One of the new twists on the upcoming Survivor: Cagayan will be an idea inspired by filmmaker Tyler Perry.

Survivor host Jeff Probst recently spoke in an interview about a new hidden immunity idol being featured in the upcoming season. The new idol would allow the owner to play it after the votes at Tribal Council have been counted.

"There will be another idol," Probst said. "It is a true get-out-of-jail free card."

The idea was inspired by Perry, who Probst said texted him about it. This special idol was in play during season 13, Survivor: Cook Islands, in which the eventual winner Yul Kwon carried the idol to the end of the game.

Probst said that the idol will have "massive power" and could switch the game around drastically.

Survivor: Cagayan features three tribes of six players, with each of the tribes having a unique skill set: brawn, brains or beauty. Probst explained that the three tribes will come into the game in very different ways.

The brawn tribe comes in on a "beat-up truck" while the beauty tribe are on a boat and the brains tribe flies in on a helicopter. This is designed to add a little more tension between the tribes as they wonder why each of them received different modes of transportation.

Probst also said in the interview that there would be no Redemption Island this season, a twist that has been divisive with fans.

Survivor: Cagayan premieres Wednesday at 8 p.m. on CBS.
