Survivor - Season 36 - Ghost Island - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Glad to see Jacob go. Smart move.

That was great!

@havadrpepper I totally get it. I have an unusual name and it's so difficult to live with. I discuss my name every single day!

Oh, I understand as well, that's why I chuckled. Growing up my name was mispronounced all the time until it became more common. Although it gets spelled wrong all the time because my mom chose not to use the female version of the name!

I totally get the name thing.

Mine is Sharyn And no one ever spells it right.

You would hate me then because I'm from Tn and I kinda have that accent, too. I like the kid.. I hope they give him a chance. Sounds like he could use one.. Michael lives about 30 minutes from me in Knoxville.

I don't hate him and I wouldn't hate you. Due to hearing loss I just can't understand a word he is saying!

@havadrpepper thanks for posting.

The only thing I didn't understand is after the water challenge, why did Donathan leave to be on his own?

I would think that would have been a good experience for him, but I don't understand why they had to choose someone to leave and why it was him?

The winning tribe as part of their win gets to choose a member from the other tribe to go to Ghost Island. 
I think they chose Donathan because he is a weak link in that tribe. There could be various reasons. So Donathan did not leave on his own. He was chosen to go by the other tribe. 
It can be a good experience, if you smash the urn and it gives you something good. In his case, it gave him nothing and perhaps was a negative as it gave others on his tribe more time to bond.

I'm so sorry about your hearing loss. Thanks for not hating me. ; ) You could probably understand me as people say I tend to talk real slow...

@GuardianAngel The winning tribe said they needed to send the weak players to Ghost Island so the losing team would have to vote out one of their strong players. I don't know how well that worked for them. I knew as soon as her butt left that bench to go whisper she was a goner. This seems like it's gonna be a good season.

It was Jacob that was voted off that tribal though, Gonzalez went the first.

I like the fact that not every visit to Ghost Island is going to have a "reward". For Donathan it ended up being more of an exile island experience only he had shelter unlike previous seasons.

Now that there is a tribal swap on day 7, the strong tribe vs weak tribe that was set up by the first 2 IC/TC's is out the window. The tribes will be back to a more balanced state. Game is wide open again and any alliances that have been made may be over. Wonder if Stephanie will end up on the same tribe as Morgan who got the special advantage from Jacob and if she does, does she say something? Can't wait to see!

Interesting fact about Jacob: He was a blogger about Survivor on a website devoted to the show. His bio on the website.
