Double Tribal Council

The Double Tribal Council is a game changing twist where both tribes vote out a member one after the other, on the same night. Oftentimes, individual immunity is offered to contestants. Additionally, tribal reward is sometimes offered, and the winner can sit in on the losing tribe's Tribal Council, while eating food.

History
