The two tribes are merged when six competitors have been ejected. When there are just two remaining contestants the Survivors who were voted off return to form a jury which will decided the winner. Tasks vary but promise to involve mental and physical skills. The council is formed by the tribe which loses each Immunity Challenge. The tribe must travel to the council through dense jungle before members are allowed to vote.
Voting takes place in the form of a secret ballot.
The programme is pre-recorded and only the competitors vote. Contestants can form voting alliances but they cannot agree to share the 1m prize. The contestants are only given enough rice to last 40 days and just one tin of meat and fruit per tribe. Contestants have to fend for themselves. But producers do stress that the programme is just a game show.
