Survivor Tribes scoring awards points to the castaways on your fantasy tribe for what they do on screen each episode of Survivor 51. Winning immunity, finding an idol, landing a blindside and reaching the merge all score; getting voted out costs you. Every value below is the same in every league.
One castaway on your fantasy tribe is your Sole Survivor, and they score double on every point they gain — a −3 still costs you 3, never 6. It starts on your first draft pick and you can move it to anyone on your fantasy tribe until episode 2 airs.

Drafting Survivor 51?
These point values decide draft strategy. The Open Era puts fifty seasons of idols and advantages back in play, which means more scoring events per episode and a lot less predictable placement.
