VIP (2020)

This marks the third season to include celebrities, following the 2012 Survivor VIP season and the half-celebrity Survivor: Honduras. With the inclusion of Kasry as the season's sole returning player, this season is the second overall to include former players, after Survivor: Fans vs. Survivors. This was the first season to air on Reshet 13 following the closure of Channel 2, and the third consecutive season to air on Reshet.

This season reintroduced duels, in which two castaways were sent to a secluded location immediately following the immunity challenge to compete for a reward, as last seen in the fifth season. Before the merge, one castaway from each tribe was sent to compete; if the representative from the tribe that won the immunity challenge won the duel, they would cast a vote for the losing tribe's upcoming Tribal Council on behalf of their tribe, which was publicly revealed at the start of the losing tribe's individual immunity challenge. After the merge, the immunity challenge winner chose the two duelists. The winner spun a wheel to earn one of three prizes, while the loser received a corresponding punishment.

  1. ^ a b At the Negotiation Cabin, Einat and Lihi were offered a secret advantage in exchange for eliminating one of their tribemates, who would then be replaced by Naama. Lihi took the offer and eliminated Rotem, and Naama returned to the game.

  3. ^ a b At the Negotiation Cabin, Assaf and Mishel chose one tribemate to not participate in the upcoming immunity challenge; Assaf chose himself and Mishel chose Simcha. Assaf and Simcha then earned individual immunity as a result.
  4. ^ For accepting the Negotiation Cabin temptation on Day 3, Lihi was given a note stating that if she were voted out unanimously at the joint Tribal Council on Day 19, she would return to the game with "tremendous power"; these conditions were met, and Lihi returned to the game the following day.

  7. ^ The challenge was competed by teams of three; the winners collectively assigned the veto bracelet at that night's Tribal Council.
  8. ^ On Day 3, all the players drew rocks at random, to be broken upon being voted out; if the rock contained the golden fossil, the vote would be nullified and the player would immediately return to the game.
