For everyone: In Survivor, is there ever time for second chances?

Of course there is time for second chances on Survivor. Countless contestants have completely ruined a challenge for their tribe, one of my favorite contestants, Tina, did this twice. But, her tribe gave her a second chance and she did well after that. You can't ever count someone out for one failure. If the failure is a trend, there's no room for a second chance, but if the loss is a fluke or due to a specific circumstance, it is easy to work around it.

'''Jace: Is there ever justification for a non-submission during the tribal phase of this game? If circumstances call for it, can there be forgiveness, or is there always going to be blood to pay?'''

Circumstance is a big part of the justification of a non-submission. I know that around where I live, there were mass power outages. Luckily I wasn't affected, but what if I was? Would my value as a tribe member decrease because of something temporary that I cannot control? If someone's head isn't in the game due to out-of-the-game situations, it wouldn't be right to give them a hard time for it. As said, circumstances definitely do affect the level of forgiveness present in the tribe. If one was simply too lazy to complete a challenge, costing the tribe the win, obviously they are going to be held more responsible than someone undergoing previously mentioned circumstances.
