Tribe History[]
The East Team immediately ran into issues, with tribe member Franz Schnabel cutting his leg upon jumping off the boat carrying the tribe to their camp. The injury proved too much for him, and Franz was temporarily removed from the game. The tribe continued its struggle as they lost the first Immunity Challenge against the West Team. However, it was announced at Tribal Council that Franz was permanently evacuated from the season. Because of this, the vote was canceled.
The East Team continued struggling as they and the South Team lost the next Immunity Challenge, and one of their members had to be eliminated by the North Team and West Team. At Tribal Council, the four North Team members voted for South Team member Jenny Hägglöf, while the four West Team members voted against Deniz, resulting in a tie. This forced a tiebreaker, where Deniz was eliminated, leaving the East Team with only two members remaining.
On Day 7, Johnny Leinonen and Martin Suorra received news that the East Team would be absorbed. Both of them became members of the North Team.
