Production
This season featured eighteen all new castaways, divided into two tribes of nine. The tribes were split along gender lines. The tribes this season were Lopevi, an all male tribe wearing red, and Yasur, an all female tribe in yellow. The tribes are named after the Lopevi island and Mount Yasur, both found in Vanuatu. On Day 20, the two tribes merged into Alinta, wearing orange.

Twists

 * Expanded Cast: Following its predecessor, this season also featured eighteen castaways. The first season to do so featuring all brand new players.
 * Battle of the Sexes: Similarly to The Amazon, the castaways are divided into tribes based on gender. The Lopevi tribe was composed of all men and the Yasur tribe was composed of all women.
 * Double Tribal Council: On Day 7, both tribes were forced to attend Tribal Council separately to vote out one of their own.
 * Tribe Switch: On Day 11, selected tribe "chiefs" were tasked to rearrange the tribes, mixing up the men and the women.
