Season 6
Survivor: The Amazon
Survivor: The Amazon is the sixth season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor. For the first time ever, the initial tribes were divided by sex. The two initial tribes were the all-female Jaburu (named for a native stork) and the all-male Tambaqui (a native fish).
Episodes
Boys vs. Girls
The reality series pits the guys against the girls, as the 16 players are divided into single-sex tribes for this sixth edition. The eight men and eight women are stranded in Brazil's Amazon rain forest along the Rio Negro, a piranha-infested river, 35 miles from the port city of Manaus.

Girl Power
The women's tribe elects a reluctant leader, while putting off a candidate who wanted the post. In the reward challenge, the two tribes get a chance to interact and the guys admit to having crushes on some of the ladies. Also: a third player is voted out.
Trapped
One tribe goes on a group expedition, but purposely leaves behind a vulnerable member who then crafts a new strategy to survive. Also: An alliance within one tribe breaks down when one of its members becomes ill; and a fourth player is voted out.

Sleeping with the Enemy
One player worries that members of the opposite sex are using their charms to manipulate other castaways and warns a fellow tribe member to be careful. Also: one player's fixation on sharpening the machetes creeps out fellow tribemates, and an eighth person is voted out.

...And Then There Were Four
The ultimate survivor in the Amazon is crowned as the reality series wraps up its sixth edition. The final four players are whittled down to two and the seven-person jury votes for the winner. "It's a toss-up when we get to the final two," says host Jeff Probst. "It's not a sure thing." The big change in the finale, says Probst, is that the concluding vote takes place immediately following the last immunity challenge. "There's no time to think about it," he says.
Survivor: The Amazon Reunion
The 16 players are reunited in New York City.
