I think the correct one was sent home and maybe finally things will change for a certain tribe. Unless they merge next week maybe 3 to 2?

  'Survivor: Ghost Island' Recap: Malolo Rises From the Ashes

Last time on Survivor: Ghost Island, Probst blew everyone's minds by instituting another tribe swap. The contestants were split into three tribes: Naviti, Malolo, and Yanuya. It did little to help Malolo, who cruised once again into tribal council. James was blindsided and was the sixth person voted out of Survivor: Ghost Island.

Malolo

In "Gotta Risk It for the Biscuit," a depressed James faces the fact that he had to turn on his ally, James, but he is still the last and lonely original Malolo left. So, Michael is desperately looking for an Immunity Idol, and a way to stay in the game. And he finds one! 


He finds the actual fake immunity idol that Ozzy created on Survivor: Micronesia: Fans Vs. Favorites. That is cool. The only three players to handle it that season were all voted out in a row. The fake idol, which has been residing on Ghost Island, has been slowly maturing into a real idol over the past 10 years. Well, at least something exciting has been happening over on Ghost Island. 

Reward Challenge

For this challenge, each castaway will tug on a rope which will lift a disk that is in the middle of a circle. The contestants must balance on a wooden beam and keep holding the rope as they stack blocks. They must work as a group to stack up the blocks spelling the phrase "reward." If the blocks fall, it is back to the starting gate. The first tribe to finish will dine on steak, chicken and veggie kabobs with spices and a grill to cook them on. The second tribe to finish will score some chicken kebobs. (The contestants are salivating looking at the reward. Really, Probst, not even some s'mores for the grill? Come on! )The winning tribe will select someone from either of the other tribes to go Ghost Island. 

Naviti has Domenick sit out of the challenge, as does Laurel from Yanuya.  Naviti is almost finished but Chelsea topples the blocks, which send Domenick over the edge. Perhaps for a challenge where communication and concentration are key, having Domenick sitting on the bench yelling may have been a mistake. 

Naviti comes in first, followed by Yanuya. Malolo, once again, loses the challenge. Naviti decides to send Kellyn from Malolo to Ghost Island, since she has been there before. Kellyn, who is jumping for joy at her good fortune (just kidding) will be back to take part in the next challenge. 

Ghost Island

Kellyn smashes an urn, and her scroll says, "Game on. Follow the fire." Kellyn comes to the "Ghost Island Game of Chance," but the odds of winning have increased. Two of the three containers hold an advantage, but the third one will cost Kellyn her vote. Kellyn likes to trust her gut, and last time she felt pretty good about not playing. Kellyn decides to "risk it for the biscuit" and play the game. (I must say that we have some very quotable Survivors in season 36.)

Kellyn chooses wisely and wins an advantage. She has the real "steal a vote" parchment with Michaela's name on it that caused her to be voted out on Survivor: Game Changers. Michaela was sitting out a challenge and never noticed the secret advantage at her feet. Sara saw it, took it, and used the extra vote to send Michaela home. This time around, Kellyn cannot steal a vote, but she can use it as an extra vote. Kellyn hopes that this is a sign that she is going to make it to the end in the game. 

Naviti

The celebratory mood is cut short when Bradley starts barking orders at Donathan, and then at Domenick. Bradley laments how he must try and hide his disagreeable disposition and impatience, which often implodes his personal life. (Really?  I am shocked!) Bradley's tribe mates are not amused by his nasty personality. It seems like Domenick and Chelsea, who are original Naviti members along with Bradley, may be willing to work with Donathan and Libby to usher him out. Domenick agrees to the plan, but then wonders if he should stay true to Naviti.

Yanuya

The tribe is thrilled to win the skewers, and they enjoy some harmonious time together. Wendell is missing his girlfriend, Nicole, and asks the tribe to sing Happy Birthday to her for her special day. That is so sweet! While the rest of the group is napping, Wendell heads out to gather firewood and look for an idol. He spots a tree with an unusual appearance and finds a map to a hidden immunity idol at its base. He frantically digs for the idol and recovers it before anyone finds out. 


The idol is, in fact, the immunity idol necklace that Erik gave to Natalie in Survivor Season 16. After winning the necklace, Erik was guaranteed a place in the final four. The four women banded together to trick him into giving the necklace to Natalie, and Erik was promptly voted out. This disgraced relic has been living on Ghost Island and has grown into an actual hidden immunity idol. 

Malolo

This poor tribe is hungry and depressed. Desiree suggests burning the Malolo banner to get rid of the curse. But will it work?

Immunity Challenge

For this challenge, contestants must swim to a floating platform, run up it and jump off into the water. They must collect a set of floating rings and bring them back. Three people must swim over to a platform with the rings, and then toss the rings on to a floating target. Yanuya sits out Jenna, while Naviti sits out Chelsea.

It is a close contest overall, and Wendell clinches immunity for Yanuya. Malolo comes in second place, breaking their streak of losing eight of nine challenges. Naviti will visit Probst for a little campfire meeting. 

Naviti

Domenick apologizes for his awkward water performance, but no one seems to be blaming him. Well, except for Bradley, who blames Domenick for drinking too much coffee before the challenge. Domenick, Chelsea and Bradley rope in Donathan to help vote out Libby. Chelsea tells Libby that they are voting out Bradley. Will the old Naviti still hold strong?

Tribal Council

Domenick states that the old Naviti may still work together until the end. Bradley states that the tribe gets along well together. Donathan makes the mistake of pointing out that Malolo helped vote out Morgan, who was an original Naviti. Libby doesn't apologize for her part in blindsiding Morgan. Bradley discusses how he enjoys having conversations and debates with people. 

The Vote

Bradley is the seventh person voted out of Survivor: Ghost Island and he is completely shocked. He continues to mutter in disbelief as he walks away. In his closing interview, he adds that if he had made it all the way to the merge, he would have won the game. 
Do you think that Malolo has really beat the curse? Did Naviti do the right thing by voting out Bradley? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
