Ho-Chunk Tribe

The **Ho-Chunk Tribe** was one of the two premerge tribes in Survivor: Twist Manor. Selected by Darius White, the Ho-Chunk Tribe was very dominant, as the members worked well together and formed an alliance that would take over the game.

## Tribe History

At the start of the game, Darius White would pick one of the right balls out of the bag and he would be given the right to select the Ho-Chunk Tribe. With this, Darius would be given individual immunity from the first tribal council he went to. While Hailey would make a few questionable picks for the Potowatomi Tribe, Darius would handpick Nathan, Hunter, Kyle S., Juice, and finally Rob. Rob's selection would send Richie to the Solo Room, where he would be exiled from both tribes until a tribe eliminated someone, and Richie would come in to replace that person on the tribe. The Ho-Chunk Tribe would immediately come together once they went into their camp to make a pact, stick together until the very end. They nicknamed their new alliance the *Dudewipes Alliance* and they then decided to search for the hidden immunity idol to help further their dominance over the other tribe. However, what they did not know is that Darius was still out for himself, and he had found and hid the hidden immunity idol in his bag the second they got to their camp. The men would have nothing to worry about though, as they would all win the first immunity challenge in a near landslide against the Potowatomi Tribe, who only got one point. The Ho-Chunk Tribe would use the time to bond with each other and make their alliance stronger than ever heading into the next immunity challenge, where communication and trust was necessary. The tribe would pick two callers and four people to be blindfolded in pairs and find four bags to bring back to their area. The callers were Hunter and Nathan, with Kyle S. and Rob being one blindfolded pair and Darius and Juice as the other blindfolded pair. They would win the next immunity challenge very quickly when compared to their opponents, who only had half of their bags by the time the men had finished the challenge. The Ho-Chunk Tribe would be given the opportunity to send the next person to the Solo Room, in which they would select Tom, as he was already on the outs on the Potowatomi Tribe.

Before the third immunity challenge, both tribes would find out that they would all be swapped into two tribes of ten, with the person who picked the unmarked ball being sent to the Solo Room until they replace the person who would be the next to be voted out. The Ho-Chunk Tribe would lose Juice, Kyle S., and Nathan, who would be swapped to the Potowatomi Tribe. This left Darius, Hunter, and Rob with Breanne and Richie, who both swapped over from the Potowatomi Tribe. However, this time the three men would have to hold a concern over the next tribal, as they would lose the next immunity challenge. When they got back to camp, everyone was immediately approached by Richie who dumped his bag for them out of paranoia and told them that he does not have any hidden immunity idol or advantage from the Solo Room. Darius and Hunter would take advantage of this and would take Richie in for that tribal. The two men convinced Rob that Richie was not as big of a threat as Breanne was for her winning game in *Survivor: Battle for Cambridge*. Even though Rob questioned Richie's future in the game and an opportunity to work with Breanne and Richie to blindside Hunter, he would ultimately get Richie to vote with him and the men would vote Breanne out in a 4-1 vote.

After they returned to camp, Jack was sent in from the Solo Room to take Breanne's spot on the Ho-Chunk. Jack would immediately talk to Darius, and Jack gave him a half of his half-idol and the two men made a deal, if they lost, Richie would be taken out and if they both survived then the two halves of the hidden immunity idol they had would become a full hidden immunity idol that would fall back in Jack's hands. Darius would then talk to Hunter and Rob and they would agree to the plan. Unfortunately for them, Richie would help them with the next immunity challenge, and he, Darius, and Jack, would finish their puzzle before the Potowatomi Tribe, keeping Richie safe until the merge. Before they left the challenge area, they would be given another opportunity to send the next person to the Solo Rom, and the trio would send Michael to the Solo Room in hopes that their allies would know that Michael is the one they should send out of the game. When they got back to camp, Richie would immediately campaign for an alliance with the others on their tribe in the merge to work together, and he campaigned about Nathan's status in the game as a strategic threat, and the other four men discussed Michael's increasing status in the game as a strategic threat.

Unfortunately, the other tribe would end up loosing Juice at their tribal council when Michael would use his advantage that he got from the Solo Room to coerce Nathan to vote with him using the threat of a tiebreaker after a tied vote. Luckily for them, Juice would get a chance to get back into the game in a comeback competition with the other previously eliminated contestants, and Juice would win the challenge and win his way back into the game. After this, the remaining men on the Ho-Chunk Tribe would merge with Juice and the other remaining members of the Potowatomi Tribe and they would all finish the game together as one tribe.
