Season chronology |
The original concept for the season was to split the players by ethnicity (Ashkenazi vs. people of Sephardic/Mizrahi descent), but was dismissed when rumors drew public criticism.[1] Instead, the season featured a "Haves vs. Have Nots" premise wherein one tribe's camp was furnished with several luxuries, similar to "Survivor: Fiji," the 14th season of the United States' version. The Banao tribe won the furnished camp by winning the opening reward challenge, but both tribes automatically switched camps on Day 6. This twist ended when the tribes were shuffled on Day 12, as both new tribes went to new camps.
