Best and Worst Tribes in MS history

Ya'll never shut up about the individuals, but what about the teams?

Based on challenge performance and cohesion
Show
Do I REALLY suck? That's up to you to decide.

Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.

Definitely DID suck, in the end...Probably.

steel mill was pretty OP

there are certainly some tribes (gerudo 3.0, brode island, metazoa, purple reign) that more or less pagonged successfully if that makes them good to you or their opponents bad
penumbra managed to put themselves solidly in the passenger seat by merge time and had a pretty uphill battle to even be relevant
original zante did a pretty nice self-destruct as well

We lost two challenges, and two of the three survivors of the tribe made F5.

Losing both triple tribe challenges where there was only one losing tribe is a pretty terrible performance. It's about the tribe, not the individuals, I thought. But also this:

Only one member made the merge so it was p bad, especially due to tribes being randomized at the start rather than hand-picked for balance

Reading this thread made me realize I have no memory of 90% of tribe names
