For the Brains tribe from Survivor: Cagayan or Survivor: Kaôh Rōng, see Luzon and Chan Loh.

Brains is a tribe from Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn (2021).

Likening their visits to Tribal Council to therapy sessions, tribal dynamics on the Brains tribe were marred by interpersonal strife that drove a wedge between its numerous subfactions. After outsiders Cara and George defected to the Brawns at the tribe switch, the remaining loyal Brains found themselves picked off until the merge. Their tribe color is yellow.

Notes:
^1 A Hidden Immunity Idol was played, negating all votes against its user.
^2 As part of the reward, the winning tribe was told to pick a member of the losing tribe to join them.
^3 The vote resulted in a tie. Per Australian Survivor rules, a revote would commence.
^4 In a surprise twist, the person voted out would join Brawn. Cara was "voted out" and swapped to Brawn.
^5 Due to medical reasons, Georgia sat out of the challenge.
^6 Both tribes were sent to Tribal Council. The tribes competed in an individual Reward/Immunity Challenge with two members of each tribe winning the challenge.
^7 After Brains and Brawn voted out one member at the Double Tribal Council, the four winners of the Immunity Challenge were tasked with deciding which of the two contestants would be permanently eliminated from the game. The four winners chose to eliminate Shannon, saving Laura.

Notes:

^1 George played an advantage which allowed him to save himself and an additional five castaways from Tribal Council.
^2 A Hidden Immunity Idol was played, negating all votes against its user.
^3 Tribal Council resulted in a tie. Per Survivor rules, a revote was held where the castaways involved in the tie would not vote and the remaining castaways could only vote for those involved in the tie.
^4 Both Brains and Brawn attended Tribal Council on Day 19. After a person had been voted out by their respective tribes, the four immune players had to unanimously decide who to eliminate. Laura was saved, eliminating Shannon.
^5 Georgia missed Tribal Council due to medical intervention by production, but was not yet deemed unable to continue in the game. As she could not attend Tribal Council, she could not vote, nor be voted out.
^6 Cara found an advantage that allowed her to select two members of the winning tribe to vote at the next Tribal Council. Because Brains won the next Immunity Challenge, Cara selected herself and George to vote at Brawn's Tribal Council.
