This season introduces a new twist:
From Wikipedia: When a contestant is voted off their tribe, instead of leaving the game, they are taken to the area known as Redemption Island. There, they will have to sustain themselves in the same manner as when they were with their tribe, living on limited food and water supplies and shelter. When the next contestant is voted off, they are also sent to Redemption Island, and the two people will face off in a duel challenge. The winner remains in the game, living at Redemption Island, while the loser is finally removed from the game. At pre-determined points in the game, the person at Redemption Island will have a chance to return to the game and be reunited with the remaining players in the game.
There is also a rule change. If a player quits during the jury phase, the producers reserve the right to not allow that player to serve on the jury.
Here is a video from last season's finale where Jeff Probst explains the twist.
This season takes place in the same location as last season: in the vicinity of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
Ten of the eighteen players are from Southern California.
Ometepe Tribe: Andrea, Ashley, Francesca, Grant, Kristina, Matt, Natalie, Phillip, Rob
Zapatera Tribe: David, Julie, Krista, Mike, Ralph, Russell, Sarita, Stephanie, Steve
