Tribe History
Episode 9-11
In I'm in Such a Hot Pickle! (Episode 9), the two tribes of Malakal and Airai merged. Erik Reichenbach thought up the name Dabu, telling everyone it meant good Micronesian. In reality he just thought is was a cool word so the tribe became Dabu, featuring six favorites and four fans. The favorites had the numbers, but Parvati did not trust Eliza at all since Eliza had targeted her previously. With Parvati's original alliance of herself, James, Ozzy, Cirie, and Amanda, her new alliance of herself, Amanda, Natalie, and Alexis, and Ozzy trusting Erik, that left Jason and Eliza on the outside, but Jason told Eliza that he had the idol. Things got temporarily complicated for Amanda when Parvati included her in a new alliance without her knowing, and with Alexis growing closer to Ozzy. Jason won the first immunity challenge. Jason revealed his idol which was actually a fake that Ozzy made, which frustrated Eliza. However, she decided to play it anyway, much to the amusement of Ozzy. Eliza was voted off by a vote of 8-2, becoming the first Jury member.
In I Promise... (Episode 10), the castaways were split into two teams for the reward challenge. The team of Amanda, Erik, Jason, and Ozzy won the reward. Cirie was sent to Exile Island. Parvati won the second individual immunity challenge. Ozzy was blindsided by a vote of 5-4, becoming the second Jury member.
In I'm Ruthless... and Have a Smile on My Face (Episode 11), the Survivor Auction was held, with Jason being Exiled. Erik won the immunity challenge. Jason was voted off by a vote of 4-3-1, becoming the third member of the Jury.
Episode 12-13
In I'm Gonna Fix Her! (Episode 12), Alexis win the reward challenge. Alexis invites Cirie and Natalie on the reward. Amanda is exiled. Erik wins the immunity challenge. James is evacuated due to medical reasons and becomes the fourth Jury member. Amanda uses the Hidden Immunity Idol she found on Exile Island, which proves to save herself, negating the four votes against her. Alexis was voted off by a vote of 2-0, becoming the fifth Jury member.
In If It Smells Like a Rat, Give It Cheese (Episode 13), Erik wins the reward challenge and invites Amanda to partake in it. Erik wins his third straight immunity challenge. At the Tribal Council, Erik mistakenly gives his necklace to Natalie, and the four girls eliminate Erik, making him the sixth Jury member.
Season Finale
In the season finale Stir the Pot! (Episode 14), the four-girl alliance must face off against each other. Amanda wins the last two immunity challenges. Natalie found herself on the outs as the last fan standing, and is voted off by a vote of 3-1, becoming the seventh Jury member. The final three are shocked to learn that there would be a final 2 this season. At the penultimate Tribal Council, Amanda casts the only ballot, and based on her friendship with Parvati and how difficult going up against Cirie in the Final 2 would be, she sends Cirie to Jury, making her the eighth and last Jury member. The final two of Amanda and Parvati face the jury.
At the Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites Reunion Show, Parvati is announced the winner by a vote of 5-3.
