Xene

Xene was one of three all-male tribes in Survivor: Red Islands, named after a fish native to the nation. Its members originally consisted of Baxter, Ian, Jon, and Peyton from the season. The tribe worked well together, losing no members before the Tribal Shuffle, where Baxter and Jon were swapped to Zekaba, while Ian and Peyton remained on Xene. As a reult of the shuffle, though, the tribe gained new members. The tribe now consisted of: Andrew, Allison, Emily, Ian, Norman, Peyton, Taylor, Ty, and Yolanda.

The tribe was demolished in many challenges following the shuffle, and as a result, the tribe had to go to tribal Council often. The men all aligned with one another, eliminating Yolanda and taylor. However, at the double Tribal Council, the two remaining girls (Allison and Emily) convinced Andrew and Norman to flip to their side and vote out Ian, giving them the majority. However, the success was short-lived.

In Episode 9, Xene was tasked to select three members of Zekaba to join their tribe. They selected Jon, Lance, and Zack all for muscle, but in return, Zekaba selected Andrew, Peyton, and Ty. The new Zekaba was made of Allison, Emily, Jon, Lance, Norman, and Zack. the men of the tribe once again formed an alliance, and systematically eliminated the women, Allison followed by Emily. The tribe won the final two Immunity Challenges however and merged with Zekaba into Mekaibo, with four people.
