It’s “Drop your buffs” time on “Survivor 43,” aka the merge, and in CBS’s newly released sneak peek video (watch above), the Coco tribe reacts to the news after reading it via tree-mail. While the entire tribe celebrates what the future may hold, Karla Cruz Godoy remains (smartly) skeptical. She tells the camera, “While it’s exciting, yes, oh my god, the merge is coming … it’s ‘Survivor,’ right? And for the last two seasons we’ve seen that the merge doesn’t come easy.”
What she’s referring to is that during “Survivor 41” and “Survivor 42,” the castaways had to earn their way into the merge for the first time ever. First, they drew random colored rocks and one person with a grey rock had to go to Exile Island and live alone. Then, the remaining players competed in a challenge where the winners would earn a merge...

This week on “Survivor,” a contestant (Dan Spilo) was removed from the game for the first time ever due to an off-camera “incident” involving sexual misconduct. (See host Jeff Probst‘s response.) The shocking development reminds us of the last time something like this happened on CBS’s reality TV show. The year was 2004. The season, “All-Stars.” In the fifth episode, the players competed in an immunity challenge that required them to brush up against each other as they ran across a balance beam. A problem arose when Richard Hatch, who was voluntarily naked (as he often was on the island) flaunted his body against Sue Hawk. Watch the incident below.
At first Hawk seemed to laugh it off, but when she got back to camp she couldn’t get that moment out of her mind. “I just kept reliving the incident. It just kept eating into me more and more like a cancer,...

During Wednesday’s tribe swap episode of “Survivor: Edge of Extinction,” the seemingly impossible happened when 15 people grabbed new buffs at random and 14 of them ended up with their old tribe mates. Wendy Diaz was the only person to find herself at a camp full of fresh faces. While Wendy chose to look at this as a positive, there’s no denying the fact that strategically she was now on thin ice. The good news for Wendy is that the same thing happened to Amber Brkich 30 seasons ago on “Survivor: All Stars” … and she won.
After the dust settled on the season’s first tribe swap, Wendy found herself at her old Manu camp along with four old Kama players: Aubry Bracco, Victoria Baamonde, Gavin Whitson and Eric Hafemann. Host Jeff Probst blatantly told Wendy, “If ‘Survivor’ is a game of numbers and these four are tight, you would be in trouble.

This week Elizabeth Olson became the latest castaway in “Survivor” history to go down as the “merge boot.” Typically at merge the player seen as one of the biggest threats in the game is eliminated first–exactly what kind of threat that player is varies greatly depending on the cast and the alliances of their season. In Elizabeth’s case she was voted out unanimously, on one hand a volatile personality that was targeting strong Goliath members and on the other a viable sacrifice her fellow Davids were willing to make.
So how does Elizabeth stack up when compared to merge boots of the past? Below take our poll to decide who was the biggest merge threat in “Survivor” history. To help you decide we’ve narrowed the field down to our Top 12 and most iconic contenders for the title and offer a brief analysis of why they were threatening below.

"Survivor: Blood vs. Water" had a crazy thing happen last episode -- the Tribal Council, fueled by Hayden's last-ditch effort to sway Ciera's vote and save himself, went all the way to a drawing of rocks after two tie votes. It was only the second time that has ever happened in "Survivor" history and it sent Katie to Redemption Island.
But is that enough to propel this season into the ranks of the best seasons ever? We'll have to see how it plays out. For now, here are the 10 best and five worst seasons of the granddaddy of reality competition shows.
The Best
No. 10: Season 4, "Marquesas"
Host Jeff Probst has said he thinks this season ranks fairly low because it was so boring, but we disagree. This season not only featured the first time rocks were drawn, but it also saw older competitors Paschal and Kathy team up with Sean,...
