The new merged tribe at Tribal Council on 'Survivor 46.'

The Big Picture In the New Era of Survivor, the merge stage of the game has changed. Despite all the remaining castaways dropping their buffs, they are temporarily stuck in "Mergatory," as the fandom and players have lovingly called it. In this Survivor limbo, players must earn their buffs, the merge feast, and safety in the first Tribal Council as a new tribe.

Release Date May 31, 2000 Cast Jeff Probst Main Genre Reality-TV Seasons 46 Studio CBS Creator Charlie Parsons The First Merge Vote on 'Survivor' Has Changed For many Survivor hopefuls, winning the game is the end goal, but making the merge is usually the second bucket list item behind not being voted out first. Making the merge is a huge goalpost moment in the game as it has allowed the players to alter their game. Perhaps in the tribe portion of the game, a player is in the minority.

While it only worked to one player's advantage, Survivor 45 and Survivor 46 watched both targets use the Shot in the Dark advantage in order to save their place. For Kaleb Gebrewold, his advantage play negated all the votes for him, saving him, and causing a re-vote and the shocking blindside of J. Maya. This season, Moriah Gaynor became the unfortunate target for all the players. Her Shot in the Dark was unsuccessful, and she was voted out nearly unanimously.

Why All Players Deserve the Merge Feast Close Jeff Probst has been very adamant that everything in the New Era of Survivor must be earned. It's a way to help prove the difficulty of the game, especially in the shortened time frame of game play. It's been an understandable and controversial sticking point for fans, but his logic holds some weight.
