It’s Survivor time and it’s night 29 on Lavita. Kelly talks about her double vote and explains to Laurel why she had to do what she did and throw both votes Laurel’s way. Laurel, of course, is disappointed but realized that Wendell and Dom stuck with her and loyalty means everything.
Come on in guys! It’s reward challenge! They will race to a tree through obstacles and first who finishes will win pastries and ice cream and — loved ones!
Wendell’s dad comes out!

Kellyn’s older brother Craig is there. She’s so perky.
Donathan’s Aunt Patty. Wow, what a relationship with an Aunt.
Angela’s daughter Paige came out. (Damn onions) They talk about Angela’s service. More tears.
Chelsea’s sister Sydney comes out. “I told you I’d get your ass out here,” Chelsea says to her sister.
Laurel’s brother Frank is there. Laurel talks about her brother being her rock.
Sebastian’s little sister Grace comes out next. “I’m so proud of you and missed you so much,” said Grace.
Domenick’s wife Kristen is there and he loses it — “I love you and hate you so much,” she says.
Why am I in tears 😭.#Survivor

The competition begins and it’s close because they are all fighting for time with their loved ones. Sebastian wins!
He picks Domenick and his wife to go with him as well as Wendell and Wendell Sr. One more person: Donathan and his Aunt get picked. Sebastian gets to pick someone to Ghost Island. He can even go if he wants to or send one of the people that he’s taking on the adventure. Wendell voluntarily decides to go to Ghost Island instead of having dinner with his dad. Jeff said they are guaranteed to get an advantage. One of the remaining women complains that they could’ve gone on the trip if Wendell had decided to go to Ghost Island and not on the adventure. Oh well, ladies, that’s how the game is played.
Wendell is seen going to Ghost Island. He earns the same advantage in the same challenge that Malcolm received in Survivor’s 25th season. This advantage has been living on Ghost Island for six years. Wendell gets two attempts if the ball falls off in the next immunity challenge.
Domenick talks about loving to spend time with his wife, but he has to talk to Donathan and Wendell about working together. It’s four guys and four girls, and Donathan talks about having to take out someone big. Kellyn complains that the men ‘went off and left them behind.’ Bitter Kellyn, they WON! The women say they can pull in Donathan, but I don’t think so, and they want to break up Domenick and Wendell. Kellyn says “Watch out boys, we’re coming for you,” and yet they need another boy to help do the job. Um. Laurel knows that Domenick and Wendell have idols, and she’s the only one who knows. Why aren’t they looking for another idol?
Come on in guys!
It’s time for the ball challenge. Wendell tells everyone his advantage. The game begins:
Kellyn drops first.
10 minutes later Angela never gets the bar up, so she’s eliminated.
Wendell drops but has a second chance and Jeff counts him back in.
Wendell drops again. Curse remains in effect.
Final round: Domenick and Laurel shake but recover. Sebastian drops.
Laurel drops. Why is Domenick so much higher than everyone else, but it’s working and he’s down with Domenick versus Donatha. He moves, but recovers. Donathan is shaking and drops. Domenick wins immunity! Perfect since the women were coming after him. Now let’s hope that Wendell plays his idol.
Back at Lavita, Day 32, it’s time for some trash-talking — well, some talking. They congratulate Domenick and when Wendell and Domenick talk, they want Chelsea out because she’s a challenge beast. Angela wants Wendell out first and Kellyn is trying hard to get Wendell out. Angela goes with the women to go with trying to pull in Donathan and get him to vote Wendell.
Side note:
Chelsea is talking about Wendell being the stronger competitor but didn’t bring up the fact that he took two tries in the last immunity challenge, while Donathan almost won it. LOGICAL?????? Wendall talks about playing his idol if anyone looks at him wrong. Donathan is concerned about Laurel being pulled this way and that way. He tells Laurel that he wants to go big or go home.
Of course, Donathan throws a wrench into the plan by talking about a hole at tribal council. Domenick and Wendell are confused. Donathan talks about the girls and the guys coming to him so he talks about a crack. I don’t like Donathan’s smug look. You want to play the game, fine, but the look will make nobody trust you going forward. That puts a big target on your back. Donathan talks about a blindside. He likes controversy, for sure.
Time to vote. Does Wendell use his idol? NO!
Votes are in. Who gets kicked off of Survivor? Chelsea! Wendell skated by that one. Both Donathan and Laurel voted for Chelsea like they said they would.

I made some changes in my list. I moved Donathan to the bottom. The Survivor trailer shows he stirs up more controversy next week, but I think this will paint a huge target on his back. And I was rooting for him.
Who’s left?
Domenick
Laurel
Sebastian
Wendell
Angela
Kellyn
Donathan
