Jeff Probst, meanwhile, has announced a few changes to the game. He told Entertainment Weekly:

  1. Two returning players will join the cast and be announced later in the week.
  2. There will be hidden immunity idols with hidden clues: "Once you find the clue, then you have to find the idol," the host says.
  3. Redemption Island will return, but without the set-up of duel fights. It's one-on-one. Win or go home, contestants.
