Salani Alliance

The Salani Alliance is an alliance formed during Survivor: One World. Originally, the alliance was comprised of the five younger and stronger women from the Salani tribe. The alliance dominated the merge stage of the game, systematically taking out five of the original Manono tribe members consecutively. All five of the original members of the Salani Alliance made the final 7, and four of them made the final 5.

Origin
The alliance was formed by Alicia Rosa while the Salani tribe was looking for their camp. On the spot, Alicia recruited the 4 other younger and stronger women (Chelsea, Kim, Kat, Sabrina) leaving Salani members Kourtney Moon, Christina Cha, Nina Acosta, and Monica Culpepper on the outside. The alliance would not have to vote anyone at their first Tribal Council after Kourtney was injured and medically evacuated from the game.

A heated rivalry began between Christina and Alicia over Christina brokering a deal with the Manono tribe for fire in exchange for weaving twenty palm fronds for the game, a move which rubbed Alicia the wrong way. The argument took a head at Tribal Council between the two women.

The alliance would continue to enjoy their majority, voting out Nina Acosta at their next Tribal Council visits.

Tribe Shuffle
After winning the next Immunity Challenge, and Manono giving up immunity to them at the following challenge, the two tribes shuffled. Only Alicia swapped over to Manono, while Kim, Kat, Sabrina, and Chelsea maintained their alliance's numbers. A new sub alliance formed with Kim, Troyzan, Jay, and Chelsea. The alliance soon enjoyed more power after Kim managed to find the Hidden Immunity Idol which she soon told Chelsea about since she trusted her the most. The new Salani would enjoy an Immunity Challenge win.

Alicia managed to get herself into an alliance with Colton Cumbie, the de facto Misfit Alliance leader. With Colton being able to control the men and Alicia being able to control the women, Alicia saw herself in a good position. Alicia did not stick with the women at the new Manono's first Tribal Council, blindsiding Monica (who thought Tarzan Smith was leaving). Colton and Alicia then turned their harassment and tormenting towards Christina, who was now the next on the chopping block. Christina managed to stay safe after Colton was medically evacuated from the game following a diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Post-Merge Success
With Colton's medical evacuation, the two tribes were brought into Tribal Council and were told of Colton's condition before merging into Tikiano. The Salani Alliance managed to recruit Christina, the former girl on the outs, and managed to manipulate Jay, Troyzan, and Michael into believing that the new Manono members were all going to be picked off. Jonas was the first man to go after the new Salani felt he was too likable and smart to keep in the game.

After Kim, Sabrina, Leif, Michael, and Christina won a Reward Challenge, Kim hatched a new strategy with Sabrina: They would go back to Tikiano and convince Troyzan that Michael was plotting to get him voted out of the game. This strategy worked effectively as Troyzan bought it and vowed to win Individual Immunity. The women had a minor rift after Chelsea asked Jay about voting Michael while the ex-new Manono members Alicia and Christina were present. At Tribal Council, Michael announced he was confident in his place within his alliance, but was blindsided.

Troyzan soon became worried that the game was really Men vs. Women as expected, although Jay felt confident that he would be safe. Jay unknowingly told Kim that Troyzan was going to play his Hidden Immunity Idol and that Kim would be on the receiving end of it being played. With this information, Jay had now made himself the new target and was voted out.

With Jay out, Troyzan felt that he was alone, and began to act very arrogant and angry towards the women and became more competitive than he had been before. The Salani Alliance attempted to achieve an advantage at the next Immunity Challenge through Christina (who still had $500) at the Survivor Auction, however Christina backed out of the bid and let Troyzan have it. With an advantage, Troyzan easily won Individual Immunity, derailing the target at Tribal Council. Ultimately, Salani settled on Leif Manson, the next strongest guy. Troyzan attempted to sway Christina and Alicia, by saying that they were on the outs of the women's alliance and that by voting together with him for Kim, they could easily boost their placings. Although both women warmed to the idea, ultimately they stuck by the Salani Alliance, splitting their votes and causing Leif to leave 4-3-2.

With Leif gone, Troyzan was the next person on the chopping block. Troyzan lost a crucial Immunity Challenge to Tarzan, and turned his back towards the challenge, refusing to watch it any further. The women began to taunt Troyzan, using his "This is my island!" moniker against him. Christina accidently ratted out the plan to Troyzan that the votes were going to be a split between the two of them due to the women believing Troyzan to be in possession of a second Hidden Immunity Idol, but that she was voting for Chelsea. At Tribal Council, Tarzan and Troyzan (along with Sabrina, who had voted Christina as part of the plan) voted together, but it wasn't enough as Troyzan was finally voted out in a 4-3-1 vote (Troyzan only needed one vote to gain majority).

Turning on Each Other
On Day 31, tensions arose between the alliance when Kat chose Alicia and Kim (along with their respective loved ones) to tag along with her after winning a Reward Challenge. Sabrina was angered by Kat's decision, saying that Christina and Tarzan deserved to go on the Reward more. This prompted a sub-alliance against Kat due to her selfish nature. However, Kim wanted to blindside Sabrina, viewing her as more intelligent and a bigger jury threat than the much naive Kat. After the Immunity Challenge, a visibly upset Kat refused to congratulate Kim, further annoying her alliance. Alicia then pitched the idea to Kim that Kat should be the next to go based on challenge strength, but Kim was still against it because she viewed Sabrina as being smarter. Tarzan was spared at Tribal Council since he was not a threat to the women. Kat's naivity and selfishness at the Reward and Immunity Challenges were hot topics at Tribal Council. Kat was ultimately betrayed and blindsided by her alliance in a 6-1 vote, who was sobbing as she walked away.

More tensions arose between the women when Chelsea and Christina began talking and mutually agreed to take each other on the reward challenge. However, after walking back to camp, Christina spilled the beans about Chelsea's deal, which Kim told Chelsea about, angering her. More plotting against each other began after Chelsea won the Reward Challenge, choosing Sabrina and Kim, the latter she viewed as a fair choice. This angered Alicia since Kim had been on three consecutive rewards, prompting Tarzan to form a counter alliance with Alicia and Christina against Kim and Chelsea. However, after Kim arrived back to camp, Alicia and Kim cross-referenced their stories from Tarzan and had revealed that he told both women he would campaign for them to win if he was on the jury, as well as telling both he was after the other, taking the target off Chelsea and putting it on Tarzan, who was caught in his lies. Tarzan was voted out in a unanimous 5-1 vote after losing the Immunity Challenge to Alicia.

Alicia was convinced that she was sitting comfortable with her alliance of Christina and Kim. However, the threesome of Chelsea, Kim, and Sabrina stuck together and took out Alicia, despite her pleas that Chelsea would be the biggest threat out of the Final 5.

Christina lost a crucial Immunity Challenge and realized that she was the next girl to go, and accepted her fate since she could not break the bond between the three women.

Final Tribal Council
Chelsea, Kim, and Sabrina managed to make the Final 3, where they awoke to a feast waiting for them. Sabrina reflected on her personal life as a teacher for troubled teens and hoped that her experience on Survivor would motivate them. Despite most of the jury being upset towards Kim's cutthroat game-play, Chelsea was criticized for being emotionless and a pawn for Kim. Sabrina was criticized for being too under-the-radar, and for being a pawn as well. Ultimately, Kim won the game in a 7-2-0 vote, with Sabrina being the runner-up and Chelsea coming in third place.
