Season Summary[]
The season began in Panem with eighteen contestants divided into two tribes based on their gender. The Female tribe consisted of Clove, Effie, Foxface, Glimmer, Johanna, Katniss, Prim, Rue and Wiress. The Male tribe was Beetee, Cato, Finnick, Gale, Haymitch, Peeta, Marvel, Snow and Thresh. On the Female tribe, two alliances formed: the "Good" Alliance which consisted of Rue, Prim, Effie and Katniss. And the "Careers" Alliance consisting of Johanna, Glimmer, Clove and Foxface. Wiress was the odd one out, but as the alliances targeted each other, she was the swing vote. This resulted in the Careers swaying Wiress to side with them and vote out Rue. The following Tribal resulted in The Careers having the majority and voting out Prim, telling Wiress to vote Katniss to prove her loyalty. Effie followed next after Katniss and Effie targeted each other, trying to stay in the game. Effie was deemed annoying and weak.
Meanwhile at the Male tribe, tensions rose between everybody as they targeted each other due to all the big personalities colliding. Ultimately, the vote came down to Marvel, Thresh and Finnick. Marvel was voted out over the others since he had been trying to be the alpha male, which annoyed Finnick, Snow and Cato greatly. Beetee went home the following Tribal after he was deemed too weak, despite putting forth his best efforts. Johanna had a huge argument with Glimmer over how she didn’t work hard enough in the challenges. Foxface saw this as a chance to get rid of a threat and manipulated the rest of the girls into voting against Johanna. Wiress found out about this and voted against Foxface after trying to warn Johanna, who ignored her. Johanna was eliminated.
A sudden tribe switch occurred, shaking the game. The new Female tribe had Cato, Clove, Foxface, Gale, Glimmer and Wiress. The new Male tribe had Finnick, Haymitch, Katniss, Peeta, Snow and Thresh. After the swap, Katniss found herself in a safe position for once after her tribe managed to win Immunity. At the New Female Tribe, the people split off with Glimmer and Clove going against Gale after they found how he was similar to Katniss in annoyance, Wiress and Foxface going after each other, and Cato and Gale attempting to get rid of Glimmer after she tried flirting with both of them. At the revote, Clove, Foxface and Wiress chose to stick together, Cato siding with Gale. Gale was voted out. The following Tribal after another loss, the girls got into a fight after Wiress managed to prove how sneaky Foxface was. Meanwhile, Cato chose to side with Foxface, trying to get rid of the Clove and Glimmer duo. Foxface went home as a result.
The remaining ten merged into the Capitol tribe, named by Snow. The tribe was quickly split into three alliances. The Career Girls: Clove, Glimmer and Wiress, who wanted to get rid of Katniss. The "Men" alliance: Finnick, Haymitch and Peeta, who went after Snow after he had been causing drama at the swapped tribe. In a surprising show of strength, the underestimated Peeta won the first Immunity. The Men alliance rallied against Snow, but the Career girls shifted their target from Katniss after reconsidering how untrustworthy Cato was, on top of being a physical threat. Cato had a similar idea and targeted Finnick, but Snow found Wiress untrustworthy and campaigned to have her voted out. Katniss and Thresh went along with the idea and everyone voted their own respective way, resulting in a tie between Cato, Snow, and Wiress, Finnick receiving one vote of his own. In the revote, not knowing who voted for him, Finnick flipped and voted for Cato. Katniss and Thresh joined the Career Girls and eliminated Cato from the game. The two big alliances were then able to make a truce, the Career Girls insisting on getting rid of Katniss. Peeta was the only one against the idea while Haymitch tried to convince him it was for the best. Haymitch went on to win the next Immunity, surprising everyone.
Still targeting Wiress and believing her responsible for his target, Snow rallied Thresh to vote with him, but Katniss set her target on Glimmer, who was leading the Career Girls. Unable to vote Katniss, Peeta threw a vote for Clove and Katniss was eliminated. This resulted in animosity from Katniss, Haymitch, and the girls. After winning a reward trip, Haymitch had a long conversation with Thresh and learned how conniving Snow was. Thresh also convinced him not to trust the girls' alliance. Realizing Clove and Glimmer were running the game, the men considered turning against them. When Glimmer won Immunity, Clove became the prime target. Clove tried last minute to vote out Finnick while Snow questioned Thresh's loyalty to him. Snow attempted to blindside Thresh, but Clove was blindsided instead. This loss damaged the Career Girls, turning Glimmer and Wiress against the Men alliance. Haymitch then won both reward and Immunity, solidifying himself as a physical threat in challenges.
Figuring Glimmer and Wiress were harmless against their numbers, the Men alliance returned to targeting Snow. Not trusting Finnick, Haymitch, or Peeta, the girls went to Snow to join him in targeting Thresh. On the outs, Thresh threw his vote at Finnick, but the votes fell tied between Snow and Thresh. Not wanting to risk rocks for the sake of Snow, the women flipped and eliminated him in the revote. Peeta went on to win both reward and Immunity, gaining a target equal to Haymitch's. Getting close to the end, Finnick convinced Peeta that Haymitch needed to go while they had the chance to get rid of him. He also believed he could pull Thresh to his side against the women. Out of the loop, however, Thresh voted for Finnick. Haymitch was blindsided when his allies betrayed him, leaving Finnick, Glimmer, Peeta, Thresh, and Wiress as the final five. In a surprising display, Wiress won both the final reward and Immunity. Admitting to Glimmer's good gameplay and threat level, Thresh joined Finnick and Peeta in voting her out. Even Wiress betrayed her ally, eliminating Glimmer and entering the finale as the last woman standing against Finnick, Thresh, and Peeta.
Peeta won Immunity, but Finnick felt Thresh would make a more formidable opponent in the finals than Wiress, who had played a messy game. Believing he convinced Peeta to flip on Thresh, he confidently went into Tribal Council, only to be surprised when Peeta stuck to voting Wiress. Before the revote, Peeta convinced Finnick to join his side again, so Finnick's blindside failed and Wiress was eliminated. This led to an argument between Thresh and Finnick, but when Finnick won the final Immunity, he eliminated Thresh and took Peeta to the finals, believing he could win against him.
At the Final Tribal Council, Finnick was criticized for his cutthroat gameplay and haphazardly-made blindside attempts. Peeta was criticized for riding Finnick's coattails, but praised for his good social game and physical performance. Months later, the Jury votes for the winner were read aloud during a live show. Peeta was declared the Sole Survivor in a 6-1 vote.
