Survivor Season 38 Edge of Extinction Week 11 Recap

For Survivor's 38th season, 18 castaways (7 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 nine people on the island.





********************************************************************************
VATA

Ron tries to patch things up for not voting with Rick and ousting Wardog. He gives Rick his "advantage" he got off the boat in Week 1, knowing full well it had expired.

Rick knows it's him this week and no one else denies it. They even go through his bag checking to see if he has an idol, while he is out actually looking for an idol. He comes back into camp and catches Aurora, who doesn't even bother to hide or deny it.

The thing is though, Rick actually found the clue to an idol, but it is suspended over the camp in a tree. He wants to rush to it but patiently waits until everyone is asleep. He then scales the tree and pulls down the idol.

Reward Challenge (Loved Ones Day)

We get a visit from the loved ones which is always emotional. They even take part in the challenge. When the players rush to the beach to fill a bucket of water, they then toss the water in the air for their partner to catch in another bucket. This is then poured in a larger bucket to get a flag to rise. Winner gets a picnic with his loved one.

Apart from the game, Rick was hilarious at just throwing water (purposely?) all over his wife. The winner was actually Ron with the help of his husband. He chose Julie to go with him because of her loyalty, and Gavin who had gotten married two days before the game started and hadn't seen his new bride since.

Extinction Island

Nothing new seemed to happen here. Just the usual misery.

Immunity Challenge

This was an endurance one where they had to stand and support themselves between two walls with their arms, standing on a very narrow nub.

Rick was the first to drop, followed by Ron. Much later it was Victoria, Julie and Aurora dropping down. Gavin outlasted Lauren to win immunity.

Winners: Gavin (2), Rick (2), Aurora (2), Julie 

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

Rick not winning immunity was a big deal this time. However they weren't totally sure he didn't have an idol so they talked about maybe splitting the vote, maybe on Aurora.

However Lauren, Victoria and Aurora were also thinking Ron, but were afraid of a tie and a re-vote. They decided Aurora should give her extra vote to Gavin, who is the only one who could use it in case of a tie.

After votes were cast, Rick tried to use the advantage, but things exploded when he was told it has no power. However, while walking away he did a 180 and said that's okay, I still have this and pulled out the idol he had found earlier.

Rick got four votes that didn't count. Aurora got one vote, but Ron got the other three to be sent out. He chose the island as everyone else has.

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


Lauren*, Victoria, Gavin, Aurora** (7), Julie, Rick (4)


*Hidden Immunity Idols


Lauren found hers in Week 2.

Aubry found one in Week 3 but got voted out and it no longer has power.

Wentworth found one in Week 5. She was voted out Week 9 so it no longer has power.

Rick was awarded a 1/2 idol as help to keep him back in the game from Extinction Island. He gave the other half to David in Week 6. It was used Week 8. He found another one this week and had to use it to save himself.


**Secret Advantages

Ron found one on the boat in Week 1. It had to be played by Week 3 so it's no longer any good. He gave it to Rick this week as a ploy. Rick used it at this week's tribal to find it had no power.

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.

Aurora was sent an extra vote from Aubry from Extinction Island in Week 7. She gave to to Gavin this week in case of a tie vote at tribal.

David got and sent the advantage to Rick in Week 9 that he used to win immunity.

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