Heroes Tribe

The **Heroes Tribe**, also referred to as the **Azul Tribe** before the tribe swap, was one of the two premerge tribes in Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. Like the other tribe, they succeeded at challenges, but there was an overarching alliance that took over the tribe very early on before its' early demise. They would gain much success after the swap.

## Tribe History

At the start of the game, the tribes were originally thought to be the Heroes vs. the Villains. However, the players got a good shake when they found out that they were going to be mixed amongst the two tribes. Alongside returning player Bri; Dion, Elizabeth, Jake, Kaleb, Michael, and couple Kathy and Nathan were selected to be on the Azul Tribe, and the lines were drawn quickly. Michael formed the *Darlington* Alliance very early on with Elizabeth, Kaleb, and Bri in order to ensure the majority, while the guys decided to form a counter-alliance. After the Azul Tribe narrowly lost the first immunity challenge, both sides found themselves vying for Kathy's vote, as she was contemplating between going with the *Darlington* Alliance to vote off Dion or going with her boyfriend's alliance to vote out Elizabeth. To avoid a tie, she decided to vote with Michael's alliance and she helped to vote Dion off. The *Darlington* Alliance had taken over the tribe, and they would continue to find success as they would win the second immunity challenge. Kathy would also find her own success, as she would find the hidden immunity idol that was hidden in their camp.

After the swap, Bri, Jake, and Kaleb saw a drastic change in their tribe, as they lost Elizabeth, Kathy, Michael, and Nathan, but gained Bailey, Cody, Darius, and Kyle. The Azul Tribe was even gifted a new name, and they would now be referred to as the Heroes Tribe. Right away, Bri and Kaleb knew they were in trouble without their alliance, and Bri and Kaleb attempted to make their won connections to weave themselves out of their new predicament. They would be able to get some spare time though, as they would win the third immunity challenge. Jake however would find himself in a much better position, as more people would want to work with him than before.

When the Heroes Tribe lost the fourth immunity challenge, all eyes were locked on Kaleb. Bri was able to gain favor with the men in her tribe to get her safety and she was able to align quickly with Bailey. However, this did not save Bailey from being a target, as she was still suffering the aftereffects of Seth's voteoff as not many people trusted her in the game by that point. Jake and Cody would hear Kaleb's argument for why they should vote Bailey over him, and although they would vote with him, Kaleb would not be able to secure the vote of his former ally, Bri, and he was the next person voted out in a close 4-3 vote. The Heroes Tribe would have a guaranteed path to the merge, as the Heroes Tribe would win the fifth and final immunity challenge of the tribal phase of the season. After the Villains Tribe voted out Elizabeth at that tribal council, both tribes would come together for the merge.
