Chan Loh Girls

**Highest Ranked**: India (Winner)

The Chan Loh Girls (also known as the 'Chan Loh Alliance') was an alliance from Survivor: Kaôh Rōng.

This alliance included a number of short-term affiliates over a few different iterations. However, the core alliance of three women proved to be extremely loyal and social which allowed them to get to the end despite originally having a numbers disadvantage at the merge.

## History

### Three Original Allies

The blue Chan Loh tribe was formed on Day 1 of *Survivor: Kaôh Rōng*. Whilst the tribe was setting up camp, Courtney W and Grainne formed a close relationship because they were the hardest workers. The pair soon found themselves in a tight alliance of three after Dre found the tribes Hidden Immunity Idol and shared this information with them. Though it originally appeared there was an even split on the tribe, the Chan Loh Alliance grew when Felix asked to join the alliance. When the tribe lost the first immunity challenge, the Chan Loh Alliance decided they wanted to get rid of J'Tia. However, their plan soon changed when Felix opened up to Grainne about the fact that he was playing both sides. At tribal, Felix still voted for J'Tia but the rest of the Chan Loh Alliance had the majority to blindside Felix.

### Only Girls Allowed

At the tribe dissolve on Day 12, Grainne remained on Chan Loh along with J'Tia. They were joined by Courtney and India from Gondol as well as Isaiah, Naya and Paisley from To Tang. Grainne and J'Tia set aside their differences for the time being and agreed it was in their best interest to work as a cohesive pair before they brought in Courtney and India to form the alliance of Chan Loh Girls. Despite having a 4-3 majority over the To Tang castaways, Grainne was still not sure if she could fully trust J'Tia. When Chan Loh lost the first immunity challenge, the alliance agreed to vote for Naya. When J'Tia asked Grainne about the plan however, she told her that they would be voting for Isaiah.

This split vote plan caused a 3-3-1 tie between India and Naya. At the revote, Grainne pled with J'Tia to vote with her and Courtney in order to eliminate Naya. J'Tia was unsure if she could trust Grainne still, but voted with her in order to keep her closest relationships. Upon their return to camp, Isaiah overheard the rest of the Chan Loh Girls speak badly about J'Tia and managed to convince her to flip to work with him and Paisley. India knew her tight trio were becoming vulnerable and decided to scare Isaiah by flashing him the idol that she found earlier in the game. This plan worked, as Isaiah and Paisley voted with the Chan Loh Girls in order to eliminate J'Tia.

### Pairs of Affiliates

The Final Eleven then merged into one tribe on Day 20, where the Chan Loh Girls of three were reunited with their original alliances. India and Courtney managed to bring in Sasha from their original Gondol Alliance to the new Chan Loh Alliance, but Grainne no longer felt she and Courtney from the original Chan Loh tribe could work together. At the first merged tribal council, the alliance of Courtney, Grainne, India, Sasha and his ally Chris had the numbers and they eliminated Paisley because of her almost inseparable connection to Isaiah. This larger group also had the majority at the following vote, where they eliminated Astrid.

The Chan Loh Girls felt comfortable with their position in the game, but feared that Chris and Sasha would flip on them. The alliance was then approached with Dre and William, who weren't as willing to turn on their own Gondol Alliance but readily agreed to blindside Chris and Sasha when the girls proposed the idea. This alliance of five had the firm majority over the next two tribal councils, where Chris and Sasha were the next two castaways eliminated. By the Final Seven, the Chan Loh Girls had close relationships on the tribe but still were in the minority overall. As they feared, the rest of the tribe joined forces at the next tribal council to vote for Courtney N. However, Courtney used the idol she and India found to save herself and William was voted out with the second highest number of votes.

### The Trio Prevail

The Chan Loh Girls finally had the numbers on their side by the Final Six, but this still caused a tied vote between Courtney N and Dre. At the revote, the girls managed to use their relationship with Isaiah to get him to flip and eliminate Dre. This proved to be more beneficial for the girls than for Isaiah because they voted him out at the next tribal council. When Courtney W failed to win the final individual immunity challenge, the trio voted him out and they all proceeded to the Final Three. In the end, the jury appreciated Grainne's strong social game and Courtney's bold idol play against William but were most impressed by India's entire game and she was unanimously awarded the title of Sole Survivor.
