Survivor NZ: Nicaragua is the first season of Survivor NZ, a television series based on the popular reality game show Survivor. The series was announced in February 2016, and premiered on TVNZ 2 on 7 May 2017.[1] The season was filmed in Nicaragua,[2] the same location as four seasons of the American edition of Survivor: Nicaragua, Redemption Island, San Juan del Sur and Worlds Apart.

The sixteen contestants were initially separated into two tribes, named Hermosa and Mogotón. When ten players remained, they merged into one tribe, named Casar. Avi Duckor-Jones won the season and was named the Sole Survivor. Matai'a Salatielu "Sala" Tiatia was voted the Gem People's Choice Award.[3]

Season summary

On Day 1, both the Mogoton and Hermosa tribes were informed that they would each vote out a player that same day -- after the elimination of both Dee and Hannah, they competed in their first immunity challenge. By Day 10, Mogoton had lost two players and then a third (Lou) was medically evacuated just before the tribes were shuffled. Shannon, drawing a black buff, was exiled and two new teams of 5 were established; both teams had a 3-2 Hermosa versus Mogoton majority.

After the tribe shuffle, Nate and Barb took control of the new Hermosa tribe after having been ostracized by their former teammates for being older and weaker. At the new Mogoton, Tom quickly turned on his rival Shay (after she repeatedly targeted him) and joined the boys from old Hermosa in voting out one of his own.

When the tribes were merged, Shay won the Redemption Island duel to return to the game. Old Hermosa outnumbered Mogoton 6-4, but old loyalties were uneasy due to the tribal shuffle. Nate, Barb, Avi and Sala had a tight New Hermosa alliance, bringing in Shannon and counting on Tom to rejoin his old Mogoton players due to their being down in numbers. The alliance of five quickly took out two strong men but fell apart briefly after Barb organized a blindside of Sala, the most liked player in the game.

After Sala's blindside, Tom realized he needed to realign with Avi and they proved to be the most dominating power in the game, along with Nate and Barb. In spite of both Mike and Nate winning their way back from Redemption Island, Avi, Tom and Barb remained strong to the end, with Barb saying all along that her mission in the game was to get one of them to win. When the three finalists faced the jury, Barb was grilled for being lazy and accused of not playing for almost half of the game. Tom had many old allies on the jury but Avi argued that he stayed in the game only because of Avi repeatedly saving him. By a vote of 6-1-0, Avi was named the Sole Survivor.
