Vanua

**Highest Placing Member**: Igor (Runner-Up/20)

Vanua, originally labelled as 'Millennials' was a tribe from Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X.

An originally fun loving tribe, the Millennials only started playing the game once the tribes were switched. From that point one, it was sink or swim to ensure survival. In the end, Igor was the most successful as he made it to the end but was reprimanded for his passive strategy. Their tribe colour was orange.

## Tribe History

On Day 1, the Vanua tribe consisted of Millennials. Of the two tribes, it was clear this one was the more fun loving and physically gifted. All ten members were extremely tight with each other, playing games and forming relationships more genuine than just allies in an alliance. The fun continued for the tribe as they were able to win both immunity challenges they had together. Sarah and Gabe flirted with each other throughout this time. The athletic boys swam and fished for the group and everyone contributed fairly equally. Sensing that a tribe switch would be incoming, the entire Millennials tribe formed the Millennial Alliance with the intention of making the Final Ten as a tribe.

    The tribe expansion proved to be a difficult split for the Millennials. The new Vanua consisted of Aura, Cydney and Igor who remained from the original ten and were joined by Michael, Patricia and Peter. The three Millennials were a close bunch, but Cydney became increasingly annoyed with Igor's mannerisms and the fact he was talking to Michael and Peter more frequently. Vanua was lucky enough to win on days 10, 12 and 18 during their time as a group, but lost on Day 15 which happened to be a Double Tribal Council. When they lost, Cydney voted for Igor but the rest of the tribe banded together to vote her out, much to her surprise.

At this point, the tribes merged and Aura and Igor were reunited with the Millennials and Peter, Michael and Patricia with Gen X. After a constant shift in alliances, Michael was made the second member of the jury, Peter the third and Aura the fourth. Igor and Patricia made the Final Tribal Council, with Igor being praised for his passive gameplay whereas Patricia was praised for her crazy one. In the end, Patricia was seen as more of a power player and given the title of Sole Survivor.
