Mutiny Alliance

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

The Mutiny Alliance was an alliance from Survivor: Borneo.

This alliance was created after two castaways mutinied to the rival tribe. This pair controlled their new tribe, and continued to assert their dominance throughout the merge. However, the castaways lacked trust and continued to blindside each other and none of them ultimately won the game as a result.

## History

### Origins

On Day 13 of *Survivor: Borneo*, Clara and Kelley from the yellow Pagong tribe took the offer to mutiny to the rival Tagi tribe. This gave Tagi a numbers advantage for the first time in the entire game. Clara and Kelley mutinied in order to build new relationships and have an advantage over their original Pagong Alliance by the time the tribes merged. They firstly recognised that Neha and Shilpa were in a tight pairing and offered a new alliance with them. The girls refused because they thought the Tagi Alliance would vote together to get rid of the mutinying women. Clara and Kelley didn't like this response and made a more solid relationship with Parvati and Pierre. When Tagi lost their first immunity challenge, the original Tagi players were set on getting rid of Kelley. However, the Mutiny Alliance was created when Parvati and Pierre flipped to blindside Shilpa.

Tagi continued their losing streak and were forced to vote out another player on Day 17. The alliance originally planned on voting for Logan because he was a bigger physical threat than Neha. However, Clara and Kelley became concerned that Parvati and Pierre were trying to revolt against the alliance. This was a correct read, because Parvati and Pierre gathered Logan and Neha to go after the women. At tribal council, Clara and Kelley voted for Parvati, Logan and Pierre voted for Kelley and Neha and Parvati voted for Pierre as intended throwaway votes. At the revote, only Clara, Logan and Neha could vote. The trio formed a temporary truce to keep both Kelley and Parvati in the game, leading to Pierre's elimination.

### The Merge

After a much needed immunity challenge win, the remaining ten castaways merged into the green Rattana tribe. Clara and Kelley didn't fully trust the Tagi castaways, but the girls knew that Tagi didn't have any connections with Pagong. This meant that the Mutiny Alliance could at least force a tie at the first merged tribal council. However, Clara and Kelley had worked with Cami as part of the Pagong Alliance. Cami decided to flip and work with them because she was the only woman left in the Pagong Alliance. At the first merged tribal council, the Mutiny Alliance had the numbers and they blindsided Zane. The alliance only extended their lead when Calum was unfortunately medically evacuated due to dehydration.

Clara and Kelley were worried by the Final Eight because they didn't want three Tagi members working together as the numbers continued to dwindle. The five castaways of the Mutiny Alliance worked together to blindside Logan, whom Clara and Kelley felt least connected to. The Mutiny Alliance had a 5-2 majority over Dimitri and Mikey from the Pagong Alliance. Clara and Kelley considered themselves the biggest strategists of the game and wanted to make another big move. They convinced Neha and Parvati to cut their numbers once more, leading to Cami's elimination.

### Blindsides and Betrayals

At the Final Six, Clara and Kelley were pleased with their standings in the game and thought now was the time to go after Dimitri and Mikey. There were murmurs that Neha was going to flip on Parvati, so she was worried enough to play her Hidden Immunity Idol at tribal council. This proved to be her saving grace because she avoided a tie and Dimitri became the fourth member of the jury. For turning on the Mutiny Alliance, Clara and Kelley worked with Mikey to eliminate Neha.

The Final Four included Clara, Kelley, Mikey and Parvati. It appeared that the Mutiny Alliance would work together once more in order to go after Mikey, but he won the next individual immunity challenge. Parvati decided now was the time to split up Clara and Kelley, which would've forced a tie. However, Clara flipped on her closest ally because she needed the moves they made together to be hers if she was to make it to the end. Clara won the final individual immunity challenge and decided to cut her final ally Parvati. The original Tagi castaways appreciated Clara's gameplay, but both Cami and Kelley were bitter that Clara had turned on them. This meant that she became the Runner-Up against Mikey in a 4-3 vote.
