Twists

 * Pre-Divided Tribes - The 24 contestants were pre-divided into 2 tribes of 12 before the game began.
 * Separate Hemispheres - The Jakar tribe's camp will be based on the south side of the Equator, while the Bhudu tribe's camp will be based on the northern side.
 * Non-Elimination Episodes - At pre-determined points in the game Castaways will vote at Tribal Council for something other than the elimination of a tribemate.
 * Super Idol - There is one Hidden Immunity Idol in play, it is well hidden and not known to the Castaways prior to the game beginning. It can negate votes after they have been read, but may only be used once.

Season Summary
The game began with twenty-four average Australians separated into two tribes on twelve were dropped into the Ituri Rainforest in the heart of the Congo. The tribes proceeded to walk seven kilometres to camp, the Bhudu tribe began the walk slower while and took the time to get to know one another, while Jakar pushed hard to camp, causing several members of the tribe to get sick.

Despite their illness, Jakar managed to win the first immunity challenge and the Bhudu tribe were forced to target one of their own - Rebecca DuBois was eliminated after failing to agree to the plan proposed by her alliance.

Jakar lost their rice on Day 04, this would hamper them through the early parts of the game. Despite being offered an opportunity to pass immunity to Bhudu in exchange for rice Jakar sent Bhudu to Tribal Council where Shannon Reed became the second person eliminated from the game.

The Game
1 - Combined Reward and Immunity Challenge.

2 - Jakar forfeited the challenge in exchange for rice, it counts as a Bhudu victory.
