## Tribe History

The teal Ta Keo tribe was formed on Day 1. They were a more unified bunch, with the castaways getting to know each other before forming alliances. The males and females began to form separate alliances but Rick and Ellody were not having any of it and made their own. Of the four challenges, Ta Keo had together, they only lost the second one. The two groups united under the Ta Keo Alliance in order to split the votes between Ellody and Rick in case either of them had found a Hidden Immunity Idol. Ellody and Rick voted for Carrie, the girls voted for Ellody but the men had the numbers and they voted out Rick.

In a shocking twist of the game, a third tribe was introduced and the remaining eighteen castaways were switched between Bayon, Ta Keo and the new Angkor tribe. The second iteration of Ta Keo included Blake, Carrie, Jeremy and Kelley from original Ta Keo as well as original Bayon members Derrick and Parvati. It should've been clear that Derrick and Parvati were in the minority, but this didn't happen. They pair brought in Kelley in their new alliance and were soon followed by Carrie and Blake. Of the two challenges the tribe had, Ta Keo only lost the Day 12 Double Tribal Council. Jeremy, knowing he was now on the outs tried to garner support. At tribal council, the alliance voted out Jeremy with the only other person voting for Blake being Parvati giving him a pity vote.

At this point, the Ta Keo tribe was dissolved and the rest of the castaways were split into Bayon and Angkor. Once the merge came along, the original Ta Keo alliance was put in the minority but survived some difficulties. Ellody was the highest ranking member of the tribe, coming fourth when she couldn't win the crucial final immunity challenge.
