## Season Summary

The season began with the contestants divided into tribes split by gender for the first time. The men's tribe, Yora, wearing magenta and the women's tribe, Piro, wearing green. On Yora, an alliance of four was formed, led by Jordin Tootoo and Luke Smith. However, Ryan Flores quickly emerged as the decision maker at two-thirds of the first three Tribal Councils. On Piro, a four woman alliance was formed, led by Sofia Gonzalez, but it was too early and the alliance was down to two before they reached the first Tribal Council, with Ga-Ram Chong shifting allegiances, the women still remained split and they were tied, before Robina Khan made the flip to avoid a deadlock.

On Day 13, Jordin and Amanda Phiri traveled to an isolated location to act as tribal ambassadors. The next day, they were forced to choose new tribes, equally distributing the men and the women. At the new Piro, Amanda pulls in the men to get her revenge on Cristina Papadopoulos. At Yora, Liisa Korhonen and Ga-Ram pull in the male outsider, Viktor Petrov, to force a tie - in the revote, Sofia flips to send Luke home before the merge and Jordin joins, to preserve his name moving forward.

When the tribes merge into Amahuaca, Ryan finds out his closest ally was taken out by Viktor and when Viktor plummets to the bottom and is voted out. Ga-Ram finds herself in a powerful position with multiple alliances, she decides to take out Amanda before she can go on a challenge winning streak, leaving Robina isolated. On Day 26, Jordin and Ryan dissolve their allegiance and Robina creates a new alliance with Ryan and Sofia, they manage to bring in Alfred van Dop and Jordin and take their first shot at the women's alliance, voting out Brig Gruber.

With Brig gone, Robina realized eliminating all the women who voted out Amanda wasn't in her best interest as Alfred was becoming a jury favourite. Robina forms a second alliance, this with Ga-Ram to form a dotted line to the women's alliance and they vote out Alfred. With six left, Jordin looked prime to go next, but when Liisa and Ryan argue, Ryan sets his sights on Liisa and Robina agrees when she realizes that it'll free up Ga-Ram to work with her exclusively. At the final five, Jordin was solo and Robina's only non-ally, but he wins Immunity and Robina is forced to turn on one of her own, she decided that it would burn the least amount of bridges if Ga-Ram is voted out and she claims 5th.

At the final four, Jordin won immunity, forcing the others to prematurely turn on themselves. After a major fight between Jordin and Sofia, the tribe unanimously agrees to unanimously vote out Sofia. Ryan would win his first Immunity and it guaranteed him a spot at Final Tribal Council, he ultimately chose to eliminate the hockey player and challenge beast, Jordin.

Facing the jury, Ryan was praised for his challenge prowess and strategic gameplay. On the other hand, Robina was praised for her strategic moves and outside of one misplay, she bounced back and had every vote go her way. Robina was voted to become the Sole Survivor in a vote of 5-2.
