Season chronology


For the first time in Survivor, the contestants were divided into four tribes by race and one ethnicity; African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and Caucasian-American. Besides random division or team-choosing by the contestants, tribes had previously been divided by gender and/or age. The respective tribes' names were Manihiki ("Hiki"), Puka Puka ("Puka"), Aitutaki ("Aitu") and Rarotonga ("Raro"). These four tribes were named after four islands located in the Cook Islands.

Tribes

  • Aitutaki - Red
  • Puka Puka - Green
  • Manihiki - Yellow
  • Rarotonga - Blue
  • Aitutonga (Merged) - Black

Note 1: No reward challenge.

Note 2: No reward challenge or exilee, due to the merge.

Note 3: Instead of a Reward Challenge, there was a Survivor Auction where Becky won the right to send someone to Exile Island and chose Candice.

[edit] Elimination Notes

  1. Sekou Bunch - Two alliances: Sekou and Nathan, and Sundra and Rebecca, formed, with Stephannie as the self-proclaimed swing vote. In the end she decided to vote with the girls and Sekou was voted out. Sekou was seen as a tribe leader, albeit a lazy one. (3–2)
  2. Billy Garcia - Believing that Billy was a liability to their tribe because of his poor work ethic and his attempts to pit them against each other, the Aitutaki tribe decided to intentionally lose the immunity challenge to vote him out. Following the immunity challenge, Candice from Rarotonga, in an effort to cheer Billy up, said, "We love you," with "we" meaning the Rarotonga tribe as a whole, but Billy mistakenly believed that Candice was making a singular declaration of love to him. (4–1)
  3. Cecilia Mansilla - The newly reshuffled Aitutaki tribe lost the third immunity challenge. Cao Boi, Ozzy, Sundra, Jessica, and Cecilia conspired to get rid of Becky, whom they perceived to be the weakest person in their tribe. However, Yul and Jonathan, who had an alliance with Becky and the exiled Candice, convinced Cao Boi and Jessica to vote for Cecilia. Their plan worked, and Cecilia was promptly voted out. (5–3)
  4. J.P. Calderon - In a moment of frustration, Stephannie accepted responsibility for losing the Immunity Challenge, but soon regretted doing so. The girls took the opportunity to band together to gain an upper hand on the men, and convinced Adam and Brad to vote out J.P. for his demanding (and somewhat lazy) nature at camp. Going into the vote, it seemed that most of the women would vote for J.P. while most of the men would vote for Stephannie, with Brad and Parvati as swing votes. The recap episode revealed that the women informed all the other men except J.P. of their plan. (7–2)
  5. Stephannie Favor - Cristina's tribemates were ready to vote her out for being bossy like J.P., but Stephannie made a mistake by telling Nate that she was ready to eat mashed potatoes and gravy. This was taken as a second sign that Stephannie had given up, and she was voted out. (7–1)
  6. Anh-Tuan "Cao Boi" Bui - Although Cao Boi trusted most of his tribe in his plan to flush out the Immunity Idol, he was betrayed and was voted for by everyone but Jessica. He was also seen as annoying, and Becky never trusted him again after he attempted to get rid of her in episode 3. (6–1–1)
  7. Cristina Coria - Cristina performed well in the challenge, but her tribemates still saw her as bossy and voted her out. (4–2)
  8. Jessica "Flicka" Smith - Becky, Candice, and Yul plotted to vote out Ozzy before Jessica, but the tribe switched to Jessica for being annoying, outside of the majority alliance, and lobbying too hard. (6–1)
  9. Brad Virata - Brad's comment that the game would soon become "every man for himself" aroused paranoia among the members of Rarotonga. Despite the addition of Jonathan and Candice, the tribe decided to eliminate Brad before he had the chance to switch sides. In a twist, Brad was revealed to be the first member of the jury. (7-1)
  10. Rebecca Borman - After Rarotonga lost another Immunity challenge, members of the tribe felt frustrated by Rebecca's poor performance in the challenges, as well as her laziness around camp. Dubbed "the weakest link," she was the next to go. (6-1)
  11. Jenny Guzon-Bae - In a surprise twist, Raro was forced to vote out another member right after voting out Rebecca. Jenny was voted out because Rarotonga felt they needed Jonathan's strength in challenges and also because there had been earlier speculation that Jenny would become a threat, as she would pull for Candice's elimination and could potentially switch sides after the merge.(4-2)
  12. Nathan Gonzalez - After the merge, the former Rarotonga tribe had the numbers advantage. Yul, sensing that the former Aitutaki members were in trouble, showed Jonathan his hidden immunity idol and convinced him to realign himself with the former Aitutaki members. Believing that his former Rarotonga tribemates were not mentally & strategically focused (insisting to vote for Yul disregarding the immunity idol) Jonathan was given the opportunity to select the member who would be eliminated from the game. He did not want to vote out Adam or Candice because he still felt grateful that they kept him alive in the game, so he chose Nate because he felt that he was the one he knew and trusted the least. (5-4)
  13. Candice Woodcock - Adam, Candice, and Parvati's open attempt to persuade the former Aitutaki members to vote out Jonathan failed. The former Aitutaki members and Jonathan alliance held and Candice was voted out. This was likely a revenge vote from the former Aitutaki tribe, who all openly expressed their disgust for Candice's mutiny from a past episode. She was also seen as an immunity challenge and strategic threat. (5-3)
  14. Jonathan Penner - Though he saved the Aitu 4 from near extinction, the former Aitutaki members turned on Jonathan as they banded with Adam and Parvati in voting him out. (6-1)

[edit] Exile Notes

  1. Jonathan - By losing the Immunity Challenge, Manihiki was allowed to send anyone else to Exile Island. They decided to send Jonathan after they heard that he stole Puka Puka's chicken.
  2. Yul - Aitutaki chose to send Yul, believing him to be Puka Puka's strongest member. During his stay, Yul found the hidden immunity idol.
  3. Candice - After the newly reshuffled Aitutaki tribe lost the Immunity Challenge, Rarotonga was told to choose someone from Aitutaki to go to exile. They chose Candice, protecting her from the next tribal council.
  4. Adam - Aitutaki won the Reward Challenge and selected Adam to go to Exile Island because of his strength. He would later return in time to compete in the Immunity Challenge.
  5. Jonathan - Rarotonga sent Jonathan back to Exile Island because he had been there once before. He suggested that the hidden immunity idol had been found upon his return to the other tribe members after this trip to Exile Island.
  6. None - Due to the double elimination, no one was sent to Exile Island.
  7. Adam - Aitutaki won the Reward Challenge and selected Adam to go to Exile Island because of his strength.
  8. Candice - In a special twist called Mutiny, Candice and Jonathan chose to switch tribes and went back to their original tribe Rarotonga. Aitutaki won the reward challenge and as revenge proved sweet for the "Aitu 4" sent Candice to Exile Island.
  9. Candice - Candice was sent to Exile Island for the third time as part of Aitutaki's revenge for her betrayal. Yul commented that it was strategy as much as it was betrayal.
  10. None - No one was sent to Exile Island, due to the merge.
  11. Candice - During the Survivor Auction, Becky bought a "power that would change the game" for $640, then read it aloud to the other castaways. It stated that she had to choose one person to send to Exile Island immediately and steal whatever that player had not spent. Having been told by Yul that Candice and Adam had not spent any of their auction money, she picked Candice, sending her to Exile Island for the third time in a row. This tied Survivor: Panama- Exile Islands's Terry Deitz's record for most times sent to Exile Island with 5.
  12. Jonathan - Parvati won the reward challenge and had the right to send Jonathan to Exile Island as strategy and revenge.

Note 4: Due to being on Exile Island, Candice was immune and didn't cast a vote at Aitutaki's tribal council on Day 8.

Note 5: Because Aitutaki kidnapped Nathan from the Rarotonga tribe, he was unable to cast a vote for his tribe's tribal council.
