Gota

(also known as The Fans) is one of the two starting tribes from . Their tribe color is orange.
Despite early success in the first immunity challenge, Gota would go on a losing streak, and tensions rose between two alliances. After the tribe switch, Gota became a powerhouse in challenges, defeating the post-swap Bikal each time. But in the end, the original Fans were overwhelmed in numbers by the Favorites in a 8-4 ratio after the merge.
