Episode Guide

How Survivor: One World unfolded, week by week.

  1. 1“Two Tribes, One Camp, No Rules”Feb 15, 2012Eighteen players are split into a men's tribe, Manono, and a women's tribe, Salani, then dropped on the same beach to share one camp, a social experiment unlike anything the show had tried. The premiere goes sideways when Kourtney Moon breaks her wrist during the first immunity challenge; medical pulls her from the game, and with the injury halting the challenge, the night's Tribal Council is cancelled, so no vote is cast.
  2. 2“Total Dysfunction”Feb 22, 2012The women's camp is chaos, the shared beach only amplifying every argument. When Salani loses, the tribe turns on Nina Acosta, one of the older women and short on allies, and she's voted out 6-1-1.
  3. 3“One World is Out the Window”Feb 29, 2012Over on Manono, Colton Cumbie has quietly seized control of the men's tribe and isn't shy about using it. He engineers a blindside of the alpha-male Matt Quinlan, flexing his grip on the group and voting Matt out 7-1-1.
  4. 4“Bum-Puzzled”Mar 7, 2012Colton's manipulation curdles into something uglier. His contempt for Bill Posley boiling over, he talks the men into deliberately throwing the immunity challenge just so they can march to Tribal and cut Bill. The cruel, prejudice-tinged maneuver works, and Bill is voted out 7-1 in a move that defines Colton's villainous run.
  5. 5“A Bunch of Idiots”Mar 14, 2012A Day-12 swap reshuffles the tribes and finally separates the two camps, and Colton keeps right on scheming with his new group. When his tribe loses, the strong, capable Monica Culpepper becomes the target of his latest play, voted out 5-2.
  6. 6“Thanks for the Souvenir”Mar 21, 2012Colton is riding high, sitting on the men's hidden idol and certain he's running the whole game, when his body betrays him: a sudden, severe case of appendicitis. Medical evacuates Colton, and he carries the hidden immunity idol out of the game with him, never to be used. Just like that, the season's chief villain is gone.
  7. 7“The Beauty in a Merge”Mar 28, 2012The tribes merge into Tikiano at twelve, six women against six men, and Kim Spradlin is ready. Quietly the architect of a tight all-women alliance, she springs the first big merge blindside, and Jonas Otsuji is voted out 10-2 as the first member of the jury, the women's takeover underway.
  8. 8“Just Annihilate Them”Apr 4, 2012Kim's alliance presses its edge, and Michael Jefferson, one of the stronger remaining men, is the next to fall, voted out 7-2-2 to the jury as the women methodically begin erasing the men.
  9. 9“Go Out With a Bang”Apr 11, 2012The Pagonging of the men rolls on. Jay Byars, sharp and well-liked, scrambles for a way to flip the numbers but can't crack Kim's alliance, and he's voted out 5-2-2-1 to the jury.
  10. 10“I'm No Dummy”Apr 18, 2012Leif Manson, who'd briefly floated joining a move against the women, is cut loose for it, voted out 4-3-2 to the jury as Kim keeps her alliance in lockstep.
  11. 11“Never Say Die”Apr 25, 2012Troyzan Robertson, the last real threat among the men and clinging on with his own hidden idol, makes a loud, desperate stand, begging Kat and Christina to flip. They don't. Troyzan is voted out 4-3-1, and with him gone, only the harmless Tarzan remains of the men, capping six straight male eliminations.
  12. 12“It's Gonna Be Chaos”May 2, 2012With the men all but wiped out, Kim turns on her own alliance, and the unpredictable Kat Edorsson is first to go. Deciding Kat's loose-cannon energy is too risky to carry to the end, Kim orchestrates her blindside, voting her out 6-1 to the jury.
  13. 13“It's Human Nature”May 9, 2012Kim keeps shaping the endgame, convincing Alicia that the older plastic surgeon Tarzan Smith is the real mastermind to steer the vote. Tarzan, the last man standing, is voted out 5-1 to the jury.
  14. 14“Perception is Not Always Reality”FinaleMay 13, 2012Finale night, and Kim Spradlin closes out one of the most dominant games ever played, having won four of the last five immunities. The night's two votes send Alicia Rosa out in fifth and Christina Cha in fourth, leaving Kim alongside her closest allies Sabrina Thompson and Chelsea Meissner. At Final Tribal, the jury blames Kim for every one of their eliminations, and she calmly owns all of it, controlling the room to the very end. They reward her command of the season, crowning Kim the Sole Survivor 7-2-0 over Sabrina and Chelsea.
