Bayon

**Highest Placing Member**: Derrick (Sole Survivor/22)

Bayon was a tribe from Survivor: Cambodia.

The tribe was the weaker of the two during the early stages of the game, although many alliances were formed and switched. Once the tribe expansion came, the castaways excelled and dominated. In another twist, the post-dissolve Bayon lost one challenge and got rid of an expendable player and came into the merge with power. Their tribe colour was pink.

## Tribe History

The pink Bayon tribe was formed on Day 1. As soon as the eleven castaways got onto the beach, alliances began to form and targets were painted on some castaways. Alexander was on the outs early on for playing in his first season so much earlier than the rest of the tribe. Derrick, Pierre and Tyler made a Final Three deal. In order to gain numbers, the trio also brought along Angus. All women, besides Erin, also formed another alliance. Erin was then on the outs along with Alexander. When Bayon lost the first immunity challenge, Erin voted for Angus, Alexander voted for Jefra, the four boys voted for Erin but the women had the majority and sent home Alexander.

After an immunity challenge win, the Bayon Alliance of Angus, Derrick, Pierre and Tyler managed to bring in Erin, Harry Amelia and Parvati. At their next loss on Day 7, they were planning on voting for Louise. However, Angus told the men that they could work together and execute their plan from Day 3 to flip on Erin. Derrick and Tyler told Erin and Parvati of this plan and they had the numbers to blindside Angus. Derrick and Tyler's alliance then brought in Louise. On Day 10, the tribe lost again. Kitty voted alone for Louise whilst the trio of Pierre, Jefra and Harry Amelia voted for Kitty. However, the majority of five chose who to get rid of and that was Harry Amelia.

    On Day 11, the remaining eighteen castaways were split into three tribes, a new twist in the game. Jefra, Louise, Pierre and Tyler remained on Bayon and were joined by original Ta Keo members, Adam and Tim. Of the two challenges the tribe had together, Bayon won both of them. Adam and Tim united and planned on voting with each other. Jefra, Pierre, Tyler and Louise were in the majority and wanted to take each other to the end with their Final Four deal.

At this point, the Ta Keo tribe was dissolved and the remaining castaways split into Bayon and Angkor. The new Bayon tribe included original member Parvati, post-dissolve members Louise and Tyler as well as original Ta Keo members Blake, Miles, Ellody and Kelley. Adam and Blake had a good relationship going from their original time on Ta Keo, as was the same case for Louise and Tyler. Prior to this dissolve, Ellody and Miles had an alliance with the women from Angkor aptly titled the Angkor Women. The pair brought along Parvati and Kelley in order to gain a majority. At their loss on Day 19, the women voted out Blake to ensure the women would have more number going into the merge, which occurred the following day.
