GOOD QUESTION. Honestly this is why we have the Q&A :)

This is how the game will work: PRE MERGE: -You and your duo will be placed on OPPOSITE Tribes **NOTE: when the game starts, it may take me a second to get this configured as we can't pre-do this. Please bear with me for a few minutes -You are Soul Tied. If your duo is voted out, so are you. -Rounds will last 5 minutes only. **THE TWIST** If you score 0 in the Immunity Challenge, your partner will be SAFE the next round if their tribe is going to tribal council and cannot be voted out. IS IT WORTH RISKING YOUR TRIBE'S SAFETY TO PROTECT YOUR SOUL TIE? MERGE: -You and your partner are still soul tied, but the eliminations become SINGLE ELIMINATIONS. However, at merge, if your partner is eliminated, you may choose to sacrifice yourself to give them a spot back in the game. You will have 1 minute after day change to make this decision. IDOLS: **PRE MERGE** - If you score 0 in 3 competitions in a row, your partner will receive a Hidden Immunity Idol **MERGE** - The FIRST person to sacrifice themselves for their partner and get eliminated, their partner will receive a hidden immunity idol upon returning to the game.

IM EXCITED ABOUT THIS BTW LOVE YALL
