In the event of a tie at Tribal Councils, contestants competed in a duel in order to determine who would be eliminated.
Additionally, when a player was forced out of the game due to sickness, he/she couldn't be a member of jury.
After Skai TV picked up the production rights in a collaboration with producer Acun Ilıcalı, the format of the game completely changed.
Challenges pitted people in 1v1 (or sometimes 2v2 or 3v3) situations, with the winner gifting their team a point.
The tribe who lost Immunity Challenge had to select two or three players to be in the Elimination Vote.
This change required the game to be broadcast with minimal delay (usually 2 days) in order for the fans to vote in time.
