Zekaba

Zekaba was one of three all-female tribes in Survivor: Red Islands, named after a real-life native tribe to the land. Its members originally consisted of Dakota, Emily, Kelsey, and Yolanda from the season. The tribe commonly placed second in challenges, and was at a constant rivalry with Banaoto. At a Tribal Shuffle, which all four members made, swapped Emily and Yolanda to the rival Xene tribe, while Dakota and Kelsey remained on Zekaba. from the Tribal Shuffle, the tribe gained new members, and the tribe now consisted of: Baxter, Dakota, Jo, Jon, Kelsey, Kourtney, Lance, Lyn, and Zack.

Zekaba, after the shuffle, proved to be extremely dominant in all of the challenges leading up a double Tribal Council, where they simply by-passed the vote by voting of Dakota, who had become an annoying party on the tribe. A Tribal Swap followed soon after, where Xene's muscle men, Andrew, Peyton, and Ty to join their tribe. Consequently, though, Jon, Lance, and Zack were selected to go to the Xene tribe. This left Zekaba's members as Andrew, Baxter, Jo, Kelsey, Kourtney, Lyn, Peyton, and Ty.

The tribe continued to dominate in challenges, winning the next two before Xene gained momentum. Being faced with elimination, the women of Zekaba flirted to get Petyon and Ty, the swing votes, on their side. The plan worked expertly, and the alliance of six eliminated Andrew and Baxter before merging with Xene into Mekaibo.
