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."





Posted Image





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.





Posted ImagePosted Image








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???"






Posted ImagePosted Image








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. :D After both Flags were completed, they were put on
display for everyone to see.

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.




Posted ImagePosted Image



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.






Posted Image






"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.




Posted ImagePosted Image



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.






Posted Image






"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.

Posted Image






* * * 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.






Posted Image








Posted Image



. . . . . . 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.






Posted Image






"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 . . . . . .





Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image







~ 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.





Posted Image






"CRAZY CAPTION" was our next challenge which was judged by a secret panel of special guests.





Posted Image






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.







Posted Image







*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!






Posted Image









"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.






Posted Image







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.


Posted Image



"STOP & GO" was won by Michelle, which sent jokester and riddle-meister
Clay to be the first to arrive at the Jury House . . . . . .






Posted Image






"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 . . . . .





Posted Image





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.






Posted Image






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 . . . . .





Posted Image






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.





Posted Image






"SQUARE IT" was our Super Bowl Sunday challenge that we did in the afternoon.





Posted Image
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 . . . . .






Posted Image





Burton was then voted out in a 7 - 1 Tribal Council between Dawson and himself.





Posted Image






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.





Posted Image





And Michelle quickly solved the combination to retrieve the Immunity Necklace . . . . .





Posted Image






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.






Posted Image






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 . . . . .





Posted Image





AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN . . . . .





Posted Image






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.)))






Posted Image






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 . . . . .






Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image






AND A NEW NECKLACE WAS SECURED WHEN . . . . . .





Posted Image






We had a 3 - 2 split vote that night between Chad & Michelle that sent a surprised Chad to the Jury House.





Posted Image







"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 :


Posted Image




* S O L U T I O N :


Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image






AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON . . . . . .





Posted Image






Michelle was not in attendance that night, so she was easily voted out next to join the Jury.





Posted Image






~ 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."





Posted Image

Posted Image



Posted Image

Posted Image



Posted Image

Posted Image




AFTER A HALF-HOUR ERROR-FREE FROM EACH OF THEM, WE SHORTENED
OUR POSTING DEADLINE TO THIRTY SECONDS UNTIL EVENTUALLY . . . . .





Posted Image






* * * The final player to join the Jury House was Flicka
who was widely considered a threat to win the title. * * *







Posted Image












Now, here we are . . . . . .







We are down to our FINAL TWO.










~ J A Y . . . .



Posted Image








~ B R E N D A N . . . .



Posted Image








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 . . . . .
