Bi self evicted, how many other castaways have self evicted ?
Also, do contestants go to Ponderosa only after the merge, and if so when does the merge usually happen ?
Sorry for the late response, but 13 people have quit Survivor.
All pre-jury players go to Ponderosa, then when the jury begins, the pre-jury players go on a trip while the jury members go to Ponderosa.
In the past few seasons with 20 players (since Cambodia), the merge has happened with 13 players remaining.
Thanks very much for the info, you are the Stat-Man ! Think if Jabeni goes to tribal this week, then merge definitely the next week, if not then maybe two more weeks till the merge?
