| - Survivor: One World is the 24th season of Survivor. It featured two tribes, separated by sex, living on the same beach until a tribe switch on Day 12 separated the tribes. It premiered on February 15, 2012. The season saw two medical evacuations, and has to date produced four returning players for subsequent seasons. Relations between the men's tribe and the women's tribe were tense in the early game, with negotiations for even basic resources growing complex and embittered. Early alliances based almost exclusively on gender resulted. After the Tribe Switch, several members of the new, mixed-gender Salani tribe formed a secret alliance with the object of stealthily seizing power in the game. Kim Spradlin was at the nucleus of both this new alliance and the long-established women's alliance. After the merge, she and her collaborator Chelsea Meissner used this leverage to tip the numbers in favor of the women, after which point they recommitted to their original all-female alliance, which easily picked off all of the remaining men in the game. The two were joined by the charismatic Sabrina Thompson in the Final Three, but Kim's role as the season's dominant strategist earned her a 7-2-0 victory in the jury vote and the title of Sole Survivor.
