Template:Gameplay
A Tribe Switch (also known as Tribe Shuffle or Tribe Swap) is the very first game-changing twists of Survivor. This twist sends members from one tribe to the rival tribe and vice versa.
About
The Tribe Switch is a twist can happen in a random point during a game and this reassignment of tribes will be effective until the tribes merge or a new opportunity to switch tribes shows up (e.g. a Mutiny or a second switch.)
Normally it would send half of the tribe to the other when both tribes have equal number of tribe members, though it has changed depending on circumstances.
In seasons with the Exile twist, if the contestants cannot be equally divided into new tribes, it is possible that one contestant will not initially join a tribe, and will instead join the next tribe to lose a member. So far, this has only occurred in Template:S.
A variant of the tribe switch, the Tribe Dissolve, is where one or more tribes cease to exist after the switch. It either requires the entire tribe to be dismantled and its remaining members are spread into the remaining tribes (absorption) or requires that all remaining players, usually in four or three tribes, in the game are shuffled between two of four tribes.

Switch #1
Type: Expansion On Day 7, a tribe switch took place, adding a third tribe named Galaxie into the mix. Each castaway was given an egg filled with paint. The paint's color represents which tribe each castaway ended up on. Galaxie would have to move to a new camp with the bare essentials.

Switch #2
Type: Disbanding On Day 18, Galaxie was disbanded, and ach tribe selected a member to act as a representative. The three of them split the others into the original two tribes, then select an egg, which contains paint which would indicate their new tribe. Brandi picked an egg containing blue paint, and, as a result was sent to exile at the Galaxie camp until the next Tribal Council, where she would replace the person voted out.
