Survivor: Kaôh Rōng

Survivor: Kaôh Rōng, also known as Survivor: Kaôh Rōng — Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty, is the thirty-second season of Survivor. It utilizes the same tribe division twist as Survivor: Cagayan.

The season saw a record number of medical evacuations, and was ultimately won by Michele Fitzgerald in a 5-2-0 vote over Aubry Bracco and Tai Trang.

Production

Though billed as the 32nd season, Kaôh Rōng was filmed earlier than its "predecessor" season, Survivor: Cambodia.^[2] This marks the first time the show has aired seasons out of order.

The pre-jury contestants were sequestered and had their trip in Vietnam.^[3]

Twists/Changes

• Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty: The division of the tribes is based on the most prominent personal attributes of each castaway.
  • The Chan Loh tribe is the "Brains" tribe; consisting of players who mostly rely on intelligence to get by in life.
  • The Gondol tribe is the "Beauty" tribe; consisting of players who mostly rely on their looks and social skills.
  • The To Tang tribe is the "Brawn" tribe; consisting of players who mostly rely on their brute strength and endurance.
• Hidden Immunity Idol: While the current format still applies, there is also the option to combine two idols to create a "super idol" that can be played after the votes are read to save any player still in the game.^[4]
• Tribe Switch: On Day 12, a tribe switch occurred, simultaneously dissolving the To Tang tribe and mixing 12 of the 13 castaways into two tribes of six. The odd person out who drew the red buff would be exiled until the next Tribal Council.
• One-Time Exile: During the tribe switch, twelve people would be assigned to either Chan Loh or Gondol, leaving one person without a tribe. That person would be sent to the former To Tang camp, where they would be ineligible for the next vote, and would join the losing tribe at the next Reward Challenge.
• Early Merge: This season merged with eleven castaways in the game.
• Extra Vote: A castaway would get the right to vote twice at the same Tribal Council.
• Juror Removal: A castaway would get the power to eliminate a juror of their choice.
• Final Three: Instead of the conventional Final Two facing the jury, the Day 39 Tribal Council was held with a Final Three facing a seven-person jury.

Season Summary

The 18 new castaways were divided into three tribes based on primary attribute: Chan Loh (Brains), To Tang (Brawn), and Gondol (Beauty). It was all but total disaster for the Brawn tribe. They lost three of the four Immunity Challenges and coupled with tension surrounding the outspoken Alecia Holden, they saw half their tribe members leave the game. Contrarily, the Brains tribe only lost one member in spite of their constant manipulations and ego permeating. While the Beauty tribe went undefeated in Immunity Challenges, they also suffered a major setback when Caleb Reynolds was medically evacuated after collapsing from heat exhaustion on Day 9.

Following the tribe switch on Day 12, few major cross-tribal alliances formed aside from the unlikely friendship of Tai Trang and Scot Pollard. This ultimately proved crucial for Tai's survival, as original Gondol members Anna Khait and Julia Sokolowski were targeted in his place. Though the former of the two was eliminated, Julia narrowly escaped the same fate after original Brain Aubry Bracco flipped against her former tribe and voted out Peter Baggenstos on Day 16.

This initially seemed to be a costly mistake on Aubry's part, as the remaining Brawn and Beauty members formed an alliance against the Brains following the merge on Day 17. However, Cydney Gillon had grown tired of the men's overconfidence and banded the women together to vote out Nick Maiorano, forming a new majority. Though the minority alliance held two Hidden Immunity Idols, Aubry convinced Tai to betray his allies, getting rid of one of the idols and joining the majority.

From there, a core alliance of Aubry, Michele Fitzgerald, and Cydney would vote off Scot's remaining allies, eventually becoming the final four along with Tai. With Michele winning immunity on Day 37, Aubry and Cydney were forced to turn on one another, resulting in a fire making tiebreaker. Aubry ultimately won, joining Michele and Tai in the finals. At the Final Tribal Council, the jury was skeptical of both Michele and Aubry's games, while not respecting Tai's due to his constant floating and flipping. Ultimately, Michele's social game impressed the jury more than Aubry's strategic game, winning her the title of Sole Survivor in a 5-2-0 vote.

			Reward	Immunity
1	"I'm a Mental Giant"	February 17, 2016	Chan Loh1 Challenge Title: Wooden Ships The tribes will swim out to a boat. Once the entire tribe is on board their boat, one person at a time will dive down to retrieve paddles. Once they have all four paddles, they will race to shore, where they will convert their boat to a cart by attaching four wheels. They will then push their boat to the top of the beach. Once at the top, they will have to decide between assembling a puzzle or testing their dexterity by stacking balls while standing on a wobbly beam. The first two tribes to finish win immunity. Reward: A fire-making kit for the winning tribe, and flint for the runner-up.		Darnell After making a costly mistake at the Immunity Challenge, Darnell was voted off after the earliest tie in Survivor history over apparent weak link Alecia.	3-3; 4-02	1st Voted Out Day 3	8.30[5]	1.9/7
			Gondol1
2	"Kindergarten Camp"	February 24, 2016	Gondol1 Challenge Title: Dragging the River Each tribe will race down the river to retrieve a very heavy log. They will then carry it through a series of obstacles. Once they placed the log in a cradle, they will untie a ball from the log and use it with a slingshot to knock down two targets. The first two tribes to finish win immunity and reward. Reward: An ultimate fishing kit and a boat waiting at camp for the winning tribe, and simple fishing gear for the runner-up.		Jennifer Having exposed her plans for an all-female alliance at Tribal Council, Jennifer was voted off for her duplicitous scheming.	3-2	2nd Voted Out Day 6	8.39[6]	1.9/6
			Chan Loh1
3	"The Circle of Life"	March 2, 2016	Gondol1 Challenge Title: Rice Race The tribes must maneuver three bags of rice across an obstacle course in the water. At the end of the course, they must open the bags to retrieve three balls and compete in the maze of holes. First two tribes to get a ball at the top of the maze win immunity. Reward: The winning tribe gets a choice between comfort and emotional items; the runner-up receives the option not taken by the winners.		Liz Having associated with Peter, Liz was put up for elimination without her knowledge. After a revote involving the two, and Aubry, Liz was blindsided in favor of Peter's indispensability in challenges, despite his abrasive behavior.	2-2-2; 3-0-03	3rd Voted Out Day 8	9.24[7]	2.2/8
			To Tang1
4	"Signed, Sealed and Delivered"	March 9, 2016	Chan Loh Challenge Title: Dig It The tribes would race through a series of obstacles to a log, which they must dig under and get themselves through. They would then make their way to a sandy pit where they have to dig up three bags of balls. Once they had all the balls, they would roll those balls attempting to land them in a series of targets. The first two tribes to finish win reward. Reward: A Survivor kitchen set for the winners; salt, pepper and some dishes for the runner-up.	Chan Loh Challenge Title: Snake, Rattle & Roll Two tribe members would race into the jungle and climb up a ladder to retrieve puzzle pieces and bring them back. Then two more tribe members would swim out into the ocean, then dive down and retrieve more puzzle pieces. Once a tribe has collected all the puzzle pieces, they would use them to complete a snake puzzle. The first two tribes to finish win immunity.	Caleb After suffering a severe heat stroke at the Reward Challenge, Caleb's heart rate plummeted to the point where it concerned the medical team. Fearing for his life, the staff pulled him from the game.	No vote	Evacuated Day 9	9.26[8]	2.1/8
			Gondol	Gondol	Alecia Believing Alecia's elimination was long overdue, the decimated Brawn tribe promptly voted her out, 3-1.	3-1	4th Voted Out Day 11
5	"The Devils We Know"	March 16, 2016	None	Julia4	Anna With the element of Julia's imminent return present, targets were immediately put on Tai and Anna in order to prevent a potential Beauty majority on the Gondol tribe. As Anna was the more strategically threatening of the duo, she was blindsided after being left without her allies.	5-1	5th Voted Out Day 13	9.50[9]	2.1/8
				Chan Loh Challenge: New School Two tribe members would swim out and untie a net with fish puzzle pieces. After taking the net back to the shore, two other tribe members would untie the puzzle pieces from the net and hang them on hooks. They would then carry the log with the hooks to a puzzle station, where the last two tribe members would use the puzzle pieces to complete a puzzle. The first tribe to complete their puzzle wins immunity.
6	"Play or Go Home"	March 23, 2016	Gondol Challenge: Baba Buoys Starting from a platform in the ocean, one member of each tribe would swim to a buoy, swim down and untie knots, releasing more buoys. Four tribe members would then corral the buoys to shore and place them on a rack. The final two castaways would then shoot the buoys into a basket. The first tribe to shoot ten buoys into the basket would win reward. Reward: A Survivor picnic complete with breads, fruit, cold cuts and beverages.	Chan Loh Challenge: Get Over It Working together, the tribes had to climb over a wooden frame, a barrel and a see-saw to an overhanging net with wooden blocks above it. Using sticks two tribe members would knock the blocks out of the net. Once they had all of the blocks they would stack them into a tower at a platform. The first tribe to complete their stack and get back to their tribe mat would win immunity.	Peter Peter isolated himself from both his original Brains group and from the Julia-Scot-Tai trio. His scheming and perceived arrogance finally caught up to him as Aubry's last minute vote-change resulted in his elimination.	4-2	6th Voted Out Day 16	9.31[10]	2.1/8
7	"It's Merge Time"	March 30, 2016	None	Nick Challenge: Roller Ball The castaways would have to balance balls upon a dish while standing on a perch. A ball would be added every five minutes until the third ball, after which the challenge will go on until only one castaway remains. If a ball drops, or if the castaway steps off the perch, he would be eliminated from the challenge.	Neal After suffering an injury to the knee, Neal was inflicted with a destructive and potentially crippling staph infection to a joint. The medical staff deemed him unfit to continue, fearing for his mobility, and pulled him from the game to seek treatment.	No vote	Evacuated Removed from Jury6 Day 19	9.16[11]	2.0/7
8	"The Jocks vs. the Pretty People"	April 6, 2016	Debbie, Julia, Nick, Scot, Tai Challenge Title: United We Stand Castaways are divided into two teams of five. Teams will have to transport one member using two poles from one platform to another. Once the member made it to the second platform, the team will have to swim to another much smaller platform which they must get all their members onto. The first team to get all of their members on the final platform with their feet on or above the platform wins. Reward: An ice-cream feast delivered to camp.	Tai Challenge: Uncomfortably Numb The castaways must balance their feet on a very narrow perch attached to a pole, while grasping two handles located behind them and above their head. If at any point they let go of the handles or a foot comes off the perch, then they are out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins immunity. Additional Stipulation: Shortly after the five-minute mark in the challenge, Jeff will offer the castaways with a feast of fast food and beverages. The offer is one-time only, and no more food was offered after the 10 second window closed.	Nick Upset by Nick's overconfidence at camp, Cydney led the women in a charge against the men in order to gain a numbers' advantage on them. Because of his arrogance, Nick was targeted first and was quickly blindsided at his first Tribal Council.	6-2-1-1	7th Voted Out 1st Jury Member Day 22	8.98 [12]	1.9/7
9	"It's Psychological Warfare"	April 13, 2016	Jason, Julia, Scot, Tai Challenge: Knot Your Fault Working together, the teams must untangle ropes tied to the contestants. Once their ropes have been untangled they will open a box containing sandbags and use the sandbags to knock over wooden blocks on a platform. The first team to knock off all their blocks wins reward. Reward: Chinese takeout delivered to camp.	Julia Challenge: Backed Up The contestants must stack wooden blocks along a platform while avoiding tripping hazards. Once all of their blocks are stacked the contestants must knock them over like dominoes. The first contestant to topple all of their blocks, such that the final block hits a gong at the end, wins immunity.	Debbie Fearing that Debbie may become a loose cannon - trusting double agent Julia and leaking information to her - Aubry targeted her in hopes of strengthening the women's alliance. She managed to pull Julia into the plan and, together with Cydney and Michele, blindsided Debbie.	4-3-2	8th Voted Out 2nd Jury Member Day 24	8.39[13]	1.9/7
10	"I'm Not Here to Make Good Friends"	April 20, 2016	Julia Challenge Title: Free Will The contestants must balance two ceramic pots on the end of a balance beam with one leg. If their pots fall off, they are out of the challenge. The last person standing wins their chosen reward. Reward: A choice between "Food" (bacon cheeseburger with french fries, beer and chocolate chip cookies), "Love" (a letter from home) or "Advantage" (secretly revealed as an Extra Vote). Additional Stipulation: There would be three different winners in this challenge, where the castaways would be categorized based on which type of reward they chose.	Jason Challenge Title: This Much The castaways must support two discs with ceramic pots attached to two posts with only their fingertips. If they drop their discs, they are out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins immunity.	Scot Despite having burned their bridges with everyone but Julia, Jason and Scot entered Tribal Council believing that Tai was still under their thumbs. When the votes came up, Scot kept the idol that Jason had passed to him prior to the proceedings, expecting Tai to form a super idol to save him. This fatal move backfired when Tai withdrew his idol, resulting in Scot's blindside.	4-2-2	9th Voted Out 3rd Jury Member Day 27	9.27[14]	2.0/7

11	"It's a 'Me' Game, Not a 'We' Game"	April 27, 2016	Cydney, Michele [Aubry] Challenge Title: The Hook The castaways will be paired up, and must race through a series of obstacles collecting rings along the way. Once they collect three rings, they will attempt to pitch them like horseshoes and land them on a swinging hook. The first pair to finish wins reward. Reward: A helicopter tour of the island, followed by a picnic lunch.	Michele Challenge: Running the Numbers The castaways will race out to a platform in the water where they will have to memorize symbols and their corresponding numbers. They will then race back to the beach, to see a group of symbols and use the numbers that correspond to those symbols (from memory) to solve a combination that will release a key by turning a dial. If they get the combination right, the key will open a box containing puzzle pieces. The first person to solve their word puzzle wins immunity.	Julia After being relegated to the bottom of the tribe with Jason, Julia was seen to be a bigger threat than her partner in crime, causing the majority alliance to switch their vote from physical threat Jason to jury threat Julia. Ultimately, this resulting in her elimination after the pair failed to create a counter-alliance.	5-2	10th Voted Out 4th Jury Member Day 29	9.47[15]	2.1/8
12	"Now's the Time to Start Scheming"	May 4, 2016	Jason, Michele, Tai Challenge: Weight and Sea Working in teams, the castaways must first traverse a water obstacle course. Once all three members have reached the end of the course, they must retrieve one of three balls. They must then work together to move the ball through a maze, using just their body weight to move the ball. The first team to get all three of their balls through the maze wins. Reward: Picnic at an animal sanctuary with a tour of the premises.	Cydney Challenge: Got a Hunch The castaways must stack blocks in a tower on a wobbly platform. They had to pull on a rope to keep the table balanced while retrieving their blocks. The first contestant to stack their blocks to spell "IMMUNITY" wins immunity.

13	"With Me or Not with Me"	May 11, 2016	Joe [Aubry, Cydney] Challenge Title: 5x5 The final five will each race into the jungle to a large wooden ladder. They will climb up the ladder and retrieve bags of sandbags. Next, they will race back to the beach and attempt to launch those sandbags into a series of targets. If a castaway runs out of sandbags, he or she is out of the challenge. First person to get one sandbag in each of their five targets wins reward. If all five castaways run out of bags, the bags will be replenished. Reward: An overnight trip to a Survivor spa with a meal of chicken, beef, and cheesecake.	None	Joe After gorging excessively at the reward, Joe became constipated and showed signs of urine retention. Fearing that his bladder might burst, thus leading to kidney complications, the medical team pulled Joe from the game to seek medical attention.

14	"Not Going Down Without a Fight"	May 18, 2016	Aubry [Cydney] Challenge: Home Stretch The castaways will race under a net crawl. Then, they will make their way to a table where they will slide tiles into a target. Once all the tiles are in the target, they will use a machete to transport them through a series of obstacles to a finish table. Next, they will sort the tiles into pairs. Three of the tiles will not match up. Those three tiles hold the combination to unlock a box. The first person to unlock their box and raise their flag wins reward. Reward: A meal consisting of steak, vegetables, a protein bar, and refreshing drinks.	Michele Challenge: Gimme Three Steps They will race out into the ocean, climb up a stool and retrieve a key. They will use that key to unlock a set of stairs back on the beach at the bottom of a tower. At the top of the stairs, they will find a second key. They will head back out into the water and use that key to unlock a ball attached to a rope. Next, they will use the ball to drop a ladder back on the beach, which gets them to the second level of the tower. At the top of the ladder, they will find a third key. They will head out one last time into the water and use that key to release a pole. They will use the pole to knock off a bag of puzzle pieces that is on a perch above their head. Finally, they will go back to shore, climb the three levels of the tower and use the puzzle pieces to solve a three-tiered puzzle. The first to finish wins immunity.	Cydney Tai decided to side with Aubry at the penultimate Tribal Council, thus forcing a tie between Cydney and Aubry. Aubry won the firemaking tiebreaker, and Cydney left the game emotionally.	2-2; Tiebreaker5	12th Voted Out 7th Jury Member Day 37	9.57[18]	2.1/7
			Michele Challenge: Stacked Up The castaways would compete in the unused task from the first challenge of the season, Dexterity. The final three will use a long fork to stack balls and stands on top of one another in an attempt to get six balls and six stands on the free-standing structure. This must be done while negotiating an unstable balancing beam. The first castaway to do so wins reward. Reward: The ability to remove one person from the jury.	None	Neal Michele believed that Neal would support Aubry at Final Tribal Council, and saw his eloquence to be a greater threat to her game than Joe's simple loyalty. Thus, to gain an edge over her competitors, Michele removed Neal from the jury.	1-06	Removed from Jury Day 38
