Survivor Enderron: Samoa – Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty is the seventh season of the Enderronian competitive reality television series Survivor Enderron. Filming took place on the island Upolu in Samoa from TBA to TBA 2015. The season premiered on TBA 2015, and aired weekly until the live finale on TBA 2015.
The 18 contestants were initially separated into three tribes based on primary attribute: "brains" (intelligence), "brawn" (athleticism) and "beauty" (attractiveness and charisma). When 14 contestants remained, the Beauty tribe was disbanded and the contestants were shuffled into two new tribes. When ten contestants remained, the two tribes merged into the Vaiafi tribe (from the Samoan words for "water", vai, and "fire", afi).
In the final episode, James Trent was named the "Sole Survivor", defeating Lindy Pham and Brenda Kwan in a 7–2–0 vote.

==Season summary==
The 18 new castaways were divided into three tribes based on primary attribute: Malosi (Brawn), Poto (Brains) and Alelei (Beauty). The three tribes fared equally at challenges, with the Brawns and Beauties losing one member apiece and the Brains losing two. With 14 players remaining, the castaways were shuffled into two tribes of seven: Malosi, consisting of Terry from the Brawn tribe, Ken and Leona from the Brains, and four of the five Beauties; and Poto, consisting of remaining Beauty Elina, Brains Erica and James T., and the other four Brawns. On Poto, the Brawns initially planned to hold strong and get rid of Elina, but she and James T. convinced Lindy to turn on the Brawn alliance to vote out physical threat Misti instead. Unbeknownst to them, Misti found an idol and suspecting her name was being thrown around correctly played it, allowing the original plan to succeed. At Malosi, the Beauties planned a similar strategy to take advantage of their majority, but were disrupted by Tim's medical evacuation due to allergies. The Malosi tribe lost the next two immunity challenges and the remaining Beauties stuck together to vote out Terry and Leona.
The tribes merged with 10 players remaining: four Brawns, three Brains and three Beauties. Lindy flipped to the Beauty alliance citing poor treatment by her tribemates. This led the remaining Brawns to align with the three Brains against Lindy and the Beauties, resulting in Julie's elimination. At the following tribal council the Brawn-Brains alliance targetted Beauty alliance leader Stephen, but he played an idol and Erica was voted out instead. At the Survivor Auction on Day 28, Stephen bought a clue to the hidden immunity idol, and later at camp feigned the possession of such. Paranoia got the better of Jack and James F., who flipped and joined the Beauty alliance in voting out Ken. After the revelation that Stephen did not have an idol, he was next to be eliminated after failing to win immunity. With just Brenda from the Beauty alliance remaining at the final six, the Brawn-Brains alliance began turning on itself. James T. aligned with Brenda and played an idol to eliminate Jack after seeing the Brawns band together. They then convinced Lindy to join them to eliminate James F. and Misti, becoming the final three.
At the Final Tribal Council, Brenda was largely ignored due to her lack of social connections, laidback gameplay and perceived coattail-riding, being unable to name any impactful move in the game that she made on her own. Lindy was praised for her challenge performances and ability to control her fate in the game. However, she was harshly criticised by many jurors, particularly the former Brawns, for her numerous flips and shifting loyalties post-merge. James T. was praised for his well-rounded game and strategic aptitude, and commended for out-maneuvering the Brawns at the final six. The jury decided to award James T. the title of Sole Survivor by a landslide 7–2–0 vote.
