Simple model · not a prediction

Going into the vote in Episode 16: 2 players at risk, Amber and Boston Rob safe with immunity.

Rupert was voted out (2nd on our list). Not counted in the hit rate: only 2 people were at risk, so any top 5 would include them.

75%hit rate this season: the person who left was in our top 5 at 3 of 4 votes
74%by chance: 5 random names would catch about 3.0

Scored after the challenge and before the vote: whoever won immunity is safe and left out. Only things that already happened count. Ties are listed A to Z. A vote counts toward the hit rate when more than 5 people were at risk and at least one of them had a score.

This is a simple model, not a prediction engine: it can't see alliances forming, camp life, idols nobody knows about or who is seen as a jury threat. The “by chance” number is what picking 5 names at random would score on the same votes.

Glossary

Survivor words, explained

What this shows: The show's terms in plain English. Any underlined word on this page opens the same explanation when you tap it.

All the rules →
Jury

Players knocked out late in the game. They stay on to watch the rest of it, and at the finale they vote for who wins.

Rules of the game →

Finalist

One of the last two or three players, who face the jury's vote for the win.

Rules of the game →

Returning player

Someone who had already played the show (or the other show) before this season.

Boot

Fan slang for a player being voted out or evicted. "First boot" means the first person out.

Rules of the game →

Blindside

A player is voted out without seeing it coming, usually because their allies voted against them.

Rules of the game →

Confessional (the edit)

A short interview to camera, away from the other players, cut into the episode. Fans count them to see whose story the editors are telling.

Tribe

The team a castaway lives and competes with before the merge. Each tribe has its own camp and colour.

Rules of the game →

Tribal council

The meeting where players vote someone out. Each player secretly writes down a name; whoever gets the most votes leaves the game.

Rules of the game →

Immunity

Protection from being voted out at the next tribal council. Tribes win it as a group early on; after the merge, one player wins it in a challenge.

Rules of the game →

Hidden immunity idol (idol)

A hidden object a player can find and play at tribal council after the votes are cast. Votes against the protected player don't count.

Rules of the game →

Advantage

A secret power found around camp or on a trip, such as an extra vote or the chance to block someone's vote.

Rules of the game →

Tribe swap

The players are reshuffled into new tribes, which splits up old loyalties.

Rules of the game →

Merge

The point where the tribes join into one. From then on everyone competes for themselves and immunity is individual.

Rules of the game →

Mergatory

Fan nickname for the stretch just before or around the merge, when the game is in limbo between tribes and individual play.

Rules of the game →

Final tribal council (FTC)

The last vote of the season. The finalists make their case and the jury votes for who should win.

Rules of the game →

Sole Survivor

The winner of a Survivor season.

Rules of the game →

Shot in the Dark

A one-time gamble at tribal council: a player gives up their vote for a small chance (about 1 in 6) of being safe.

Rules of the game →

Fire-making challenge

At the final four, the player with immunity is safe and picks one other to be safe. The last two race to build a fire, and the loser goes home.

Rules of the game →

Split vote

The majority spreads its votes across two names on purpose, so an idol can't save everyone. If an idol saves one name, the other still goes home.

Rules of the game →

Tie and revote

If two players get the same number of votes, everyone except them votes again between the tied players.

Rules of the game →

Medical evacuation (medevac)

A player is removed from the game by the medical team. No vote happens.

Rules of the game →

Alliance

A group of players who agree to vote together and protect each other. Alliances are secret, often shift, and are named by the players or by fans.

Voting bloc

Players who keep writing down the same name. We work blocs out from the vote records alone, so a bloc hints at an alliance without proving one.

Redemption Island

A twist where voted-out players go to a separate island instead of home. They fight in duels, the loser of each duel is out for good, and the last one standing returns to the game.

Edge of Extinction

A twist where voted-out players can stay on a bare island instead of going home. They can later win a challenge to get back into the game, and those who stay still vote on the jury.

Exile Island

A separate camp where a player is sent alone for a while, often with a clue to a hidden idol. They are still in the game and come back for the next challenge.

Rock draw

If a revote is still tied and the players can't agree, everyone not tied or immune draws a rock. Whoever draws the odd-coloured rock goes home.
