Survivor 48 is the forty-eighth season of the CBS competitive reality television series Survivor.

Production

Like the three seasons before it, Survivor 48 had a 90-minute runtime. The season's art direction took inspiration from the fictional Izadega civilization, which was imagined by production designer Zac Jensen. The fictional culture most notably showed in the Tribal Council setpieces, which was built to look like it would have "thousands of years ago" and then artificially aged to reflect what the culture's history might have been.[3]

Twists/Changes

  • 26-Day Game
  • Tribe Division: The 18 castaways were divided into 3 tribes of 6. No unifying theme was used in dividing the tribes.
  • Penalties for Losing Immunity Challenges
  • Shot in the Dark
  • Hidden Immunity Idol
  • Journeys
  • Simplified Final Four Tribal Council
  • Reformatted Final Tribal Council: Instead of having each jury member speak individually, an open forum was held to ensure a more insightful rapport between the jury and finalists.
