PREVIOUSLY ON -- SURVIVOR: BANGKOK ROOKIES & VETERANS . . . . ![]() ![]() Twenty eager players met up to showdown in the 11th season of Brobst's Survivor Online Games. This game would feature one tribe of newcomers and one tribe of returning players. Would lines be drawn in the sand, or would everyone play the way they need to and treat this as a true SURVIVOR chess match? ![]() ![]() The game began with the Rookies & Veterans already set in their tribes. Private communication could only happen between those on the same tribe, but public communication could be done openly with everyone in "The Temple." ![]() Our two tribes of ten were as follows: PATTAYA TRIBE: (Rookies) BETSY BRUCE BURTON CLAY DAWSON FLICKA JAY PEIH-GEE REYNOLD SANDY SATHON TRIBE: (Veterans) BRENDAN CHAD DARRAH ELYSE GILLIAN JUDD KEITH KIMMI MICHELLE YAU-MAN The two tribes met up for our first challenge"THE ESSENTIALS" which was reminiscent of the very 1st challenge Brobst ever hosted back on Season 1. Each player would have to find & post a photo of FIRE - WATER - FOOD - and SHELTER. But before we began, the players were informed that both tribes would be heading directly to Tribal Council afterwards and that this challenge was for individual immunity . . . . SURVIVORS READY? GOOOOOO!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Finishing first for the ROOKIES was Burton, and the first person for the VETERANS was Darrah. ![]() ![]() H O W E V E R . . . . As each tribe sat at their own private Tribal Council, they eagerly awaited the reading of the votes, which happened in a normal fashion. Sandy had the most votes at PATTAYA, and Gillian received the most at SATHON. And then, in a SURVIVOR first............this particular night was actually revealed to be a NON- ELIMINATION ROUND. Both tribes were informed that NO ONE would be going home. And now Sandy and Gillian knew exactly where they stood and were given a rare opportunity to do something about it. They were spared that night. But would either of them be able to leverage this second chance into a better position? Or would they both remain "SITTING DUCKS???" ![]() ![]() NOW . . . . Each tribe began working on their FLAG TASK with tension at each camp since the person each tribe thought would NOT still be around.............WAS. After both Flags were completed, they were put on display for everyone to see. ~ PATTAYA TRIBE ~ ![]() ~ SATHON TRIBE ~ ![]() Our ROOKIE and VETERAN tribes then met up for the next challenge -- "BE THE NINJA." The VETERANS were competing for individual immunity, while the ROOKIES were competing for a reward. The newcomer who won the reward was Reynold, and the more seasoned player who secured immunity for the second time was Darrah. ![]() ![]() The SATHON Veterans then headed to their Tribal Council -- and Reynold's reward was that he got to sit in on their Tribal Council where it was later revealed that he would award individual immunity to another Veteran. After they campaigned for reasons why they should be given it or other people SHOULD NOT be awarded it, Reynold gave it to Kimmi, making her safe for the night. Reynold then headed back to the PATTAYA camp. Then, after a legendary tie vote THIS EARLY IN THE GAME between Gillian and Elyse . . . . . Elyse was the first person to leave the game after the re-vote. ![]() "MATCH UP" was our next challenge which reversed the events from the previous one. The ROOKIES were competing for an individual immunity while the VETERANS were competing for a reward. They were won by Flicka and Darrah respectively. ![]() ![]() Darrah sat in on the PATTAYA Tribal Council and chose to award individual immunity to Reynold. Then she returned to the SATHON camp shortly before the Rookies voted out Bruce as the second person to leave the game in a very unexpected turn of events. ![]() "QUICK EYE" was up next which had each tribe competing for an individual immunity knowing that both tribes would be heading to Tribal Council to vote someone out. Betsy won for the ROOKIES, and Yau-Man won for the VETERANS. Keith and Reynold were the casualties that night . . . . with the Rookie Tribal Council starting off with a 4 - 4 - 1 tie with Burton and Reynold on the line before the re-vote sent him on his way. ![]() ![]() * * * Immediately afterwards -- we reshuffled into two new tribes of eight members each, and this was accomplished by a schoolyard pick where each person that was selected would choose someone from the opposite tribe to join them. * * * Our tribes were now as follows: NEW PATTAYA TRIBE: BETSY DARRAH BURTON CHAD JAY BRENDAN SANDY GILLIAN NEW SATHON TRIBE: YAU-MAN DAWSON MICHELLE FLICKA JUDD PEIH-GEE KIMMI CLAY With two new tribes consisting of 4 ROOKIES and 4 VETERANS, the game was only going to get more complicated from here. Knowing that someone HAS to flip unless they want to leave it to the uncertainty of how a tie-breaker would be decided, this added new stakes to the challenges which were now tribe vs. tribe instead of individually based. "RESCUE ME" was the next challenge, and it required the new tribes "rescuing" a hidden player by getting into a password-protected forum, and then the hidden person would have to accurately dictate the rest of the instructions to their tribemates. ~ NEW PATTAYA WINS IMMUNITY!!! ~ NEW SATHON then headed to Tribal Council where the pressure had been high in this tribe with how they would handle this vote (on paper) of a 4 - 4 scenario. Would they purposefully deadlock it & roll the dice? Or would one or multiple people flip? And to which side? When all was said and done . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Peih-Gee was happily voted out that night by all of her giddy tribemates. ![]() ![]() . . . . . . was won by the NEW PATTAYA tribe, sending the NEW SATHONS back to Tribal Council where Kimmi was the victim of the vote that night. ![]() "PASS THE BALL" was up next where each tribe had to see how long they could keep it going passing a ball from player to player in alphabetical order. AND THE WINNING TRIBE WAS . . . . . . ![]() ![]() ![]() ~ THE NEW SATHON TRIBE!!! ~ NEW PATTAYA then headed to their first Tribal Council where Betsy was voted out NOT due to her bobble on this challenge . . . . . . but due to the fact that she just never got socially into the game as much as she was enjoying things. ![]() "CRAZY CAPTION" was our next challenge which was judged by a secret panel of special guests. ![]() And in a massive blowout win . . . . . . ~ NEW SATHON WINS IMMUNITY!!! ~ The NEW PATTAYANS headed back to Tribal Council where challenge rockstar Darrah was the next player to be voted out. ![]() *SHORTLY AFTER SHE SETTLED IN TO PONDEROSA, THE PLAYERS WERE MERGED INTO ONE TRIBE.* ~ T H O N B U R I ~ is the name - and it's anybody's game! ![]() "DIRTY SANTA" was our first post-merge challenge that involved choosing and stealing gifts with some being valuable and some just being toiletries and such. Flicka secured an advantage in the F8 challenge, Gillian ended up with a hint for the F6 challenge, and Burton got immunity good for the F10 round, while Chad ended up with immunity good for this F12 merge vote only. ![]() We headed to the T H O N B U R I Tribal Council where Sandy's disappearing act gave them a very easy 12 - 0 vote. ![]() "STOP & GO" was won by Michelle, which sent jokester and riddle-meister Clay to be the first to arrive at the Jury House . . . . . . ![]() "YOU'RE NUTS" was our next event where the players had to secretly distribute coconuts to their fellow tribemates, and the person with the most would be immune. And this night we saw . . . . . ![]() At the T H O N B U R I Tribal Council that night, Gillian was the target in what was becoming quite the UNANIMOUS voting trend. ![]() Next, our Final 9 were ready to "STRIKE A POSE" by placing the Survivor cast photos in the correct order. And for the second time so far . . . . . ![]() Tribal Council saw a big player take a fall in a 7 - 2 vote between Yau-Man and Burton . . . . . . . . IN WHICH . . . . ............Yau-Man was the 3rd person to get settled in to the Jury House. ![]() "SQUARE IT" was our Super Bowl Sunday challenge that we did in the afternoon. ![]() With the goal of having the most space around you to still make moves, and with Flicka's advantage of switching places with any player one time during the challenge . . . . . ![]() Burton was then voted out in a 7 - 1 Tribal Council between Dawson and himself. ![]() Our Final 7 next had to solve the "COMBINATION" to a password-protected forum using certain numbers from a Sudoku puzzle they would fill in. ![]() And Michelle quickly solved the combination to retrieve the Immunity Necklace . . . . . ![]() Brobst then asked the seven remaining players that if the trend of unanimous votes is sticking, then why not just vote publicly since on almost each vote, everyone but the one person knows they're going. So they publicly voted out Dawson that night. ![]() The Final 6 had a quick challenge next where they had to "COUNT 'EM QUICK" and post the number of faces appearing in an image of Survivors . . . . . ![]() AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN . . . . . ![]() Judd was the target that night -- and even missed the voting deadline -- making this fully unanimous. (((P.S. Shortly after being voted out..........Judd's "Ninja Game" finally loaded, he he.))) ![]() Now down to the Final Five, the pressure was increasing as everyone was thinking of different strategy possibilities.........each hoping to secure their place in the Final Four with ways to get to the end in the most favorable circumstances. "IN REVERSE" involved using letter tiles to answer SURVIVOR trivia questions, but the letters would have to be posted . . . . . ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() AND A NEW NECKLACE WAS SECURED WHEN . . . . . . ![]() We had a 3 - 2 split vote that night between Chad & Michelle that sent a surprised Chad to the Jury House. ![]() "SEARCH & SOLVE" involved locating six number tiles throughout various threads, and then placing them in the correct order to match these details . . . . . * R I D D L E : ![]() * S O L U T I O N : ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON . . . . . . ![]() Michelle was not in attendance that night, so she was easily voted out next to join the Jury. ![]() ~ With the Finale in sight, the only way to be 100% safe in the midst of everyone's own agenda was to have the immunity around your neck. ~ Next -- our Final Three of Jay, Flicka, and Brendan gave their Fallen Comrades statements, and a TRIBUTE VIDEO was posted honoring those who were no longer in the game. The Final Immunity Challenge pitted our last three remaining on tribe T H O N B U R I against each other to secure their own spot at Final Tribal Council & also get to decide who would sit next to them. And it was a hard fought battle as they each tried to make sure the coins don't slip "THROUGH YOUR FINGERS." ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() AFTER A HALF-HOUR ERROR-FREE FROM EACH OF THEM, WE SHORTENED OUR POSTING DEADLINE TO THIRTY SECONDS UNTIL EVENTUALLY . . . . . ![]() * * * The final player to join the Jury House was Flicka who was widely considered a threat to win the title. * * * ![]() Now, here we are . . . . . . We are down to our FINAL TWO. ~ J A Y . . . . ![]() ~ B R E N D A N . . . . ![]() Both of them have faced various obstacles throughout their journey to reach the final stage of this game. ~ IT'S BEEN A SEASON OF TWISTS, SURPRISES, FRIENDSHIPS, DRAMA, BLINDSIDES, AND MUCH MORE! ~ TOMORROW . . . . SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16th, STARTING AT 5:00pm CENTRAL TIME, OUR JURY RETURNS TO QUESTION THE FINAL TWO. OUR FINALISTS WILL FACE THEIR JURY, PLEAD THEIR CASE, AND ACCOUNT FOR THEIR ACTIONS AS THE FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL PLAYS OUT LIVE. ~ ONE WILL OUTLAST ALL THE REST TO BECOME . . . . . ![]() ![]()
