Other twists unique to season 48 include:

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.

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 updates were made that should help with the Shot in the Dark and Hidden Immunity Idol logic on the smaller New Era tribes. There is now the option not to take the Beware Advantage, and a rare event can occur involving the transferring of the Shot in the Dark.

Survivor 44 does not have Beware Advantages. Instead idols are locked in a tribe birdcage and can be obtained by finding the key. There are new events for this, fake idols, the debut of the Inheritance and Bank Your Vote advantages, and a journey with idols and a tribe swap.

Survivor 43 contains similar New Era elements with 41 and 42 such as Beware Advantages, Shot in the Dark, and Journeys, but the Hourglass and Do or Die twists are no more. You'll notice other slight format and twist differences, and there's a new Choose Your Champion advantage.

Survivor 42 shares the same format as Survivor 41 including the Beware Advantages, Shot in the Dark, and many of the same twists such as the Hourglass and Do or Die. There are some additional stipulations that differ between 41 and 42, and 42 introduces the Amulet Advantage.
