Season chronology

As in all seasons since the 2012 VIP season, this season included the Negotiation Cabin, where two contestants, one from each tribe, met to negotiate deals, such as allocating resources or picking contestants to switch tribes. In this season, voted out players became the Cabin Keepers, who would live at the Negotiation Cabin and oversee the deliberations. If the deliberating contestants could not come to a conclusion in the allotted time, the Cabin Keeper would make the decision for them. Additionally, similarly to the zombie twist from Survivor: Honduras, Cabin Keepers would challenge former tribemates to a duel to remain in the game. If the Cabin Keeper lost the duel, they exited the game as normal. If the Cabin Keeper won, they voted in the duel loser's stead at the upcoming Tribal Council, and then duelled the newly voted out castaway for the right to remain the Cabin Keeper. At predetermined points during the game, the remaining Cabin Keepers competed against each other, with the winner returning to the game.

The structure of the post-merge portion of the game was changed for this season. The veto challenge, where players competed for the power to block another player's vote at Tribal Council, was replaced by an additional duel where the Cabin Keeper competed against a remaining player. If the player won the duel, one of their tribemates received a video call from a loved one, but if the Cabin Keeper won two consecutive duels, they would immediately return to the game.

Contestants

The contestants were initially divided into tribes based on the result of a popularity poll; the nine most popular contestants formed the Kapre tribe and the nine least popular contestants formed the Anting Anting tribe.

  1. No vote; Dana chose to quit the game.
  2. No vote; Nava chose to quit the game.
  3. For winning the reward/immunity challenge, the Anting Anting tribe got to vote to give immunity to one member of Kapre; Regev won the vote, therefore the five votes cast against him were not counted.
  4. The initial vote resulted in a tie between Alina and Regev; as such, the tie was resolved by a firemaking competition, which Regev won. Idan played a hidden immunity idol on Yarden, therefore the one vote against her was not counted.
  5. Yarden gave her immunity to Benny, therefore the penalty vote against him was not counted.
  6. At the Negotiation Cabin before the tribes were switched, Asi and Idan chose one member of the other tribe to lose their vote at the next Tribal Council; they chose Lital and Alina, respectively.
  7. At the Negotiation Cabin, Israel and Yarden chose one member of their tribe to vote at the other tribe's Tribal Council in the place of one of that tribe's members, should their tribe win the tribal immunity challenge; they chose Ella and Ido, respectively. Kapre won the challenge and Ella was sent to Anting Anting's Tribal Council, where she chose to take Alina's vote.
  8. For winning the duel, the Cabin Keeper voted at the next Tribal Council in the place of the castaway they defeated.
  9. For winning the reward challenge, Idan got to block another player from voting at the next Tribal Council; he chose Asi.
  10. For losing the duel, this castaway was unable to vote at the next Tribal Council, while the Cabin Keeper voted in their stead.
  11. Ido played an extra vote advantage, allowing him to cast two ballots during a single vote.
  12. The player who came in last place during the immunity challenge automatically received a penalty vote at the next Tribal Council.
