• Day 1: Sixteen contestants entered the game. Eight of them were already paired in four duos with their significant other or family member, while the other eight were singles. Antonio and Ilona were given the chance to pick one contestant each among the other six singles to form a duo with: Antonio chose Floriana while Ilona chose Marco M. Later, through a lottery mechanism, Jovana also had the chance to pick her duo partner among the three remaining singles, choosing Roger. The final two duos that were formed had to face off in a nomination, where only the most saved duo by the public would join the game, while the other duo would seemingly be eliminated. Estefanía and Nicolas won, so they joined the other six duos and were immune from the following nominations. Jovana and Roger then found out they were not actually eliminated, but that they would go to Playa Sgamada, a second beach where the duos were disbanded and all the contestants would play by themselves to try to get back in the main game.
• Day 4: Three new single contestants joined the game: Blind, Patrizia and Roberta. Two of them had to form a duo which would join the main game, while the other would go directly to Playa Sgamada. The first member of the duo would be picked by the public through a nomination, while the second member would be decided through the Fire Challenge. Blind won the public vote, while Roberta won the Fire Challenge, therefore Patrizia had to go to Playa Sgamada. Ilona was voted as the Boss of Playa Sgamada, therefore she was able to pick another contestant to go form a new duo and rejoin the main game with, she chose Roger.
• Day 8: Patrizia was revealed to have suffered burns from the Fire Challenge held on Day 4. After receiving medical care, Patrizia decided to walk out of the game for additional treatments, officially leaving the competition. Marco Me. was voted as the Boss of Playa Sgamada, therefore he was exempt from the first elimination which would happen on Day 11.
• Day 11: On Playa Sgamada, Antonio, Floriana and Jovana competed in a challenge: Jovana won, therefore Antonio and Floriana were nominated to become the first contestant officially eliminated. Later, Clemente was voted as the Boss of Playa Sgamada, therefore he could choose whether he, his wife or neither would go back into the main game, with the other (or both) having to face the public vote: he chose himself. Floriana, Jovana and Marco M. then competed in a challenge in order to determine who would become Clemente's new partner: Floriana won.
• Day 15: Upon stepping foot on the beach, Silvano used swear words and was accused of blasphemy on social media. After reviewing the footage and discussing the incident, production decided to remove him from the competition, as he had broken the rules of the game regarding the use of certain words. After Silvano's ejection, Nick had to form a new duo with a contestant from Playa Sgamada. Blind was voted as the Boss of Playa Sgamada, therefore he could choose whether he would become Nick's partner and go back into the main game or if someone else would get that chance. He chose the first, forming a new duo with Nick.
• Day 18: There was a duo switch: due to Estefanía and Roger's romantic connection, they were given the chance compete in a challenge and form a new duo. They succeeded, therefore their duo partners Ilona and Nicolas were paired up as well. Additionally, since Lory & Marco C.'s had voted for Ilona & Roger through the Judas' Kiss mechanism, their vote became null as the duo no longer existed. Laura was voted as the Boss of Playa Sgamada, therefore she was able to rejoin the main game, together with Jovana, who won a re-entry public vote.
• Day 22: The game entered a new phase where duos were disbanded and all the contestants would be divided in two teams. However, it was announced that one duo would remain joint: the duo members were given the choice to either try to stay together by winning a challenge, risking a self-vote in case of loss, or not compete in a challenge and be immediately separated. The duos of Alessandro & Carmen, Edoardo & Guendalina, Estefanía & Roger and Gustavo & Jeremias competed, with Estefanía & Roger winning and continuing their journeys as a 2-in-1 contestant. Later, one member of each duo would join one of two teams: the teams competed in an immunity challenge, and the members of the losing duos from the previous challenge were given a self-vote in case they were on the losing team. Two new contestants joined the game, Licia and Marco S., and they each joined one of two teams after nominations had been made.
• Day 64: The contestants that had joined the game before the season was extended were given the choice to either continue their journeys on the Island or walk out of the game. Four contestants decided to walk out of the game: Alessandro due to having to study for exams, Guendalina due to family reasons, Licia and Blind due to work commitments.
