Junkanoo

Junkanoo is one of 2 starting tribes in Marvivor: Andros Island. Their tribe colour is dark green.

## Synopsis

The Junkanoo tribe started off with a fairly weak showing, losing the first challenge to the Goombay tribe. Before that, William was messaging several people to take out Bronco before the challenge was even posted. This put a massive target on his back. After the challenge, a majority alliance consisting of Molly, Bronco, Rat, Nam, and Eddie was created, and Bronco relentlessly targeted William for throwing his name out. However, Molly suggested voting for Birdy instead, as he was extremely inactive and had done almost nothing to help the tribe in the first challenge. The majority was very receptive to this idea, and spread it around. This caused Andrew to preemptively lock in a vote for Birdy, which would later prove to be a fatal mistake. Bronco decided to leak the vote to Birdy, which was quickly found out by most of the tribe. This immediately caused Birdy to begin scrambling, and he made an alliance without any consent. Meanwhile, Rat slept through the chaos. Because of Bronco's cockiness and insanity, this caused Molly and Nam to find common ground, thus starting their iconic partnership. Birdy and Andrew managed to scramble hard enough to briefly put the vote onto William, but due to Andrew's locked vote, the vote had to stay on Birdy. Birdy and Bronco had a fight at Tribal, which put everyone off, and when Rat came online, he ended the chaos by finally voting out Birdy unanimously.

They then lost their second challenge in a row, Semantris, partially due to William not submitting a score, and receiving a strike. Molly and Nam scored the highest for their tribe, and this proved their worth as the top of the tribe. Bronco once again relentlessly targeted William, but Rat shifted the target onto Andrew, due to him having multiple friends on the other tribe, and also their rivalry in another ORG. Bronco reluctantly decided to let it slide, and Molly and Nam were not opposed, due to Andrew's particularly weak social game. This spread to most of the tribe, however, everyone apparently forgot to tell Lycan, due to his abhorrent social game. This resulted in a 6-2 blindside, with both Andrew and Lycan voting for William, but in the end, Andrew was voted out of the game in 17th place.

Lycan then found a hidden immunity idol via the safari, and was ready to use it at any cost. This would have been a bit crazy, especially considering Lycan was the likely target at Junkanoo's next tribal council for his horrible social game. The next challenge was a scavenger hunt, and while Goombay had an early lead, Molly absolutely dominated the challenge, scoring 15 out of the tribe's 25 total points. This only increased their social standing in the tribe, and they cemented themself at the top of Junkanoo.

The tribes then swapped, with Junkanoo maintaining a 5-2 majority, at the cost of Molly and Rat being swapped to the Goombay tribe. Arash's godly social game got him out of an extremely large hole, and he ended up taking the Greed necklace at the next challenge, giving him individual immunity, but making his tribe lose the challenge. However, Eggy was at Exile, meaning he would later join the tribe after someone was voted out. This proves to later be fatal. Luke was immediately under fire for his less active nature and less than good social game. Arash temporarily rallied enough troops to blindside Lycan, for his still horrible social game. However, like I said, Eggy's exile trip proved to be fatal for Luke, as he had the power to either vote, or block a vote. He ended up blocking Eddie's vote, which doomed the plan to blindside Lycan. In the end, Luke was unanimously voted out for being inactive. Eggy then joined the tribe.

Junkanoo then once again lost another challenge, partially due to the entire Goombay tribe now being practically unbeatable in challenges, with Molly and Cara on their side. The vote might have been Arash, but his activity in the game led to him leading the charge to vote out Bronco, who had gone inactive post-swap. Nobody was very opposed to this, and Bronco was predictably voted out unanimously, with no real pushback from anyone.

At the joint tribal, voting with your tribe was less than a thing, and alliances were more reliant. In the end, nobody from Junkanoo 2.0 was voted out at the joint tribal council, with Arash leading the vote to blindside Molly while they were asleep.

The tribes then swapped again, and Arash held most of the power, as his loyal allies were all together in one little box, excluding Rat. Rat bombed the challenge, and Junkanoo was sent to Tribal. Lycan had some aspect of power here, but in the end, Rat was swapscrewed and voted out unanimously, despite his scrambling and attempts to stay.

Junkanoo then went on to win the next challenge, and the rest of their members made merge safely, even though nobody who was on Junkanoo at any point won the game.
