Survivor Enderron: Fiji is the fifth season of the Enderronian competitive reality television series Survivor Enderron. Filming took place on the island of Vanua Levu in Fiji, from 27 May to 4 July 2019. The season premiered on 8 September 2019, and aired weekly until the live finale on 22 December 2019.
The 20 contestants were initially separated into two tribes: Mana (Fijian for "power"), composed of ten everyday Enderronians who constantly have to overcome obstacles in life, and Vuku (Fijian for "ability"), composed of ten high achievers who have used their advantages in life to excel in their fields. When 12 contestants remained, the two tribes merged into the Bula Bula tribe (Fijian for "hello").
In the final episode, Steph Braithwaite was named the "Sole Survivor", defeating Garrett Lindeman and Sandra Oshiro in a 7–1–1 vote.
==Contestants==
Notable contestants this season include singer-songwriter Carly Taylor, stage actor Jeff Scanlon, retired rower Joanne Lieu and Enderronian Basketball League player Lawrence Yang.

==Season summary==
Twenty new castaways were divided into two tribes based on adversity in life: Mana (underdogs) and Vuku (overachievers). They were also introduced to the concept of "Exile Island" with the promise of a hidden immunity idol located somewhere on it, while one person from the losing tribe at challenges would be sent to the island and given clues to look for it. The Vuku tribe physically dominated the early challenges, but suffered from dissension among its members, while the Mana tribe prevailed in tribal unity but experienced a string of injuries in challenges and at camp. After three castaways were eliminated, the remaining 17 were shuffled into new tribes of eight; the Mana tribe entered the switch down in numbers. Mana member Chris randomly selected the black buff and was sent to Exile Island, to later join the tribe that lost the next immunity challenge. Original Vuku members held a 5–3 majority on the new Mana tribe, and after losing the first post-switch immunity challenge, voted accordingly along tribal lines. The new Mana tribe proved to be much weaker than the new Vuku tribe, losing five immunity challenges in a row. The Vukus generally stuck together despite internal conflicts and systematically voted out the Mana minority, blindsiding one of their own, Joanne, along the way.
The tribes merged with twelve players remaining: eight original Vuku and four original Mana. While the Manu core alliance, consisting of Garrett, Karen, Sandra and Steph, stuck together, the Vukus fractured into two factions: those who remained at the Vuku camp for the entire pre-merge (Carly, Fred, Lawrence and Monica), and those who were switched to Mana (Audrey, Jeff, Kat and Shawn). Fearing the appearance of a hidden immunity idol, the two Vuku factions split their votes between Garrett and Steph. However, Audrey and Kat, who believed they were on the outs of their alliance, joined with the Mana alliance at the last minute, and Monica was blindsided. To secure their votes at future tribal councils, the Manas decided to reveal the hidden immunity idol to Audrey and Kat; this ultimately backfired, as Kat reneged back to her original alliance. At the following tribal council, the Vukus bluffed the Manas into thinking they were voting for Steph, while in reality they banded together and voted Karen out, flushing out the idol in the process. The remaining Mana trio of Garrett, Sandra and Steph convinced Audrey, Jeff and Shawn to join them in eliminating Kat, whose unpredictable gameplay had proven dangerous. The two factions then joined together in systematically eliminating the remnants of Lawrence's alliance. However, their plans were halted when Lawrence won three immunity challenges in a row. Jeff betrayed his faction and sided with the Manu trio to vote out Shawn and Audrey, who were perceived to be the biggest threats. With the Manu alliance now in control of the game, Steph ended Lawrence's immunity streak at the final five, where he was promptly eliminated, followed by Jeff at the final four.
The tight trio of Garrett, Sandra and Steph, formed the final three. At the Final Tribal Council, the alliance was commended for reaching the finals against the odds. The jury recognised Steph as the strategic leader of the Mana alliance and praised her social game. Garrett was criticised for his manipulative gameplay and poor social connections with the rest of the tribe, while Sandra was seen as a coattail rider who had little influence over how the game panned out. Ultimately, Steph was named the Sole Survivor over Garrett and Sandra by a vote of 7–1–1.
