- Kelestarting tribeJeff Probst said it refers to courage.
- Ulistarting tribeJeff Probst said it refers to patience.

Uli Alliance

Formed on Uli by Nate, Rizo, Savannah and Shannon, and added Sophi at the tribe switch. It survived Nate's blindside at the merge and went on to dominate the season.

Hina Alliance
Over · Ep 12Formed Episode 7 (Day 13) · ended Episode 12 (Day 23): ended in a betrayal
The original Hina players left at the merge, joined by Jawan and Sage, took early control by blindsiding Nate, but poor coordination and Sophie's move to the Uli side let their rivals whittle them down. Members come from the season summary because the alliance has no wiki page yet; Sophie's switch date is from the Uli Alliance page.
With the game tied 3-3, Kristina and Sage turned on Steven and voted him out on Day 23.

What was left of the Uli Alliance after Nate's blindside at the first merged Tribal: Rizo, Savannah and Sophi. Rizo's idol and Savannah's immunity wins let them wear down the Hina side and reach the final four together. The season page names the trio; it has no alliance page of its own, so its start is dated from Nate's exit.
Sophi won the final immunity and took Sage to the end instead, so Savannah and Rizo had to make fire; Rizo lost.

Who was in danger
What this shows: before each , the 5 players a simple score ranked most at risk, and whether the person voted out was one of them. Tap a name to follow them.
Going into the vote in Episode 13: 3 players at risk, Savannah and Sophi safe with immunity.
Kristina was voted out (1st on our list). Not counted in the hit rate: only 3 people were at risk, so any top 5 would include them.
How this is scored
| Input | Points |
|---|---|
| Votes received so farper vote that counted, all season (a revote counts once) | +1 |
| Votes at their last tribalper vote against them at the last tribal council they went to | +2 |
| Individual immunity winsper win so far: winners are seen as threats | +2 |
| Holding an idol or advantageif they hold one going in: they can protect themselves | −2 |
| Voted on the losing sideif their vote at their last tribal didn't go to the person sent home | +3 |
Scored after the challenge and before the vote: whoever won immunity is safe and left out. Only things that already happened count. Ties are listed A to Z. A vote counts toward the hit rate when more than 5 people were at risk and at least one of them had a score.
This is a simple model, not a prediction engine: it can't see alliances forming, camp life, idols nobody knows about or who is seen as a jury threat. The “by chance” number is what picking 5 names at random would score on the same votes.
Biggest blindside of the season

Survivor words, explained
What this shows: The show's terms in plain English. Any underlined word on this page opens the same explanation when you tap it.
Jury
Players knocked out late in the game. They stay on to watch the rest of it, and at the finale they vote for who wins.
Finalist
One of the last two or three players, who face the jury's vote for the win.
Returning player
Someone who had already played the show (or the other show) before this season.
Boot
Fan slang for a player being voted out or evicted. "First boot" means the first person out.
Blindside
A player is voted out without seeing it coming, usually because their allies voted against them.
Confessional (the edit)
A short interview to camera, away from the other players, cut into the episode. Fans count them to see whose story the editors are telling.
Tribe
The team a castaway lives and competes with before the merge. Each tribe has its own camp and colour.
Tribal council
The meeting where players vote someone out. Each player secretly writes down a name; whoever gets the most votes leaves the game.
Immunity
Protection from being voted out at the next tribal council. Tribes win it as a group early on; after the merge, one player wins it in a challenge.
Hidden immunity idol (idol)
A hidden object a player can find and play at tribal council after the votes are cast. Votes against the protected player don't count.
Advantage
A secret power found around camp or on a trip, such as an extra vote or the chance to block someone's vote.
Tribe swap
The players are reshuffled into new tribes, which splits up old loyalties.
Merge
The point where the tribes join into one. From then on everyone competes for themselves and immunity is individual.
Mergatory
Fan nickname for the stretch just before or around the merge, when the game is in limbo between tribes and individual play.
Final tribal council (FTC)
The last vote of the season. The finalists make their case and the jury votes for who should win.
Shot in the Dark
A one-time gamble at tribal council: a player gives up their vote for a small chance (about 1 in 6) of being safe.
Fire-making challenge
At the final four, the player with immunity is safe and picks one other to be safe. The last two race to build a fire, and the loser goes home.
Split vote
The majority spreads its votes across two names on purpose, so an idol can't save everyone. If an idol saves one name, the other still goes home.
Tie and revote
If two players get the same number of votes, everyone except them votes again between the tied players.
Medical evacuation (medevac)
A player is removed from the game by the medical team. No vote happens.
Alliance
A group of players who agree to vote together and protect each other. Alliances are secret, often shift, and are named by the players or by fans.
Voting bloc
Players who keep writing down the same name. We work blocs out from the vote records alone, so a bloc hints at an alliance without proving one.
Redemption Island
A twist where voted-out players go to a separate island instead of home. They fight in duels, the loser of each duel is out for good, and the last one standing returns to the game.
Edge of Extinction
A twist where voted-out players can stay on a bare island instead of going home. They can later win a challenge to get back into the game, and those who stay still vote on the jury.
Exile Island
A separate camp where a player is sent alone for a while, often with a clue to a hidden idol. They are still in the game and come back for the next challenge.
Rock draw
If a revote is still tied and the players can't agree, everyone not tied or immune draws a rock. Whoever draws the odd-coloured rock goes home.
