Kalokalo

**Highest Placing Member**: DJ (Sole Survivor/20)

Kalokalo was the merged tribe from Survivor: David vs. Goliath.

The tribe began with a divide along original tribal lines, until the Davids turned on each other. This led to a number of blindsides, idol plays and advantages until they were all played and one castaway was forced to rely on their relationships and immunity wins to get to the end. Their tribe colour was blue.

## Tribe History

On Day 18, the thirteen castaways from the Jabeni, Tiva and Vuku tribes merged into the blue Kalokalo tribe. Three castaways on Kalokalo were in possession of idols from the pre-merge tribes; Brandi holding Vuku's, Hardeep with Jabeni's and Christian having the Tiva idol. Kameron was also in possession of an Idol Nullifier, the first of its kind on *Survivor*. The tribe was divided along original tribal lines, with outsiders Bethan and Brandi on the outs of both alliances. Angelina, Hardeep, Kevin, Ross and Tracey as the Goliath Alliance targeted DJ, the girls on the outs voted for Kevin but the Davids in addition to Kameron had the numbers to eliminate Bethan. Anthony during this time found the Kalokalo idol, and he revealed this to his closest allies Deanna, DJ and Kameron to demonstrate trust, though he kept this from Christian and Gabby.

Original tribal lines were soon broken when the Davids went after each other. The Vuku Four, Hardeep and Kevin voted for Christian whilst the rest of the tribe went after Anthony, leading to a 6-6 tie. However, a null vote occurred when both Anthony and Christian played their idols. This left the pair immune, and all twelve castaways were forced to revote. The Vuku Four targeted Gabby but Hardeep didn't want another tie or potential rock draw, and he switched to Christian and Gabby's alliance to eliminate Kevin. With his numbers dwindling, DJ found the Extra Vote at the Kalokalo camp. Angelina, Ross and Tracey were loyal to Christian and Gabby, and they were concerned that Hardeep was becoming a more valued ally. At tribal council, the Jabeni trio voted for Hardeep whilst the Vuku Three voted for Gabby. However, the Jabeni concerns were correct because Christian and Gabby convinced Brandi, Hardeep and Kameron to blindside Tracey.

    Christian and Gabby were confident with this move that Hardeep was firmly aligned with them. However, Hardeep was willing to sway where there were numbers and a big move couple be made. The tribe was again evenly split, with the alliance of Angelina, Brandi, Christian, Gabby, Hardeep and Ross targeting Anthony. However, Hardeep flipped when DJ revealed his Extra Vote and the potential for a blindside. Worried about Hardeep and his alliance, Ross found the re-hidden Kalokalo idol but decided to only tell Angelina, keeping it secret to everyone else for the time being. DJ blocked Brandi's vote at tribal council, and his majority alliance made Brandi the fourth member of the jury with her own vote and an idol in her pocket. The next target of the Vuku quartet was Ross. He played his idol at tribal council, but it was blocked when Kameron played his Idol Nullifier. Though votes counted for Ross, it didn't matter because Hardeep flipped back to Christian and Gabby to eliminate Kameron.

With the numbers dwindling, members of Kalokalo began to question their tightest alliances. Deanna and DJ changed their Final Three deal with Anthony to a personal Final Two deal, which Anthony began to notice. Additionally, Gabby decided her first individual move on her resume would be to blindside Christian. She told other members of her tribe about this, and most of them entertained the thought. However, the Vuku Alliance saw this as an opportunity to exploit another crack and Gabby was eliminated. Anthony's relationship with his trio was diminishing quickly when he learned they were trying to target him. Angelina, Christian and Ross saw this as an opportunity to take revenge on Gabby's elimination, and they voted out Deanna followed by Anthony at tribal council when DJ won individual immunity.

Hardeep was holding the only advantage left in the game at the Final Five, and he wanted to make a big move to include on his resume. Angelina, Christian, Hardeep and Ross agreed to vote for DJ when he failed to win individual immunity. However, Hardeep approached DJ privately and Hardeep played his idol for DJ at tribal council. With the only votes that counted from the pair, Christian was eliminated with the second highest votes. Angelina and Ross lost faith in Hardeep as a result of this move, and they made him the final member of the jury with DJ's help. At the Final Tribal Council, Angelina was criticised for failing to make any individual moves and for acting erratically when things didn't go her way. Ross was praised for his social game and move against Kameron at the Final Nine, but the jury felt it didn't translate to a consistent strategic game. DJ was praised for his strategic game with the Vuku Alliance, and for winning individual immunity when he was forced to become an underdog from the Final Six. In the end, DJ won the title of Sole Survivor in a 7-3-0 vote after earning jury votes from Anthony, Bethan, Deanna, Gabby, Hardeep, Kameron and Kevin.
