When a tribe wins a challenge they gain immunity and do not have to vote off one of their members. The losing tribe, on the other hand, has to go to tribal council where they decide which one of their members they are going to vote off. This process repeats itself until the two tribes eventually merge at which point it becomes every man for themselves. Survivors then compete in challenges for individual immunity. This continues until there are only 2 survivors left, at which point the last 7 people to be voted off come back and vote on which of the 2 wins the prize, which in this case is a brand new game for the Nintendo DS.

At what point do the tribes merge? When eight survivors are left total? The way I read it, it seems that, hypothetically, if one tribe wins the first eight challenges in a row, then they never have to knock off a team member.

That will not be revealed yet. And yes theoretically it would possible to end up with an 8-2 situation if one tribe is completely dominate. Something similar actually happened during one of the seasons of the tv show. The two or three guys left were like "please let us merge" but Jeff told them no and sent them back to camp ha ha.
