									Tyson (7-1-0)	Sole Survivor
Notes: ^1 Monica elected to give up reward to the rest of the Kasama tribe, while keeping immunity. ^2 A Hidden Immunity Idol was played, however, no votes were cast against its user. ^3 The winner of the Immunity Challenge shared the reward with a number of their tribemates. ^4 The vote resulted in a tie. Per Survivor rules, a revote would commence. ^5 Per Survivor rules, in the event of a deadlock tie, the non-immune castaways would have an open discussion to eliminate one of the tied castaways. Since no consensus was reached, the non-immune castaways would draw rocks, with the castaway who draws the odd-colored rock being eliminated. ^6 A Hidden Immunity Idol was played, negating all votes against its user.

Trivia

• Kasama is the first merged tribe that Candice Cody and Rupert Boneham were not a member of in any of their respective seasons.
• Kasama is the second tribe to merge at eleven castaways, being preceded by Dangrayne.
• Kasama is the second merged tribe to have the first castaway eliminated be a returning man who had previously won the game, following the Yin Yang tribe from Heroes vs. Villains.
  • Kasama, along with Soliantu, Yin Yang, Solarrion, and Nuku are the only tribes whose highest and lowest placing members have won the game, excluding tribes in Survivor: Winners at War.
• According to Aras's exit interview on Rob Has a Podcast, the tribe was initially intended to be named Tai Tay Wai Tay (a reference to the song Tighty Whities by Fiji contestant Lisi Linares). However, production went against it.^[1] Tyson, who previously lived in the Philippines as a Mormon missionary and can speak Filipino, suggested the name Kasama.
• Kasama following Bikal from Caramoan marks the first time that there has been a purple tribe on two consecutive seasons.
• Kasama is the second tribe to have a rock draw tiebreaker, being preceded by Soliantu. Both would be followed by Vinaka from Millennials vs. Gen X.
• Kasama is the first merged tribe since Barramundi from The Australian Outback to have a deadlocked tie outside of the final four.
  • Coincidentally, Tina was a member of both tribes.
• Kasama is the first tribe since Nobag from Gabon to have a deadlocked tie.
• Kasama is the first tribe to have the first and last person voted out be former winners.
  • It would be followed by all of the tribes from Winners at War, though Kasama still remains the only tribe with this distinction outside of an all-winners season.
