## Season Summary

The series premiere began with twenty-four people divided into three tribes, 忍耐 , 整合性 , and ロイヤリティ. The season kicked off with major blindsides, the first vote of the season sending Kaidin home with an idol in their pocket. Nick was idoled out by Eunice on Day 5, and Matthew Chen was sent home 7-5 in a joint tribal on Day 6. After the Tribe Swap on Day 6, the four tribes were forced to participate in a Triple Tribal, where Lily, Joey, and Morgan were all sent home on Day 8. On Day 10, Brian was idoled out with one vote against him by Alec.

After the second Tribe Swap, Julia was sent home in a dramatic ceremony 8-5-1-1-1 on Day 12, followed by Alec on Day 13, and Katie on Day 15. On Day 14, Nick won his way back into the game. With Katie going home, there were no more Sole Survivors in the cast. The tribes merged on Day 15.

The merge started off with voting blocks, where Jack was voted out on Day 16 in a 6-4-3-1 vote. Michael was then idoled out on Day 17 in a 4\*-4-3-2 vote. Payton was given the chop on Day 18 in a 4\*-(2\*-2)-4 vote. Nick quit the game on Day 21, becoming the first and only player to ever quit/be pulled twice, proving he never has or will change. The rest of the merge was a mangled mess, with these being the vote counts:

Natalie spent most of the game building her connections and forming connections with players, and with voting incorrectly three times out of the first four merge tribals, it wasn't looking great. Her luck changed however when Eunice was voted out on Day 23 in a 3-3-2 -> 6-0 vote, and when Garret made a gruesome mistake by attempting to play his advantage at the wrong time on Day 25, leading to Dog Mathew's infamous 3-2-1-1 blindside. Her luck continued to grow when she won the remaining three out of four immunities, bringing her total to five across the season.

Natalie won final immunity, sending Mary against Mekhi, where Mary beat an infamously high Mekhi.

At Final Tribal Council, the energy was directed towards Natalie, mainly with praise and questions about her strategy, where Garret was asked about his social game and "dumb" moves. He held his ground, and Natalie tended to wounds, influencing jurors to vote her way. Natalie ended the night with the crown with a 7-3-0 jury vote.
