Tribe Switch is a twist that occurs when any member of a tribe is either absorbed or switched to the other tribe.
History[]
Survivor: Kiribati[]
A Tribe Switch originally appeared in Survivor: Kiribati. From each tribe, whoever had won Individual Immunity in the last challenge got the privilege to decide who was switching tribes. In this case, Eddie786™ and Tank42992 got to choose the new Motu and the new Tenei.
