The Island of the Dead ended at the merge, at which point Exile Island from the second season, where two players were banished for 24 hours and competed against each other for rewards, was introduced. With only 16 competitors, 32 days and 24 episodes, this was the shortest season of the Israeli production of Survivor to date.

Summary
Episodes 1-2
- Reward Challenge: The tribes had to rush into a river filled with supplies for their camps. Once teams collected the necessary supplies, they had to cross the finish line with all of their chosen supplies.
- Reward: The winning tribe got a boat ride to carry them and all of their belongings to their new beach home.
- Immunity Challenge: Tribes had to climb over four slanted walls, then tie ropes to a large crate, which other members had to pull up a slide. Once the box was on top of the slide, another member opened the crate and lit the torch inside it.
- Individual Immunity Challenge: Tribes had to light a fire, which would burn through a rope. The first survivor to have their rope burnt would win immunity.
Summary
The eight new contestants arrived at the beach as the host told them that they would be competing against familiar faces. Then, the eight all-stars were introduced. The tribes moved immediately to their first challenge. The tribes played violently, and both tribes tried to stop the other tribes' weakest member from moving. Kalinga thought that they had won, and they started to celebrate, only to notice that one member from each tribe was missing. After both of the last members ran towards the finish line, Mayon was declared the winner. The Kalinga tribe then had to vote out one person and they voted unanimously for Ariela. In a Tocantins-inspired twist, Ariela got a private helicopter ride to the beach, along with a clue to look for the hidden immunity idol. Max got dehydrated, and was evacuated during the first night and therefore did not participate in the immunity challenge. Ariela could not get to the immunity idol, so she asked Guy to join in an alliance with her and get it for her. At the immunity challenge, the Mayon tribe sat out Idan, thinking that he was their weakest male. The Mayon tribe won the challenge and won flint in addition to being safe from the vote. Itay won the immunity challenge after a close finish. The Kalinga tribe went to Tribal Council and voted out Ariela by a 6-2 vote. Dar got two votes.
Episode 3-4
- Reward Challenge: Few members from each tribe at a time tried to get a ball and shoot it into a basket. While in the ocean, once a basket was made, the tribes switched members. The first tribe to get 3 baskets won.
- Reward: Tribes got a fishing kit, along with a day with a local who would teach them tricks which would help them with life in the forest.
- Immunity Challenge: A challenge recently used in Heroes vs. Villains, one tribe member was inside a large wooden ball and three members would be blindfolded. The person in the crate had to direct the three blindfolded tribe mates through a path, collecting a metal ball along the way. Then, the metal ball was placed on a tilting maze. The person in the ball would had to direct four more blindfolded people to get the ball into the hole in the tilting maze.
- Individual Immunity Challenge: The survivors stood on a wooden pole in the ocean while two members of the other tribe tried to hit them down with sand bags. The last person on the wooden pole would win immunity.
Summary
The Kalinga tribe questioned Guy about his immunity idol after Ariela revealed it at the last Tribal Council. He lied and said that he didn't have it. Everyone but Sharon, who understood that he had it, believed him. She tried to make every one else see that too. Osher was evacuated due to back pains and was not there for the reward challenge, but returned after the challenge. The All-Star tribe won the reward challenge 3-0. Dan accused Maayan of not working at all in the tribe, who refuted, claiming that she worked just as hard. They learned a lot from their native and gave him a present in return. The All Star tribe also won the Immunity challenge and celebrated. The Mayon tribe got tree mail, stating that they had to choose two people to go to a challenge. The survivors were scared that whoever left wouldn't return. After much arguing, Mirit and Bashevkin went. Maayan was especially scared that Mirit wouldn't return. The two Mayon tribe members after the challenge, which Lidar won, returned to their beach by boat and decided to trick everyone. Mirit hid in the boat and Bashevkin stood. After a short while, Mirit showed herself to the tribe. The Kalinga tribe went to Tribal Council. Guy used his immunity idol and Osher was voted out.

In a Samoa-inspired twist, the winning tribe who won the immunity had to send one member to go to the Kalinga tribe to vote at Tribal Council.
