- CONFESSIONALS. Although they are not required, confessionals will still let me know who deserves to be invited back for a future season. If you don't send enough confessionals, and/or are inactive in challenges and tribal, you will not be invited back.

- Rivals Format: Each of you have been paired with a former rival, but this is an individual game. There will only be one winner. It is up to you to what extent your rival will affect your game.

Idol-  One idol is in play this season. Where the idol is hidden is completely random, but you will be able to work with your tribemates to find it. If your rival is voted out, you will receive an extra clue to the hidden immunity idol. More on that later.

- If you do not vote at tribal, you will receive a self vote. If you receive two self votes in a row you will be medically evacuated, and you will lose your spot on the jury. No excuses.

- If there is a tie in a vote, there will be a revote. If it is still a tie, purple rocks will be drawn. The people involved in the original tie and whoever has immunity will not draw.

- If there is a tie at the F4, there will be a revote. If there is still a tie there will be a tiebreaker firemaking challenge.

- The game will have a Final 2, with a jury of 7. That means the first person voted out will not be a part of the jury.
