Prior to the merge, all challenges are between tribes, resulting in tribal rewards and immunities.

After the merge, contestants compete in challenges on an individual basis.

Individual rewards have often included the option to select one or more other tribe members to participate in the reward.

After merging, there have been reward challenges where two or more teams are created from the remaining players, with the winning team reaping the reward benefits.
