Survivor: Ghost Island - April 25 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.

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

Eleven are left. Who will be voted out tonight? 

Food is scarce. What did they expect? Desiree is ready to cast herself off the Naviti bandwagon. She believes she was on the bottom with them. Does she expect anything different from Malolo? Hmm. 

Reward Challenge -- two teams of five, rescue members of their teams, locks, puzzle. The reward is a flight and picnic. Winning team will send someone from the losing team to Ghost Island. Schoolyard pick. One won't play. Donathan didn't get picked. 

Sebastian, Jenna, Kellyn, Michael and Chelsea win Reward!

Angela, in a rock draw, goes to Ghost Island. 

Michael tries to work his way into the group. They aren't really encouraging back at him.

Meanwhile, at Ghost Island follows the fire to get to a game of chance where she can risk her vote to play. She knows she's the majority voting block, so risks it. Oops. No vote. 

Laurel tells Dominick that some of the Naviti girls want to flip and take out the "big" players. Kellyn is in shock that Desiree would be working against her. She thinks someone is trying to take the target off of Michael. 

Michael thinks he needs an idol to stay alive. Donathan goes with him. Michael isn't thrilled about that. Donathan finds one half of the super idol (Tai) and a clue that the other half is under the flooring at the camp. He tells and uses Michael and Laurel to get the other part. 

Time for the Immunity Challenge. Balance a ball on a disc balanced on two ropes. Last one remaining in it wins it. Wendell, Jenna and Desiree out. Laurel out. Angela out. All in less than a minute into the challenge. Donathan out. Dom out -- two minutes in. Michael out. Kellyn out. It's down to Chelsea and Sebastian.

Chelsea wins Immunity! 

Desiree still wants Kellyn out. She's furious that Laurel told Dom that she's after Kellyn. She thinks it's back to getting rid of Michael. 

Now we have a kerfuffle going on between Desiree and Laurel. Now Dom is suspicious of Desiree. She just might have painted a target on her own back with her scheming. Desiree is denying her betrayal in a talk with Kellyn. Kellyn still thinks Naviti needs to remain strong for now. 

Tribal Council time! Donathan brings up the Desiree/Laurel kerfuffle. A kerfuffle ensues.

The tally -- no one plays an idol.

Desiree, Desiree, Desiree, Desiree, Michael, Michael, Desiree, Desiree.

Desiree is out. She did it to herself.

Next week two will be voted out.
