Naviti

**Highest Placing Member**:Tito (Sole Survivor/20)

Naviti was a tribe from Survivor: Ghost Island.

Despite originally uniting to dominate against their rivals, the Naviti tribe was divided into small groups. This created unique dynamics when Naviti split during the Tribe Expansion, as these groups turned on each other in order to establish their relationships for the merge. Their tribe colour was purple.

## Tribe History

The purple Naviti tribe was formed on Day 1 of *Survivor: Ghost Island*. A number of pairs were established during the first few days of the game, including brute strength Frank and Tito, the outspoken Krystal and Toya as well as the youngest men of the tribe, Jacob and Vincent. After Naviti won the first challenge of the season, Samir was sent to Ghost Island and defeated Tariq from the rival Malolo tribe in order to obtain a clue to the Secret Hidden Immunity Idol that was hidden at tribal council. On Day 5, Tito found the Naviti idol at camp and was forced to share half with another player for 24 hours in order to activate its full power. He decided to share the idol with Frank in order to strengthen their relationship. Abigail was then sent to Ghost Island with Big T after Naviti won the next immunity challenge, but lost the duel. Upon her return to camp, Frank and Tito formed a tight alliance with Abigail and Samir in order to gain intel on their Ghost Island experiences. Joyce was sent to Ghost Island after Naviti lost their first challenge on Day 9. Although she lost the duel and her right to vote at her next tribal council, she skipped tribal council by staying on Ghost Island. Back at camp, Jacob and Vincent tried to target Abigail because she was the strongest woman of the tribe and they believed she won an advantage on Ghost Island. Krystal, Narinder and Toya recognised Jacob was in the minority and tried to throw him under the bus, but the majority eliminated Narinder because they worried she would play an under the radar game to the end.

At the Tribe Expansion on Day 10, Vincent became the Captain of the new Naviti tribe and randomly selected Abigail, Jacob, Krystal, Tangaroa (nicknamed 'Big T') and Tito to join this tribe. The tribe dynamics seemed clear from the start, with Big T seen as the crucial swing vote between Abigail/ Tito and Jacob/ Vincent for being the only original Malolo player to switch to Naviti. Meanwhile, Krystal was viewed as an outsider from these pairs because she had lost her original Naviti allies Joyce and Toya. Krystal's power grew when she was sent to Ghost Island on Day 12, and won an Idol Nullifier after defeating Isaac and Luna in the duel. This gave Krystal the confidence to align with Jacob and Vincent in order to force a 3-3 tie against the growing trio of Abigail, Tito and Big T. However, this plan fell through and Krystal was voted out because Vincent was sent to Ghost Island when Naviti lost immunity on Day 14. With only five castaways remaining on Naviti, the pairs still viewed Big T as a swing vote they needed to flip to their side. He felt closer to Abigail and Tito, though his decision was further motivated when he realised Vincent had lost his vote on Ghost Island. When Naviti lost again on Day 17, Big T voted with Abigail and Tito to eliminate Vincent. After winning the following immunity challenge, Abigail, Big T, Jacob and Tito reunited with the rest of the Final Thirteen and the tribes merged on Day 20.
