Survivor Enderron: New Zealand is the first season of the Enderronian competitive reality television series Survivor Enderron. Filming took place on the Coromandel Peninsula, on the North Island of New Zealand, from 2 March to 9 April 2015. The season premiered on 20 September 2015, and aired weekly until the live finale on 20 December 2015. To date, it is the southernmost Survivor Enderron season, located well outside the tropical zone.
The 18 contestants were initially separated into three tribes, named Moana, Rangi and Whenua (Māori for "ocean", "sky" and "land" respectively). When 14 contestants remained, the Rangi tribe was disbanded and the contestants were shuffled into two new tribes. When ten contestants remained, the two tribes merged into the Ngatahi tribe (Māori for "together").
In the final episode, Karen Higuchi was named the "Sole Survivor", defeating Nick Zhang and Jack Florentino in a 4–3–0 jury vote.
==Contestants==
Notable contestants this season include former Enderronian Rugby League player Jack Florentino and actress Courtney Hunt.

==Season summary==
Eighteen new castaways were divided into three tribes of six: Moana, Rangi and Whenua. The Rangi tribe struggled early on, losing three of the first four immunity challenges and being reduced to only Ben, Jack and Karen. The Whenua tribe, only lost one member, Bill, while the Moana tribe went undefeated in challenges. On Day 11, with fourteen players remaining, the castaways were shuffled into two tribes of seven. The new Moana tribe was split among original tribal lines and featured Adam, Hannah and Nick from the old Moana, Ben and Karen from Rangi, and Courtney and Pete from Whenua. The new Whenua tribe was evenly divided between three former Moana (Doc, Lauren and Zoe), three former Whenua (Jenni, Sharita and Vince), and Jack from Rangi. On both tribes, former members of Rangi and Whenua plotted to systematically vote out members of the old Moana tribe, who at this point had yet to go to tribal council. On Moana, Adam was the first victim of this plan when the former Whenua and Rangi members banded together against the three Moana. On Whenua, Jack decided to side with the former Whenua, after Lauren from old Moana defected to their side. Zoe and Doc from the old Moana were eliminated in succession by the new alliance.
The tribes merged with ten players remaining: five apiece from each tribe. With the original Moana tribe mostly depleted, new allegiances formed around the shuffled tribes from Day 11. While the shuffled tribes looked like they were going to stick together, Vince persuaded Nick to swap alliances, which he did, eliminating Courtney and putting the Whenua alliance in control. Despite being in the majority, the alliance suffered from severe internal conflict, due to a lack of trust between members. Before the next tribal council, the alliance split into two factions centred around Jack and Sharita. Karen, of the post-shuffle Moana alliance, joined forces with Sharita's faction to eliminate outsider Ben, while Jack's faction targeted Sharita in a failed attempt to blindside her. As the game progressed into its later stages, the Whenua alliance alternated between voting out the remaining outsiders and cannibalising itself, while Karen and Nick formed a tight partnership and were able to successfully navigate between the two Whenua factions. A pivotal moment in the game was on Day 37, when Karen and Nick successfully convinced Sharita to blindside potential jury threat Lauren at the final five.
At the final four, Nick edged out Sharita to win individual immunity. At the following tribal council, Karen and Nick voted for Sharita, while Sharita was able to secure the vote of former rival Jack to force a tie by voting against Karen. Karen ultimately won the fire-making tiebreaker, joining Nick and Jack in the Final Three. At the Final Tribal Council, Jack was mostly ignored by the jury for his arrogance and brash attitude during the game, while Nick was lambasted for betraying his initial alliance. Karen was praised for her social game, but criticised for flip-flopping between alliances. In the end, Karen defeated Nick and Jack in a 4–3–0 vote to become the Sole Survivor.
