Langkawi Men

**Highest Ranking Member**: Blue Jay (Winner/18)

The Langkawi Men was an alliance from Survivor: Malaysia.

This alliance was created by a trio of returning male players from the same season. They worked together until the switch, when the alliance turned on an untrustworthy ally. The men remained united against the women at the merge, where one veteran won the game for his excellent strategic game.

## History

### Origins

The red Langkawi tribe was formed on Day 1 of *Survivor: Malaysia* containing nine returning male *Survivor* players. Blue Jay, Callum and Rock had never worked together in the past, but decided to align because they all previously competed on *Worlds Apart*. Spud also became a member of the alliance because Rock and Spud were close friends prior to competing on the season. Blue Jay found the tribes Hidden Immunity Idol, but kept it secret because he wanted to keep some of his gameplay to himself. Langkawi won the first two immunity challenges due to their veteran experience, but lost for the first time on Day 9. The rival alliance had the numbers, but wrongfully split the votes. This gave the Langkawi Men the majority and they eliminated Jeremy.

### Tribe Switch

The gender divide twist officially ended when the final fourteen castaways were split between the Langkawi and Penang tribes. Callum, Rock and Spud from the Langkawi Men remained on Langkawi whilst being joined by four women from Penang. The men were in the minority, but there was tension between the Penang Women. When Langkawi lost their first challenge together on Day 15, they were shocked to find out it would be a Double Elimination. At the first vote, the men decided to work with Edith and Lily-Ann in order to eliminate Kimberly.

The men were expecting a 5-2 vote, but were suspicious when the vote was actually 4-3. Rock and Spud deduced that it was Callum who had turned on them and convinced their new female allies Edith and Lily-Ann to vote for Callum. Meanwhile, Blue Jay was the only member of the Langkawi Men to be switched to the yellow Penang tribe. Though the men had the numbers on Penang, Blue Jay chose to work with the Penang Women and eliminated Joey and Tommy.

### The Merge

The Langkawi Men then reconnected when the final ten castaways made the merge. The new tribe was split along gender lines despite the men and women working together during the tribe switch. This was an advantage for the men because the Penang Women were divided, which led to Lily-Ann's elimination. The men continued to have the majority at the second merged tribal council and decided to eliminate Edith.

The men had a clear majority over the women. However, Kieron and Liamm decided to make a move when there was another Double Elimination on Day 30. The Langkawi Men wanted to work with the Penang Women to vote out Kieron then Liamm. At the first tribal of the night, the women voted with Kieron and Liamm to eliminate Spud. This angered the Blue Jay and Rock, who were spared when Kieron and Liamm flipped back and voted out Aura. The men continued to work together at the following vote, where it was originally agreed they would be voting out Cara. She approached Blue Jay and Rock with the promise of a new alliance, so they switched the alliances vote to Tanya.

With only five castaways remaining, Blue Jay and Rock were confident they were in a comfortable position because they had Cara on one side whilst also working with Kieron and Liamm. The men decided to turn on Kieron and Liamm because they feared a tie at the Final Four. At tribal council, Blue Jay played his idol on himself because he wasn't sure he could fully trust Cara. This was unnecessary as Cara was loyal to the men and Liamm was the next person voted out. At the Final Four, Blue Jay and Rock decided to make a big move. They forced Cara and Kieron to vote for each other so they could compete in a fire-making challenge, which Cara won. When Blue Jay won the final individual immunity challenge, he decided to honour his loyalty to Rock by making Cara the final member of the jury. Ultimately, Blue Jay's knowledge about the dynamics of the tribe earned respect by the jury and he was awarded the title of Sole Survivor.
