Now, first of all, let me say that I am in no way an expert in any kind of way about this show. Actually I am only a few seasons in, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. This blog post is my way of helping me keep all things sorted out. So take it easy on me if I make mistakes.

Immunity/Reward Challenge
In addition to winning immunity, there would be a steak dinner back at camp for the winner.
The challenge itself was the giant maze where everyone had to wander around and find three bags with puzzle pieces in them, returning to base one at a time. Wendell and Laurel got off to a quick start, but poor Donathan was lost.
Wendell finished first and screams it out this time. He chooses Sebastian to go with him. And then Angela?!? Laurel was not happy about that at all, so now Domenick is worried about her vote.
On the other side of camp, Donathan knows he is next but in a discussion with Angela and Sebastian they figure it's time to flush out idols by voting Domenick. Sebastian also tells them he has an extra vote and therefore they don't even need Laurel. However, Donathan tells her the plan anyway, and Angela runs right away to Domenick to tell him the same thing.

Tribal Council #1
As soon as they sat down all the secrets were out in the open. Yeah I have an advantage! Yes I have idols! Look I'm gonna put them all on! Domenick went ahead and played his "fake idol" before the vote. After the vote, he gets up and tells everyone the real deal about the idol and that it's still fake. He made a million dollar gamble.
Domenick got one vote. Donathan got one vote. Sebastian got the other four (the original plan stayed) to be sent home with the extra vote in his pocket.

So that leaves us with (total votes received in parentheses):
Lavita: Angela (3), Domenick*(2), Donathan* (6), Laurel (2), and Wendell*(5).
On the jury (in order): Chris, Libby, Desiree, Jenna, Michael, Chelsea, Kellyn, Sebastian

Immunity Challenge
The challenge was in three parts: swimming to a platform, climbing up and sliding down the opposite side, through an obstacle course to untie bags, and finally to solve a pyramid puzzle.
They all made it to the puzzle, with Angela struggling bringing up the rear. After some bewilderment, Wendell quietly pieces it together to win immunity.

Tribal Council #2
Here we go again rather quickly. With five players left and so many options and so many idols out there this could go many ways.
Domenick played his idol. Wendell played his idol for Laurel. She got one vote that didn't count. Donathan got the other four to be sent packing.

Immunity Challenge
Immunity Challenge
The final challenge was walking on a wobbly platform and stacking six balls with a stand in between. Domenick and Laurel dropped to put them way behind. Wendell and Angela were slow and steady but dropped as well. This allowed Domenick to catch back up and pass everyone, winning immunity.
They all then got sent to Ghost Island, where Dom would choose someone to sit beside him, leaving the other to to make fire for the third spot.
Dom knows he can't pick Wendell and hopes either Laurel or Angela can knock out him out making fire. Laurel said it's not her. He turns to Angela and they start to practice some together.
Dom got a note from Jeff to read on the island. He has to choose a "cursed" urn to take with him back to tribal: Season 2 Australia (Colby picked Tina and lost to her), Season 28 Cagayan (my boy Wu! picked Tony and lost to him), or Season 34 Game Changers (Culpepper chose Sarah and lost to her).
He chose Cagayan.

The Final Tribal Council
Domenick's choice was to take Laurel with him, and set Angela against Wendell in the fire making competition. Angela never got a flame going for long, but Wendell did until his flame cut the string to win the challenge.
The Final Three are: Domenick, Laurel, and Wendell

The Final Vote
After the final speeches for everyone and the final votes are cast, Probst drops a bomb and says he is going to read the votes right now!
Domenick and Wendell each receive five votes apiece. TIED. The deciding vote then goes to...Laurel! She writes it down and then we go to the live show.
Jeff reads the final vote, and the Sole Survivor is: Wendell!
What a fantastic season and finish!
