Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty is a game-changing twist in Survivor.

Premise

The groupings of these tribes, each comprised of six castaways, reflect the distinguishing qualities that people bring to the game and test whether there is any truth to the pre-conceived notion that that certain characteristics will help you win the game of Survivor.[1]

History

The contestants were split into three tribes to begin the game: Aparri (brawn tribe), Luzon (brains tribe) and Solana (beauty tribe).

Trivia

  • Jeff Probst claimed that the twist (initially code-named as "B.B.B.") was due to popular demand.[2]
  • The order of the qualities in the name of the twist matches with the alphabetical order of the tribes names (A, L, S).
  • In Cagayan, the Brawn tribe performed the best getting an average placement of 7.6.
    • The Beauty tribe did second best with an average placement of 10.3.
    • The Brains tribe did the worst with an average placement of 10.5.
