning twist from the original Second Chances. The castaways were asked on Day 1 and Day 7 if they would like a hidden immunity idol. If they said yes they could have one - however as a punishment they were unable to compete in the next two immunity challenges for their tribe and it was known to all that they had an idol. This season, the maximum five castaways all stood up to take one on both occasions, resulting in ten idols total entering the game through the twist.
- Three-Tribe Format: Although initially starting with two tribes, the addition of the auxiliary Solenzo tribe on Day 3 means that this is the tenth total season to feature more than two tribes. It is also the fourth all-returnee season to feature three tribes, after New Zealand, Conqueror's Crusade and Polynesia.
- Returning Players: Twenty former contestants, all of whom have played only once and did not win the game, determined by public vote, returned for a second chance.
- Double Tribe Switch: On Day 3, the Banfora and Garango tribes underwent a tribe switch, mixing up the tribes. The Solenzo tribe was introduced in this swap. Then on Day 8, there was a shock second switch, which dismantled Banfora as a tribe for the revival of the two-tribe format.
- Tribe Mutiny: The option to mutiny from one tribe to another by choice returned this season, for the third time as part of the Continuous Mutiny twist from Vietnam and Last Leap.
- One Day Merge: On Day 7, the fifteen remaining castaways were merged into one tribe for one day, and all participated in Tribal Council before switching into two new tribes the next day.
- Hidden Immunity Idols: There was one hidden idol placed in each tribe camp, which can be found by correctly guessing the answer to the clues sent daily to the immune tribes. There was also an extra hidden idol in the post-merge camp, which was found and played early, so replaced with another idol.
- Extra Vote: This season featured two extra votes as prizes in the Survivor Auction. Both were won by Amy C., however only one was used.
