Season summary

The season started with twenty contestants. They were divided into two tribes based on celebrity status: "Faimoșii" (meaning celebrities) tribe composed of 10 people who have received accolades and fame for their exceptional work in their given fields, and "Războinicii" (meaning warriors) tribe composed of 10 non-celebrities. Later in the game, nine new contestants entered in the game, five of them joined Faimoșii tribe and four of them joined Rărzboincii tribe.

In the first phase of the game, only one Immunity Challenge are performed. After the Tribal Immunity Challenges, members of the losing tribe fight each other for an Immunity Necklace, the two winners (one male and one female) gains individual immunity and the power to nominate a member of their tribe at Tribal Council. Instead of the most voted person on the Tribal Council having to leave the competition, the losing tribe(s) votes to nominate one its members. Then the winner(s) of the Individual Immunity selects the last nominee from the tribe. Finally, the nominees face the public vote in which the loser will be out of the game.

In the second phase of the game two Immunity Challenges are performed, if a tribe wins both challenges, the losing tribe must attend the Tribal Council and two of its members will be nominated, but if each tribe wins a challenge, then both tribes will have one nominees. Also, Individual Immunity Challenge are no more. With only 13 players left in the game, the tribes merged, but despite living on the same beach, tribes would remain split, living in separate shelters and fending for their own tribe. The individual phase of the game occurred with 8 players left. In the first two weeks of individual phase, individual immunity is it composed of three challenges. The players who wins one af the first two challenges qualified in the last challenge, who wins it, earn immunity and a second vote to cast at Council. If one player win the first two challenges, he/she was already immune and compete in the last one to earn a second vote.

The celebrities tribe, Faimoșii had a bed start losing most of the challenges and the tribe was divided by a major conflict between the outsider Elena and Grațiela/Ghiță witch led to Elena's nomination seven times despite her good performance in challenges. Mihai and Cezar were named leaders by their tribmates and tried unsuccessfully to settle the conflicts. The non-celebrities tribe, Războinicii dominated in challenges in the first part of the game and called themselves "Family". Despite a strong start, the non-celebrities tribe found difficulty with Claudia who refused to integrate herself into the tribe, and later with the outspoken Andi.

At the merge, two factions emerged: The Războinicii Alliance, led by Andrei and his closest ally and romantic interest Karina, and the Faimoșii Guys Alliance, headed by Cezar and Mihai. However, after Andrei failed to convinced the girls of the Faimoșii tribe to ally against the big guys - Cezar and Mihai -, Ghiță, on the bottom of the Faimoșii alliance, eventually flipped sides, working with Elena and Emy to eliminate Mihai and Asiana. Soon after, a core alliance of Emanuel, Ema and Lola was formed systematically eliminating Andrei and his alliance.

With 4 ex Războinicii and 4 ex Faimoșii the vote at the first Tribal Council at individuals ended in a tie along tribal lines and former Războinicii member, Ema was eliminated by public, putting the remnants of Faimoșii in power. To save himself and his former tribmates, Iancu was able to convince Emy to vote one of their own, Elena, forcing a tie between him, Cezar and Ghiță at second Tribal, resulting in Ghiță's elimination.

The final five were Emanuel, Lola, Iancu, Cezar and Elena. Emanuel and Lola won the eighteen cycle challenge; Iancu won the final immunity challenge leaving Elena to face Cezar in the public votes to determine the fourth finalist, which Elena won. At the final Tribal Council the public ultimaltely rewarded Elena by voting her the Sole Survivor.
