| Description: | Contestants that have been voted out who determine the winner of the game. |
| Appearances: | All seasons |
The jury is a group of eliminated contestants whose purpose is to vote among the two or three finalists for a winner of the game. The hosts hold the right to remove any contestant from the jury for a number of reasons; inappropriate behavior, quitting, inactivity, and/or refusal to vote.
Juries can start anywhere from 14 to 8 contestants remaining. Juries can also start before or after the merge, sometimes resulting in some jurors having no interaction with finalists, and, by extension, never sharing a tribe with them.

Post-Elimination and Life at Ponderosa[]
Immediately after their elimination, contestants are given the jury role (this is, they make the jury), and their contestant role is retracted. This removes their permission to view the Survivor camp. They are then asked by a host if they would like to do a post-game interview, where they reflect on their time in the game. Then, they're given permission to talk in the Ponderosa channel, where all the jurors stay. Here is where jurors typically talk about the game, such as who is the strongest contender to win, or who they think is playing the worst game, etc. It is also used as a chatting lounge, and many jurors just build stronger connections with one another to take their mind off of their elimination.
Jurors are still given permission to view the announcements, challenges, and scores channels, though they cannot speak in them. In Survivor, castaways have permission to view the Tribal Council channel. This is because in the TV show Survivor, jurors are allowed to observe Tribal Council. Alike the show, they cannot speak.
Voting[]
During the 24 hour questioning period, the juror's confessionals are hidden from the audience. During this time, the jurors cast their vote for a winner. The votes are typically revealed in eviction or reverse eviction order.
