11. Cause it's about half the people in the game making merge that way and there ends up being 9 jurors so no way there's a tie vote at the end of the game- Shadoweh

Any more than that: 12ShowDo I REALLY suck? That's up to you to decide.
Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.
Definitely DID suck, in the end...Probably.- Skelda

Odd numbers if you have a final two, even if you have a final three. I like merges to be as big as possible because it sucks so much to be voted out premerge. But there's obviously some limit to that depending on the size of the game. And everyone who makes merge should make Jury!
I think if half or more of your players are voted out premerge, your merge is too late.- pablito

Anywhere between 10 and 12, 9 if it’s a small game (16 players or less) and 11-12 if it’s a big one (24). Jury should start at the same time as merge, I hate how the game has moved away from this. Obviously for an F3 the jury point can’t be at 9 barring another twist.“The assumption of good faith is dead”

I like when the jury starts a few after merge because players can vote out someone who they don't want on the jury. Adds an additional element to the merge.
11 would be my ideal if I had to pick one, but I think variety is better. Think the final number should usually be known though. Hard to plan for either f2 or f3 being possible.- CuddlyCaucasian

You have to keep in mind that aside from seasons 8 and 10, every pre-F3 season had the first merge boot not be part of the jury, so it's more that the show has been reverting back to its roots now sometimes"CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

It also gives all jury members a chance to know potential finalists more than just one round - especially if they'ever never been on a tribe together.In post 19, Haschel Cedricson wrote:
