Viakana (alternatively spelled Via Kana) is the merged tribe of Luvu, Ua and Yase from Survivor 41. Their tribe color is red.
Following an unusual merge on Day 12, the All-Black Alliance took control of Viakana's power structure, leading to the undoing of the former Yases. However, the blindside of their leader proved to be the catalyst for the outsiders' rise to power in the endgame.

| Notes: ^1 The unchosen sit-out from the last challenge (Erika) was exiled. There, she was given an hourglass which she may choose to break to strip the winning team of their immunity, transferring it to the losing team and herself. Erika broke the hourglass.
^2 The vote resulted in a tie. Per Survivor rules, a revote would commence. ^3 At the Immunity Challenge, the ten remaining players were divided into two groups of five, with one person from each team winning immunity. The last player standing overall (Xander) won reward for their team. ^4 By winning the "Do or Die" game, Deshawn was granted immunity at Tribal Council. ^5 The winner of the Immunity Challenge shared the reward with one of their tribemates. ^6 A Hidden Immunity Idol was played; however, no votes were cast against its user. ^7 Instead of a traditional vote, the winner of the Immunity Challenge, Xander, would choose someone to take with them to the Final Three. He chose Erika. The remaining two castaways, Deshawn and Heather, would compete in a fire-making challenge to determine the last finalist. | ||||||

| Notes: ^1 This castaway played an Extra Vote advantage, allowing them to vote twice at Tribal Council.
^2 This castaway used their Shot in the Dark, making them ineligible to vote at Tribal Council. The scroll they selected however read, "Not Safe", thus all votes against them remained valid. ^3 The vote resulted in a tie. Per Survivor rules, a revote was held where the castaways involved in the tie would not vote and the remaining castaways could only vote for those involved in the tie. ^4 A Hidden Immunity Idol was played; however, no votes were cast against its user. ^5 Instead of a traditional vote, the person who won the Immunity Challenge, Xander, would take someone with them to the Final Three. He chose Erika. The remaining two castaways, Deshawn and Heather, would compete in a fire-making challenge to determine the last finalist. | ||||||||||||||||
