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.
