## Season Summary

The contestants started off with a challenge to determine the two team captains, with Knuckles and Vector coming out on top.  They were each allowed to pick their first and last team members, but had to pick each other's team members in between.  Early on the Chao tribe was clearly the stronger of the two, only having to go to tribal council once, where Rogue was voted out after Eggman became bothered by her close alliance with Shadow.  On the Chaos tribe, Vector early on tried to establish a "Strong Men" alliance that consisted of himself, Espio, Big the Cat, and Omega, with Jet on the outside.  Jet resented his position though, and Big was more loyal to Amy and Cream, and the two deciced to vote out Vector's closest ally Espio, feeling they needed Vector for the challenges.  After losing again, Amy and her alliance determined Vector expendable but Jet once again felt himself on the outside and convinced Tails was too due to Big's close loyalty to Amy.  Big was voted out despite being one of their stronger challenge contribubtor's and unsurprisingly the Chaos tribe lost again.  Tails and Jet found themselves stuck between voting for Vector or Amy, but ultimately voted for Amy, much to Tail's chagrin. Jet ultimately that Amy was the bigger threat due to stronger ties she had on the other tribe, and refused to vote against Vector, causing Tails to relent in order to avoid a tie vote.

On Day 15 their was a tribe swap based on how tribe member's were ranked by their respective tribe.  The top half were put on the Chao tribe, with the bottom half put in the Chaos tribe.  SIlver and Vector were ranked in the middle and competed in a challenge where the winner would join the Chao tribe (which Silver won).  The Chaos Tribe continued to struggle in challenges, even after first voting out consistent challenge liabiliy Cream.  Blaze was set to go home next, but had an immunity idol she planned to use to send Vector home. Shadow trusted Vector more then Eggman though, who he still held a grudge against, and caused a tie vote between Vector and Eggman, that spared Vector and sent Eggman home during the revote.  The Chao tribe lost the final challenge before the merge, and with Sonic's heroes alliance clearly having the numbers, the vote came down between Omega and Metal Sonic, with Omega being sent home.

When the tribes merged, Sonic and Shadow each came after each other with their respective alliances, with both courting Blaze to their side.  Despite her close ties to Silver, she ultimately sided with Shadow who had been building trust with her since Rogue's elimination.  They voted for Tails believing he'd be the last person to have an idol played for him.  Sure enough they were right, with Tails playing his own idol for Sonic, becoming the first member of the Jury.  Blaze worked to reconcile her relationship with Silver and promised him that after Sonic and Knuckles were voted out, Vector and Jet would be voted out next.  Shadow became concerned with Blaze's relationship with Silver, and blindsided her by voting Silver out next.  Completely betrayed, Blaze tried to convince Vector and Jet to blindside Shadow, but Vector instead rallied his alliance to vote out Blaze, much to the annoyance of Shadow who wanted Sonic voted out.  With Vector starting to emerge as a strategic threat again, Shadow decided to work with Sonic & Knuckles to send Vector home.  Jet once again found himself in the middle of two alliances but decided to stay loyal to Shadow and Metal Sonic, percieving them to be easier to beat in the end over Sonic and Knuckles, and the two were sent home respectively.  Shadow won the final individual immunity challenge, but chose to send Metal Sonic to the jury over Jet, beleiving Metal Sonic to be a guaranteed vote in his corner.

At the final tribal Shadow was praised for strategically being ahead of everyone else in the game and being in control of several votes, but several jury members were upset being betrayed by him and felt that he had a poor social game.  Jet was praised for his strategic maneuvering and social game early on, but some felt his overall gameplay declined as the game went on.  Jet ultimately won in a vote of 4-3.
