Season summary
The eighteen new castaways were divided into three tribes, Pingtung, Tamsui and Yushan. It quickly became apparent that Tamsui was the weakest of the three tribes, losing three of the first five immunity challenges, leaving only Gary, Helen and Ushras. Yushan was also divided into separate factions and suffered several injuries, despite proving to be a physical powerhouse, while Pingtung enjoyed early successes, remaining undefeated in challenges until Day 12. On Day 13, it was announced that the tribe that finished last in the reward challenge would be dissolved, and its members sent to the two other tribes. Tamsui lost the challenge and ceased to exist; Helen was sent to Yushan, Aishani to Pingtung, and Gary to Exile Island, later joining Pingtung after their first Tribal Council as a new tribe. Aishani and Gary quickly integrated themselves with Pingtung's majority alliance, while Yushan was immediately suspicious of Helen and eliminated her at the first opportunity.

The tribes merged with eleven players remaining, and Pingtung in the majority. Gary tore his ACL during the first individual immunity challenge, and was evacuated from the game. Liz then declared herself to be a free agent between the two main alliances, but her wavering loyalty was seen as dangerous, and she was next to be voted out. Yushan now had the upper hand, having five against the four former Pingtung members. David and Tracey, on the bottom of the Yushan alliance, flipped sides, using David's hidden immunity idol as leverage. The augmented Pingtung alliance targeted Yushan alliance leader Emma. However, Emma had suspicions, and revealed her own hidden immunity idol, resulting in the elimination of Rachel instead. David and Tracey were quickly outed as the renegades. Emma correctly inferred that David had an idol, and the Yushans convinced David that they were targeting him, flushing his idol while voting out Stephanie. With the numbers now solidly in the remaining Yushan alliance's favour, Emma and Matt decided to eliminate alliance flippers David and Tracey ahead of the remnants of the Pingtung alliance. At the final five, Eli and Aishani convinced Matt to vote out Bob, who was perceived as having floated his way through the game and was now seen as an easy person to defeat at the Final Tribal Council due to his dislikability.

Eli won the final immunity challenge, and turned on his ally Aishani as she was perceived as the largest threat against the jury. Eli, Emma and Matt became the Final Three. At the Final Tribal Council, Matt was dismissed by the jury for his passive gameplay and general lack of self-awareness throughout the game. Eli was commended for growing into a strong strategic player by the end of the game, but the jury noted his weak social game, and his answers to the jury were seen as disingenuous and pandering. He was also berated for betraying Aishani at the final four. Emma was praised for her strong social connections to the jury and strategic dominance following the merge, and she became the Sole Survivor in a 6–2–0 vote.
