Production
This season features twenty castaways, divided into two tribes of ten. Ten members of the cast are returning one-time players of the second generation. The other ten castaways are new to the second generation, who made a strong impression in the first generation of NJ’s Survivor. The tribes this season were Maiao, wearing purple, and Raiatea, wearing yellow. The tribes this season are named after islands in Polynesia. On Day 9, the tribes merged into the Brosses tribe, wearing orange, which is named after Charles de Brosses – the man who first used the term “Polynesia”.
The entire cast were hand-picked by production this season. The returning players were picked for being a strong character who only played once so far in the second generation. The “new” players were chosen for being strong characters in the first generation, but had yet to make their debuts in the second generation. The full cast of 20 and tribal designations were revealed on January 9, 2017.
Twists
- Hidden Immunity Idol: There was one hidden idol placed in each tribe camp, which could be found by correctly guessing the answer to the clues sent daily.
- Generation Gap: This season, ten second generation veterans faced off against ten first generation veterans. Maiao holds the players representing Generation 2, while Raiatea holds the players representing Generation 1.
- Returning Players: Ten former castaways returned this season, chosen because they were a strong character who had yet to return for another season.
- One-Day Tribes: On Day 11, the remaining ten castaways were divided back into two tribes, just for a Double Tribal Council that day, before reverting back to a normal merged tribe.
- Extra Vote: This season featured an extra vote as a prize in the Survivor: Auction challenge. It was won by Sam O.
