In what was an epic battle between the castaways from Edge of Extinction, Tyson Apostol took the lead in the last minute, won the challenge and made his way back into the game. 

Titled, 'This is Where the Battle Begins', the 11 remaining castaways and one lucky contestant from Edge of Extinction hit the 'Survivor' milestone by making it to the merge. Known as Koru, the merged tribe already consists of the 11 castaways, Sophie Clarke, Jeremy Collins, Ben Driebergen, Michele Fitzgerald, Wendell Holland, Adam Klein, Sarah Lacina, Kim Spradlin-Wolfe, Denise Stapley, Tony Vlachos and Nick Wilson.

Tyson takes the final spot as the 12th castaway in the game after he won the first Edge of Extinction challenge. Though Tyson made his way back into the game, fans and viewers on Twitter predict that he has the highest chance of being booted again. 

He got voted off in a blindsided tribal council earlier this season and made his way to the Edge of Extinction where he waited to fight for his chance to return into the game, and luckily he did make it back. Though fans were mostly rooting for Rob Mariano and Natalie Anderson to make it to the merge, there were happy that at least one old school contestant is back in the game. 

But will his return put a bigger target on his back and in return get him voted off once again? Fans sure think so. Taking to Twitter, a fan wrote, "Are they gonna vote Tyson’s ass right back out #Survivor." 

"Imagine if Tyson just goes right back out, that would be kinda funny #Survivor," a fan wrote. Another shared, "If Tyson doesn’t get voted off tonight (assuming he doesn’t win any of the immunities), that would be impressive #Survivor." 

"Tyson always gets voted out after being a moron. Don’t need to see that again #Survivor," a fan said. While another added, "#Survivor nobody from the merge is gonna let tyson get a foothold into this game . He'll be gone asap . Wait & see this episode or next he's gone for sure . He's too good to go far in this game." 

"WOOOOOOO TYSON!!! but he’ll probably get voted out again... #Survivor #SurvivorWinnersAtWar," a fan added. Adding to that another wrote, "I sorta think Tyson will just be going out again soon anyway lol #Survivor." 

Do you think Tyson will make it further in the game? Or get booted out soon once again? Let us know in the comments below. 

'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40 airs every Wednesday night only on CBS. Check your local listings for more information.
