Angkor Women

**Highest Ranked**: Ellody (4/22)

The Angkor Women was an alliance from Survivor: Cambodia.

This alliance was created after a third tribe was introduced in the middle of the game, a *Survivor* first. The girls connected over their pre-existing relationships and came into the merge with numbers. Despite this, mistrust within the alliance broke them until they were consecutively eliminated.

## History

### Origins

The gold Angkor tribe was formed on Day 11 of *Survivor: Cambodia* following the tribe expansion. The original Ta Keo members of Angkor, Danny, Ellody, Lacey and Miles, held the majority over Erin and Kitty from Bayon. However, Ellody and Kitty had a pre-existing relationship because they previously competed together during *Samoa*. At the Day 12 Double Tribal Council, Ellody convinced the original Ta Keo members on Angkor to save Kitty and eliminate Erin. After losing the following immunity challenge, the Angkor Women formed a close alliance and eliminated Danny.

### Tribe Dissolve

At the Final Fifteen, the Ta Keo tribe was dissolved. From the Angkor Alliance, Kitty and Lacey remained on Angkor. At their only tribal council on Day 16, Kitty thought her and Lacey were in trouble because they didn't have strong connections with the rest of the tribe. Kitty was told by the Bayon Alliance that she was originally the target, so she played her Hidden Immunity Idol. However, this was unnecessary because the Bayon Alliance turned on this plan in order to blindside Tim and dissolve the rival Ta Keo Alliance.

Meanwhile, Ellody and Miles were switched to Bayon. Miles managed to bring in Kelley into the Angkor Women's alliance because the pair had worked together on the original Ta Keo tribe. The girls also had an affiliation with Parvati because of her and Kelley's *Borneo* history. When Bayon went to tribal council on Day 19, the Angkor Women had the numbers and they eliminated Blake.

### The Merge

The tribes merged at the Final Thirteen, where the Angkor Women of Ellody, Kelley, Kitty, Lacey and Miles reconnected. It originally appeared that these women were in the minority because the original Bayon castaways had an overwhelming majority. Despite this, Bayon was divided along gender lines so the Angkor Women had the majority to eliminate Adam at the first merged tribal council. The women decided to work as a large voting bloc because they had a 9-3 majority over the Bayon Alliance of men. However, Ellody didn't think this was in the best interest for her Angkor Women. She was more confident in her smaller alliance, which was also aided by the fact that she found the tribes idol. At the Double Elimination on Day 23, the Angkor Women turned on this block of women by voting out Carrie and Louise respectively.

The five Angkor Women were at a stage by the Final Ten where they could force a tie at tribal council. Ellody and Kitty knew that Derrick, Pierre and Tyler had an almost inseparable relationship as part of the Bayon Alliance. Rather than disrespect this relationship, the women used Kelley's *Borneo* connection with Pierre to draw him to their side. At the following two tribal councils, Pierre voted with the Angkor Women to eliminate Parvati and Jefra and protect his Bayon Alliance of men.

### The Women Split

Ellody was beginning to formulate her path to the end and wanted to take Kitty and Pierre to the Final Tribal Council because they were viewed as the weakest strategically. The Angkor Women decided to vote for Tyler at the following tribal council, but Lacey was blindsided because Ellody and Kitty flipped with Pierre to work with the Bayon Alliance. This move ostracised Ellody and Kitty from the Angkor Women, who approached the Bayon Alliance in order to blindside Ellody. However, Ellody played her idol and Miles was voted out with the only two votes that counted.

The only remaining Angkor Women by the Final Six, Ellody, Kelley and Kitty, weren't working as a joined unit. Ellody and Kitty were isolated from the tribe once Kelley decided to work with the Bayon Alliance, but Ellody found the re-hidden idol. Unfortunately on Day 35, Ellody was left alone when the majority eliminated Kitty. At the Final Five, Ellody tried to get Kelley to vote for Pierre with her. However, she still played her idol because she was suspicious of Kelley and her relationships with the men. This led to Kelley's elimination because the Bayon Alliance split the votes. Ellody needed to win the final individual immunity challenge in order to get to the end for her Angkor Women, but was unsuccessful. She was voted out on Day 38 and joined the Angkor Women on the jury.
