Notes: The tribes competed for both tribal reward and individual immunity. GC was the first to reach the Fang's individual Immunity Idol, but the Kota tribe reached the finish line first, losing Fang the tribal portion of the challenge. Due to the odd number of players at the time of the tribe switch, Sugar, the odd person out, was sent to Exile Island, and rejoined the game as a member of Fang, replacing Jacquie and evening the tribes at 7-7. Both tribes were sent to Tribal Council. The tribes competed in an individual Immunity Challenge. The winner of the challenge, Marcus from Kota, was given a second Immunity Necklace to assign to one member of Fang, in which he chose Sugar.

==Trivia==
*From the beginning of the game until the second Tribe Switch, the tribe's name was pronounced as /fɑng/ (pronounced "fong"), but after the second switch, it was changed by Corinne Kaplan to /fæng/ (sounding like how "fang" is usually pronounced in American English), because she thought the original pronunciation was "tainted" due to its misfortunes.
*Matty Whitmore is the only original member of Fang to stay on the tribe until the merge.
*Among all the red tribes in Survivor history, Fang fared the worst in challenges, winning only four of the season's thirteen tribal challenges.
* Fang, along with its rival Kota tribe, are the third and fourth tribes to have its tribe name originate from an actual tribe or ethnic group, following 's Boran and Samburu tribes, which are also African-based tribes. Fang is the dominant language of the Bantu and is spoken by 32% of Gabon inhabitants.
*Fang, along with Kota, are the first two tribes to be a part of two full tribe switches.
*Fang's camp was later used as the camp for the merged tribe Nobag.
