Survivor: Ghost Island - May 2 Blog Party


I will try my best to at least post the major events of the show as it airs this week. I still can't twist around or sit too long with the back surgery, thus the live blogging might not be as thorough as it could be.

Tonight we will see two castaways get their torches snuffed. Since it's not a double episode (listed as 61 minutes), this should be interesting!

Lifeguard Laurie has updated the pool and here's where we stand going into tonight's episode ...

POOL 
Chelsea Townsend - David, Merrilee 
Domenick Abbate - Donna in Alabama, Janice 
Donathan Hurley - Becky, Terry is a Texan!
Angela Perkins - monty924, Karen JC 
Kellyn Bechtold - Glenn Allen, Margo, Delee 
Michael Yerger - Sharon N., Tammy 
Jenna Bowman - Brian, Judi Sweeney 
Laurel Johnson - PDX Granny, Donna in FL 
Sebastion Noel - Indiana Jane, Shannon, Jackie 
Wendell Holland - Skyriverblue, Jennasmom 

JURY 
Chris Noble
Libby Vincek 
Desiree Afuye 

Ten are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Uh-oh, Laurel is feeling safe because she saved the others from Desiree last week. You know how things are when someone feels safe in the game! Sure enough, Kellyn is a bit suspicious.

Wendell and Dom are still doing their male bonding thing. Dom is willing to take the risk of cutting off Wendell when the time is right. He wants to find an idol. He finds the fake idol from S33. Jay got voted off using it. It's not a real idol. It has a curse -- Dom has to fool another player into thinking it's real. He's pondering how to use it. 

No Reward, right to Immunity. Pull up on a bar clamping a ball between two sets of jaws. Twist announced that two people will win Immunity and two separate Tribal Councils with two people out. Orange and Purple temporary tribes. Absolute last standing has their tribal last so they know who went home from the first one.

Orange -- Michael, Laurel, Domenick, Wendell, Kellyn
Purple -- Chelsea, Donathan, Angela, Sebastian, Jenna

Kellyn first out. Michael out. Donathan out. Laurel out. Sebastian, then Jenna out. Angela out. Chelsea wins individual immunity!

It's Domenick versus Wendell. They're trash-talking each other.

Wendell, though weakened, throws it to Dom. (He probably wouldn't have lasted.) Dom wins! 

Dom thinks getting rid of Michael shouldn't be an issue. Michael knows he's the target. He asks Donathan to borrow his idol just to show the others. Donathan doesn't want anyone on his tribe to know he has the idol. Michael wants to convince the others he has an idol even though Donathan doesn't loan him it. He tells Kellyn he has one. She tells Dom. He doesn't believe it and still plans to vote Michael. 

Kellyn thinks she should vote for Laurel. She goes to Wendell. Now Wendell thinks they need a plan. He tells Laurel that she might have to vote Kellyn. Ah, the chaos begins. Kellyn is planning to use her advantage and cast an extra vote on Laurel. Oh my.

On the other tribe, Sebastian and company plan on voting for Jenna while telling her they're voting Donathan. They don't want Donathan using his idol. Uh-oh, he's thinking of saving Jenna! He's also worried about Laurel on the other tribe. Jenna is planning on using him and voting for him. Poor innocent Donathan!

Tribal Council #1. Three Naviti, two Malolo. Jenna says she's sure she's going home and is ready for the vote. It's short, not overly sweet and goes right into the vote.

The tally -- Donathan plays his idol -- he has his Super Idol. He plays it for himself, thank goodness.

The tally -- Donathan, Sebastian, Jenna, Jenna, Jenna

Jenna is out! She gets to sit with the jury so the next tribe knows she's been voted out.

Tribal Council #2. Once again with this team, Naviti has the voting numbers. Dom says he doesn't believe Michael has the idol. Yikes -- Dom whispers to Wendell. Now Kellyn is nervous. Laurel says she thinks she (Laurel) is the target now. Time to vote.

The tally -- remember Kellyn's advantage. No idols played.

Kellyn, Wendell, Laurel, Michael, Michael, Laurel

Re-vote -- Laurel and Michael can't vote.

Re-tally -- Michael, Michael.

He tried his best, but he's gone.

~~~SPLASH~~~ Hi Jackie, thank you for letting us come here, it is greatly appreciated. Hi Vincent, you handsome cat you!!

So double eviction tonight?

I'll say it again, if they do not break Dom and Wendell, they will always be 3 and beyond.

Nickelpeed said...

Oh brother, is he going to be the new Russell in finding the Idols?

Joe in NY said...

Hi folks.

Joe in NY said...

Okay, 'splain to me how we just saw Jeff throw that Idol into the fire, but Dom has the "authentic" fake idol?

Nickelpeed said...

Dom can use it to fake out another player.

Hi Joe!

Joe in NY said...

I'm not sure I like this twist. It undermines all the prior scheming

Nickelpeed said...

He make someone believe that it's a real idol, if he is clever enough to do so. Maybe hide it again to let someone else, he wants out, to find it.

Nickelpeed said...

Crap, Michael is on the Dom, Wendell, etc., team. Crap. You know they'll vote him out if he doesn't win this challenge.

Joe in NY said...

Do they have to keep both hands on it? Otherwise, they should probably alternate hands.

Nickelpeed said...

Dang it! The 3 who do not have to worry, are still in it. Grr

Nickelpeed said...

I didn't want either one of them to be the last left.

Nickelpeed said...

I wish Jeff would just shut up. LOL

Nickelpeed said...

So, if both teams vote out non-Naviti, it will be an all Naviti tribe.

Joe in NY said...

I'd kind of like Dom and Wendell to go to the end. They have kind of a fun but competitive relationship

Nickelpeed said...

OH, Joe, I see what you were talking about with the idol. He threw the original in the fire, but Dom supposedly found it. I'm guessing they are replica's or it's not real fire. LOL

Jackie S. said...

Not sure where everyone is, but glad you're here!

jennifer said...

Hi all!!~~splash~~ we have tornado issues here, so hopefully there is not a lot of weather alerts!! Just got in to watch!

Nickelpeed said...

It's so predictable, though, Joe. It looks like a straight shot. You know everyone will be gone except those two. If they make it, though, they fooled the rest because they let themselves be manipulated. If the others decide to pull a coupe, they better not tell Laurel because she'll tell Dom and Wendell.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jennifer!!! Just be safe.

Nickelpeed said...

Yep, Dom is going to plant the other fake idol.

Donathan just wants Michael to go. He would have never found that idol if it weren't for Michael convincing him to go look with him.

Nickelpeed said...

Michael needs a miracle.

Nickelpeed said...

This will be so interesting.

Jackie S. said...

Jennifer, where do you live that there are tornado warnings>

Joe in NY said...

I don't really love this twist.

BUT, a tribal of 5 is much more prone to mayhem and surprise than a tribal of 10. One person can easily swing the vote.

Nickelpeed said...

How absolutely stupid! He has an idol. Dang it. These people are so dumb.

Nickelpeed said...

LOLOLOLOL. It won't happen. He'll use it on himself.

jennifer said...

I am in de Soto, Kansas. We are just west of Kansas City, I am near the University of Kansas ( Rock chalk Jayhawk) it’s moving in from there. So far, I have only seen one interruption! ( we used to have a weather person that just liked to hear herself talk!) so far nothing!

jennifer said...

The hubs is Laughing at these hamsters!!!

jennifer said...

Hahaha!! We are using?

jennifer said...

Mouth is hanging open!!

Joe in NY said...

Good for Donathan

Joe in NY said...

Donathan must also know she voted for HIM. I bet he is very happy

Jackie S. said...

He won't win the season against some more cut-throat players, but Donathan made the right move there!

Nickelpeed said...

All tribal councils tonight. Last one must really short.

Nickelpeed said...

Crap, my station cut out them walking in to the TC. Grrrrr

Nickelpeed said...

Unfortunately, I think they'll call Michael's bluff.

jennifer said...

I have never seen whispering like this in tribal council before!!

Nickelpeed said...

I thought they whispered last season, too?

Nickelpeed said...

Did Kellyn mess up?

jennifer said...

I’m on the Michael train!!

Nickelpeed said...

Well, we know who is going home

Joe in NY said...

I'm surprised Jeff didn't at least explain that there was an extra vote, even if he didn't say who it was from

Nickelpeed said...

I want Michael to stay.

jennifer said...

So sad Michael!!!

Nickelpeed said...

Crap. Oh well. Had a feeling this would happen.

Jackie S. said...

He did quite well for an 18 year old kid on the show.

jennifer said...

Weather alert now... see y’all next week🤗

Nickelpeed said...

I hope Kellyn doesn't say she had the extra vote. They will target her next time. If she's smart, she'd remain quiet. Let them believe it's Michael.

Thank you so much for hosting us, Jackie. Take care of yourself.

Jennifer, stay safe.

See everyone next week!!

Jackie S. said...

Thank you for coming by. I have no clue where everybody else is tonight, but appreciate you being here!

Nickelpeed said...

Yes, he did, Jackie. Going to miss him.

Nickelpeed said...

Family time next week!!!!

Glenn Allen said...

Jackie and everyone! I was just now able to sign on to this blog. I tried last night and tonight. That could be a reason that less people were here.
