Production

This season featured 18 brand new castaways, divided into two tribes of nine. The tribes were named after things in nature for Maori. The tribes are Kohatu, wearing pink, and Puawai wearing purple.

The 18 castaways were chosen from 48 semi-finalists, who were chosen from a larger group of 800 people.

Twists

• Hidden Immunity Idols: This season, immunity idols are hidden at each of the tribe's camps, which can be found by clues hidden in rewards earned by the tribe.
