Coaches
The former All-Star players have returned to coach three tribes of old and new players. The coaches, each known for either their physical, strategic or social games, have selected the tribes themselves. Their aim is to get a member of their tribe to win the season. If they succeed, they and the season winner both recieve spots in the final season, Best of the Best, on the same tribe. During the season the coaches are able to compete in Immunity Challenges to help their tribe win, and vote at their tribe's Tribal Councils pre-merge. Post-merge they are able to compete in the Individual Immunity Challenges, and assign the Immunity to whoever they wish.

Past Season Twist
The Odd Necklace from Samoa and Africa returned this season. Each day, someone will be in possession of the Odd Necklace. The Odd Necklace guarentees them safety from the next Tribal Council that tribe goes to. The identity of the person with the Odd Necklace will not be revealed until just before the votes are read, so it almost acts like a Hidden Immunity Idol, voiding any votes against that person. Once someone has used the Odd Necklace at Tribal Council, they have two options – either give the Necklace to someone of their choice on one of the other tribes, or keep it for a second Tribal Council and take a consequence for doing so. The consequence may be harmless or severe, and you won’t know what it is until after you decide to keep it. After you have kept it in your possesion for two Tribals in a row, then you must then give it up. You also cannot give the Necklace back to the person who gave it to you. If your tribe wins the next challenge, then you can keep the Necklace in your possesion if you wish too, and it will not count as one of your maximum two Tribals (Remember, you are free to use it at the first Tribal, but you must take a consequence to use it a second time). Even if you win you can still give it up to another tribe if you wish to do so.
