Surv!vor: Amazon

Surv!vor: The Amazon was the eighteenth season of Ashley Neleh's "Surv!vor series". For the first time, the castaways were divided by sexuality; the two tribes were divided into players who were homosexual (Jaburu), and players who were heterosexual (Tambaqui). This season is also notable for its instances of inactivity. Joanna and Jessica both quit the game, while Charlie and Ryan both accumulated enough "snake bites" (marks of inactivity) to actually get removed from the game. Ryan and Ami were cut from the Jury, making the votes cast at the Final Tr!bal Council a record number of six.
This season used the tribal chiefs twist from Surv!vor: Samoa as well. If their tribe won a certain challenge, the chief chose one person from their tribe to go to Ex!le Island. A trip there was considered a privilege, as it was a chance to look for and find a hidden !mmunity Idol.
Jaburu outplayed Tambaqui to become the Final 5 of the game, and JP Calderon / chillfact0r7 beat Brandon Quinton / Play642Day and Brad Virata / MCrre4331 3-2-1.

===Future appearances===
JP and Todd returned in Surv!vor: Heroes vs. Villains. Brandon returned in Surv!vor: The Commemorative Season.
Note: If a castaway is evacuated, it means that he or she has not submitted/participated in a certain number of events (challenges, Tr!bal Councils), culminating in his or her removal from the game.
Note 1: Charlie never actually received any votes to leave the game. Instead, he was unanimously chosen to be "cast out" from Jaburu. These votes are not counted in the "Votes Against" total.
Note 2: In Episode 9, JP played the Hidden !mmunity Idol on Shambo, therefore two votes against her do not count.

Note 3: In winning the Final !mmunity Challenge, Bard also won the right to choose whether there would be a Final Two or Final Three facing the jury. He chose a Final Three.
Note 4: The vote was originally tied between Todd and Brandon. JP changed his vote in the re-vote, making it 2-0 for Todd.
Note 5: After voting out Todd, the Final Three competed in one final challenge. JP won a tie-breaking power, in case the final vote ended up being a tie.

Note 7: JP played the hidden !mmunity Idol on Shambo, negating all votes cast against her.
Note 8: Ryan was evacuated due to inactivity, therefore no vote occurred for his removal from the game.
