Brawn is a tribe from Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn II. Their tribe color is turquoise.

Immediately forced to play the game by Nash Gendo's chaotic and bold public reveal of an idol that he found a few minutes into the game, the Brawn tribe, though enjoying early success in Immunity Challenges, had unmendable distrust and suffered large cracks in their social structure that proved to be their undoing as they were eventually eliminated by constant in-fighting and their rival Brains.
