Survivor: Ghost Island - May 9 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. Refresh the page to get the latest!

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
Laurel Johnson - PDX Granny, Donna in FL 
Sebastion Noel - Indiana Jane, Shannon, Jackie 
Wendell Holland - Skyriverblue, Jennasmom 

JURY 
Chris Noble
Libby Vincek 
Desiree Afuye 
Jenna Bowman 
Michael Yerger  

Eight are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Kellyn, feeling cornered by the others, admits she had the extra vote and threw both votes to Laurel at the last Tribal Council.

Reward Challenge - spa with ribs, chicken, burgers, ice cream ... and a loved one. (Schmaltz time!) Gag me now, please. They've been apart a whole month. 

They have to race through obstacles, unknot sandbags, more obstacles, toss sandbags at a target. 

Sebastian wins! He chooses Dom to go with him. Then he picks Wendell. One more -- Donathan!

He also has to choose someone to go to Ghost Island for an automatic advantage. He can choose himself. Wendell gives up the love time with Dad to get the advantage. 

Wendell's advantage is the one Malcolm had -- if he drops the ball in the challenge, he gets another shot at it. Malcolm dropped the ball twice, thus blowing his advantage.

Dom wants to talk business with his boys at the lunch. Donathan is a bit leery. He thinks he needs to take out a bigger target if he can. But he wasted his idol last Tribal. 

The girls think they can pull in Donathan and break up Dom/Wendell. Laurel knows both Dom and Wendell each have an idol. She's definitely thinking of going with the girls ... keyword: thinking. We'll see. 

Immunity Challenge time -- as we had hints earlier, balancing a ball on a sectioned cylinder. Wendell has to read his advantage to the rest.

Kellyn first out. Next round has a fourth section added. Angela off, Wendell dropped but can go again. Wendell now out with a second drop. Final round with a fifth section added. Sebastian out. Laurel out. Chelsea out. Dom and Donathan left up. 

Domenick wins Immunity!

Wendell is feeling secure. Dom and Wendell want to target Chelsea. Kellyn wants Wendell out. They want to pull Donathan in. They talk to him. Donathan agrees he's down with the girls. We'll see. They think it must be a blindside. 

Laurel is sending out bad vibes but not telling Wendell. He's suspicious. She and Donathan talk. They do think it might be time. But they're both a bit leery of taking the jump and voting out their ally Wendell. 

Tribal. Uh-oh. Donathan says that there is an opening for either him or Laurel. All seem worried. Then he says that both the girls and the guys have come to him. Jeff's questions get them all wondering even more. And, then it's time to vote.

The tally -- Wendell does NOT play his idol.

Wendell, Chelsea, Wendell, Chelsea, Wendell, Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea

They did NOT make the move and now Chelsea's gone.

Hi Jackie and Everyone. Last week I could not sign onto the blog until last Thursday. That could have been part of the reason fewer people were on the blog.

Glenn Allen said...

Kellyn could be in trouble because of her double voting last tribal.

tbc said...

Hi, Jackie!! Hi, Glenn!
Hi all to follow!
I brought Pinot Grigio!!
Enjoy

Jackie S. said...

Hi, guys!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi TBC. I love the family visits.

jennifer said...

Hi everyone!!

Jackie S. said...

I can see me on this now ... "Jackie, here's your cat Vincent!"

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Jennifer.

jennifer said...

That is some ugly crying!!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie!! Thank you so much for giving us a place to come! Appreciate it!

Hi everyone!

Nickelpeed said...

If these women do not do something, the men will win. They better watch Laurel, though, she could go back and tell the others.

Wendell really didn't need that advantage. He's probably never going home.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny! Kellyn might be trying to form an all girls alliance. That was a weird twist telling everyone that an advantage was at Ghost Island.

Nickelpeed said...

I agree with Kellyn. One of them could have been there. It's sad.

Nickelpeed said...

Yes, it was. I think that was unfair.

I do not think Laurel will go for a change. She's too tight with Wendell and Dominick.

Nickelpeed said...

Okay, it's not a sure thing, then.

Nickelpeed said...

Don't believe him, guys!!!

jennifer said...

Stop complaining and finally do something 🤗

Joe in NY said...

Hi folks....

Oy, another sexist alliance

Nickelpeed said...

I hope it happens, but, it won't, you watch.

Nickelpeed said...

If she goes and tells the guys, I'll scream!!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Joe!

Joe in NY said...

Laurel might as well stay where she is. Why would you trade your final 3 with the two guys with idols for a Final 4 with a bunch of people you have no history with. Oh, that's right, cuz it's only sex that matters. Maybe an all black alliance? An all white alliance? An all gay alliance? Humans deserve the war they breed from their own silly tribalism

Glenn Allen said...

Wendell with the second chance advantage and gets to practice. donathan not sure if he wants to join the guys alliance. will anyone trust Kellyn because of the double votes and her navita strong campaign all game long.

Nickelpeed said...

Glenn, I hope the women do something. However, I worry about Laurel. She could ruin it all. They do need to target Wendell or Dominick with a blindside. If Laurel goes back an tells them what the women are planning, one of them will use their idol. If that happens, it could be one of the women.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi joe. this immunity challenge will be very important!

jennifer said...

My nose would surely start to itch during this challenge lol

Glenn Allen said...

Kellyn was out very fast. Angela out Wendal now using his second chance very quickly1 I agree Penny. The curse of malcoms continues.

Nickelpeed said...

Wendell just found out how hard this challenge is.

Nickelpeed said...

Me, too, Jennifer! I would itch somewhere! LOL

Nickelpeed said...

CRAP!!!!

Glenn Allen said...

Dom with the win does Wendel suspect he might need to use his Idol. Which way will Dontahon and Laurel go?

Joe in NY said...

Fatigue, especially in those conditions, is the big problem. Muscle fatigue causes shaking and shaking dislodges the ball. After all those weeks of deprivation, it's amazing they last as long as they do.

Nickelpeed said...

I do not see Laurel changing ever.

jennifer said...

Love the number count on the tree!

jennifer said...

Do they have the guts to do a big move? And will Wyndal pull the idol out??

Nickelpeed said...

They'll vote with the guys.

Joe in NY said...

Laurel would be silly to jump. Those girls do not have her back, they just want her vote. She'll be on the bottom of a bigger group.

Nickelpeed said...

It's going to be a short TC. All these commercials!!!

Nickelpeed said...

Joe, I don't think Laurel will vote with the women, either.

Nickelpeed said...

Why did he say something???? That was NOT good!

Glenn Allen said...

Wendal will probably use his idol now.

Nickelpeed said...

How are they going to do a blindside? However, the men are too smug.

jennifer said...

Did Donathan just give things away??

Joe in NY said...

Whoever thought bringing Donathan into their alliance is probably rethinking that now. LOL. The best move is now to take out Donathan because he can't be trusted.

Nickelpeed said...

Oh yeah, Wendell will use his idol. Only a few know about it. I wish Laurel had told the others. But, she'll vote with the guys.

Nickelpeed said...

So true, Joe.

Nickelpeed said...

What a jerk! I'm sorry, but D is a jerk.

Joe in NY said...

Donathan really just sunk his own game. Nobody is going to trust him going forward.

jennifer said...

Agreed!!

Nickelpeed said...

Oh they'll be a blindside, but not Wendell.

Joe in NY said...

I don't think Donathan was trying to be a jerk. I just think he's kind of that naive and ignorant. He really didn't understand how that was going to sound and play out.

Glenn Allen said...

Wow Wendal didn't use his idol?

jennifer said...

Mouth wide open... shocking

jennifer said...

Back to camp will be interesting!

Nickelpeed said...

I love that fire snuffer!!!

tbc said...

Hmmmm

Joe in NY said...

Laurel is in great shape now. [I do like her a lot, by the way.] She's still solid with the guys and Donathan. And I'm pretty sure Donathan is now on everyone's S list. Laurel should be able to waltz to the final 4 with either the guys or the remaining girls.

Nickelpeed said...

Agree, Joe. Still, wow.

jennifer said...

Have a great week everyone! Thanks for hosting Jackie, hope you’re healing well!!

Jackie S. said...

Thank you for coming by!

Nickelpeed said...

Jackie, thank you so very much. Really appreciate it. Hope you are improving.

See every one next week!!!

Joe, I think Laurel is always with the guys.

Nickelpeed said...

Like I said, if they don't change things, it will be Laurel, Wendell and Dominick.

Glenn Allen said...

Thanks Jackie!

David said...

Awww, my pool gals torch got snuffed. She was doing good in challenges, just not quite good enough. I didn't think she had a chance with those guys running everything anyway. That may have been their last chance to take one of those guys out.

Thanks Jackie. I hope you are making good progress on your recovery.

Everyone have a great week.
