Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty

'''Brain vs. Brawn. vs. Beauty''' is a game-shifting paradigm employed at the start of the game that divides the castaways by the distinguishing qualities that they bring to the game. The members of the "Brain" tribe use their intellect to get by in life, the members of the "Beauty" tribe use their looks and social skills, and the members of the "Brawn" tribe use their brute strength.

A popular mechanism, the twist has been used in other seasons using the same format or adjusting it slightly. Survivor: Monterrey - Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty vs. Bad was the first season on the wiki to utilize the twist, although they were also the first season on the wiki that added a 4th quality, "Bad", to the mix.

Thus far, the "Brawn" tribes have produced the most winners with 2, while the "Brain and "Beauty" tribes have each produced one winner.
