this season's theme was each person would have a hidden enemy only they knew about. if they got that person out then they would get an idol. the pairs were:
bradyman and dane
loop and lazarus
qwert and kaya
inkread and rubiks
jacco and kidinho
hayden and sectionleader
brandon and sakura
ilovesleep and dorkish
this game began poorly. bradyman and dane were captains who selected the tribes. part of the hidden enemies twist was that brady and dane were the public pair of hidden enemies. the reason y this season began poorly was because dorkish brady and kidinho all quit. with 13 people left and the 1st immunity challenge underway, boran defeated samburu and samburu chose to get rid of by far their most innactive member in sectionleaser. samburu lost their next 2 challenges as well and got rid of realsakura and loop. with 10 left, the merge was underway and samburu was in trouble. inkread and qwert appeared to b running the show while boran chose to stick together and get rid of brandon. with 9 left, hayden was on the chopping block but inkread changed the vote and was able to convince qwert and kaya to vote out rubiks cuz he was inkread's hidden enemy. with inkread having an idol, she was clearly in control of this game. with 8 left, hayden foolishly already used his idol and took immunity for the FINAL 7 tribal council. this made boran's decision easy to get rid of hayden for 8th. ilovesleep then got banned so enough boran voted him out while he was banned. with 6 left the game changed bigtime. inkread thought she had jacco in her back pocket. she thought wrong. jacco organized kaya, dane and lazarus to take a stand against inkread and qwert who were running the show. jaccos plan worked and he was able to blindside inkread with an idol in her pocket. with qwert by himself now, he followed inkread out the door. with 4 left jacco continued to b the most powerful player in the game but wen kaya won immunity, he had to cut loose a great ally in lazarus. kaya was not part of the final 3 deal that jacco dane and lazarus had. kaya then went on a winning streak and won the final 3 challenge. now i believe this was 1 of the worst mistakes in survivor history. if kaya had taken dane, i believe kaya had the game won. but instead, jacco convinced kaya to take him to the final 2 despite being a MUCH bigger threat. jacco then went on to win the game in a 4-1 jury vote.
