Sure thing, Merlin! 18/20 Castaways are put on an island to fend for themselves. They are given meager supplies like a Machete, pot, and sometimes rice. Other than that, they are on their own. The contestants are split into either two or three tribes. While on the island, they will compete in two types of challenges: Reward and Immunity Challenges. In reward challenges, the tribes will compete to win different items for their tribe. The items start out as basic essential ones like flint, but often eventually become more luxurious like blankets and pillows. In immunity challenges, the tribes compete in order to avoid having to go to tribal council. When a tribe goes to tribal council, they have to vote off a member of their tribe. At around the halfway point of the game, there is what's called the merge. At the merge, the tribes combine into one tribe and the game becomes individual. The immunity and reward challenges continue, but this time the contestants are competing for themselves. At a certain point, contestants who are voted off don't go home, but instead become members of the jury, a body of about 8-10 contestants who will vote for the winner at the end. The jurors will have to decide between either a final 2 or a final 3 for who will be the sole survivor.
