Do or Die Probability Game (1 of 2) Tribal Council | Survivor 41 | S41E11: Do or Die
Published at : December 06, 2021
A castaway plays a Do or Die Probability Game. If they choose correctly, they are safe at tribal council. If they choose incorrectly, they leave the game immediately and there is no addition vote at tribal council.
At the immunity challenge each castaway must balance a small metal ball on a wooden cylinder, while holding the center cylinder in place with two wooden handles. Every five minutes, new pieces of the wooden rod will be added, making it harder to balance the ball on the center cylinder. The castaway who balances their ball the longest will win immunity.
Additional Stipulation: The castaways who drew the grey rock will not participate in this challenge. The castaway who dropped their ball first will participate in Do or Die at Tribal Council.

Survivor 41 is the forty-first season of the CBS competitive reality television series Survivor.
Production
Production for the 41st and 42nd seasons were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As has been the norm since Survivor: Samoa, the seasons were scheduled to be filmed back-to-back beginning in March 2020, but had to be put on hold due to the global outbreak of the coronavirus.[3] Prior to the Fijian government allowing production to enter, domestically filming both seasons either in Georgia or Hawaii was considered.[4]
In March 2021, it was announced that production for the two seasons had resumed in Fiji, but due to mobility issues, the production team modified their protocols to ensure the cast and crew's safety such as using a staggered arrival scheme.[5] Each crew member and contestant had to test negative and be quarantined for 14 days.[4] Production also collaborated with the Fijian government to establish a safe "bubble" within a chain of islands to be used as base camp, tribe camps, challenge sites and Tribal Council, allowing free movement within the bubble but prohibiting physical interaction outside of it.
This season, was filmed over 26 days, 13 days shorter than the standard 39-day timeline due to the production schedule being compromised by the Fijian government's quarantine rules. To keep the shorter game just as challenging, the tribes were given fewer supplies and no food rations. Items won on Reward Challenges were also scarce.[6]
Beginning in 41, seasons will no longer be named after twists or overarching themes and will simply be identified by their season number.[7]
Casting
Following criticism over lack of racial diversity in its reality programming, CBS announced in November 2020 that Survivor and its other reality shows must cast at least 50% persons of color beginning with the 2021-2022 television season. Crew members will also have the same composition for a fairer representation of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds in the edited show.[8][9][10]
Jeff Probst also stated that contestants from the show's first 20 years will not be asked to return in the foreseeable future.[7]
Game Within the Game
A Survivor first, viewers will be given the opportunity to solve rebus puzzles hidden throughout the course of the episode, whether at challenges, Tribal Council, or in underwater shots; after which fans may answer online. The answers to the puzzles are iconic lines from the series' history.[11] Jeff Probst explained the minigame was aimed for the younger audience and aspiring contestants.
Twists/Changes
Shortened Game: The game will last for 26 days, 13 days shorter than the standard 39.[12] To retain the difficulty of a 39-day game in a shorter season, no food rations and limited camp supplies are given to the castaways and reward items won in challenges are scarce.[6][12]
Tribe Division: The 18 castaways are divided into 3 tribes of 6. No unifying theme is used in dividing the tribes.
Penalties for Losing Immunity Challenges: As part of keeping the shorter season just as difficult, tribes that lose an Immunity Challenge will have their flint taken away and will only earn it back the next time they win.
Summit and Prisoner's Dilemma: Castaways from different tribes are taken to another island where they are given a choice between protecting or risking their vote on their next visit to Tribal Council. If all of them choose "protect", they keep their votes. If all of them choose "risk", none of them will be able to vote at their next Tribal Council. If there is a split decision, those who chose "protect" get to keep their vote, but those who chose "risk" will get an advantage. The advantages available through this method are:[13]
Extra Vote: A castaway would get the right to vote....
At the immunity challenge each castaway must balance a small metal ball on a wooden cylinder, while holding the center cylinder in place with two wooden handles.
