Twists/Differences

 * Outcast Island: At the beginning of the game castaways were informed about the Outcast Island Twist. Outcast Island is where castaways go after they are voted off their tribe. The castaways on Outcast Island will have their own Tribal Councils where they will vote someone off the island. It is not until you are voted off Outcast Island that you are truly out of the game. At random points in the season people may return from Outcast Island.
 * Day 1 Vote: Both tribes sent someone to Outcast Island immediately. This happened one of two ways. They either cast a vote and the person with the most votes will be voted off the tribe and sent to Outcast Island. Or someone volunteered to go to Outcast Island. If someone volunteers in their tribe chat then that tribe’s Tribal Council will be canceled. If someone volunteers they will get a special advantage. If someone is voted out and put on Outcast Island they will not get that advantage.
