Samevivor: Thailand

**Samevivor: Thailand** is the fifth season of the Samevivor series. It premiered on June 11th, 2020 and ended on July 5th, 2020. Chichinitz won the title of Sole Samevivor over Yosh in a 6-1 vote.

## Season Summary

The season of Samevivor: Thailand started quickly with the schoolyard pick, in which the two oldest members of the cast (by discord account) were put in charge. Taking the purple Sook Jai tribe, Flak picked teammates based on educated guesses while Halcyon on the other hand picked members for the orange Chuay Gahn tribe by a luck of the draw.

After the tribes were picked, Angela and Logan quickly took control on the Sook Jai tribe due to their strong social games and involvement with alliances across the tribe. The majority of tribe stood united throughout the premerge as they only attended two tribal councils, while on the other hand Chuay Gahn’s octogahn alliance ofChichinitz, Madd, Halcyon, and Yosh were the only ones left standing as they went to four tribals before even the fake merge.

With the fake merge at day 11, castaways from opposing tribes were able to connect with each other for essentially the first time all game. Being down on the numbers, Chuay Gahn’s main focus was to attempt to flip members of Sook Jai to give them some hope as they went into the merge. However, another loss on Chuay Gahn’s part forced them to get rid of another member, Madd, putting them at very low numbers going into the actual merge.

As the merge began, the original Sook Jai members started out strong for their first vote to eliminate Halcyon. However, their tribe strong attitude soon began to crumble as Angela began to play both sides and Dexter’s attempt to get blindside her resulted in him going home in an impressive 3-2-2 vote. From there at the final 6, Sook Jai's Fariha fully flipped to two Chuay Gahns left: Chi and Yosh, while Flak, Logan, and Angela stuck together. This ultimately resulted in a rock draw in which Logan was eliminated and his two closest allies were left on the minority. Knowing they were on the bottom, both Angela and Flak flipped on each other for the final five, however Flak was the one eliminated in a 4-1 vote due to his strength in challenges. At the final four, Chi and Yosh continued to stick together while Fariha flipped back over to work with Angela, sending Yosh and Angela to fire. With Yosh’s victory in fire, Angela’s torch was snuffed and the remaining three continued onward. Continuing with his immunity streak throughout the merge, Chi won the final immunity and decided to take Yosh with him to the final tribal council, leaving Fariha as the final juror.

While in front of the jury both Chi and Yosh made their best arguments as to why they should win, Yosh was mostly seen as Chi’s lapdog and just his follower at the end of the day. With this, Chi was able to come out on top with the majority of the jury’s votes in a 6-1 final, naming him as the Sole Samevivor of Thailand.
