what is shot in the dark survivor

Shot in the Dark is a game mechanic introduced in Survivor 41. It is a six-sided die that gives a player a one-in-six chance of receiving safety at tribal council, in exchange for them not voting. Each castaway receives this die at the start of their season, and it may only be played once, ultimately losing its power at the final seven (or the final six in Survivor 42) . The player must be eligible to vote to begin with, and the player must have the die in their possession at tribal council. The Shot in the Dark has been used by the following eight contestants: Sydney Segal in Season 41, Zach Wurtenberger, Marya Sherron, Swati Goel, and Tori Meehan in Season 42, Sami Layadi in Season 43, and Jaime Lynn Ruiz and Matthew Grinstead-Mayle in Season 44.
