Zapatera

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

Zapatera was a tribe from Survivor: Redemption Island.

A tribe containing three core alliances, Zapatera suffered a string of losses and blindsides in the early pre-merge before a dominant leader emerged that would cut ties with anyone getting in her way to the end. Their tribe colour was purple.

## Tribe History

The purple Zapatera tribe was formed on Day 1 of *Survivor: Redemption Island*. Early on, the tribe was divided into three smaller alliances; one containing the athletic men in Dave, John and Scott, another with the girls in Cindy, Isobel, Mandy and Summer and the final containing Bethany, Jett and Ryder (the Redemption Island Duo) who are relatives of castaways from the previous season. At the Double Tribal Council on Day 3, the Zapatera tribe voted along these original lines. The women's alliance had the majority and Ryder was the first castaway sent to Redemption Island. After this first vote, Mandy and Summer made a Final Two deal and planned on bringing in more people in order to form a majority on the tribe. They bring in Bethany, though Mandy is adamant that this is only a temporary measure. At the tribes following two losses, Mandy's Womens Alliance held the majority and eliminated Scott and John.

    Mandy speaks to her ally Summer to break the majority alliance and eliminate Jett. Bethany overhears this plot, and is angered because of her connection to Jett. The pair try to campaign against Mandy with the rest of the tribe, but Dave believes he has a better chance of surviving with Mandy and her alliance. At Zapatera's third consecutive loss, Bethany is blindsided and sent to Redemption Island. With the numbers dwindling, Jett and Dave knew that they were outnumbered compared to the women. Isobel also noticed that she was being shafted from her alliance, with Cindy becoming the third number after Mandy and Summer (where they later made a secret Final Three deal). At their next loss, Isobel and the boys voted for Summer but the women voted for Dave which led to a 3-3 tie. At the revote, Jett flipped on Dave and Isobel to eliminate Dave and avoid a rock draw which left Isobel as an outcast. Despite the tension between Isobel and the tribe, Bethany's return from Redemption Island and the tribes following three immunity wins meant Zapatera was protected from visiting tribal council until the merge on Day 19.
Jackson

Tribe(s): Mana
Finish: 12/18
Days Lasted: 16

Jackson is a contestant from *Survivor: New Zealand*.

## Survivor: New Zealand

Jackson originally competed on *Survivor: New Zealand* on the blue Tapu tribe. At the first immunity challenge, Tapu lost and went to tribal council. For his laid back attitude costing them the challenge, Jackson voted with the majority to send home Taylor. At their second loss, Jayne was the target. However, Corin soon talked to the tribe about this, causing Jayne to know of the plan. Jayne then convinced the majority of the tribe to send home Corin. The tribe then went on an immunity streak, winning the next two challenges.

At the tribe switch, Jackson was switched to the red Mana tribe along with original members Jayne, Alex and Charlie. The tribe won the first immunity challenge. Two alliances were warring at this point, with Jackson in the middle. At their first tribal council, Jackson voted for Hughie alone. However, the majority alliance banded together to sent home Evelyn. With Jackson alone, the two warring alliances banded together. When Mana lost again, the now reconciled alliances sent home Jackson.

Tiva

**Highest Placing Member**: Hardeep (4/20)

Tiva was a tribe from Survivor: David vs. Goliath.

Created at the Tribe Expansion, the Goliath majority on Tiva was quickly diminished when they split into their own alliances. This gave the David minority the chance to pick who they wanted to align with going into the merge. Their tribe colour was green.

## Tribe History

The green Tiva tribe was formed following the Day 12 Tribe Expansion of *Survivor: David vs. Goliath*. It was comprised of Christian and Gabby from the original Davids, as well as Hardeep, Kennedy, Kevin and Lexi from the Goliath tribe. Despite the Goliath majority on Tiva, Lexi quickly jumped ship because she was in the minority on her original tribe. Christian and Gabby became even more powerful when Christian found the Tiva Hidden Immunity Idol, though they agreed that it would not be played until the merge. At their first loss on Day 15, Christian, Gabby and Lexi voted for Kennedy whilst the Goliath men voted for Lexi. At the revote, Hardeep flipped to eliminate Kennedy to avoid drawing rocks.

    This move left Hardeep and Kevin firmly in the minority. They felt their only logical move was to convince Christian and Gabby that Lexi should be eliminated. They told the pair that Lexi had no connections on the other tribe and they would remain as a trio at the merge, but both Hardeep and Kevin had connections that could help them in the future. At Tiva's second consecutive loss, Christian and Gabby weighed up their options and voted with Hardeep and Kevin to unanimously eliminate Lexi. On Day 18, the remaining thirteen castaways from the Jabeni, Vuku and Tiva tribes merged.

## Trivia

* Tiva is the first auxiliary tribe to have an uneven number of castaways in comparison to their rival tribes.
	+ It would later be followed by Yanuya from *Survivor: Ghost Island*.
Scoop

Survivor: Thailand II
Tribe(s): Chuay Ghan, Chuay Jai
Finish: 12/18
 Survivor: Argentina
Tribe(s): Rawson, Trelew, Vilewson
Finish: 10/20
Days Lasted: 28

Scoop is a contestant from *Survivor: Thailand II* and *Survivor: Argentina*.

## Survivor: Thailand II

Scoop began *Survivor: Thailand II* on the orange Chuay Ghan tribe, where the men originally outnumbered the women. This ultimately didn't matter, as Scoop was apart of the Chuay Gahn Alliance with his closest allies Carlos and Chad in addition to Britney, Jenna and Tiffany. After winning the first three immunity challenges, the tribe lost twice. The alliance split the votes at their first loss, whereby Scoop's trio voted for Symon. This led to a tied vote between Scoop, Kate-Lyn and Symon, where Kate-Lyn was voted out at the revote. At the second tribal, Scoop's' trio turned on their alliance to work with the men and blindside Tiffany.

At this point, the tribes merged and Scoop thought that the Chuay Gahn Alliance would work together with Sook Jai outsider Troye. He won the first individual immunity challenge and voted for Gia, but Troye was voted out. Winning the last challenge put a huge target on Scoop's back and with his alliance having a minority, Scoop was the next to go home.

## Survivor: Argentina

In his second attempt, Scoop competed on *Survivor: Argentina* on the blue Rawson tribe. The tribe originally consisted of castaways with an African background. They were lucky enough to win the five challenges that they had together and did not have to go to tribal council. At the tribe dissolve, he was switched to the pink Rawson tribe with original tribe member, Ellody. Of the three challenges they had together, Rawson did not have to go to tribal council. By Day 19, Scoop was far into the game and never had to vote for someone.

At this point, Scoop made the merge and was in an alliance of five to tackle the Trelew Five. He won the first immunity challenge, and voted with his alliance for Lateysha. However, the votes were tied between her and Ellody, with Ellody being voted out at the revote. He won immunity once again, voting for Rick when Sarge was instead sent home. At the third tribal, Scoop voted for Cara. However, she used a Hidden Immunity Idol and the Trelew Five sent home Scoop. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for Symon to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Trivia

* Every time that Scoop attended a tribal council at the merge and he did not have the immunity necklace around his neck, he was voted out.
* Scoop is one of nine castaways to improve on their original placement during *Argentina* along with Cami, Destiny, Jeremy C., Lateysha, Rick, Sarge, Symon and Tiarn.
* Scoop is one of the few castaways to never attend a tribal council during the pre-merge phase of the game, during *Argentina*.

Tapu
 Winner

*Survivor: New Zealand* is the thirty-fourth season of Huyopa 2001's Survivor. The season features 18 new castaways competing for the title of Sole Survivor.

The Sole Survivor of the season was Charlie, a loud and likeable young woman, who won over the jury with her excellent social game that complemented her strategic game. The final three also included Hughie, a pure soul who made friends with majority of the cast and Laura, a scrappy underdog, who made it to the finals by playing under the radar. In the end, Charlie defeated Hughie and Laura in a 6-2-0 vote as the jury felt she most embodied the motto, *Outwit, Outplay, Outlast*.

## Twists/ Changes

**Tribe Switch**: On Day 11, the Mana and Tapu tribes were switched, each with 7 members. At the switch, Alex, Charlie, Evelyn, Hughie, Jackson, Jayne and Ryan were put on the Mana tribe and Ellis, Godfrey, Jessie, Lateysha, Laura, Natalie and Russell were put on the Tapu tribe.

Voting Advantage: As in the last two seasons, the voting advantage was available during this season. It was hidden at the first individual immunity challenge, and the castaway who found it kept it. The power it held this season was that it was able to remove the right one castaway had in one tribal council. The holder could then vote for them instead. On Day 19, Hughie found and won the advantage. On Day 29, Hughie then used the voting advantage, removing Alex's right to vote. He instead voted for Ryan twice.

## Trivia

* With this season, Survivor: The Amazon, Survivor: Thailand II and *New Zealand* tie the record with Survivor: Worlds Apart, Survivor: Vanuatu and Survivor: Borneo for the most consecutive seasons to feature entire new casts, with three.
* *New Zealand* is the first season since Survivor: South Pacific to have a red and blue pre-merge tribe. However, a red and blue tribe also competed against each other after the tribe dissolve from *Worlds Apart*.
* This is the first season in *Survivor* history to have a brown merged tribe.
* Laura is the first female castaway to be the second runner-up since Peighton of Survivor: Japan.

Hidden Immunity Idol: The hidden immunity idol was in play this season with the same rules as previous iterations. However, two idols were hidden on the merged Pagtubos tribe at the same time.

**Double Tribal Council:** On Day 2, the Kabayo and Kuneho tribes lost the challenge and both had to send one member home. On Day 14, the Pagong tribe lost the immunity challenge and had to send two members home. The final double Tribal occurred on Day 25. After voting out Alistair, there was a makeshift immunity challenge at Tribal Council. The castaways later voted Ryan.

Tribe Dissolve: On Day 12, the remaining castaways were split into the new Pagong and Burra tribes and both the Kabayo and Kuneho tribes were dissolved.

Double Immunity: There were two immunity necklace winners at the Day 22 and 26 individual immunity challenges as opposed to the regular one.

## Trivia

* It also the second season to include a Rock Drawing Tie-Breaker since Survivor: The Australian Outback.
	+ It is currently the only to have two different rock draws.
Yasur

**Highest Placing Member**: Blake (Runner-Up/18)

Yasur was a tribe from Survivor: Vanuatu.

One of the stronger two tribes, Yasur was a youthful and strategy ready tribe. Alliances from before the tribes were even formed proved useful for some and the downfall for others. The breakdown in the powerful pre-made alliance meant that the tribe started to crack even if they still won immunity challenge. Their tribe colour was yellow.

## Members

* Angus, an Australian tradie who enjoys sun, swimming and surfing.
* Ashley, a college football cheerleader who is on the same team as Brittany.
* Blake, a young and athletic college student who is studying to become a personal trainer.
* Brittany, a college football cheerleader who is on the same team as Ashley.
* Frankie, a young jockey who is friends with fellow jockey, Jorge.
* Lacey, a part-time model who is also studying business.
* Louise, a country music singer and single mother of a young daughter.
* Maxwell, a nerdy and scrawny financial analyst that looks younger than he is.

## Tribe History

On Day 4, the tribes of Survivor: Vanuatu were formed. The Yasur tribe was clearly the younger of the two, having almost all their tribe members still be in college. Ashley, Blake, Brittany, Lacey and Louise were in The Popular's alliance before the tribes were formed and were glad that they were placed with each other. Angus and Frankie also had a previous alliance with each other. In order to continue having the power and as a precaution, Angus was also brought into their alliance. Yasur won the first immunity challenge but lost the second. The alliance of six decided to vote for Frankie to test how loyal Angus was to him, but he agreed with the group that Frankie should be eliminated. Meanwhile, Angus was continuing to bond with Blake and some of the women in the majority alliance and did so more than Lacey. She was extremely angry that a new addition was more accepted in the alliance and she jealously voted with the rest of the tribe for Angus. However, this was not effective enough and Frankie was still voted out with a majority of votes.

    The Yasur tribe then lost the next immunity challenge. Brittany came up with the idea of blindsiding Louise and talked to the rest of her alliance about this intention. Lacey felt that she should get in good terms with Louise, still feeling on the outs of their alliance. At tribal council, Brittany convinced the majority of her tribe to vote out Louise. However, Louise used a Hidden Immunity Idol thanks to Lacey's tip off and with the only two votes that counted, Brittany was voted out. Yasur was such a strong tribe that they won the next three immunity challenges. Louise and Lacey were somewhat on the outs of the tribe because Louise was the target of a blindside. This caused her to angrily and aggressively confront much of her tribe but then quickly apologise. On Day 20, the tribes merged and the remaining ten castaways played a more individual game to compete for the title of Sole Survivor.
Waw

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

Waw was a tribe from Survivor: Thailand.

The most dysfunctional tribe of the original five, Waw was struck with two losses of the five challenges. However, a pair was unified in votes and mentality that ensured their survival for the next phase of the game. Their tribe colour was red.

## Members

* Bobby Jon, a strong ally during Survivor: Nicaragua who in his second attempt failed to replicate this success.
* Katniss, originally competing in Survivor: Redemption Island, she is most notable for being one of the Raro Five during Survivor: Cook Islands.
* Montana, a castaway originally from Survivor: San Juan Del Sur who has always appeared to be one or two steps behind the master strategists.
* Natalia, the under the radar strategist and come from behind winner of Survivor: Fiji who originally competed in Survivor: Panama.

## Tribe History

The Waw tribe was formed on Day 1 of Survivor: Thailand and consisted of former castaways Bobby Jon, Katniss, Montana and Natalia, with a Taurus horoscope. Of the five original tribes, Waw was the most dysfunctional. Natalia was renowned for her under the radar strategy and Montana was one to copy it. When the tribe lost their first immunity challenge on Day 6, the girls voted for Katniss and Bobby Jon simply followed out of fear. After winning the next challenge, Waw lost yet again. Montana and Natalia were so closely aligned that there was no doubt Bobby Jon would be voted out. The girls then promised to take each other to the end with a Final Two deal.

On Day 11, the castaways were shocked to find out the first five eliminated would battle out for a one time Redemption Island duel. Waw was the only tribe to have two representations compete in the duel; Katniss who was their first boot and Bobby Jon who was their second. Montana and Natalia were hoping the previously eliminated wouldn't return and were thankful when Bobby Jon lost the endurance challenge. Katniss did end up winning though and got to select her new tribe because a dissolve was coming. With Katniss' Hying Saw tribe, she chose Natalia from her original tribe but not Montana. The Waw tribe was then disbanded.

## Trivia

* Waw is the only tribe of *Survivor: Thailand* to have more than one castaway compete in the Redemption Island duel.
Troye

Tribe(s): Sook Jai, Chuay Jai
Finish: 13/18

Troye is a contestant from *Survivor: Thailand II*.

## Survivor: Thailand II

Troye originally competed on *Survivor: Thailand II* on the purple Sook Jai tribe. The women outnumbered the men. When the tribe lost the first three challenges, the men were seen as easy targets. This resulted in the eliminations of Sarge and Carmen. The women turned on each other at the next time. Troye and Derrick formed a short time alliance with Kay J and Gia in order to vote out Lisa. The tribe then won the next two challenges and did not have to go to tribal council.

At this point, the tribes merged and Troye as apart of the Sook Jai tribe were in the minority. He formed an alliance with Chuay Ghan men Scoop, Symon and Adam to hopefull again a majority. At the first vote, the four voted for Gia, but the former Sook Jai members turned against Troye and he was sent home.

**Family Relationships**: Despite not being a Blood vs. Water season, two castaways within the game are a pair of sisters with a pre-existing relationship.

Vote Blocker: After the Reward Challenge on Day 9, a vote blocker was hidden in a bag of potato chips for the winning tribe. This allows a castaway to block another from voting at the next Tribal Council. Should the person who found the advantage not attend the next Tribal Council, they must block someone on the losing tribe from voting.

**Tribe Switch**: On Day 9, the remaining fifteen castaways were switched into the three tribes. Unlike other seasons in a three tribe format, no tribe was dissolved and all three tribes existed until the merge on Day 17.

## Trivia

Vuku

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

Vuku (originally David) was a tribe from Survivor: David vs. Goliath.

Despite their original bonding, tensions grew within the David tribe due to the desires to blindside and have power within their small pairs and trios. This continued into the merge, where they imploded against the Goliaths. Their tribe colour was orange.

## Tribe History

The orange David tribe was formed on Day 1 of *Survivor: David vs. Goliath*. The tribe initially bonded when India revealed that she was transgender, which led to a conversation about identity and sexuality. Alliances were also quickly forming, one including Anthony, Deanna and DJ, another with Christian and Gabby, a third with Amanda, India and Wayne and a fourth with outsiders Brandi and Andrew. Controversy soon rocked the David tribe when Amanda and Andrew misgendered India on separated occasions, though this was soon resolved following a tribe meeting. The majority alliance was formed when Andrew, Anthony, Brandi, Christian, Deanna, DJ and Gabby aligned. At the tribes first loss, they regrettably voted out India for her weakness in the immunity challenge.

On Day 4, Brandi found the David tribes Hidden Immunity Idol. She felt this would further ensure she was protected, but Andrew at their second loss wanted to blindside Christian. No one within the majority was willing to give up their safe position for a "big move" and Amanda was eliminated instead. Brandi soon caught onto this hysteria, and she approached Anthony, Deanna and DJ with the potential to blindside Gabby. The majority once again were unwavering in their unity and Wayne was eliminated when the David tribe lost for the third time.

At the Tribe Expansion on Day 12, the David tribe was renamed to Vuku. Andrew, Anthony, Deanna and DJ remained on Vuku, and they were joined by Kameron from the purple Goliath tribe. Anthony, Deanna and DJ were already a strong trio, and they made a Final Three deal to protect themselves if Vuku was to ever lose. This left Andrew and Kameron in the minority, where Andrew decided their first target would be Deanna. During the first post-expansion immunity challenge, Kameron found a clue to an advantage that led him to finding the Idol Nullifier. When Vuku lost, Kameron told the trio that Andrew was plotting against Deanna and he aligned with them to unanimously eliminate Andrew at tribal council. Vuku won the remaining two tribal councils they had together, and the four bonded to the point where Kameron was welcomed as the trio became a quartet. On Day 18, the remaining thirteen castaways from Vuku, Jabeni and Tiva merged.

*Survivor: Australia* is the thirty-ninth season of Huyopa 2001's Survivor. The season consisted of twenty new castaways competing for the title of Sole Survivor.

This season had two clear alliances struggling for power coming into the merge. A series of blindsides and last minute manoeuvres meant that the Final Three comprised of members from both alliances. Flick arguably played the strongest strategic game of all finalists, but was less personable and earned no jury votes. Kristie was the last remaining member of her alliance, earning their respect, but ultimately reprimanded for her floating gameplay that caused her to be so unthreatening. Sam however, was in the minority alliance but extremely personable to all members of the jury. In the end, he was given the title of Sole Survivor for played a strong social game in a 6-3-0 vote.

## Twists/ Changes

**Mock Vote**: On Day 12, both tribes were told a Double Tribal Council was going to take place, where both tribes had to vote someone out. However, they were only switched to the opposing tribe. Vavau voted out Calum, and Saanapu voted for Nicola. Calum was allowed to pick two members of original Vavau to join him at the switch and Nicola was allowed one to balance out the tribes.

Yase
 Winner

*Survivor: Shipwheel Island* is the forty-eighth season of Huyopa 2001's Survivor.

Although this season did not contain a Tribe Switch, the castaways were able to communicate across original tribal lines through the titular Shipwheel Island and by sitting out of immunity challenges. This allowed smaller, more secret, alliances to sustain into the merge and cause some explosive tribal council moments. Despite this, a more traditional alliance overcame a minority position due to their loyalty to one another. Sefa, who threw hinky votes and manipulated his allies into using their advantages to his benefit, was a member of this powerful alliance and won the season in a 7-2-0 vote.

## Production

The earliest stages of planning for Season 48 began in October 2021 during the airing of *Survivor: The Congo*. At this point, casting was already underway for the all BIPOC cast for *Survivor: Ghost Island*. This process had a direct influence on the decisions made during casting for Season 48. Namely, production wanted to hold true to their promise to cast at least two Indigenous people for this season (which was ultimately met in their casting of Cheyenne and Willow). Additionally, it was determined the casts for all seasons following *Ghost Island* should be at least 50% BIPOC. Khao Laem was once again under consideration as a potential location, though it was decided to remain in Fiji for the second season in a row. Due to the simultaneous predictability of *The Congo* and the wildly successful Ghost Island from *Ghost Island*, production developed Shipwheel Island with the aim of increasing the complexity of the *Survivor* format.

## Twists/ Changes

Shipwheel Island: Castaways from different tribes were taken to another island where they were given a choice between protecting or risking their vote on their next visit to Tribal Council. If all of them chose “protect”, they kept their votes. If all of them chose “risk”, none of them were able to vote at their next Tribal Council. If there was a split decision, those who chose “protect” get to keep their vote, but those who chose “risk” obtained an Extra Vote.

Hidden Immunity Idol: A Hidden Immunity Idol is hidden at each camp. However, these idols have two halves, one of which must be given to another castaway before sundown on the same day that it is found. After a minimum period of 24 hours, the two halves can be combined into an idol will full power.

## Trivia

* With *Shipwheel Island*, Fiji and Samoa tie for the location which has appeared the most number of times, with seven.
* *Shipwheel Island* is the first season since *The Amazon*, and the first season with three starting tribes, to not have a Tribe Switch.

The final three were capable of holding their own and formed a tight bond once they met. The eventual winner Skye, was cool, calm and collected. Her fellow finalists included Erinn and Thomas, both of which relied on short-term allies. In the end, Skye won in a 4-2-1 vote over Erinn and Thomas.

## Twists/ Changes

**8 Person Merge**: Instead of a typical merge at the Finals 10-12, the castaways were involved in a second tribe switch. The merge instead occurred with only eight castaways remaining on Day 26, making it the smallest merged tribe in *Survivor* history.

**7 Person Jury**: Unlike the previous three seasons, the jury began before the merge and only consisted of 7 castaways. It is also the least amount of jurors in one season.

## Trivia

To Tang

**Highest Placing Member**: Isaiah (5/18)

To Tang was a tribe from Survivor: Kaôh Rōng.

One of the most fun tribes in *Survivor* history, To Tang was united and energetic. Never losing a challenge as a six, they included a flirty couple, an amputee and a trio of misfits. The evacuation of one led to a low morale and a tribe switch eventually split them apart. Their tribe colour was red.

## Members

* AJ, a martial arts teacher for school age children who practises Santería.
* Astrid, a feminist protestor who was apart of the 2017 Women's March on Washington.
* Chris, after not having his right leg since birth, he is a Canadian track and field paralympian.
* Isaiah, a building contractor and concreter who has a two young daughters but is looking for love.
* Naya, an American actress, singer and writer who is married to her husband for three years.
* Paisley, a British tattoo artist and occasional receptionist who enjoys socialising with her clients.

## Tribe History

The red To Tang tribe was formed on Day 1 and consisted of AJ, Astrid, Chris, Isaiah, Naya and Paisley. The tribe of six was fairly close together and had no strong alliances. Of the three tribes, they were the most athletic and had the best teamwork. In case they lost an immunity challenge, Paisley and Isaiah formed a tight duo. The rest of the tribe saw this at camp constantly and when they started sleeping next to each other at night, thought they were starting to get romantically involved. Chris, as the shows first amputee was also given a lot of the tribes attention and queries to understand his situation. AJ, Naya and Astrid were the louder three of the tribe, always making jokes, pulling pranks and being the life and soul To Tang beach. Paisley and Isaiah weren't too threatened by the joking trio, but felt Chris could be a threat to win if they let him get to the end. Luckily for Chris, he found the Hidden Immunity Idol on Day 5 but decided to not tell anyone yet.

The tribe bonded and wanted to win as many challenges as they could so they wouldn't have to turn on each other. To Tang was lucky enough however to win the first three immunity challenges. At the Day 11 immunity challenge, AJ was dehydrated and fainted during the middle of the challenge. The tribe was very worried, prompting the challenge to stop. The medical team later concluded it was better if AJ was evacuated to recover better. As a result, the challenge was cancelled and the tribe of five felt they lost a key player from their tribe. On Day 12, the tribes were switched and To Tang was dissolved.

## Trivia

* To Tang is the first tribe in *Survivor* history to include an amputee.
* To Tang is the first tribe from a three tribe season to lose a member due to a medical evacuation.
* To Tang is one of three tribes to never attend a Tribal Council, along with Viveros and Trelew.
Laumei

**Highest Placing Member**: Anthony (Sole Survivor/24)

Laumei was a tribe from Survivor: Island of Secrets.

After being the strongest of the four original tribes of the season, one castaway used an advantage they obtained on the Island of Secrets to gain power but this backfired. Their tribe colour was yellow.

## Tribe History

The yellow Laumei tribe was formed on Day 1 of *Survivor: Island of Secrets*, containing castaways from western regions of the United States. The tribe of five new castaways was also joined by *David vs. Golaith* castaway Anthony. Over the course of the first three days, Anthony used his natural social charm to bond with his tribe and was eventually chosen to visit the Island of Secrets on Day 3, but was unable to win the advantage on offer.

    After winning immunity on Day 6, Laumei then decided to send Harmony to the Island of Secrets. She was able to win Johanna's rock from *The Australian Outback*, which meant she would always cast the sole vote if a tie was to occur at any tribal council she attended. Laumei continued to dominate at the immunity challenges, unsuccessfully sending both Harmony and Anthony to the Island of Secrets again to obtain an advantage.

On Day 10, Christopher from the rival Sa'ula tribe used his advantage from the Island of Secrets to force Anthony and Rahul from Laumei to mutiny with him and Sneha. This left the pair on Laumei with original castaways Harmony, Jodie, Joshua and Leyla, who agreed that they would remain a united group against the pair. Christopher, who thought his choice to mutiny would allow him to build new cross-tribal relationships, quickly caught onto the fact that he was in the minority. On Day 12, Christopher became solely responsible for keeping Laumei away from a Double Tribal Council but he was unsuccessful. Christopher and Sneha tried to convince Harmony in particular to flip on Jodie, whom they targeted because she was yet to visit the Island of Secrets and potentially obtain an advantage. Their pleas fell on deaf ears because the four original Laumei castaways banded together to eliminate Christopher. On Day 13, Laumei was permanently dissolved as the remaining eighteen castaways were divided amongst the Sa'ula and Ta'alo tribes.

## Trivia

* Laumei went the longest of all four starting tribes in *Island of Secrets* without attending tribal council (Day 12) and without losing an original member (Day 14).
* In a rather interesting coincidence, each of the four starting tribes produced a representative in the final four. Anthony became the representative of Laumei.
Sook Jai

**Highest Placing Member**: Kay J (Runner-Up/18)

Sook Jai (สุขใจ) was a tribe from Survivor: Thailand II.

* Gia, the co-owner of a small Chinese restaurant, who wants to better her life.
* Kay J, the co-owner of a small Chinese restaurant with her flatmate Gia.
* Lisa, a Harvard graduate, who has become a lawyer and is dating Carmen.
* Sarge, a rough skater boy with a big heart.
* Troye, once a quiet jock, but now a confident personal trainer.

### Unmerge

* Adam, a couch potato and student.
* Bee
* Dusk
* Gia
* Jenna, a former singer, but now is a blogger and backpacker.
* Symon, the room-mate of Adam and an aspiring television presenter.

## Tribe History

Sook Jai was the weakest tribe of the two throughout the season. The tribe lost the first consecutive immunity challenges, forcing a battle between the men and women. In the end, the women prevailed to send home Sarge, Carmen and Lisa. At the merge, the tribe was somewhat connected but completely crumbled at the unmerge, with Gia, Bee and Dusk wanting to switch alliances. In the end, the Sook Jai members left in an uphill battle with Kay J becoming Runner-Up due to her other connections. Their tribe colour was purple.

The original Sook Jai tribe consisted of Bee, Carmen, Derrick, Dusk, Gia, Kay J, Lisa, Sarge and Troye. With the women outnumbering the men, it seemed that the women would remain together. The tribe was extremely dysfunctional and lost the first three immunity challenges. At the first two tribal councils, the Sook Jai Alliance of women banded together to send home Sarge and Carmen. Derrick and Troye, as the only men of the tribe, were seen on the outs at their third loss. However, Kay J and Gia had other ideas and with the help of the boys, Lisa was sent home.

    At this point, the tribes merged. However, after the eliminations of Troye and Scoop, the tribe was unmerged. Gia won the previous immunity challenge and had the chance to choose her own tribe. She chose Dusk and Bee for their close bond as well as Jenna, Symon and Adam for their strength in challenges. Gia stated that she wanted a tribe that she wanted to work with, but could also cut members if they lost a challenge. When they lost the first immunity challenge together, Gia's plan worked and Jenna was voted out. At their second loss, the women voted together to send Symon to the jury. The post unmerge Sook Jai tribe was in the majority during the official merge. However, Gia and her alliance of women were the targets early on because of their domineering personalities. Dusk was the last member of this tribe standing at the Final Four, but was voted out when she was in the minority.
Yawa

**Highest Placing Member**: Ika (4/18)

Yawa was a tribe from Survivor: Mamanuca Islands.

The strongest of the three original tribes, both Yawa iterations were known for having manipulative women run circles around the athletic (and often, strategically inept) men. Their tribe colour was red.

## Tribe History

The red Yawa tribe was formed on Day 1 of *Survivor: Mamanuca Islands*. A strong trio was formed between Chanelle, Kieran and Tom, whilst Ika was in between two pairings with Elena and Jose separately. It was agreed by Ika and Elena that they would play down their relationship and try to gain information from the majority. Elena achieved this by flirting with alpha males Kieran and Tom, whilst Ika failed but found a Hidden Immunity Idol. The original iteration of Yawa was an extremely strong tribe and never attended tribal council.

    At the Tribe Switch, Jose, Kieran and Tom remained on Yawa and were joined by Bill from Levu and Neda from Soko. Despite not being aligned with each other originally, Jose decided to trust Kieran and Tom because he was aware of their tactics. The Yawa Men asserted their dominance, forcing Bill and Neda to align with each other. To build trust between the pair, Bill told Neda about the idol she found on Levu. Neda saw this as an opportunity to guarantee her own safety, and told the Yawa Men about Bill's idol.

The tribe won their first two immunity challenges together, but lost on Day 16. Neda pretended to bring in Jose to blindside Kieran with Bill, but this was a ploy and Bill was unanimously voted out with an idol in her pocket. The following morning, the tribes merged and the Yawa tribe was disbanded.
Survivor: Nicaragua

 No. of Castaways
 Tribes
La Flor
 Winner

*Survivor: Nicaragua* is the eighth season of Huyopa 2001's Survivor. The season consisted of 20 castaways.

This season was intriguing having a central focus around ever-changing allies and alliance powers. The eventual winner, Darcy was cunning and socially aware although shy and smart outside of the game. Her fellow finalsts included controversial villain Priya and handsome hunk turned analytic thinker Matthew. In the Final Tribal Council, Darcy defeated Priya and Matthew in a 6-2-1 vote.

## Twists/ Changes

**Family Relationships**: Despite not being a Blood vs. Water season, two castaways within the game are a pair of cousins with a pre-existing relationship.

Hidden Immunity Idol: The Hidden Immunity Idol was in play once again this season without the exact same rules as before. However, in a change from previous seasons, only one idol would be hidden at each pre-merge camp.

**Tribe Switch**: On Day 12, the two tribes were switched. This meant that the remaining castaways split into the new Espada and La Flor tribes.

Double Tribal Council: On Day 16, both tribes had to vote out one member of their tribes. This meant that neither tribe had immunity from Tribal Council.

## Trivia

* With this season, Nicaragua becomes the first location to be used in three different seasons (after *Redemption Island* and *San Juan Del Sur*).
* *Survivor: Nicaragua* is the first season to contain a castaway playing for the fifth time (Erinn).
* This is the first season where idols were in play, but only hidden during the pre-merge.
* Half of the cast from *Nicaragua*, including Adelaide, Alana, Beau, Darcy, Kyle, Lana, Matthew, Richard, Peighton and Priya, improved on their previous placements.
Vikki (Japan)

Survivor: Japan
Tribe(s): Jishin, Jishwa Kara
Finish: 10/22
Days Lasted: 27

Vikki is a contestant from *Survivor: Japan*.

## Survivor: Japan

Vikki was one of the four intruders to join *Survivor: Japan* at the tribe switch along with Igor, Jessica and Dustin. The four were placed on the black Jishin tribe along with Jaymi and Harriet. The tribe was strong enough to win the first four immunity challenges they had together. At the tribes only loss, Vikki and the Intruder Alliance unanimously voted out Jaymi.

At this point, Vikki made the merge and was in her main alliance with the other intruders. At the first vote, the intruders voted for Dion but Harriet was voted out. Vikki, Dustin and Igor wanted to blindside Jessica for turning on them but the majority sent Quentin home. Shorty after Quentin's elimination, the merged tribe had to attend another tribal. By this time, the Intruders Alliance failed to stick together. With strenuous convincing from Alexys and Peighton, Vikki was voted out. At the Final Tribal Council, Vikki voted for Igor to win the title of Sole Survivor.
