Goat - Someone who is thought to not deserve to make it to the end of the game but is brought to the end because other players think it will be easy to win jury votes against them.

Read More »Immunity idol - A necklace or figurine hidden somewhere in the game — on the beach, in the jungle, at a challenge — that grants whoever has possession of it immunity at whichever tribal council they choose to play it at. In most instances, it can only be used after the votes are cast but before the votes are read, meaning the player has to accurately read the other contestant’s gameplan to play the idol correctly. Sometimes players create fake idols to generate confusion or to simply make a fool out of whoever finds and uses the fake idol. Live tribal council - When players don’t decide who they’re voting for until they get to tribal council, where they walk around whispering to each other trying to make the best rushed decision. Medevac - When a player has to be medically evacuated from the game due to a medical emergency. They do not get to return to the game or have a chance at the million dollars despite not being voted out. Shoutout to fan favorite James from China, who lost his chance at redemption twice because of injuries. Merge - The point in the game, usually when there are around 10-12 players left when the separate tribes merge into one larger tribe. From here on, all players go to each tribal council and players compete in the immunity challenges for individual immunity rather than tribal immunity. Individual immunity is rewarded in the form of an immunity necklace. The immunity necklace can be transferred from whoever wins it to another player, but that rarely happens, as most Survivor fans know what happens when you give it up. (Newbies, watch Survivor: Micronesia.) Pagonging - A game strategy involving a tribal alliance and voting out everyone from the opposing tribe first after a merge. Ponderosa - The living quarters for players who have been eliminated from the game. Players are not allowed to go home immediately after being voted out in order to prevent spoilers, so they stay at this residence, usually made up of several cabins and a common area. After the merge, players who were voted out pre-merge are moved elsewhere so the jury can stay at Ponderosa. Sometimes CBS airs short clips from the players’ time at Ponderosa, which is how we got to see the iconic friendship between Coach, Courtney and JT develop after they got voted out of Heroes vs. Villains. Purple edit - Originated from contestant nicknamed “Purple Kelly” in Survivor: Nicaragua. The nickname was based off of purple streaks in her hair, made to avoid confusion with another player named Kelly in the same season. Purple Kelly was known for not being shown, like ever, on her season. She was edited out of almost every scene she was in, possibly because the producers were mad at her for quitting mid-season. Now, whenever a player is barely seen on a season and seems to be heavily edited out, they’re referred to as being “purpled” or receiving “the purple edit.”
For this list, they focused on the positions from a variety of sports that are toughest to play from both a physical and technical standpoint. 7:...

Read More »With all the vocabulary laid out for you new fans, all that’s left is for you to catch up on the first forty seasons of Survivor inside jokes, Jeff Probst quotes, iconic contestants and infuriating vote outs. But if for some reason you don’t have the time to watch over 500 hours of people arguing over food rations and throwing balls at targets in a random jungle, here’s your priority watching list, based on my completely biased opinions:
