Survivor: Vanuatu was the thirty-first season of Survivor. 

The season ended when Chad won the title of Sole Survivor, beating Kara and Courtney by a 4-3-2 jury vote at the Final Tribal Council. The season featured 18 contestants dubbed as "castaways" marooned on three separate beaches in Vanuatu. They were divided into three tribes: Tutuba in green, Namuka in purple, and Lopevi in blue. The tribes were named after islands in Vanuatu. On Day 21, the tribes merged into the yellow Yasur tribe, named for another island in Vanuatu.

The hidden immunity was featured this season. Three were hidden; one for each tribal beach. At the merge, a "special" idol was hidden. Kara found the Namuka idol. Jenny found the Lopevi idol. No one found the Tutuba idol. At Yasur's third tribal council, Kara found the special idol: a must-play hidden immunity idol (the idol must be played at the next tribal). In a ploy to shake up the game, Kara cast the idol for Ralph, the person everyone was voting for. Ralph's sole vote for Bane sent him to the jury. No other idols had any impact on the game.  The main twist this season was the division of the castaways into three gender-based tribes. Tutuba was strictly male. Namuka was strictly female. Lopevi was a combination of both.

• Due to Kara's immunity win, she was given a clue to the location of a special immunity idol. This idol was a Must-Play Idol, an idol that had to be played at the next tribal for anyone. She decided to play it for Ralph so all the votes cast against him were negated, sending Bane home. This had little effect on overall game.
