Episode 7 airs Wednesday, Nov 4 at 8 PM ET on CBS in 6 days

Two castaways. One season. Outlast your friends.

Castaways start in tribes, compete in reward and immunity challenges, and vote one another out at Tribal Council. Around the halfway point the tribes merge and play becomes individual. The voted-out players who form the jury pick the Sole Survivor from the final two or three.

How it works

  1. Start or join a party

    Create a private party and send friends the link or a six-letter code.

  2. Pick two by the merge

    Choose any two castaways still in the game by the end of the merge episode. Once you lock them in, they're yours for the season.

  3. Score every episode after

    From the episode after the merge, immunity wins, idols, smart votes and big moves earn points. Getting voted out costs you.

Survivor 51: 13 still playing.

Rules

The fine print, in plain words.

Two picks

Everyone in your party chooses exactly two castaways who are still in the game.

Due by the end of the merge episode

Picks close at 11:59 PM on the merge episode's air date in your party's time zone, checked against the server's clock. Your host can set a specific date instead or close picks early.

Locked for good

Once you confirm, your picks can't be changed, even before the deadline, and even if one of them is voted out. No trades, bench, waivers or replacements.

Picks can overlap

Two friends can both pick the same castaway. Picks stay hidden until the deadline, then every team is revealed.

When points start

Scoring starts with the episode after the merge episode. Pre-merge episodes only record who left, worth 0. A party never counts episodes that aired before it was created.

Eliminations

Getting voted out costs 10 points plus 1 per vote received. Leaving while holding an idol or advantage costs extra. Eliminated castaways stay on your team and score nothing more.

Finale

Winning fire-making is worth 5, reaching Final Tribal Council 10, each jury vote 3, and winning the season 20.

Voluntary exits and removals

Quitting or being removed for conduct scores -10. A medical evacuation scores 0. Either way, the castaway stops scoring.

Late joiners

New members can join only while picks are open. After the deadline, the party stops taking members.

Ties

Players with the same score share a rank (1, 2, 2, 4) and are listed alphabetically within the tie.

Results and corrections

Results are entered from the CBS broadcast and stay hidden until published. Corrections are logged, standings recalculate, and anyone whose score changed gets one notice.

Host settings

Your host can adjust point values and the first scoring episode until the party starts, and can make audited pick corrections with a reason.

Predictions and polls

In development. Questions like these will open week by week, scored for fun, never for money.

Questions about Survivor on Pick the Cast

Is there a free Survivor fantasy league?

Yes. Pick the Cast is free: start a private party for your friends, or join a public one (a party is what most sites call a league). There’s no money involved: no entry fee, no prize, no betting.

How many castaways do you pick?

Two. Everyone in the party picks before the deadline, and picks are locked for the season, so friends can back the same castaway.

When are picks due?

Picks are due by 11:59 PM (party time zone) on the night the merge episode airs. Scoring starts with the episode after the merge.

How does Survivor fantasy scoring work?

Points come from what happens on the show. The biggest: won the season (+20), reached Final Tribal Council (+10) and played an idol successfully (+7). The steepest loss: quit or disqualified (−10). Every event and its points are on the scoring page. Each party can adjust point values before it starts.

How many people should be in a party?

4-20 players works best. Parties can be private (invite link or code) or public.

Is there a new season of Survivor coming?

CBS renewed Survivor for seasons 51 and 52 on January 22, 2026. Survivor 52 is reported for early 2027; no premiere date has been announced.

Is Pick the Cast affiliated with CBS or Survivor?

No. Pick the Cast is an independent fan game. It isn’t affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any network, streaming service, studio or show.
