Survivor Season 36: Ghost Island Week 10 Recap

This is season 36 of Survivor. This time, twenty players (10 remaining) are competing in Fiji, and, for the first time ever, the show will revolve around a new game-changing element: the mistakes of castaways past, the talismans of which are scattered on a land dubbed Ghost Island.




********************************************************************************

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.


********************************************************************************
Lavita


Domenick gets back at camp and immediately thanks Laurel for her heads up from the last tribal. He also double checks with Wendell to make sure they are still tight. They are. Then he starts getting a little jumpy and decided that maybe there is another idol out there somewhere and goes looking. He notices a coconut with an emblem on it and secretly cracks it open. It contained the fake idol from Millenials vs X-Gen. It still has no power unless he can fake someone into the same trick used that season.

Individual Immunity Challenge (x2!)

Jeff comes up with another twist this time. No reward or Ghost Island. The group is split into two temporary tribes of five, with each having someone win immunity, and each with someone going home in separate tribal councils!

The challenge itself was to hold a bar that supported a ball against the top of the frame without letting it roll out and drop.

Purple: Donathan was the first to drop here followed by Sebastian and Jenna. Angela was a statue through the whole thing but suddenly dropped as Chelsea was struggling at the very end. Chelsea wins immunity.

Orange: Kellyn was the first to drop here, followed by Michael and Laurel. Then it was a battle of will (and words) between Domenick and Wendell, who were the last two standing in the whole challenge. Wendell finally dropped, allowing Domenick to have immunity.

Because Orange was the last tribe to fall, they were also allowed to go to tribal last, letting them see the results of the first tribal.

********************************************************************************
Tribal Council (#1)


Sebastian and Angela decide to stay Naviti strong and vote out Jenna while telling them it is Donathan instead. Jenna did not buy it because she knows Donathan has an idol. He offered to use it on her if she voted for Sebastian. This was really her only lifeline.

When they got to tribal Jenna was like this is either the end or its not so let's go ahead a vote. Jeff was like really? He said that's the fewest amount of questions he's ever asked at tribal.

Donathan did use his idol, but on himself. He got one vote. Sebastian got one vote, but Jenna go the other three to be sent home.

Tribal Council (#2)

Michael knows he is the target now so he tries various things. First, he tried to "borrow" the idol from Donathan just to show everyone in his temp tribe that he has one, and then will give it back. Donathan was like nope. Not happening. End of discussion. He then tells Angela that he does have an idol so to save her vote she should write down Wendell's name instead. Laurel gets caught up in the lie as well and debates voting for Kellyn to save herself if he is protected. Domenick tried to reassure everyone that he does not have an idol, but did they listen?

Umm, no. Kellyn and Wendell got one vote. Kellyn used her advantage of an extra vote and wrote down Laurel twice out of paranoia. Michael got the other two votes. Tied at two apiece!

On the re-vote, with Michael obviously not having an idol, Domenick, Wendell and Kellyn all voted him out (Michael and Laurel did not get to vote the second time).

So that leaves us with (total votes received in parentheses):

Lavita: Angela (3), Kellyn (1), Domenick*, Chelsea, Donathan* (2), Sebastian (1), Laurel (2), and Wendell*(2).

Voted out (in order): Gonzalez, Jacob, Morgan, Brendan, Stephanie, James, Bradley

Voted out and on the jury (in order): Chris, Libby, Desiree, Jenna, Michael

*Has a Hidden Immunity Idol. 

Domenick found his idols in Week 1 and his second one this week. 
Michael found one in Week 2 and played it in Week 3, and another in Week 6 which he played in Week 8.
Wendell found one in Week 6
Chris got one on Ghost Island in Week 7, but was voted out with it in his pocket. 
Donathan found his first idol in Week 9.

**Has a Secret Advantage. Jacob willed it from Ghost Island to Morgan in Week 1. Morgan was voted out in Week 2, and willed it to Domenick, who used it Week 7.

Kellyn got hers from Ghost Island in Week 6 and used it this week.



Only 8 left!
