About[]
During a tribe switch, the current tribes are reconfigured with any number of members being sent over to join the rival tribe, and vice-versa. It can happen at any point in the game during the pre-merge phase, and there are multiple ways of determining the new tribes.
In some cases where there is an odd-number of castaways partaking in the switch, one may be sent into exile for a period of time. They will later be assigned to a tribe after they've voted someone out.
A tribe switch has the potential to alter the status quo of the game. It can be beneficial or detrimental to a castaway depending on the circumstances.
Classifications[]
A tribe switch could be classified as one or more of several types:
- Shuffle: During a shuffle, both tribes could receive a different number of new members, and is typically always done through random draw. Regardless of any potential physical or gender imbalances.
- Expansion: During an expansion, an additional tribe is introduced after the starting tribes have already been established. The members of this new tribe can be determined either randomly or selectively.
- Absorption: An absorption happens when one tribe is dissolved, with its remaining members being the only ones who are eligible to switch and are distributed to the remaining tribes. This type of switch is exclusive to seasons with three or more tribes competing at a time.
- Swap: A swap is done in a way that ensures that both tribes receive the same amount of new castaways. A common method of doing this is a Schoolyard Pick. The term "swap" is often used to describe all variations of switches in Survivor Fan Characters, regardless of the specific type.
- Disband: A disbanding happens after a tribe gets dissolved. Then a swap is done to put the castaways on the remaining tribes. Unlike the absorption, castaways from the non-dissolved tribes are eligible to switch as well.
- Mutiny: A mutiny happens when contestants are given the option to join a rival tribe.
- Demerge: A demerge occurs when the merged tribe is dissolved, and its members are placed into one of two tribes.

Survivor Fan Characters: All-Stars[]
- Type: Swap
On Day 13, Al and Vinnie Reid were voted on by their tribes to receive the final item offered at the Survivor Auction. Which was a one in two chance of the current tribes swapping if the colored ink inside the enclosed orbs they had both selected matched the colors of their opposing tribes. They were both given the option to trade orbs before revealing, but they both refused. The tribes ended up swapping with the five currently present members of both tribes trading places. The only contestants exempt from this swap were Bitsy Mitzi, Kala, Lucky the Cat, and Mana D. Sin who were all currently away on an overnight stay at the Beachview Mobile Resort. Mary, who was currently on Exile Island, would also later end up swapping to Solaris, replacing Craig after he was voted out.

- Type: Shuffle
On Day 8, It was announced to the tribes that a switch would be taking place. The new tribes were decided by having each contestant choose an egg with paint inside matching that of the tribe colors. Whichever color the paint was determined which tribe the contestant would be on. As the Ride or Die partner of Sydney Casey, Dante Wagner was exempt from participating in the shuffle, and would automatically join whichever tribe Sydney ended up on. Both of them would end up swapping to Yarnago, along with Fuchsia Amaranth and Trevor Griffin, while Claterra received Aurora, Nico Harlinger, and Sandalwood as their new recruits.
