Samoa. Thirteen new players and eleven returnees arrived in Samoa, where they were divided into two tribes based on their personality, occupation and/or past gameplay: “Heroes” and “Villains”. The Heroes dominated the early immunity challenges, with a hierarchy forming around the strong men like Shaun and Sam while social threats like Hayley and Flick kept the target focused on the weaker members. The Villains tribe was primarily run by the "Spice Girls" trio of George, Shonee and Liz, with Simon and Jordie winding up in the minority. After a tribe swap, George and Shonee successfully took control of the new Heroes tribe while the “alpha males” dominated the new Villains tribe under Shaun's leadership. Both swapped tribes openly exchanged information and advantages during challenges, including immunity idols. Liz found herself at the bottom of her new tribe, but when given the opportunity to mutiny to the other tribe shortly before the merge, she accepted, rejoining Shonee and George. At the merge, George and the other Villains pulled in former Heroes Hayley, Gerry and Matt to form a new majority called “the Vigilantes”. The alliance picked off the minority one by one, with George pre-empting several blindside attempts against him by betraying former allies like Shonee and Hayley. George planned to go to the end with Matt and Gerry, but was foiled when Liz won the final two immunity challenges, resulting in George being voted out in fourth place. Liz, Matt and Gerry then faced the jury at the final tribal council, where all three were questioned on what moves they made outside of George's influence. Matt was criticised for his lack of independent strategy, while Gerry was criticised for failing to make strong social bonds with the jury. Liz took credit for taking revenge against George on behalf of Shonee, and the jury voted unanimously in her favour, awarding her the $500,000 and title of Sole Survivor.
