Can anyone tell me how Survivor works once the merge happens?

What happens then? How are challenges done? Are they now individual? Do they still offer immunity?

And is tribal council just one giant council now?

As a side note, I'm friends with Ken Hoang, we both play the same game for tournaments . Too bad he cant tell people how he did, haha.

Everything is individual then. Challenges and immunity is per person, not per tribe. There is one big Tribal and one person is always voted out. It's not that big, actually, as people are voted out, there aren't that many left, usually. They don't know when the merge will happen.

Somewhere around 9 or 10 from the end, those people become members of the Jury who will decide between the final two which one gets the million in the very end.

The game is to not backstab and anger people so much that they don't give you the million, but to stay in the game without getting yourself backstabbed.

So, the preview indicates the merge is happening next week, right? Someone told me the two tribes are being regrouped again.. Is that true? Or is the merge happening on the next episode? Cause each tribe has to kick a member regardless, so is their even an immunity challenge next ep?

EDIT: So how does the finale go then? Do they even compete? Or do they just chill in Gabon then get taken to camp, then the Jury decides who gets the million? Or do they have one last faceoff.
