• 2 returning players from season 33: Michaela Bradshaw and Zeke Smith; the rest of the cast knew nothing of Michaela or Zeke because season 33 would not air for 3 months after the filming of season 34.

New Game Twists - NO Revote!

No revote! - This means that if a vote is a tie, they will go immediately to a tie-breaker instead of doing a 2nd round of voting for the names that were written down. The purpose of doing this is to change the "split the votes to flush out an idol" gameplay. This ups the risk, because a tie vote could mean drawing rocks if they can't determine unanimously who should go home.
