The Merge is the coming together of the two or more tribes. This means that the tribes will now live as one in one camp until the end of the game. This also signals the game's halfway point and may also begin the Jury phase.
Merged tribes typically comprise of 9 to 14 members. It serves as a halfway point of the game, wherein the remaining castaways will stay as one new tribe until the final day of the competition. From this point forward, the game shifts from a team-effort competition into a individual game. The final two or three then face the Jury on the last day of the competition at the Final Tribal Council, where the Jury decides who will be the Sole Survivor.
