In 2023, the [[Creator/TheBBC BBC]] decided to give it another look, and suffered from a similar issue to its older incarnation - a cast which really didn't know how the format worked (some contestants [[GenreBlind not even knowing it was a strategy game]]); poor challenge planning, unintentionally making contestants think that immunity challenges were always going to be physical, and boot out more mentally-skilled ones early; and atrocious scheduling from the BBC itself. It got going after the merge and hooked viewers by the end, but it looks increasingly unlikely that it's getting another series.

* BlatantLies: Ren (La Nena) and Laurence (Caletón) go up to the Outpost and pick between: a big fish for camp; a medium-sized fish with a potential idol hint for the player; and a smaller fish with a better clue. Laurence takes the biggest fish, while Ren goes for the middle one. Sooner rather than later, La Nena realise not all of Ren's story is adding up, and they ask Caletón what really went on at the Outpost; and Ren is gone immediately.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The US article notes it's not a good idea to play a strong physical game, yet the 2023 reboot subverted it, by having a lot of physical challenges near the start and forcing players to think this was how it would continue. It turned out to be a double subversion once more mental challenges came about, and Lee (who played a very physical game) was voted out straight after the merge.
* BatmanGambit: Many attempted this near the end in 2023 by trying to bring Chris into the final, knowing a bitter jury would not let him win. Eventually they brought Leilani to the final as well, knowing the jury wouldn't vote for her either as she was perceived to have done very little. They did, and voted for Matty.
* BeingEvilSucks: Chris was perceived to have played a cut-throat game, which kept him in against the odds but didn't convince the jury.
