Production
After an hiatus of nine years, No Limite had returned to the location where the first season of the reality has been recorded in 2000. Nineteen contestants were chosen by the producers to participate the show between July to September 2009. The last original contestant were chose by the public vote, in a competition between two male contestants aired on July 26, 2009. The episodes were shown twice a week: on Sundays and Thursdays. The tribal councils were shown live in every episode.

Twists

 * Exílio: Based on Exile Island, one castaway from each tribe are banished for Exílio for the time period between the immunity challenge and the Tribal Council.
 * Hidden Immunity Idol: While on Exílio, each exiled castaway picked from one of two urns. One urn contained a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, while the other urn contained nothing.
 * Desafio do Portal: For the first time, contestants were eliminated by public vote. On each "cycle" of the show, two members of the losing tribe faced each other in the "Desafio do Portal" ("Portal's Challenge", in english) (one member chosen by other team members and the other member chosen by the current team leader), then the public would vote on the contestant they wanted out. Fifth episode onwards, this method was dropped, returning the show to its original format.
 * Late Castaways: During the show, three new contestants entered on the game, replacing two female players who withdrew from the competition and one male player, who broke the rules and was expelled from the show.
