  •  The season will be comprised of 39-and-a-half days, kicking off with "Day Zero," where 10 pairs of loved ones will be sent out to different locations at sunset. "The whole idea was to try and get them thinking and maybe believing that they would play as a pair," Probst explained.
  •  The loved ones will then be split into two tribes, with returning players on Galang and their heretofore believed-to-be partner on Tadhana.
  •  Redemption Island will return after three seasons, this time revolving around a three-person contest in which the last-place finisher is sent home.
  •  Contestants will be permitted to swap places with their loved ones in these duels.
