The selection of the reserve cast is made before the qualifying day, but in terms of the rules it is the same as the final round stage. In the last two reserve selections, the second stage, the creativity stage, is removed. Instead, the person who cooks the food requested by the chefs best is included in the main cast.
In addition, the 'loop round, in which the eliminated contestants are brought back, was introduced this season. Two of the contestants eliminated before they reach the last ten in this round have a chance to be reintegrated into the main cast, thus reshaping the second turning point, the last twelve.

Season 7 All Star (2023)
System in Season 7
Although the elimination system runs parallel to the 5th and 6th seasons, it differs from its predecessors by including runner-ups and champions from the reserves in the competition.
Contestants who cannot become finalists are categorized according to the seasons they are in and divided into 4 batches and competed each other to enter 5 person-quota each:
•1'st Batch: Season 2 (2018) and Season 3 (2019)
This batch is consisted of only 12. Due to their small number, they selected only 3 people for the reserve candidates, apart from those who entered the 5-person main squad quota.
•2'nd Batch: Season 4 (2020)
This batch is consisted of 14. Just like in the first batch, only 3 reserve candidates were selected from this group. It also differs from other seasons in that this season's champion is not included in the squad.
•3'rd Batch: Season 5 (2021)
This batch is consisted of 20. It differs from other seasons in that everyone in this season participates in the preliminary round.
Since they are more numerous, they increased the number of reserve candidates to 4.
•4'th Batch: Season 6 (2022)
This batch is consisted of 17. Since it is the most current season before the All Star season, they increased the number of reserve candidates to 5.
They start the competition by selecting only 2 people from the reserve candidates along with the 20 people selected for the main squad. The runner-ups of their current season are included in the squad week by week, immediately after the two selected reserve contestants.
After all runner ups arrive and the number of remaining contestants is reduced to 16, 4 champions are added to the squad at the same time, thus completing the squad.
Captains duel has been added when remaining contestant count is reduced into 16.
Unlike previous seasons, since the Survivor 2024 All Star season was postponed 1 month early, individual games were started when there were 7 contestants instead of 5.
Weekly System in Season 7
In this season, the 3 team game-6 elimination candidate system, which was implemented in the last 3 seasons, continues as it is. However, the captain duel system and masterclass sections have been completely removed. Instead, the award game, which was played in the 6th season and counted as the 4th team game, and an individual game in which the 7th elimination candidate was determined were added.
When there were 11 contestants remaining, they reduced the number of elimination candidates to 4, and the number of elimination candidates per team game was reduced to 1. The elimination was evaluated based on the points the contestants received from both creativity and chef plates.
When there were only 7 contestants left, the competition turned completely individual. A 5-day voting game was played for the chef jacket to be given to one person each day. While the chef with the highest score won the jacket, the 2 contestants who could not get the chef jacket at the end of 5 days were eliminated.
The 5 contestants who managed to get the chef's jacket were asked to prepare an entree, a main course and a dessert of a certain concept every day, and the contestant with the lowest score at the end of the day was eliminated.
On the final day, a little different from the previous final games, they were first asked to prepare a menu with a Turkish Cuisine concept, then a menu with an International Cuisine concept, and finally, the contestants were asked to make a signature plate in the game where the champion was determined live. The contestant with the highest total score on the final day became the champion.
