survivor vana watson premiered on september 16th 2004 and for the second time in four
seasons the teams were split up into men versus women to honor the culture of being a water
and vanuatu's culture was on full display in that premiere as it was mostly le pepe the male tribe
that got to partake in the ceremony while yasser the woman tribe got pushed to the side the tribes
didn't have the walk in the dark knight to find their camps rory got annoyed with his tribe on
the way there while early season fractures began to form on yasser as well the next day
chad shocked his tribe and the viewers with his prosthetic leg at the first immunity challenge
lepey had the early lead over yasser all they needed was for chris to get past the bounce
here we beam here we go
chris's epic collapse allowed for yasser to make a comeback and steal the first immunity of vanuatu
so this should be easy i mean chris is already not exactly the most athletic guy in the world
and to be the sole reason why his team lost immunity had to be enough to send him home right
first person voted out of survivor vanuatu islands of fire brooke you need to bring your torch
yep unbelievably chris managed to avoid being the most laughable first boot of all time
as the older and out of shape guys consisting of chris rory chad sergeant bubba formed an
alliance before the season even started against the stronger and younger guys and they chose to
target brooke for being the laziest out of the four in the minority knowing they're in
the minority the strong guys desperately tried to find a way into the majority who call themselves
the fat five on yasser we see two sides start to form as one side is led by amy and the other side
is led by mia the opposing sides are classified as the older woman versus younger woman even
though amy was in the older group while lisa was in the younger group despite lisa being 44 and amy
being 31. anyway yasser would win reward but le pepe would go on to win immunity sending yasser
to the first tribal council going into tribal dolly appeared to be the swing votes between
the two sides with eliza being the target for the older group and liam being the target for
the younger group however not wanting to put her faith into dolly's hands 21 year old eliza
teamed up with the older group to save herself to take out the swing vote dolly in a 5-4 vote
dolly trump has spoken despite voting with the older group at the last tribal eliza
still connected with the younger women more and pledged her allegiance to them once again the age
divide on yasser escalated as me and twilight got into a heated fight you take the martyr
and you play on that role if you are not here we would still have fire and shelter and food
you stay in
at the immunity challenge jeff announced that both tribes will be going to tribal council to vote
somebody out the team that won the challenge would compete for individual immunity and the winner
would not only be safe at their tribal council but would also get to save a player at the opposing
team's tribal council le pevi won the challenge and john k won individual immunity securing his
safety from the fat five john also got to spend the day at yasser's camp to help him with his
decision the producers were probably really hyped at john 1 as he was literally a part-time model
spending the day with an all-female tribe maybe he would use his good looks to his
advantage maybe one of the females would try to make a cross alliance well none of that happened
as john didn't mess around at all at yasser as he wanted to know what the alliances were straight up
and the woman eventually caved telling him that there was an older and younger woman age gap
on the pepe rory was terrified that the fat fight would turn on him due to his
loudmouth personality but at tribal the fat five held strong and voted out jp in a 5-3 vote
jp tribe has spoken
at yasser's tribal council not wanting to stir the pot john gave his immunity
to amy who he knew wasn't in any danger whatsoever due to their fight and general
disdain for each other twyla and mia were the targets for each side
and it looked like we might get a 4-4 split however lisa finally realizing she didn't
belong in the younger group flipped to the older side to take out mia in a 5-3 vote
yeah travis spoke
thanks ladies with two big flips happening at buffalo yasser's tribal councils nobody
knew who they could fully trust at this point but yasser didn't have to think about another tribal
as they won both the reward and immunity challenge sending the pepe back to tribal
council brady and john knew it was between the two of them so brady tried his best to
make himself valuable for the tribe and tried to catch some fish however he brought back a
small batch which ironically might have made him seem even less useful to the men and at tribal
even jon sized with the fat five to send home the legendary brady finta brady travis spoken
the tribes must pick a tribal chief to begin episode five the men choose sarge while the
women choose scout the role of these two is that they will be tribe captains for the upcoming tribe
swap with scout picking the tribes and sarge getting to choose which tribe he would lead in
the end the new le pepe tribe consisted of sarge chad chris john julian twyla while yasser 2.0
was amy lisa scout leanne liza bubba and rory the tribes then competed in their first challenge to
which lepevity won and got the chance to bond as a new tribe over pringles and beer on yasser rory
and bubba knew they were in deep trouble and in an act of desperation bubba tried to reach out to
his old allies to protect him curious think about the murder le pepe would once again win stealing
bubba's fate as even though rory was more annoying than bubba ice queen amy could not overlook what
bubba did at the challenge sending him home in a unanimous vote bubba trump has spoken
knowing he didn't have much to lose rory didn't hold back and gave yasser a lecture on fairness
god rory is such a gem on the pevy twyla and julie knew they were obviously in trouble for
being the only two females on the tribe however twilight bonded with the older men on the pevi
while julia used her sex appeal to her advantage i like flirting i flirt all day long it just comes
naturally just like with me i don't know i've just it's how i connect with people i don't know
it's just a natural thing though man it looked pretty good i mean i took a quick peek but i
was going to stay right but uh it looked real good i mean if you got it something bathe it
le pepe would once again win both reward and immunity sending yasser to their second straight
tribal lian cost the tribe the muni challenge eliza was still annoying everyone and of course
rory was the last guy remaining i wonder which one of these three will go home seventh person voted
out of survivor vanuatu lisa you need to bring me your torch yep lisa would end up being the boots
here and you won't believe why amy told lisa she was going to gather some food to which lisa said
she wanted to come along with her just in case now either lisa was making a joke or she meant
just in case they were going to strategize however amy took this as just in case you get voted out
so with amy being amy she somehow took the target off of leanne eliza and rory and got the majority
votes onto lisa after she simply made a slight offhand comment good lord amy is vicious rory
knew he had escaped elimination by the thinness of margins and if yasser attended another tribal
council more than likely he wouldn't be able to scrape by this time so he literally put his faith
into his own hands at the slingshot challenge winning immunity for yasser so on the pevi
you would think one of the two ladies would be a lot to go home especially since that would make
it a 5-5 gender split going into the merge but the older men simply connected with twilight and julie
more than they connected with john k john did himself no favors here as instead of campaigning
to the guys for one of the ladies and how stupid it would be for them to make a potentially fatal
mistake of going down in the numbers heading into the merge he targets chad as he feels chad will
be too much of a jury threat at the end um can somebody tell jon is still the freaking pre-merge
this all would steal john's bait as he was brought out unanimously jon job is spoken
take it easy at the immunity challenge of episode 8 jeff shocked the final 10 with
the announcement of a merge with sarge winning the first individual immunity of the season with
the woman having the 6-4 majority it seemed like the men were in trouble with rory being the target
but the men were confident that they had julian twyla on their side and their target was amy
after rory told them how threatening she was but at tribal council twilight and julie stuck
to gender lines and rory was blindsided in a six-four boat roy the tribe has spoken
with chris sergeant chad on the outside there was little they could really do
it was clear to them that eliza was an outsider and tried to use that to their advantage whether
that be getting the girls to brought out eliza or getting eliza to join their side
but in the end they just simply couldn't get the numbers as sergeant chad became the first and
second jury members respectively this brings us to the final seven which in my opinion is one of
the greatest episodes in survivor history this episode featured the loved ones visit and both
the contestants and their loved ones would compete in the beauty challenge chris knew he had to win
even saying that to his wife during the challenge however with the help of her girlfriend amy wanted
immunity so chris looked to be all but done for right well not so fast after being a pain
in everyone's ass for the past month the woman finally had enough of eliza and figured sending
her home before the final mail would show eliza just how much they resented her so eliza's now the
easy boot right well not so fast times too knowing they're at the bottom of the amy julie lian trio
scout and twyla who have been close allies all game made a pitch to chris to work with them in
the end game and that they could blindside liam tonight to take over the majority but it was up
to him to convince eliza of this plan chris told eliza of this massive opportunity for
the two of them to go from the bottom to the top but eliza was still unsure of what to do
as she did not trust twyla in the slightest but at tribal with really no other choice the unlikely
four of scout twyla chris and eliza banded together to blindside leanne in a 4-3 vote man
seriously what an unbelievable vote coming into the episode chris and eliza were pretty much all
but guaranteed to be the boots and if a flip did happen you would expect it to be on a power player
like amy or twyla yet it was leanne of all people that would somehow be the boots and all this
craziness just freaking wild how this vote came together and yeah speaking of wild amy is shocked
at this development as she had been in control all game and now suddenly she was on the bottom
in the blink of an eye at the reward challenge though amy got exactly what she needed as her
eliza and chris one reward amy apologized to eliza for being so cocky all game and desperately tried
to integrate herself back into the majority this made eliza think twice about her game as yes amy
had turned on her but still she had a lot more in common with amy and julie as opposed to her
new alliance members of chris scout and twyla at the immunity challenge it came down to amy
and chris and unfortunately for amy she couldn't save herself from the chopping block as chris won
his first immunity the majority four plan to vote for amy but were worried eliza would flip
to julian amy's side and at tribal eliza even reminded twyla of how untrustworthy she was
as she called her out on her broken promise she made with amy but in the end eliza reluctantly
used her head over her heart and sent amy to the jury in a 4-2 vote amy travis spoken
twyla was beyond pissed at eliza for calling her out in front the jury this was exactly
what the outsider julie needed and she aligned with eliza after this as the two of them agreed
that twyla must be next to go things got even better for julie as she won the final
five reward challenge and smartly brought chris with her on reward as all of a sudden
he was now the swing vote julie tried to use her flirty personality to persuade chris to join her
and eliza's side but chris assured scott and twyla that he was with them when he returned
at the immunity challenge eliza secured herself a spot in the final four with her first immunity win
both pairs of twilight and scout and julian eliza campaigned for chris's vote at tribal council
chris smartly stuck with twilight and scout the weaker pair and far more hated than julie
as she became the fifth member of the jury but hey she got the real prize
and off survivor four female players as she and jeff dated for four years
julie tribe has spoken
the finale starts with eliza obviously pissed at chris but chris explains that he just simply won
revenge against julie after she flipped on him at the merge and that he was on board with eliza to
go to the final two chris gained even more power by winning the second immunity of the season eliza
was positive that chris would save her as since twilight and scout were obviously taking each
other to the end it would make sense for chris to expand his options however chris still thought
he had a far better chance against twilight and scout in the final movie challenge and blindsided
eliza in a 3-1 vote the 15th person voted out of survivor van option eliza need to bring me a torch
eliza tribe spoken
the final three are awakened by jeff on the morning of day 38 where they honor their fallen
comrades before entering their final meeting challenge the three had to hold a bone arrow
for as long as possible in a warrior pose scout obviously dropped out first and after over an hour
twilight slipped giving chris his third and most important immunity in that tribal knowing twyla
would be far more hated than scout chris used his soul vote to eliminate one of the greatest
old players in survivor history in scout cloud lee 16th person voted out of survivor vanuatu
scout you bring me a torch scout tribe has spoken
twyla and chris faced off against the jury who while not quite as bad as the previous season's
all-star jury pretty much everyone was pissed at the two for their lies and backstabs but while
twilight couldn't hide her blunt personality chris delivered one of the greatest final
tribal council performances of all time only just behind todd he not only apologized to the
people he backstabbed but he played up to their ego as well acting like he was heartbroken he
had to eliminate them for being such awesome people this amazing performance combined with
chris's insane underdog story led him to winning survivor vandal war 2 in a 5-2 vote
the winner of survivor vanuatu
my god what an insane win from being a possible meme worthy first boot to being down in the
numbers six to one to the woman in a season theme ludi designed as men versus woman chris was able
to somehow overcome it all to win vanuatu now whether you think vanuatu is a little
too slow or indeed an underrated to amazing season of survivor you cannot overlook just
