Chapera

Chapera was a tribe on Survivor: All-Stars.

This tribe is best remembered for dominating the game and producing the entirety of the final four. Chapera's tribe color was red.

Original
The Chapera tribe was originally comprised of:
 * Rob Cesternino, the strategic powerhouse from The Amazon. He was noted by Jeff Probst as the "The smartest player to have never won Survivor."
 * Susan Hawk, the outspoken redneck from Borneo. She was known for her infamous "Snakes and Rats" Jury spiel.
 * Alicia Calaway, infamous for her finger-wagging incident with Kucha tribemate Kimmi Kappenberg in The Australian Outback, that lead into one of the show's most iconic catfights.
 * Tom Buchanan, the gentle giant from Africa. Most notable for dancing oddly during their SOS Reward Challenge and for his unintelligible cowboy accent.
 * Rob Mariano, known for his aggressive game play in Marquesas, though he was eliminated just before the Jury Phase.
 * Amber Brkich, most notable for playing under-the-radar in The Australian Outback.

Post-Saboga Dissolve
On Day 13, Chapera absorbed two members of the dismantled Saboga tribe.


 * Susan Hawk
 * Alicia Calaway
 * Tom Buchanan
 * Rupert Boneham
 * Jenna Lewis
 * Rob Mariano
 * Amber Brkich

Post-Shuffle
On Day 22, the ten remaining castaways were stunned when Jeff Probst declared that the tribes will not merge yet, and a tribe shuffle will take place. Awkwardly, all of Mogo Mogo's remaining members were transferred to Chapera, while the whole Chapera tribe (except Amber, who stayed on her original team) became the new Mogo Mogo. These are the members of the last revision of Chapera:
 * Jerri Manthey
 * Lex van den Berghe
 * Kathy Vavrick-O' Brien
 * Shii-Ann Huang
 * Amber Brkich

Tribe History
In the early stages of the game, Chapera was the most dominant of the three tribes. The tribe won three of the first four challenges, and lived a life of comparative luxury. It was during this time that Rob Mariano began to set up the web of alliances that would characterize his game: first by forming a pact with Amber Brkich, then with Tom Buchanan. Meanwhile, tempers flared at Chapera, with Rob M., Alicia Calaway, Tom, and Sue Hawk coming into repeated conflict due to their outspoken personalities.

Chapera attended Tribal Council for the first time on day twelve. In spite of the various conflicts between the tribe members, the tide turned against Rob Cesternino, who was seen as a threat due to his previous performance in the Amazon. Desperate for a life preserver, Rob C. made a last-minute pact with Rob M., who betrayed him. Rob C. was unanimously dismissed from the tribe at Tribal Council.

On Day 13, the tribe was able to select two members from the newly-dissolved Saboga tribe. They chose Rupert Boneham and Jenna Lewis, who became part of the team. Both newcomers immediately felt at home with their new camp and tribemates.

Chapera won the next immunity challenge, despite an incident where Mogo Mogo's Richard Hatch accidentally rubbed inappropriately against Sue while naked. The incident affected Sue back at camp, as she became distraught and mentally checked out of the game. When the tribes convened for the next reward challenge, Sue quit the game in an explosion of emotion. The castaways decided to continue with the reward challenge, which Mogo Mogo won. The tribes were now even at six members each.

On Day 19, Chapera won a combined reward/immunity challenge and earned the right to spend the day on a luxury yacht. They were also granted the privilege of kidnapping one member of the rival Mogo Mogo tribe who would then not have to attend Tribal Council. Chapera chose Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien, and took the opportunity to glean information from their captive.

On Day 21, Chapera, at the behest of treemail, sent tribal ambassador Jenna L. to Mogo Mogo to select three items Chapera would steal upon winning a reward challenge. Chapera won the challenge, and were given the right to take Mogo Mogo's grill, Hawaiian sling, and one bag of rice.

As Chapera's winning streak continued, Rob M. and Amber's romance heated up as the pair became an inseparable alliance. In order to protect themselves from possible threats, the couple formed a final four pact with Saboga newcomers Jenna L. and Rupert, all the while continuing to honor their original deal with Tom.

The events of Day 22 baited the tribes with the possibility of a merge, only to reveal a shuffling of the tribes instead. Remarkably, the random shuffle resulted in every member of Mogo Mogo trading with a member of Chapera, leaving Amber as the only remaining Chapera member on a tribe with Kathy, Jerri Manthey, Lex van den Berghe, and Shii Ann Huang. Chapera lost the next immunity challenge, and Rob M.-- now a member of Mogo Mogo and distraught at the prospect of Amber being sent home -- struck a hasty protection deal with Lex after the challenge. Lex was forced to weigh his options: either alienating Rob M. and the former Chapera members in the event of a merge, or cutting loose his loyal ally Jerri. Eventually, with Kathy's help, Lex decided to boot Jerri, who was voted out unanimously.

On Day 26, Chapera and Mogo Mogo merged to form one tribe: Chaboga Mogo. They would stay at the deserted Saboga camp for the duration of the game.

On Day 31, Rob M., his brother Mike, Tom, and Tom's son Bo -- winners of a family reward challenge -- returned to the Chapera camp overnight as part of their reward.
