Twists/Changes

 * Celebs vs. Plebs: The cast of the season was comprised of nine well known South African celebrities and ten regular outh African citiziens.
 * Separated Marooning: The groups of celebrities and plebs were marooned whithout knowing of the existence of each other. They would be reunited on day 4.
 * Schoolyard Pick: The two groups were divided by schoolyard pick, forming four other groups (two blue and two yellow). The celebrity not chosen by any of the two groups of celebs, would receive a black buff, and would join one tribe after the first Tribal Council.
 * First Impressions: At he reunion of the groups, they would vote for the person they think is the most unlikely to win.
 * Black Cowrie Shell: The two people voted at the First Impressions twist would receive a Black Cowrie shell bracelet. The person holding the Black Cowrie at tribal council would automatically have one vote against them. The only way that they could prevent that from happening would be at the beginning of an Immunity challenge, when they would be offered an opportunity to defect to the opposing tribe. If the person with the Black Cowrie was voted off, they would selected one of the remaining castaways to receive the Cowrie.
 * White Cowrie Shell: The White Cowrie Shell would come into play after the merge. The current holder of the White Cowrie Shell can choose to negate a vote cast to someone else in the tribe, and transfers it to person they selected. They cannot negate a vote cast against themselves. The person with the vote negated by the White Cowrie Shell would be the next holder.
