^Note 1 : In a twist that simulated the marine food chain, the explorer most voted as the Shark (Claudinho) received a R$15.000 prize, while the explorer most voted as the Seaweed was automatically exiled (Mirella).
^Note 2 : The Winning Commander's nomination (Negão da BL), alongside the two explorers who received the most votes from the Villa (Claudinho and Thomaz), faced a surprise exiled vote. Claudinho was exiled by a 5–2–0 vote, over Thomaz and Negão da BL, respectively, who in turn went to compete in the Arena duel.
^Note 3 : The explorers living in the Exile had the power to vote an explorer from the Villa into the Arena. They voted Thomaz, who, as Winning Commander, nominated Any. Nanah received the most votes from the Villa and joined both of them in the Arena duel.
^Note 4 : The Arena duel was done in pairs: Any & Mirella, Claudinho & Lucas, Dinei & Thomaz and Nanah & Negão da BL. Any & Mirella won the duel, with Mirella returning to the Villa as well and both becoming the new Commanders in Cycle 5. The pair also had to choose an explorer to return to the game. They chose Dinei.
^Note 5 : The explorers living in Exile had to choose one power to be used during this cycle's nominations between two options: In the first option, the Winning Commander's nominee will have the power to give immunity to another explorer, while in the second option, the explorer who received the most votes from the Villa will be able to nullify the vote of two other explorers. The second option was chosen.
^Note 6 : Pyong received the most votes from the Villa with 5. As result, he won the power to nullify the vote of two other explorers. He chose Dinei and Mirella's votes, bringing his vote total down to 3, tying him with Any. Mirella, as Winning Commander, had the casting vote and nominated Pyong into the Arena duel.
^Note 7 : The explorers living in the Exile had to chose an explorer from the Villa to cast vote twice during this cycle's final nominations. They chose Valesca, who decided to cast both of her votes on Pyong.
^Note 8 : Mirella and Pyong received the most votes from the Villa with 3 each. Pyong, as Winning Commander, had the casting vote and nominated Mirella into the Arena duel.
^Note 9 : The explorers living in the Exile had to chose an explorer from the Villa (except Pyong and Laura who were immune as the two with the most maps) to be exiled. Nadja was exiled by a 5–2–0–0 vote, over Dinei, Any and Valesca, respectively.
^Note 10 : The final five explorers competed in an endurance challenge for a place in the Finale. The three final challenge losers would be automatically exiled. Dinei, Valesca and Laura lost the challenge and were automatically exiled, meaning Any and Pyong became the season's finalists.
^Note 11 : For their final treasure hunt at the Island, Any and Pyong were both given a support crew of previously exiled explorers. Any, as Emerald's Commander, chose Claudinho and Nanah, while Pyong, as Ruby's Commander, chose Antonella and Thomaz.
^Note 12 : For the final, the public votes to determine the values of the gems collected by the finalists between boxes A, B and C. Box B was the most voted, so the blue stone was worth 3 points; then Box A, with the yellow stone, was worth 2 points; and finally, Box C, with the pink stone, was worth 1 point. In the end, Any got 567 points against Pyong's 483, winning the competition.
