After the merge, where there is only one existing tribe, the remaining contestants compete in individual challenges to seek possession of the Immunity Necklace, which guarantees safety at Tribal Council for its bearer. Unlike the tribal Immunity Idol, which gives exemption to its host, the incumbent wearer of the necklaces still must attend Tribal Council and cast a vote, but that player cannot be voted out. On some occasions, Individual Immunity has been played for during the pre-merge stages of the game (Usually this occurs during Double Tribal Councils).
