Production[]
This season featured 16 brand new castaways along with two returning "captains" from past seasons. Dominic Burell and Jonathan Milardo were chosen to return. Burell, will be the captain of the red tribe, Savaii, and Milardo will be the captain of the blue tribe, Upolu.
The 16 castaways were chosen from 48 semi-finalists, who were chosen from a larger group of 800 people.
Other rumored contestants to be in consideration to return were Zan Cho, Jason Morton, Dania Spears, and Cassandra Perrault.
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.
- Redemption Island: After a castaway is voted out, they will be sent to Redemption Island where they will face off against other voted off castaways to return into the game at a certain point.
