Naviti Alliance

**Highest Ranked**:Tito (Sole Survivor/20)

The Naviti Alliance was an alliance from Survivor: Ghost Island.

This alliance was formed by two strong men, who would create a four person alliance in order to gather intel on Ghost Island. The alliance managed to survive the Tribe Expansion, but thrived during the merge because of their loyalty to one another. In the end, the strength of the alliance meant three of its members made it to Day 39, where one of its founders would be crowned Sole Survivor.

## History

### A Pair Become Four

The founders of the Naviti Alliance were Frank and Tito, who grew close at the beginning of the game for being the most physical members of the original Naviti tribe. On Day 5, Tito found the Naviti idol at camp and was forced to share half with another player for 24 hours in order to activate its full power. He decided to share the idol with Frank in order to strengthen their relationship. Whilst Naviti was winning the first two immunity challenges of the season, Samir and Abigail were sent to Ghost Island in the hopes of obtaining an advantage in the game. Frank and Tito decided to exploit the pair by creating an alliance with them in order to gain intel on their Ghost Island experiences. When Naviti lost their first challenge on Day 9, Joyce was sent to Ghost Island and was exempt from attending tribal council. With the rest of the tribe splitting their votes between Abigail and Jacob, the four members of the Naviti Alliance proved their loyalty and Narinder was voted out.

### Separated at the Expansion

At the Tribe Expansion on Day 10, Abigail and Tito remained on Naviti with Jacob, Krystal and Vincent. As the only member from the original Malolo tribe to switch to Naviti, Tangaroa (nicknamed 'Big T') was seen as an important swing vote for the Naviti Alliance. When Naviti lost on Day 14, Abigail, Big T and Tito were a unified trio against Jacob, Krystal and Vincent. Despite this, the Naviti Alliance had the numbers to eliminate Krystal because Vincent was exiled to Ghost Island. When the tribe lost the following immunity challenge, Big T was unwavering in his loyalty to the the trio and the alliance voted out Vincent.

Meanwhile, Frank was switched to the orange Malolo tribe with Joyce and Toya. As the only member of his alliance on Malolo, Frank chose to work with Angela and Isaac from the Malolo Alliance to ensure he could return to his allies when the tribes merged. Similarly, Samir was the only original Naviti player to wear green as a member of the new Yanuya tribe. Samir and Tariq formed a close social and strategic relationship, as the older Middle Eastern men of the cast, when the pair visited Ghost Island on Day 3. Yanuya did not attend tribal council until Day 19, where they attended a Joint Tribal Council with Malolo. Samir and Tariq voted for Angela, though the Malolo Alliance used their connections and advantages to eliminate Malika.

### Three Undyingly Loyal

The four members of the Naviti Alliance reunited when the tribes merged on Day 20. Samir tried to underplay his relationship with Tariq and suggested the alliance use him as a number. Although Frank expressed his loyalty to the Naviti Alliance over the Malolo Alliance, Big T's allegiance was unclear. At the first merged tribal council, the Naviti Alliance and their new ally Tariq voted for Luna but she saved herself with a Hidden Immunity Idol and Big T was voted out. On Day 25, the Final Twelve castaways were divided into two groups of six as part of a Double Elimination twist. The purple team consisted of Frank, Isaac, Reed, Samir, Tariq and Tito, where the Naviti Alliance planned on voting for Reed. When he saved himself with a Tribal Council Pass, the alliance scrambled and struggled to find a second target. This caused the group to split their votes between Tariq and Tito, though both players had idols played on them. Tito knew his alliance was untrustworthy in this vote, and his sole vote against Isaac was enough to send him to the jury. Meanwhile, Abigail was left without her allies when she was on the orange team with Angela, Jacob, Joyce, Luna and Trisha. She was told to vote for Joyce, though the Malolo Alliance orchestrated a blindside one of their own, Luna.

By the Final Ten, the Naviti Alliance of five had a clear sense of loyalty that could not be shared with the Malolo Alliance. When Frank found an idol on Day 26, he considered sharing half with Tito. He ultimately shared half with Abigail because he worried that sharing with Tito would unnecessarily paint them as a power couple to other players. With the power firmly placed in their hands, the Naviti Alliance agreed that Trisha was their biggest threat. However, Tariq felt Trisha was an important number against the Naviti Alliance and saved her by working with the Malolo Alliance to eliminate Joyce. This caused mistrust between the Naviti Alliance and Tariq, where they retaliated by bringing in Reed and sending Jacob to the jury. By the Final Eight, Abigail, Frank and Tito realised Samir and Tariq were becoming increasingly disillusioned from the alliance because of their tight connection. The trio brought in Angela and Trisha to hold the majority on the tribe in order to eliminate Tariq.

### Reaching Day 39

Abigail, Frank and Tito were confident they could reach the Final Three together because they had effectively taken the power away from every other alliance. The alliance had Angela and Trisha convinced they were the swing votes, whilst Samir and Reed were also feeding information to them. The trio voted for Angela at tribal council and, despite not initially having the numbers, Angela was voted out because Frank saved himself with an idol. Although the alliance wanted to turn on Samir at the Final Six, they eliminated Reed because he was a more unstable player. Trisha was then voted out at the Final Five for being the last remaining member of the Malolo Alliance before the trio eliminated Samir after he failed to win the final individual immunity challenge.

At the Final Tribal Council, the Naviti Alliance emphasised their unwavering loyalty to one another and expressed how they strategised as a unit when voting out every member of the jury. Abigail highlighted her three individual immunity wins as a reason why she made it to Day 39. The jury ultimately perceived her as a strategic non-entity with a weak social and strategic game, causing her to earn no jury votes. Frank was praised for building strong social relationships with much of the jury and surviving every tribal council without winning an immunity challenge. The jury wanted Frank to articulate whether the votes cast against him at the last five tribal councils of the season were a reflection on his growing threat level or his status as an expendable player, which Frank could not reasonably answer. He finished as the Runner-Up after earning four jury votes from Angela, Isaac, Luna and Reed. Tito was similarly praised for his strong social game, which many felt was unexpected considering his physical stature. He explained his idol play on Day 25, which meant his sole vote eliminated Isaac. Although some jurors felt Tito needed to make bigger moves towards the end of the season, he explained that he made subtle moves that kept himself insulated within his unbreakable Naviti Alliance. In the end, Tito was crowned Sole Survivor after earning six jury votes from Big T, Joyce, Jacob, Tariq, Trisha and Samir.
