Airai Women's Alliance

**Highest Ranked**: Cecilia (Winner/20)

The Airai Women's Alliance was an alliance from Survivor: Micronesia.

Created after combining the women of the Airai tribe with a secret power couple, the alliance soon crumbled after the couple was exposed by the rest of the alliance. This signalled the beginning of the end for the alliance, as they were quickly decimated during the tribe switch.

## History

### Origins

The orange Airai tribe was formed on Day 1 of *Survivor: Micronesia*, comprised of ten die-hard fans of *Survivor*. With no previous relationships like their rival tribe of Favourites, these new players relied on slowly developing relationships over the next few days of the game. Whilst the tribe soon divided along gender lines, Lily and Tristan formed a secret Final Two deal and were considering whether to join forces with the men or the women. At their first loss on Day 6, the couple decided it would be easier to defeat the women over the physically dominant men and they voted with the Airai women to eliminate Zac.

### Blindside #1

Over the next couple of days, Belle, Cecilia, Emma and Kaylee began to notice that Lily was also tightly connected to Tristan in addition to the Airai Women's Alliance. They thought it was in their best interest to blindside Tristan if Airai was to lose again in order to ensure that Lily would solely rely on them and be less willing to flip on the dwindling male minority. As a precaution, Cecilia went looking for and found the Airai Hidden Immunity Idol. When Airai lost their second challenge in a row, the girls told Tristan that Mason was their target. However, the four women and a reluctant Lily blindsided Tristan.

### The Switch

At the tribe switch, Belle, Cecilia and Lily were switched to the rival Malakal tribe whilst Emma and Kaylee remained on Airai. On Malakal, Cecilia abandoned both Belle and Lily in order to work with the Palau Alliance. After losing their majority, Belle and Lily could do nothing but plead to the minority Favourite castaways. However, this was unsuccessful and Lily and Belle were voted out on Days 17 and 19 respectively. Meanwhile on the new Airai tribe, Kaylee was suffering from severely infected bug bites and was visited by the medical team on Day 15. They determined she required urgent medical attention and she was medically evacuated. Kaylee's exit left Emma on the outs of the Favourite dominated Airai tribe. Luckily for her, Emma managed to form a friendship with Jaclyn and was able to convince her to vote out Mason when Airai attended tribal council on Day 19.

### Reunited?

When the tribes merged on Day 20, Emma and Cecilia managed to meet up with each other after suffering the loss of three of the Airai Women. Both women shared that they had been working with the Palau Alliance and agreed together that it was in their best interest to continue working with them for the time being. With the numbers, the Airai Women voted with the Palau Alliance to send Gloss, Arthur, Rachel and Katniss to the jury over the next nine days. The duo permanently separated with only seven castaways remaining, because Emma voted with Brendan and Wyatt to vote out Cecilia whilst Cecilia voted with the rest of the tribe to eliminate Wyatt.
