Some rules are put in place for safety reasons. For example, the CBS cast must sign a lengthy contract ahead of time, which includes an agreement to be filmed at all hours of the day and ⁘have no expectations of privacy.⁘ They also must all disclose their complete medical histories.
The rules continue after being voted off the island too. Those who don't make the jury aren't sent home. Instead, they're required to stay with production in a different location — for free! — until the season is done being filmed.
Of course, there are times when the rules get broken. In 2016, the cast of season 33, Millennials v Gen X , had to leave camp due to a cyclone. This marked the first time that the entire cast was evacuated and that the competitors were able to sleep inside — but they still weren't comfortable.
Although alliances are a big part of the game, don't get too close! Agreeing to share any portion of the million-dollar prize is also not allowed and can result in punishment. Plus, contracts and NDAs play into the show even after filming wraps.
Everything must be kept secret before the season airs. Season 37's Alec Merlino shared a photo of himself and contestant Kara Key before David vs. Goliath premiered in 2018 and wasn't allowed to attend the reunion show — which also garners a $10,000 paycheck .
