[BigBrother_Survivor] 'Survivor: Ghost Island' Recap: Can Michael Make Amends with Bradley?

 

 This camp might be in trouble when the merge happens. I wonder if they are even thinking about that. If this camp starts winning immunity then their group will start losing its members  Looks like its Bradley and Michael in charge .  taking out each member of the small team. Is that fair? Maybe but they are doing it to eliminate the whole tribe. If they keep losing what would happen is all of them will be eliminated and wthey will have to evict their own when the merge comes. I wonder if there will be one more drop your buffs for 2 teams? That would be fun.

'Survivor: Ghost Island' Recap: Can Michael Make Amends with Bradley?

Last time on Survivor: Ghost Island, the contestants took part in two challenges, and Kellyn was sent to Ghost Island, where she decided not to risk her vote by playing a game. It was sort of a letdown.

At a tribal council, Brendan, Michael and Stephanie tried their hardest to sway a member of the Naviti Five to their side, and Michael even bluffed that his idol could save two people from being sent home. In the end, Brendan was the fourth person voted out of the game.

This episode of Survivor: Ghost Island, "A Diamond in the Rough," kicks off back at camp after tribal. Bradley rejoices in the fact that he wasn't sent packing, and Michael apologizes for the big, whopping lie that he told about the idol being able to save two people. Some of his tribemates appreciate the fact that Michael played his idol for Stephanie instead of keeping it for himself. Michael also failed to "reverse the curse," but I am not sure that matters at this point. Still, Michael has shown himself to be a strong physical and mental player, and the Naviti Five take notice. 

Reward Challenge

For this challenge, contestants must climb over a series of tables and move a pile of big sand bags. When they uncover a lever, they will pull it and send down a cascade of smaller sand bags. They must gather them up, transport them to the finish line and then throw them at a spinning target until the target moves down enough to trigger a flag. When a tribe hits all three targets and releases the flags, they win. So what delicious reward will Probst dangle in front of the players this time? Probst goes for an old favorite --coffee and pastries. The winning tribe must then choose a member from the losing tribe to go to Ghost Island.

Those large sand bags are very heavy, and Malolo pulls the lever first. Chris is the first player to throw for the target, giving Naviti a slight lead. Chris is killing it in this challenge! He gets three flags before Sebastian even hits a target. I hope that this impressive win doesn't go to Chris' head. Alas, he composes a rap about his awesomeness, including a "mic drop." Naviti claims the cinnamon rolls and coffee. They decide to have Malolo draw rocks to decide who will trek over to Ghost Island. Stephanie picks the white rock. But never fear, she will be back in time for the next Immunity Challenge.

Ghost Island

Stephanie is worried about being away from Michael and Jenna but hopes that she can use Ghost Island to turn her game around. She smashes an urn and looks at her scroll. "Nope. Not today. No game for you." She is upset at first but uses the time to reflect on her life. She left her marriage, and the Mormon religion, all within six months. She is now a single mother and feels ready to focus all her remaining strength on the game. Stephanie wants to show her kids that she is self-reliant and a good role model, and she doesn't want to let them down. I am probably more upset than Stephanie, because I want something to happen on Ghost Island.

The tribe chows down on the delectable confections that they have won. James is happy to see that Chris has been willing to try and work together with the Malolo Four. Donathan gets homesick and goes to sit on the beach by himself. Laurel follows, and Donathan shares his story. The coffee and pastries remind him of his grandmother. She has had two strokes, and Donathan is her caregiver. He feels guilty that his mother must shoulder his responsibilities while he plays Survivor. Laurel hugs her teary-eyed friend. It is such a simple and emotional reminder of home. 

But Chris sees Donathan being emotional and decides to seize this opportunity and try to talk to Donathan. Chris hopes that he can connect with Donathan and win his trust. Chris tells Donathan about how he helped care for his mother when he was a teenager. His story touches Donathan, and now Donathan is starting to get cold feet about voting Chris out. Will Donathan really go against Laurel, Wendell and Domenick?

Immunity Challenge

Stephanie rejoins her tribe just before the challenge. Contestants must run across a rickety floating bridge while carrying a body board that is fastened to a rope. The challenger must grab a bag while the rest of the tribe will turn a giant wheel to pull them back to shore. Once all three bags are on shore, the teams will use the numbered puzzle pieces on a combination lock to release a key. The key will open a sliding puzzle, and the first tribe to correctly finish the puzzle wins immunity. 

Somehow Desiree, for Malolo, is barely hanging on to her board when she is pulled back to the beach, much to Probst's delight. Chelsea, who goes out twice for Mabolo, falls off the bridge into the water. On her way back to shore, she loses the body board. 

For Naviti, James and Dominick tackle the combination puzzle and are first to work on the slide puzzle. Bradley and Kellyn work on the slide puzzle for Malolo. Naviti finishes first, and clinches immunity while the dejected Malolo tribe looks on. Kellyn is emotional and feels as if she let everyone on her tribe down. Michael admits that it is one of the three remaining original Malolo who could be heading home after a fireside chat with Probst.

Malolo

Michael, Jenna and Stephanie know that one of them is heading home, and Michael admits that it is now every man for himself. Chelsea and Kellyn would like to vote out Jenna, since she is a weaker player. Jenna decides to flirt herself into Sebastian's good graces and offers to braid his hair. Of course, Sebastian is always in need of good braiders, so this strategy just may work. 

Sebastian decides to switch his vote to Stephanie, and Chelsea and Kellyn agree. Meanwhile, Stephanie begs Bradley (who believes that he is as good as Boston Rob) for a chance to stay in the game. Bradley then decides that Michael is the biggest threat, and Kellyn and Chelsea agree to target Michael. Michael chats with Bradley and explains the virtues of keeping him on the tribe for the physical challenges. He becomes emotional about playing the game that he loves, and he wants to stay. 

The Naviti Five discuss the three-remaining original Malolo members. Desiree decides to go through Stephanie's bag to see if she found any idols or advantages on Ghost Island. Sneaky!

Tribal Council

Kellyn admits that the Naviti Five have been debating all day on who to send home. Stephanie adds that she feels anxious because she was away overnight at Ghost Island. Michael again makes a case for keeping him because he is strong in the challenges and could help keep the numbers for the merge. Stephanie makes an impassioned plea to stay in the game, and Jenna explains that she has difficulty being vulnerable and letting her walls down. Desiree tells Probst that the Naviti Five have a good reason for voting out the person that is their target. Oh, the suspense!

The Vote

Stephanie is the fifth person voted out of Survivor: Ghost Island. Michael turns and whispers, "thank you," to Bradley, who gives him an all-powerful nod of the head. It turns out that Michael and Jenna also voted for Stephanie to prove their loyalty to the Naviti Five.

Do you think that Bradley is in total control of the Naviti Five? Do you think that Donathan will abandon his loyalty to Laurel in favor of Chris? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
