The contestants are divided into four tribes of four in the first episode: older men, older women, younger men and younger women. Then there's the big wrinkle that gives this season its name: during each episode, at least one player is banished to ``Exile Island,'' a mini-Elba miles away from the team camps. In addition to being removed from the group dynamics of the game, exiles have to fend for themselves while on the island. There is, however, a hidden immunity idol that they can use at a future tribal council.
