Advantages chosen from various New Era seasons of the past to thematically fill in the unknowns from the show. Challenge Advantages are also hidden in the jungle at the Merge and the Final Five.

There is an Episode 8 Split Tribal Council variation where someone from the winning group can vote with the losing group or earn an Extra Vote.

Survivor 49 features three unique journeys with opportunities for the chosen representatives to work both with and against one another.

Like Survivor 46, the Beware Advantages requires a loss in the Immunity Challenge or the Merge to find the Hidden Immunity Idol.

Survivor 49 shakes up the New Era format, offering the first New Era season to feature multiple tribe swaps, including one featuring two tribes. Survivor 49 is also the first New Era season without the Earn the Merge twist.

The accent page has been updated to allow a secondary color along with adjusting the main color on the same page. This is now active for all seasons.

The castaway kicked out of the merge auction will have a chance at finding a Steal-An-Idol advantage. Or if they're generous enough to share their cookies with their other tribe members, anyone can get it.

The episode 4 twist involves both tribes going to Tribal Council where two players will compete in a fire-making competition to determine which tribe will vote out one of their own.

Australia v The World contains a mystery box that operates similarly to the birdcage found in Survivor 44.

Other twists unique to season 48 include: – An opportunity for someone to sneak away from camp in the night and win an Extra Vote, Safety Without Power, or a Hidden Immunity Idol. – Challenge advantages hidden around camp in multiple episodes.

This is one of the most advantage-filled seasons, offering the following: - Three journeys that offer Vote Stops, Vote Steals, the Temporary Idol, Extra Votes, Knowledge is Power. – A fourth journey where three of the four representatives will earn back their lost votes.

The split tribal council also works differently with the winning group observing the losing group's tribal council. One player receives the Take Your Pick advantage and can use it as either a Vote Blocker or Safety Without Power.

There's a different take on Earn The Merge with just one overall player receiving individually immunity. Journeys introduce the new Amulet Idols along with Extra Votes, Temporary Idols, a Vote Stopper, and an opportunity for three players to earn back their lost votes.

This season, the Beware Advantage initially offers a tribe idol that can be extended if relinquished. Later on, a tribe member can obtain the idol by destroying a pot filled with red paint that may jeopardize their position in the game.

The detailed auction returns for the second time, but this time adds a note to a hidden advantage, cash prizes, and a food-eating competition.

100

Up for grabs in three unique Journeys are Extra Votes, Vote Steals, Vote Stops, Temporary Hidden Immunity Idols, Safety Without Power, and Knowledge is Power depending on how the luck of the season plays out.

The Beware Advantage directs its finder to a Hidden Immunity Idol locked somewhere in camp. The location of the key to this idol can only be found after the holder's tribe loses an Immunity Challenge.

Other Survivor 45 twists include: – A journey where the representatives will compete to earn back their lost votes – A special journey that can grant individual immunity – A challenge advantage hidden at camp

020

One of the highlights of Survivor 45, which will eventually come to other seasons, is the first full auction.

Survivor 45 also features: – A tribe raid with a Goodwill Advantage that can restore lost votes – A tribe swap with an optional, speculative advantage – A choice between sandwiches or the Amulet Advantages
