Mekaibo

Mekaibo was the merged tribe of Survivor: Red Islands, named for a random word the contestants made up. The tribe merged the rival Xene and Zekaba tribes, consisting of Jo, Jon, Kelsey, Kourtney, Lance, Lyn, Norman, Peyton, Ty, and Zack from the season. The tribe was formed on Day 37.

Quickly upon merging and taking a home on the old Zekaba beach, alliances were quick to implode. A major eight-person alliance was formed right off the bat, where the Zekaba women aligned with the former Xene men, tagretting Peyton and Ty because of their arrogant attitudes. After they systematically eliminated the two, all hell broke loose.

At a reward challenge in Episode 15, Zack got injured and was forced out of the game, putting the Xene men in the minority. Norman made an effort to attract votes towards himself, as he had an idol (unknown to the others, as no clues of Hidden idols had been given throughout the game and he has simply stumbled upon his). The plan worked perfectly, and Norman used the idol to blindside Jo, one of the strongest women left in the game. The aftermath of this play resulted in Norman downright forcing the females to align with him, or he would cause a tie. The female complied, and Jon and Lance were both voted off back-to-back.

During the finale, a key alliance between Kourtney, a challenge threat, and Norman was formed to get to the end. When Kourtney won immunity, she eliminated Kelsey, betraying her trust. On the final day, Day 50, the final three members of Mekaibo (Kourtney, Lyn, and Norman) burned down the camp, as they would not be returning. They then proceeded to the Final Tribal Council, no longer a tribe, but individuals who had survived.
