Season chronology

The contestants for this season were split up into two tribes of nine known as the River and Sand tribes. Throughout their time in South Africa the contestants lived near a Zulu village and interacted with the natives of the village on several occasions. As a twist, on several occasions the natives were allowed to award immunity to the contestant of their choice. On the eighth day, a tribal swap occurred in which Sand tribe member Vitaly Ratnikov and River tribe member Rada "Lesha" Razborkis switched tribes. Following the merge, three of the previously voted contestants returned to the competition (Olga Shakira in episode 9 and Alexey Kuzkin and Rada "Lesha" Razborkis in episode 13). When it came time for the final six, the contestants competed in an immunity challenge, followed by a final tribal council. The final five then took part in a school yard pick to determine who would be the final four. The final four were then forced to compete in two challenges in order to determine who would be the finalists. Ultimately, it was Alexander “Conan” Alexeev who won this season over Elena “Lena” Pinchuk by a jury vote of 8–2.
