Production

Development

Like previous seasons, this fourth season is produced by Acun Media Global. The season was first announced on September 29, 2022. A press release for the show's renewal confirmed that Daniel Pavel would return as a host. Casting began also on September 29, 2022.[4] Online applications opened upon the start of casting and closed in November 2022. On December 23, 2022, it was announced that the season would premiere on January 9, 2023.

Wildcard

The first member of Războinicii tribe was chosen by a public vote. On 10 October, it was announced that the public would decide the first castaway of the series and the vote was opened for the viewers to choose between four women and four men. The casting was open from 24 October to 1 December.[5]

Mentors

In week 12, right before the merge, former Survivor winners Edmond Zannidache and Alex Delea alongside Elena Chiriac and Oana Ciocan returned as mentors to the castaways. Neither mentor was in contention to win prize.[6]

Contestants

Andreea Moromete was chosen by fans. The Faimoșii tribe was announced by Pro TV on December 15, 2022. Notable cast included kickboxing champion, Ionuț Iftimoaie, former elite gymnast Ștefania Stănilă and Silicon Valley's youngest self-made millionaire, Sebastian Dobrincu.[7] The Războinicii tribe was announced by Pro TV on January 2, 2023.[8]

Six contestants were added later in the game in both tribes. On Week 12, the thirteen remaining players merged into one tribe, named Taíno, the name of the Amerindians who were the first inhabitants of the Dominican Republic.

Controversies

In Week 2, two contestants from the Războinici tribe competed against each other, even though the blue team held the Immunity Totem, which provided protection for all members of the tribe. Daria Chiper lost the challenge and was eliminated. This was an absolute premiere in the Roamanian version of the show, as it marked the first time a contestant was eliminated from the game without a public vote. The change in format surprised everyone and disappointed the show's fans, who accused the producers of behind-the-scenes manipulation. A significant portion of viewers felt that the elimination was unfair because it violated the fundamental principle established in the first three seasons of Survivor România, namely that only the public, through voting, decide who stays and who leaves.[9]
