Survivor Season 38 Edge of Extinction Week 6 Recap

For Survivor's 38th season, 18 castaways (12 remaining) will be sorted into two groups as usual. However, this season introduces a new twist, wherein contestants who are voted off have an option to take a boat to an area known as the "Extinction Island", rather than leave the game permanently. Contestants then may either wait for an opportunity to re-join the main game, or may choose to leave the game at any point. The remaining contestants will initially be unaware of this twist. There are currently six people on the island.

The Merge


It was time to drop the buffs and start the merge! But first, before everyone could even enjoy the moment, Jeff dropped a bomb...and out came all the people from Extinction Island. Now we can find out how this is going to work.

All six of them would compete in the challenge, with the winner being back in the game. Chris had gotten the advantage to practice a part of the challenge, but Keith had an advantage also and used it against Chris.

First they had to climb up an obstacle and then crawl over a cargo net, untying a bag on the way. The next part was to use the bamboo pieces in the bag to build a long enough pole to reach a key. This is what Chris had practiced. However, it was Aubry that busted through like a bat outta hell, getting her key and moving to the final puzzle.

It was the puzzle where they held onto ropes and pulled a curved piece of wood up a snake shaped puzzle with a hole at the top. First to get the ball in the hole would be back in the game.

Aubry had untied the last bag to get her ball out and was working on the puzzle. This is where Keith used his advantage on Chris, making him untie many more knots than everyone else.

Aubry made it to the top, and dropped. So did Reem, and Wendy, and Chris. Slowly making his way up and finishing first was Rick. After he rejoined the group and they all left, Jeff was having heartfelt discussions with all the rest...and offered them the chance to go back to Extinction Island once again. Needless to say, they were elated.

EXTINCTION ISLAND

Not much to report here as they didn't show very much. However, as quickly as they got there Wendy and Keith went out and raised the sail to quit and leave the game. Leaving Reem, Chris and Aubry to survive and play on.

********************************************************************************
Immunity Challenge


This challenge is the one where they stand on a beam holding a pole, with a statue balanced on the end. Fall off or drop your statue and you're out. As time elapsed they would move to narrower parts of the beam.

The first round took out Ron and Gavin. The second round took out Wardog on the transfer, and then Rick, Victoria, and Aurora. Round three's only victim was Wentworth. The last round took out the pretenders quick: down went Eric, Julia, David, and even Joe. Julie outlasted Lauren to win immunity, her first.


********************************************************************************
Tribal Council


The immediate target at camp was Rick, but he found some sympathy as some thought it would be bad form to send him right back out. Julie, for one, was on his side. Because they knew he might be a target right away, he was given an idol in his bag, but it was only 1/2 an idol and that he would have to give the other half to someone else. He chose David, but it would only work after this tribal, so he had to survive one round to make it effective.

The "Kama 6" were debating between voting out Joe or Wentworth, though they could never seem to come to a consensus. They were also debating a Rick/David split vote.

Rick did get two votes. And David got three. Wentworth got two votes. Someone seemed to play a different game though as Joe ended up getting six votes to be sent out. He did choose Extinction Island.

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


Wardog, Lauren* (7), Wentworth* (6), David (3), Victoria, Eric, Gavin, Julia, Aurora, Julie, Ron, Rick***

Voted out (in order): Reem, Keith, Chris, Rick, Aubry, Wendy, Joe

Extinction Island: Reem, Chris, Aubry, Joe
Chose to quit the game: Keith, Wendy

*Has a Hidden Immunity Idol
Lauren found hers in Week 2.
Aubry found hers Week 3 but got voted out and it no longer has power.
Wentworth found hers in Week 5.

**Has a Secret Advantage
Ron found his on the boat in Week 1. It had to be played by Week 3 so it's no longer any good.
Aubry was sent an extra vote from from Rick on Extinction Island in Week 5 ,but then got voted out and went to the island herself so hers is no longer and good.

***Has made it back into the game from Extinction Island
