Characteristics

The fourth season of the show featured Leaders' battle and The Necklace of Tribal Predominance. In the original tribes each episode all the tribes must choose The Leader of the Tribe. Then, the leaders face each other in a challenge and the winner takes a reward (mostly food) and an Immunity Necklace for the next Tribal Council. After the Union, The Immunity challenge was replaced by a challenge for The Necklace of Tribal Predominance. The winner, as well as having immunity for the next council, have to choose four members of the tribe and give then The Black Vote Necklaces. After that, the tribe votes only for those four members and the one received the majority of the votes is eliminated. Also, this season featured The Exile Island. In this version of the show, this player sent on that island don't take part in the Tribal Council and cannot be eliminated. There is a battle each episode, in which two survivors take part: the one who is on the island at the moment and the one sent there by the winner of the reward challenge. The winner has the choice: to stay on the island and take provisions for several days or to go back to the main tribe.
