Production
Development and filming
Since August 2023 several rumours of an "All Stars" series being in development had been reported in various news outlets.

Elimination duels
This season introduced "Elimination duels" to the Romanian version of Survivor, based in part on concepts already used in foreign versions of the show, including Mexico, Czech Republic & Slovakia and Croatia & Serbia. Instead of being out of the game by public vote, the nominees of the cycle face a challenge in which the loser is eliminated. The public will votes only in the Grand Final for the most deserving of the title of Sole Survivor.[12][13]
