Survivor Enderron: Taiwan is the twelfth season of the Enderronian competitive reality television series Survivor Enderron. Filming took place in Taitung County, Taiwan from TBA to TBA 2017. The season premiered on TBA 2018, and aired weekly until the live finale on TBA 2018.
The 18 contestants were initially separated into three tribes: Pingtung (named after Pingtung City), Tamsui (named after the Tamsui River) and Yushan (named after Yushan Mountain).

==Season summary==
The eighteen new castaways were divided into three tribes, Pingtung, Tamsui and Yushan. It quickly became apparent that Tamsui was the weakest of the three tribes, losing three of the first five immunity challenges, leaving just Aishani, Gary and Helen by Day 11. Yushan proved to be a physical powerhouse but suffered several injuries and illnesses, while Pingtung enjoyed early successes, remaining undefeated in challenges until Day 12. On Day 13, it was announced that the tribe that finished last in the reward challenge would be dissolved, and its members sent to the two other tribes. Tamsui lost the challenge and ceased to exist; Helen was sent to Yushan, Aishani to Pingtung, and Gary to Exile Island, later joining Pingtung after their first Tribal Council as a new tribe. Aishani quickly integrated herself into Pingtung's majority alliance, while Yushan was immediately suspicious of Helen and eliminated her at the first opportunity. Gary, who was out of the loop as a result of visiting Exile Island, became the Pingtung alliance's next target, but he tore his ACL during the final tribal immunity challenge and was evacuated from the game anyway.
The tribes merged with ten players remaining, split evenly between the two post-dissolve tribes. Liz, an outsider on Pingtung, openly flipped to the Yushan alliance, but her wavering loyalty was seen as dangerous, and she was immediately voted out. Although it appeared that Yushan had gained the upper hand, having five against the four former Pingtung members, David and Tracey, on the bottom of the Yushan alliance, flipped sides, using David's hidden immunity idol as leverage. The augmented Pingtung alliance then targeted Yushan alliance leader Emma. However, Emma had suspicions, and revealed her own hidden immunity idol, resulting in Rachel's elimination instead. David and Tracey were quickly outed as the renegades. Emma correctly inferred that David had an idol, and the Yushan alliance convinced David that they were targeting him, flushing his idol while voting out Stephanie. With the numbers now solidly in the Yushan alliance's favour, Emma and Matt decided to eliminate alliance flippers David and Tracey ahead of the remnants of the Pingtung alliance. At the final five, Eli and Aishani convinced Matt to vote out Bob, who was perceived as having floated his way through the game and was now seen as an easy person to defeat at the Final Tribal Council due to his dislikability.
Emma won the final immunity challenge, and convinced Eli to turn on his ally Aishani as she was perceived as the largest threat against the jury. Eli, Emma and Matt became the Final Three. At the Final Tribal Council, Matt was dismissed by the jury for his passive gameplay and general lack of self-awareness throughout the game. Eli was commended for his challenge prowess, contributions to camp and strong strategic play towards the end of the game, but the jury noted his weak social game, and his answers to the jury were seen as disingenuous and pandering. He was also heavily criticised for betraying Aishani at the final four. Emma was praised for her strong social connections to the jury and strategic dominance following the merge, and she became the Sole Survivor in a 5–2–0 vote.
