In episode 7, the tribes were changed to "Men vs. Women" tribes. The women got back to Sabana's camp, and got the red color. The men got back to Gibaro's camp, and got the blue color. Although the colors of their tribes was changed, the contestants kept their buffs.
Before the immunity challenge, the host announced one of the Men's tribe members will move to the Women's tribe, to even things out. That person was chosen by number of double-power challenges won, and as Dan won 2 challenges, he was moved to the Women's tribe.
Episode 7's tribal council was a double-elimination tribal council. One member of each old tribe (Sabana & Gibaro) was voted out. After the tribal council, the tribes changed back to Sabana and Gibaro.
For the episode 12 double-power challenge, the contestants were divided to four pairs. The winning pair, Dan and Marina, competed within themselves for the win. Dan won the double-power challenge, but both him and Marina won a phone call home.
Episodes 12, 14 and 15's double power challenge winner could vote twice in tribal council for the same contestant, and not for two contestants.
Noam won Immunity but gave it to Na'ama during Tribal Council.
This contestant was prohibited from voting by the Double-Power challenge winner.
For the final tribal council, the jury voted along with Dan and Neama to eliminate either Marina or Noam. Because Marina and Noam were the only two that could be voted against, they didn't vote as they could only vote for each other.
