Tika is a tribe from Survivor 44. Their tribe color is purple.
Despite a poor showing in challenges, the three Tika members who survived to the merge held an unbreakable bond as a dysfunctional family and overcame their numerical disadvantage to control much of the post-merge game. Ultimately, the Tika Three capped off their underdog story by staying intact until the final four and producing the Sole Survivor of the season.
