Edge of Extinction (twist)


 * For the season of Castaway based on Edge of Extinction, see Castaway: Edge of Extinction

Edge of Extinction is an elimination twist in Castaway.

Similar to the original twist used in Survivor, the player voted out of Tribal Council will wait for an opportunity to return to the game by a challenge alongside all those voted out of the game at a designated point.

Overview
Debuting in Castaway: Edge of Extinction its purpose was to permit the eliminated player an opportunity to return to the game.

When a player is voted out, they are immediately sent to the aforementioned "Edge of Extinction" which is the central area of play where all challenges take place, restricted from viewing the goings on from other tribes, eliminated players can use this time to talk with other eliminated players and potentially share information about the social politics of the game. Any advantages held at the time become void unless the player with the advantage successfully returns to the game. At two designated points, the eliminated contestants at that time will participate in a challenge to return to the game, with the stipulation that if a player is eliminated they do not continue on the Edge and are eliminated permanently.

When the merge is announced, all those in the merged tribe become members of the jury after the second re-entry competition.
