After 36 gruelling days on Hawaii, we have finally reached the end. Our Final 3 took their seats at Final Tribal Council, ready to plead their cases and explain why they deserved to become the very first Sole Survivor of Skinnisha Survivor. Final 3: Malibu, October and Jane They were joined by all eight members of the jury, each ready to question the finalists one final time before casting their votes. The Jury: @Ghutch, xcharliex, Nick, mattychamps, @Sprite, Lover, Amanda and the most recently voted out, muribolt Each finalist began the Final Tribal Council by making their case to the jury. Malibu opened with a guided meditation to help the jurors “come to the right decision” before giving her actual speech. She argued that she had played a largely honest game. While she admitted struggling through the first half, she said her position improved dramatically after the merge and that from around the Final 10 onwards, the votes increasingly went the way she wanted. October argued that his quieter game was intentional. He focused on strong relationships, adaptability and using bigger players as shields before becoming more aggressive late in the game. He highlighted surviving the loss of several close allies, helping flip Malibu, blindsiding Lover and targeting Amanda and muribolt as major threats. He finished with 14 Tribal Councils attended, two Individual Immunity wins and only one vote cast against him all season. Jane arrived with an entire 12-page case study. She argued that her game was built around relationships, loyalty and reading people, while still being willing to take risks when necessary. She highlighted refusing the public @Sprite vote, helping eliminate Nick, turning against Amanda and surviving as the last member of the Jane/Sprite/Lover trio. She also stressed that, despite working closely with Lover and @Sprite, she had still made her own decisions. After the speeches, the jury began asking questions, and for the most part there were surprisingly few hard feelings. Lover still had unfinished business with October, though, even offering to be “extremely inclined” to vote for Harry if he promised this would be his final long-term Discord ORG. Harry pushed back, defending his social game and arguing that Ryan had simply failed to build a relationship with him. Meanwhile, Amanda made it very clear that Jane would not be receiving her vote, while openly praising Malibu and October. With the speeches finished and the jury questions underway, the battle for the final votes had officially begun. After hours of questioning, speeches and emotional reflection, the jury finally cast their votes for a winner. It was then time to bring everyone back for the SKINNISHA SURVIVOR SEASON 2 REUNION! The hosts, Skinnisha, stunned in full glam, ready to crown their first ever winner.. live in HAWAII! First, we welcomed back our iconic pre-jury: goldelli, IceBeast, Airi, Sin, Jordan, Zee_, Brxanne, cullenistehbest, starrydash and @Intuition. Then, we welcomed our very important jurors, all glammed up for the occasion: @Ghutch, xcharliex, Nick, mattychamps, @Sprite, Lover, Amanda and muribolt And finally, we welcomed back our Final 3: Jane, October and Malibu Skineesh wasted no time. It was time to read the votes. The first vote was for Malibu, the second vote was for @Harry and the third vote was for Jane. The votes then went back and forth between Malibu and @Harry, until the count reached 3-3 with one vote left. Skineesh flipped the final vote. The vote was revealed.... CONGRATULATIONS MALIBU! Malibu had won Skinnisha Survivor - Season 2: Hawaii by a final vote of 4 - 3 - 1. After the final vote was revealed, Malibu was completely stunned. She had gone into the result convinced that October was going to take the win, and could barely believe that the jury had ultimately chosen her. The jury were overwhelmingly happy for Malibu, while Harry was equally gracious in defeat, praising her game and saying he was glad the British Invasion had managed to run the endgame together. Jane was also given plenty of credit by the jury for playing a strong game and making it all the way to the Final 3. Despite falling short of the crown, she thanked the hosts and Production for the experience and for an unforgettable 36 days. And with that... CONGRATULATIONS MALIBU! After 36 gruelling days, countless blindsides, idols, arguments and surprises... YOU ARE THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF SKINNISHA SURVIVOR: HAWAII. After the crowning, we moved swiftly onto the SKINNISHA HAWAII AWARDS!

After 36 days, countless blindsides, unexpected twists, emotional exits, chaotic fights, unexpected friendships, the Hawaiian Coast has finally claimed its final victim. Honestly, coming into our second season, myself and skinny definitely felt a lot more prepared this time around. Season 1 taught us just how much time, effort and energy goes into hosting, so having that experience behind us made everything feel a lot smoother. We knew a little more about what we were doing this time (emphasis on a little), and I think that allowed us to have so much more fun with the season and with all of you. And genuinely, this cast made it SO much fun to host. Watching all the alliances form, plans completely fall apart, blindsides happen, people fight and somehow become friends again five minutes later gave us endless entertainment behind the scenes. There were so many moments where we were just sitting there watching everything unfold and wondering how the hell you guys had managed to create this much chaos. More than anything, though, it's been really nice seeing the friendships that have come out of this season. Obviously Survivor is Survivor, and things can get heated when everyone is playing to win, but seeing people able to separate the game from everything else and actually come out of it with new friendships is probably one of the most rewarding parts of hosting. A massive thank you as well to everyone who helped us with production throughout the season, especially Ven, Marwane, Connor and lolicapolica. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes to keep this game running, and we genuinely couldn't have done it without all the help we received along the way. And of course, thank you to every single person who played. Whether you lasted one round or made it all the way to the end, every single one of you contributed something to this season and helped make Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii what it was. Thank you for putting your time into the game, embracing all of our ridiculous challenges and twists, and giving us another season full of chaos, laughter and memorable moments. Season 2 has officially come to an end, but this definitely isn't the end of #SKINNISHASurvivor. Skinnisha out. ❤️

Following Amanda’s elimination, the remaining four could barely believe they were actually the Final 4. Malibu called them “the funniest F4” and admitted she didn’t think anyone would have predicted this exact group making it to the end. muribolt agreed, pointing out that she had once voted Malibu, barely spoke to October early on, and had a rocky relationship with Jane. Jane, meanwhile, joked that this had totally been her Final 4 “from the jump”, before immediately admitting she probably should have trusted her gut about muribolt. With the final immunity challenge approaching, everyone started studying the season’s history and trying to coordinate a live time. Malibu had an additional problem: real life. She told Production that her boyfriend Richard might not get her home in time, adding that “he wants me to be voted out.” When the challenge time was finally locked in, Malibu gave an even more worrying update: “I will be drunk.” Production suggested non-alcoholic wine. Malibu’s response: “Never.” And as if preparing for the Final 4 immunity challenge wasn’t chaotic enough, Malibu revealed she first had to help take the children around with Richard, proudly declaring herself: “STEP MOTHER OF THE YEAR.” With 34 days behind them, one live challenge ahead, and Malibu apparently balancing Survivor, alcohol and motherhood all at once... The Final 4 prepared for one last fight for Immunity. After 35 days of blindsides, idols, betrayals and chaos, the Final 4 were tested on how well they actually remembered the season they had just played. Across 20 live trivia questions, the first person to answer correctly earned a point. The castaway with the most points would win Individual Immunity and guarantee themselves a spot in the Final 3. By the later stages of the challenge, October had built a strong lead. Jane tried to close the gap, scoring on questions about the Episode 1 title, Tropical Crossfire, and the scavenger hunt. muribolt picked up points on season details too, while Malibu fought to stay alive, even declaring: “It’s over for wee maz.” October then correctly named the jury in elimination order: Ghutch, Charlie, Nick, Matty, Sprite, Ryan, Amanda. That brought him to 7 points. He was now just one point away from clinching the challenge. On the next question, asking when the first tribe swap happened, Malibu scored with Day 7. But it no longer mattered. With only two questions left, Harry could not be caught. OCTOBER WON FINAL INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY! For the second challenge in a row, Harry had secured himself safety, and this time, it guaranteed him a seat in the Final 3. The celebration was brief, though. Production immediately announced that Tribal Council was happening right now. For Jane, Malibu and muribolt, there was no time left to scramble. One of them was about to become the eighth and final member of the jury. At Tribal Council 18, the jury returned with @AmandaSings04 joining them as the most recently eliminated player. October was safe after winning the Final 4 Individual Immunity Challenge, leaving Jane, Malibu and muribolt vulnerable. The mood was tense, but there October still time for a few jokes about the jury looking especially glamorous that night, including Harry noticing it was the first time he had seen Amanda without her stick. Then the votes were read. Muri. Jane. Muri. That made it 2 votes Muri, 1 vote Jane. The final vote... muribolt. By a vote of 3–1, muribolt became the eighteenth person voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii and the eighth and final member of the jury. The reaction was immediate. muribolt screamed in horror, Production declared that “Brazil is not happy,” and the rest of the Final 4 quickly reassured her that she had played an incredible game. Muri took the elimination gracefully, thanking Production and saying she had known this outcome was possible. Most importantly, she made one thing clear: “I’m not bitter and my vote is going to who played the best game.” muribolt, you gave us one of the wildest journeys of the entire season. You lied, flipped, betrayed, found yourself in countless arguments, somehow survived round after round and managed to have fun in the process. You were unpredictable until the very end, and Hawaii would not have been the same without you and we appreciated having you here. But for tonight... THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN. And with muribolt joining the jury... WE HAVE OUR FINAL 3. October. Jane. Malibu. After 35 days, 18 eliminations and an unbelievable amount of chaos, these three will now face the jury one final time. CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING THE FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL.

Following Lover’s elimination, Jane immediately unloaded on the rest of the Final 5, congratulating Amanda, blasting muribolt for betraying her, and telling October she believed he was only still there because nobody saw him as a threat. She did not address Malibu at all. That sparked a long argument between Jane and Harry over whether Harry had actually made moves of his own or simply stayed quiet and let bigger players fall around him. October defended his game, arguing that deliberately avoiding becoming a threat was exactly why he had survived. Jane eventually backed off, admitting Harry was lovely personally, she just found his gameplay frustrating. Amanda also joined the conversation by questioning Jane’s gameplay. Afterwards, Amanda stated that she and Jane might be doomed against a possible October@/Malibu/muribolt endgame, before reminding herself of one thing: “Make sure you have fun because once you stop having fun then it’s not fun anymore.” And with the Final 5 now fully exposed, there was nowhere left to hide. They immediately moved into their next Individual Immunity Challenge: This challenge remained a mystery until each player chose to begin. Once started, the castaways were given 16 quotes, each pulled from the confessionals of an eliminated player. Their job was to correctly match each quote to the castaway who originally said it. The player with the most correct answers would win Individual Immunity and guarantee themselves a spot in the Final 4. The quotes were revealed one by one: “Apparently I should have voted myself more for the challenge. I will take all the villain awards. Pretty sure my threat level increased the most. We move on.” Answer: mattychamps “I can’t believe Nalu just went straight for us in the challenge I think they didn’t want to go back to tribal with Uila again but I’m not sure.” Answer: Jordan “im surrounded by clowns.” Answer: IceBeast “Canttttt believe this whole damn cast told her their real color and they still trust that bitch!” Answer: xcharliex “I was bored and I did a bad thing. This game is going to break my psyche.” Answer: Sin “Imma try making Ghutch my island man.” Answer: Brxanne “I find both Matty and Charlie to be insufferable. I can not stand this smarmy ‘i hold all the cards you’re just silly’ attitude they both have.” Answer: @Sprite “i've gotten to breathe for 5 rounds in a row sweetie. i don't think people are planning for a loss. i might be getting a little too comfortable ijbol.” Answer: cullenistehbest “I am going to try and get to know everyone on my tribe first and go from there but like I said before, Sprite is going to be my target to vote out as soon as I get the chance.” Answer: goldelli “THIS IS ALL MY FAULT. THIS IS ALL MY FAULT. like im legit dumb as hell.” Answer: Lover “I am in a position where I do not need to control per se. But I do need outcomes to be in my favour and if I need to do some work to make that happen... then I will!” Answer: Nick “Seeing Jordan voted off kinda sinked my hope that this game is happening right now and not long before it started. It means quite a lot, it means that pre game relationships exist quite a lot and they are determining of big part of what is going in the game.” Answer: Zee_ “why do all the f*cking people i want to work with wanna go for each other, are we serious.” Answer: starrydash “Harry died or he's ignoring me. And he better be fucking dead.” Answer: Airi “Bryan leaving removes a lot of stress from my game. He was an early game number for me... however, I'm not in his close inner circle, and even those who are often get backstabbed by his hyper-fixated gameplay.” Answer: @Intuition “Either im leading tonight’s vote on Charlie or i will look like an idiot with my pants down. There’s no in between.” Answer: @Ghutch As the answers were revealed, October gradually pulled ahead. Going into Quote 15, Harry had 10 points and was in position to win the challenge. He correctly identified @Intuition. That made him mathematically unbeatable. OCTOBER WON INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY! The final scores were: October - 11 Jane - 10 Amanda - 9 muribolt - 8 Malibu - 6 For the first time this season, October had won Individual Immunity - and with it, a guaranteed spot in the Final 4. At Tribal Council, the Final 5 welcomed @Ghutch, xcharliex, Nick, mattychamps, @Sprite and Lover back as the growing jury. Amanda opened up the deliberations and when she admitted she felt like her game might finally be over. On the other hand, Jane openly acknowledged she had very few allies left and was likely targeting either Amanda or muribolt and that she would not be engaging in any non game related conversations any longer. Then came the final chance to play any idols or advantages. muribolt stood up. With the completed split idol in hand, she announced: “I don’t need it but I’m not taking any souvenirs home.” She played the Hidden Immunity Idol on herself. It was valid. Any votes cast for muribolt would not count. The votes were then revealed: Muri - does not count. Amanda. Jane. Amanda. That left Amanda with two votes, Jane with one, and one vote remaining. The final vote... AMANDA. By a vote of 3–1, with one vote against muribolt nullified, Amanda became the seventeenth person voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii and the seventh member of the jury. Amanda left with plenty to say, praising muribolt and Malibu, taking a few final shots at Jane and xcharliex, and insisting that October and Jane were drawing dead at Final Tribal. Production summed up Amanda's run perfectly: “When you think of Skinnisha Survivor Season 2: Hawaii, you think of Amanda.” Amanda, you were one of the defining personalities of this entire season. You were loud, strategic, chaotic, emotional, funny and never afraid to make your opinions known. From your arguments and betrayals to back-to-back Individual Immunity wins, you gave us so much throughout this game. This season would have not been the same without you Amanda. And a personal message from Tisha - Amanda, I am truly so incredibly proud of you. I truly thought you would not take this seriously, but watching you and seeing who you are now is so beautiful to me, in and out. I'm so blessed to know the new you that you've transformed into. You made it incredibly far, and you should be proud of the mark you left on Hawaii. But for now… THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN. And with Amanda joining the jury... CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FINAL FOUR. October. Jane. Malibu. muribolt. After everything this season has thrown at them, only four remain. Get some rest. The end is almost here.

Following @Sprite’s elimination, the Final 6 barely had time to process what had happened. Jane immediately let the tribe know exactly how she felt about them, while muribolt joked that Jane and Ryan were now the bullies. The biggest strategic question, however, was what had happened to Sprite’s supposed half of the split immunity idol, something Production refused to clarify publicly. Production announced they were going full steam ahead toward the finale, the end was in sight for our Final 6. For their next Individual Immunity Challenge, the Final 6 had to identify pairs of castaways blended together in morphed photos. Some morphs included: - @Intuition and Sin - October and Malibu - Jordan and IceBeast Every wrong answer added a one-minute penalty, and the fastest overall time would win Immunity and a guaranteed place in the Final 5. muribolt struggled, finishing sixth with 30:21 after 20 penalties. Jane placed fifth with 10:23. October finished fourth in 2:19, while Malibu took third in 2:04. That left Lover and @AmandaSings04. Only 20 seconds separated them. But with a time of just... 1 MINUTE, 15 SECONDS... AMANDA WON INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY! For the second round in a row, Amanda had guaranteed herself safety. At Tribal Council, the jury returned with @Sprite joining @Ghutch, xcharliex, Nick and mattychamps. Publicly, almost nothing was said. Amanda simply announced that her parchment was submitted already, and it was for Jane. Then, shortly before the votes were read, muribolt stood up. She revealed that Jane had given her Sprite’s half of the split idol, meaning Muri now possessed the completed idol. Jane had apparently trusted muribolt to use it. Muri had other plans. Invoking Sprite’s repeated warnings that “Muri Bolt was not to be trusted,” Muri apologized to Jane and announced that she would be keeping the idol for the next Tribal Council. No advantages or idols were played...... Jane braced herself for the worst. But once again, the votes went somewhere completely unexpected. Jane. Malibu. Malibu. And out of nowhere… Lover. Lover. That left the vote at 2 Malibu, 2 Ryan, 1 Jane. The final vote was turned... LOVER. By a vote of 3–2–1, Ryan became the sixteenth person voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii and the sixth member of the jury. The result stunned almost everyone. Amanda claimed she had thought Jane was leaving, while Jane revealed that she and Lover had targeted Malibu. Malibu, meanwhile, insisted Amanda had not even known about the plan to take Ryan out. Ryan took the blindside with some humour, admitting he had felt something was off and joking that eliminating him was a terrible move because he considered himself such a goat. He saved one final shot for October, but wished everyone else good luck and promised not to be a bitter juror. Lover, you played a great game. You found idols, built relationships across the season and were never afraid to shake things up when you thought the game needed it. From saving Sprite not once but twice to fighting your way through some incredibly messy rounds, you left a huge mark on Hawaii. While your game may be over, your role in the season isn’t as you are the sixth member of the jury. Only five castaways remain. The finale is getting closer, the jury is filling up, and there is almost nowhere left to hide.

Following mattychamps blindside, camp opened with a much lighter revelation: @Sprite had apparently spent most of the season thinking October was somebody else entirely. The mood quickly shifted back to strategy, though, when muribolt asked Amanda whether she blamed her for how the last vote unfolded. Amanda’s answer was simple: “Completely, Muri.” Muri accepted the blame, while Sprite pointed out that their side had been “dead in the water” until the Nick vote opened the door for the numbers to shift. For once, Sprite was thrilled to be on the benefiting end of what she called: “Muribolt Treachery.” With Matty gone and Muri’s loyalties once again under scrutiny, the Final 7 entered the next round with the power structure completely shaken up. But there was no time to rest, as the Final 7 were sent straight into their next Individual Immunity Challenge: This time, the castaways had to prove how well they understood the real cost of living in Hawaii. Across 40 different products, players had just 10 seconds each to estimate the real Hawaii retail price. The closer the guess, the more points they earned, with 40 points available in total. The Price of Paradise - Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii Thanks to the amazing Ven for setting this one up! The results were: muribolt finished seventh with 15.5. Malibu followed with 17, while @Sprite narrowly beat her with 17.5. October placed fourth with 20.5. That left Jane, Lover and @AmandaSings04. Jane scored 21.5. Ryan also scored 21.5. But one person had pulled comfortably ahead. With 25.5 points out of 40... @AMANDASINGS04 WON INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY! Amanda had guaranteed herself safety and a place in the Final 6. At Tribal Council, the Final 7 welcomed @Ghutch, xcharliex, Nick and mattychamps back as the growing jury. But before the vote could fully settle, Production announced a brand-new Hidden Immunity Idol hunt: ROLL THE DICE Each castaway could roll three six-sided dice up to 100 times, then lock in either a HIGH or LOW score. The highest HIGH and lowest LOW would secretly advance to the next stage. Everyone rushed to start rolling. For a while, nobody said a word. Then @AmandaSings04 broke the silence and revealed that the two players who had advanced were apparently: @Sprite and muribolt. The pair then expressed that the advantage was a split idol, immediately forcing the season’s most chaotic rivalry to cooperate. Sprite summed it up perfectly: “There is no rivalry/frenemy quite on the level of SpritiBolt.” Meanwhile, October publicly tried to clear up an old mystery with @Sprite over whether she had really targeted him back at the first merge vote. Sprite maintained that she didn’t believe she had. Amanda also began openly discussing possible targets, throwing out Jane, Lover and @Sprite for different reasons. And somewhere in the middle of all this, Malibu informed everyone she had apparently encountered a homeless person during her stay in Hawaii, before her gig on the island. Then it was time to vote. Before the reveal, muribolt delivered one final message: “Fuck you Sprite, fuck you Jane, fuck you Malibu and especially fuck you Ryan.” Nobody stood up to play an idol. The votes came in: Harry. Sprite. Muri. Sprite. Muri. Sprite. That made it 3 Sprite, 2 Muri, 1 Harry. The seventh and final vote...@Sprite. By a vote of 4–2–1, Sprite became the fifteenth person voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii and the fifth member of the jury. The reaction was immediate. Jane was stunned. Muribolt told Lover he was evil. Ryan revealed he had been the lone October vote. Muri then made the stakes of the blindside even clearer: “Now I have an idol with full power.” Sprite expressed her final words, admitting she had been completely blindsided and especially surprised to have been betrayed by Lover and Malibu, who allegedly sat at the top of her trust rankings for several rounds. Still, she left proud of making 7th out of 21, joking that she would now almost certainly hold the record for most Tribal Councils attended for a very long time. After surviving countless votes, two successful idol saves, multiple public wars and one of the season’s defining rivalries, the queen of Tribal had finally left the game. @Sprite, you had to endure so much throughout this game. From constant Tribal Councils and blindsides to arguments, idols, rivalries and some genuinely exhausting rounds, your journey was anything but easy. Despite all the ups and downs, we hope you still managed to have fun along the way. You always brought something to the season, whether it was strategy, chaos, or just making everyone laugh when things got ridiculous. We love you Spritey <3 SIX CASTAWAYS REMAIN. THE STAKES ARE HIGHER THAN EVER! Follow the season here: https://discord.gg/ugcwkffBS #SkinnishaS2

Following Nick’s elimination, Jane immediately confronted @AmandaSings04 for flipping sides and voting against her despite making a Final 2 the day before. Amanda defended the move as idol management, while Jane accused her of lying unnecessarily and playing both sides. @Sprite quickly joined in, reigniting her own feud with Amanda and openly admitting she had stayed in the game partly for the chance to damage Amanda’s position. The argument became personal again, but Amanda brushed it off and instead celebrated reaching the Final 8. When Jane pressed her on who her true priorities were, Amanda finally answered: “Me and mattychamps.” She then launched into a victory lap for surviving to the Final 8, though she also warned muribolt that her latest move may have left her dangerously exposed going forward. But there was absolutely no time to rest, as the Final 8 were sent straight into their next Individual Immunity Challenge: At Skinnisha’s Tiki Bar, players would repeatedly face off over two cocktails, one safe and one poisoned. The player serving knew which was which, while their opponent had to decide whether to keep or swap their drink. Two doses of poison meant elimination, and the last castaway standing would win Immunity. What followed was a long night of bluffing, betrayal and several extremely questionable drinking decisions: October vs Lover: Harry handed Ryan the Blue Hawaii. Ryan trusted him and kept it, correctly. Harry drank the poison and took his first strike. mattychamps vs Malibu: Malibu kept the Mai Tai Matty gave her. The Mai Tai was poisoned, giving Malibu her first strike. muribolt vs @Sprite: Muri handed Sprite the Waikiki Sunset, but Sprite naturally became suspicious of Muri and she swapped. Unfortunately, Pineapple Passion was poisoned, giving Sprite her first strike. Jane vs Amanda: Jane kept Mango Lei while Amanda took Ocean Breeze. Mango Lei was poisoned, giving Jane her first strike. Malibu vs mattychamps II: Malibu kept Coconut Cove and Matty stuck with Hibiscus Storm. Hibiscus Storm was poisoned, giving Matty his first strike. Amanda vs Lover: Amanda tried very hard to signal that Ryan should keep Sunset Guava, only for Ryan to swap anyway. Pearl Lagoon was poisoned, giving Ryan his first strike while Amanda could only watch in disbelief. Another double showdown soon left muribolt with her first strike and @Sprite with her second, making Sprite the first player eliminated from the challenge. Jane vs Amanda II: Amanda’s commitment to blue drinks finally betrayed her. She swapped into Aloha Splash, which was poisoned, giving her strike number one. Lover vs mattychamps: Ryan kept Papaya Paradise while Matty drank Midnight Reef. Midnight Reef was poisoned, eliminating Matty with his second strike. October vs muribolt: Muri questioned Harry, distrusted him and swapped into Tidal Bloom. Good call, Coral Cascade was poisoned, eliminating Harry. Malibu vs Amanda: Malibu cleverly used Amanda’s well-documented love of blue drinks against her. Amanda drank Golden Hula, which turned out to be poisoned, eliminating Amanda. muribolt vs Lover: Muri insisted Seafoam Kiss was safe. Ryan didn’t believe her and swapped into Orchid Blaze. For once, distrust paid off: Seafoam Kiss was poisoned, eliminating Muri. Jane vs Malibu: Jane tried to convince Malibu that Volcano Pearl was poisoned. Malibu refused to swap. Coconut Drift was actually poisoned, eliminating Jane. That left just two: LOVER VS MALIBU Ryan handed Malibu the Maui Ember, and Malibu chose to trust him and keep it. Ryan was left with the Lagoon Whisper. The poisoned cocktail was... LAGOON WHISPER. Which meant Malibu had survived the Tiki Bar and secured herself a place in the Final 7, earning her second immunity win. At Tribal Council, the Final 8 walked in expecting chaos. @Ghutch, xcharliex and Nick were introduced as members of the jury. With Malibu immune, the tribe appeared completely split 4–4, and talk quickly turned to the possibility of a deadlock and rocks. Then Jane dropped a truthbomb, accusing @AmandaSings04 of constantly playing the middle and warning the rest of the tribe that Amanda would jump ship the second somebody prioritized another ally over her. Amanda barely denied it, openly saying that if her game happened to fall in the middle, then so be it. She listed Lover, Malibu, mattychamps and October as the people she still trusted, before essentially daring Jane to vote her out. It was now time to vote. Before the votes were read, however, Lover stood up once again. For the second time this season, Ryan played a Hidden Immunity Idol on @Sprite. It was the exact move that had saved her at the first merge vote and now, once again, her fate rested entirely on whether the majority had written her name down. When the votes were finally read, the answer became very clear. The first four votes were all for Sprite... and none of them counted. For the second time, Ryan had successfully idoled Sprite. Suddenly, the entire vote collapsed onto one person. mattychamps.. Matty. Matty. And with the seventh vote... MATTYCHAMPS. By a vote of 4–0, with four votes against Sprite nullified, Matty became the fourteenth person voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii and the fourth member of the jury. Sprite celebrated the move as one she had been calling for since premerge, declaring that Matty had been running the game for weeks. Matty took the blindside well, joking that the cast had given him grey hairs and leaving with his jury vote completely open: “My jury vote is definitely up for grabs for anyone.” Just like that, one of the biggest power players of the season was gone. mattychamps, you were one of the biggest presences of the entire season. From the alliances, arguments and power struggles to constantly finding yourself at the centre of the game, you gave us so much throughout Hawaii. It was genuinely a pleasure having the iconic Matty Champs here, and you will absolutely be missed. FINAL 7. There is nowhere left to hide. Every vote matters, every relationship is being tested, and at this point nobody is truly safe. Who will survive the next round, and who will become the fifth member of the jury?

Following xcharliex’s elimination, camp immediately exploded again. @Sprite accused muribolt of lying for yet another round, calling her one of the snakiest players left and briefly teasing another “SpriteSplosion.” Her frustrations then spilled into an argument with @AmandaSings04 over their history as allies, with Sprite saying she never signed up for a dictatorship while Amanda argued she had never been one of Sprite’s true priorities anyway. Meanwhile, Nick and Lover reignited their own feud. Nick accused Ryan of being fake and betraying him, while Ryan openly admitted he would have voted for Nick had he submitted a ballot, saying Charlie was his ally and Nick was “annoying.” The argument quickly became personal, ending with Nick warning: “A friend to all is a friend to none.” With Muri, Amanda, Sprite, Nick and Ryan all publicly clashing, the Final 9 were already fractured before the next round had even properly begun. The Final 9 then headed into their next Individual Immunity Challenge: Across five rounds, players were shown images packed with leis and had just 30 seconds each time to estimate how many appeared. Every lei they were off by added a penalty point, while taking longer than 30 seconds added even harsher point penalties (50 extra points). Lover was unable to compete due to his strike from the previous round. The challenge stayed close throughout, with Muribolt briefly taking the lead and October and Nick both hurting themselves with time penalties. When all five rounds were complete, the final standings came down to @Sprite and mattychamps. Sprite finished with 34 penalty points. Matty finished with just 31. mattychamps WON INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY! For the second time in three rounds, Matty had secured safety, guaranteeing himself a spot in the Final 8. Tribal Council began with mattychamps safe, and @Ghutch and xcharliex returning as the first two members of the jury. Lover immediately tried to force some transparency by asking everyone to publicly name one or two people they wanted gone. He named October and Nick, calling Harry boring and too loyal to Matty, while describing Nick as obnoxious. Harry pushed back, saying Ryan had made no effort to know him and had no right to comment on his character. Nick also fired back, telling Ryan to “touch grass,” while muribolt joined the game by naming @Sprite and Malibu as players he wanted out. Then things completely fell apart. @Sprite announced that she was mentally exhausted, had wanted to quit for several rounds, and was done strategising. She asked the tribe to vote her out, saying the game was no longer fun for her. That spiralled into another explosive argument with @AmandaSings04 over their broken alliance and past votes. Sprite accused Amanda of trying to control decisions, while Amanda insisted Sprite had never truly prioritized her either. Eventually, Sprite clarified that she would not quit out of respect for Production and the eliminated players, but still asked everyone to give her ninth place. mattychamps suggested they simply agree to vote Sprite out publicly, but Jane refused to skip Tribal, so everyone returned to the voting booth. When the votes were read, however, Sprite’s name never appeared. Instead, the vote bounced entirely between Jane and Nick. Jane. Nick. Jane. Nick. Until the count reached: 4–4. The ninth and final vote... NICK. Blindsided by a vote of 5–4, Nick became the thirteenth person voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii and the third member of the jury. Nick admitted the game had felt like an uphill climb, but left with one final bombshell: The Nalu Idol has allegedly been in his possession. When Skinnisha asked Nick for his final words, he also seemed genuinely surprised, and a little hurt, that October had apparently voted against him, reacting: “Oh Harry?!” With Nick now joining the jury, only eight castaways remained. Nick, you played such a strong game. We genuinely thought you had what it took to take this all the way, and you were such a light presence throughout the season. From your humour to your music to the energy you brought to the cast, you made your mark on Hawaii and will definitely be missed. But now.. FINAL 8. The jury is growing, the numbers are shrinking, and every decision matters more than ever. Who will be the next person voted out? Find out next time on Skinnisha Survivor!

Following @Ghutch’s elimination, the Colours of Aloha idol hunt immediately caused more chaos. xcharliex, frustrated that players kept approaching him for information and blaming him for blocking their progress, decided to publicly reveal his true colour: Emerald. Charlie explained that he was tired of being treated like the reason nobody could solve the idol and wanted to level the playing field. If everyone wanted the advantage that badly, they could now try to find it themselves. The announcement stunned several players, especially Malibu, who had submitted her idol guess only 30 minutes earlier. With another confirmed colour now public, the race for the Aloha Idol became even tighter. The game then moved into the fourth Individual Immunity Challenge of the season: The remaining castaways had 25 minutes to compete across six different minigames, each testing a completely different skill: @Venny’s Boombox - identify musical artists. Connor’s Count - count up and back down without getting greedy. (Tisha) Beni’s Flag Frenzy - identify as many flags as possible. Skinny’s Torch Dash - a classic Skinnisha flash challenge. @Admir’s Element Hunt - navigate the periodic table. Marwane’s Lineup - a classic Find Me challenge. Shoutout to Ven for making this golden gem of a challenge! Feel free to try it out here: https://skinnisha-practice-comps.netlify.app/skinnisha-games.html Players could try all six events, but before submitting they had to choose the four events they wanted to officially compete in. Each event awarded medals, with Gold worth 5 points, Silver worth 3 and Bronze worth 1. The castaway with the highest combined medal score across their four selected events would win Individual Immunity, with total challenge time acting as the tiebreaker. With six completely different skills being tested, the challenge became less about dominating one event and more about knowing exactly where your strengths were. The Hawaii Olympics quickly became a celebration of Skinnisha history. Venny’s Boombox featured appearances from several pop divas, including ChloeKay, Malibu and even rosemulet. Beni’s Flag Frenzy had the castaways reminiscing about how much they missed Flags and demanding Sin bring it back. Meanwhile, Skinny’s Torch Dash featured a cameo from the iconic HeatherLeigh. Then it was time for the medals. October took Gold in Skinny’s Torch Dash Nick won Admir’s Element Hunt Lover dominated Beni’s Flag Frenzy @AmandaSings04 claimed Gold in Venny’s Boombox Jane won Marwane’s Lineup. Going into the final event, the scoreboard was incredibly close, with xcharliex, October, Jane, muribolt and Lover all sitting on six medal points or fewer. Everything came down to Connor’s Count. Only two players had qualified: Jane and Lover. Jane finished with 101 points. Ryan finished with 158. Which meant, with 11 total medal points... LOVER WON INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY! Jane finished close behind with 9, while Charlie, October and Muri tied on 6. For the second straight round, one of the biggest names in the game had secured safety before Tribal Council. Tribal Council itself was unusually quiet. @Ghutch was introduced as the first jury member. He still was wearing his mask at all costs, serving Luigi Mangione on the hunt glamour. Aside from some friendly banter, almost no strategy was discussed publicly, all of the real scrambling had happened behind the scenes. Before the votes were read, however, Production had some alarming news.. Lover had failed to submit a vote. Ryan received a strike, would be unable to compete in the next Immunity Challenge, and only nine votes would be counted, which could have affected the votes massively. The vote quickly became a showdown between xcharliex and Nick. Four of the first five votes landed on Charlie who came with some harsh words from his tribe mates Afterwards, Nick began catching up. The count eventually reached 4–4, leaving everything down to the final parchment. The ninth and final vote was revealed… xcharliex. By a vote of 5–4, Charlie became the twelfth castaway voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii and the second member of the jury. Charlie immediately turned his anger toward Ryan for not voting, revealing that the pair had spent hours on call together and that Ryan had learned Charlie’s real colour before encouraging him to lie about it publicly. Charlie also claimed Ryan was holding an idol. Although he traded a few final shots with mattychamps, Charlie made it clear that Ryan was the person he truly blamed for his exit. Malibu in the meantime was confused as to why there were only 9 votes cast. Before leaving, Charlie wished most of the tribe good luck, announced he was rooting for @AmandaSings04 and “Team Loyal,” and left Ryan with one final exemption. With Charlie gone, nine castaways remain. xcharliex - thank you so much for playing legend! We are honoured you came out of your Kovaze retirement to play our game. You had a tough road throughout this game but you never stopped fighting and we hope you had fun regardless of the outcome! You will help us crown a winner on finale night! The castaways had officially reached single digits. It truly is anyone’s game now and it will be a matter of time until the claws start coming out moving forward.

After Intu’s elimination, Aloha returned to camp with tensions still high. xcharliex immediately aired his frustrations, feeling betrayed by several of the people he had been trying to work with. He called out Lover for hiding both his idol and the previous vote from him, and @Sprite for leaving him out after Charlie had campaigned hard to save her at the first merge vote. He also warned Jane to beat the allegations that she was playing somebody else’s game, before simply telling @AmandaSings04: “Have fun in jury.” Amanda defended her decision to secretly vote Intu, explaining that she believed splitting the votes was necessary in case his alleged idol was real and that telling people beforehand risked the plan leaking back to him. Charlie remained frustrated, admitting that after choosing between Ryan and Intu at the revote, he now felt like he had “chosen wrong.” With trust fractured once again, Aloha headed into the next round with Charlie officially done looking stupid for other people. Skinnisha then revealed that a brand-new Aloha Hidden Immunity Idol had entered the game, but finding it would require more than searching the shelter. In Colors of Aloha, each of the eleven remaining castaways had secretly been assigned a unique color. Once per episode, players could submit a complete guess matching every other castaway to their color, with Production revealing only how many answers were correct. The first person to correctly identify every remaining color would win the idol. Immediately, the hunt became a social experiment. Several players offered simple color-for-color trades, but there was no guarantee anybody was actually telling the truth. @Ghutch took a completely different approach. With his position already feeling vulnerable, he publicly announced that his color was lilac, promising it was truthful and pitching himself as a useful number and a “free agent looking to work for the veteran's minimum.” Meanwhile, @AmandaSings04 had apparently been busy collecting information. After receiving the results of her first attempt, she stormed into camp with one question: “WHICH TWO OF YOU LIED TO ME ABOUT YOUR COLOR????” Amanda publicly confirmed her own color was fuchsia and invited whichever two people had allegedly deceived her to kindly report to her office. The idol hunt had barely begun, and already nobody knew which information they could trust. The castaways then headed into their third Individual Immunity Challenge: Aloha, Where Are You? For this challenge, each player was given a scavenger hunt containing 15 locations or objects they needed to find using Google Maps and Street View. Every discovery required both photographic evidence and the correct Maps location, with the player finding the most items winning Immunity. In the event of a tie, the fastest time would win. And apparently, geography was not everybody's strongest subject. October scored 0/15, somehow exploring England when Production had sent him to Hawaii, while @AmandaSings04 took an unexpected vacation to Delaware and Indonesia, still managing an impressive 12/15. @Ghutch finished with 4, muribolt with 5, while Lover and xcharliex each found 11. Amanda finished fifth with 12, before @Sprite and Nick narrowly missed perfection with 14/15 each. Malibu wasn’t able to find all the items, but she provided us with some iconic commentary during the challenge and she also realised Hawaii was in fact, not a country. That left only Jane and mattychamps, who had both managed a perfect 15/15. It all came down to time. Jane completed her hunt in 2 hours, 53 minutes and 3 seconds. She managed to find a chicken next to a local KFC store, how poetic! But with a winning time of 2 hours, 41 minutes and 49 seconds MATTYCHAMPS WON INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY! After being publicly exposed as one of the game's biggest power players only days earlier, Matty had guaranteed himself safety and a spot in the Final 10. The players then headed to Tribal Council, and unlike the explosive chaos of the previous round, things initially remained eerily quiet. That was until @Sprite decided to make an announcement. With very little information for the Colors of Aloha idol hunt, Sprite revealed she had sacrificed her one guess for the round purely to fact-check @Ghutch's public claim that his color was Lilac. She submitted Ghutch as Lilac and deliberately guessed Brown for everybody else. The result? 0/10 correct. Ghutch had lied. Sprite immediately exposed him to the entire tribe, joking that he had failed to account for the fact that she was crazy enough to completely waste an idol attempt just to catch somebody in a lie. @AmandaSings04 was stunned, before adding even more fuel to the fire by questioning other duplicate colors she'd been given and publicly calling out xcharliex over another potentially fake color. With the idol hunt now creating even more distrust across Aloha, it was time to vote. The first four parchments alternated between @Ghutch and @Sprite, leaving the vote tied 2-2. But from there, the direction became painfully clear. Ghutch. Ghutch. Ghutch. And with the eighth parchment... @Ghutch. By a vote of 9-2, @Ghutch became the eleventh person voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii and, more importantly, the FIRST MEMBER OF THE JURY! As the votes piled against him, Sprite couldn't resist turning toward an immune mattychamps, whose close relationship with Ghutch had only recently been exposed. "Not going particularly well for you huh." Adding one final layer of comedy to the blindside, one castaway had even written Ghutch's name down in Lilac commemorating the lie that had helped bury his game. Ghutch wasn't around to give his final words immediately, but later left Aloha with one final confession: He assured everyone that nothing was personal and promised to keep Ponderosa warm for whoever joined him next. And with that, the jury phase had officially begun. 10 castaways remain. @Ghutch - thank you so much for playing! You were someone who was flying pretty well under the radar, unfortunately the idol color strategy may have been your downfall at the end. We hope you had fun! Sprite had willingly burned an entire idol guess just to expose Ghutch. Matty had lost one of his closest perceived allies. The Colors of Aloha hunt had already become riddled with lies. And for the first time this season, every person voted out from here would have a say in who ultimately wins the game. The endgame has officially begun. Who will be the next casualty?

Following the explosive first vote of the merge, Camp Aloha immediately erupted. @Sprite wasted no time making good on her promise to “light this bitch up.” After surviving eight votes thanks to Lover’s idol, Sprite began publicly exposing what she had heard throughout the previous round. She called out muribolt for repeatedly lying to her and accused mattychamps of having far more influence over the game than people were willing to admit. Sprite also revealed that several names had been discussed before the vote eventually landed on her, including Malibu, @ghutch and @Intuition. The argument quickly spread across the tribe. Lover and Jane pushed back against the narrative that they, Sprite and Ryan were an inseparable group, arguing that being constantly labelled as one had effectively forced them to work together. Ryan explained that being left out of an eight person majority vote gave him every reason to use his idol on Sprite. Matty disagreed, claiming Ryan, Jane and Sprite would always protect one another and that they were gaining too much power. Ryan responded by exposing several alliances Matty had created or suggested throughout the game, while Sprite continued to accuse Muri of playing both sides and hiding behind Matty. By the end of the fallout, Sprite made one thing very clear: She could forgive most of the people who had voted for her. She was not forgiving the Brazilian Dragon, Muribolt. Camp Aloha had officially become anything but peaceful. There was little time for the tribe to recover before heading into their next Individual Immunity Challenge: Each castaway privately answered 15 questions twice. First, they gave their own honest opinion. Then, they had to predict which player they believed would receive the majority answer from the tribe. Every correct majority prediction earned one point. The questions ranged from who was too comfortable, the biggest snake, and the easiest to manipulate, to who would create the biggest power shift, become the messiest juror, or completely bomb Final Tribal Council. The results revealed plenty about how Aloha viewed one another. mattychamps was seen as the biggest snake, one of the players most likely to betray an ally and the person everyone was pretending to trust. Malibu was unanimously voted as having the worst read on the game, and was also seen as the easiest to manipulate and most likely to struggle at Final Tribal Council. @Sprite was named as the player who had made the most unnecessary enemies, the potential messiest juror, and the person whose elimination would cause the biggest power shift. Full Results: But only one thing mattered: Who had predicted the tribe the best? With 11 correct answers... JANE WON INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY! Jane would be completely safe at the next Tribal Council. The players arrived at Tribal Council with tensions already high. @AmandaSings04 xcharliex October @ghutch @Intuition Jane Malibu mattychamps muribolt Nick Lover @Sprite Before the vote could fully begin, @Sprite asked if she could address the tribe. She then shared evidence suggesting that mattychamps and @ghutch had been hiding how close they truly were. Sprite pointed towards several previous Kovaze games where Matty and Ghutch had worked together and repeatedly reached the Final 2, arguing that their relationship was far more established than most of Aloha had realised. Matty denied that this was some secret relationship, arguing that playing games together since May was not comparable to Sprite and Ryan’s six-year friendship. Sprite and Ryan pushed back. Their argument was simple: Everybody already knew about their friendship. Matty and Ghutch had been hiding theirs. Later, Ghutch responded to the accusations. He admitted that he had worked with Matty in previous games but pointed out that he had also worked with Sprite before. He then revealed that, despite Sprite publicly exposing his connection with Matty, she had privately approached him afterwards and told him that she still wanted to work with him and was primarily trying to place a target on Matty. The lines continued to blur. A brief break from the chaos followed, as the castaways celebrated Production member @venharim’s birthday. Nick even recorded a beautiful original song confessing his love for Tisha. Then it was back to business. Heading into the vote, several names had been discussed. From the outside, @ghutch appeared to be the most obvious target due to his increasing inactivity and the new speculation surrounding his relationship with Matty. Before the votes were read, Skinnisha asked whether anybody wished to play an idol or advantage. To the surprise of almost everybody... Malibu stood up. After being unanimously labelled as having the worst read on the game during Touchy Subjects, Malibu suddenly revealed that she had found a Hidden Immunity Idol and decided to play it on herself. The tribe looked on in shock as Malibu handed it over to Skinnisha. The idol was valid. Any votes cast against Malibu would not count. There was only one problem. Nobody had voted for her. Malibu had successfully protected herself from absolutely nothing, but after spending much of the season being left out of votes and labelled clueless by the tribe, nobody could deny that she had just surprised everyone. Skinnisha began reading the votes. The first parchment: @ghutch. The second: @ghutch. It appeared the expected plan may have been happening. Then the third vote was revealed. @Intuition. And another. @Intuition. And another. @Intuition. And another. Suddenly, Intu had four votes. Then the parchments began landing on Lover. One. Two. Three. Four. The count reached: 4–4–2. Only two votes remained. The next parchment: Lover. The final vote: @Intuition. Which meant... WE HAD A TIE. LIVE TRIBAL COUNCIL RE-VOTE With Ryan and Intu tied, all private chats and alliance channels were immediately locked. The revote would happen publicly. Every conversation had to take place publicly at Tribal Council, with each castaway only allowed one private whisper. And almost immediately... Chaos. Ryan revealed that @Intuition was believed to be holding the Nalu Hidden Immunity Idol, begging the tribe not to waste the opportunity to remove both Intu and the advantage. @AmandaSings04 backed up the claim, revealing that Intu had previously told her he possessed it. Intu admitted he had told Amanda that. But claimed it was a bluff. According to Intu, he had only pretended to possess the idol in an attempt to keep his name away from previous votes. Ryan refused to believe him. Amanda argued that even if Intu did not actually have the idol, the fact that he could continue bluffing one made him dangerous. Intu instead turned the argument onto Ryan. He warned the tribe that Ryan’s relationships, persuasion and willingness to publicly promise safety made him the more dangerous player to keep. Matty openly declared that he would not vote Intu and accused Ryan and Sprite of gaining too much control over the game. Ryan fired back, repeatedly insisting that he and Sprite were nowhere near as close as everybody claimed. Caught in the middle was muribolt. Muri admitted she did not want either player to leave and even suggested allowing the vote to tie again and sending the tribe to rocks. This prompted Malibu to ask a very important question: “So why would anyone else leave?” It quickly became apparent that Malibu had absolutely no idea what going to rocks meant. @AmandaSings04 and the rest of the tribe explained that if the vote tied again, Ryan and Intu would become safe, along with Jane due to Immunity, and everybody else would risk being randomly eliminated. Malibu processed the information: “Ooh fun.” Moments later, she admitted:“kinda hope it ties again.” Meanwhile, Nick confronted Ryan over feeling ignored throughout the day despite believing the pair had formed a genuine connection during the previous round. Ryan desperately attempted to explain that he had simply been busy and had not intentionally excluded Nick. Both Ryan and Intu continued fighting for their lives. The entire tribe was forced to choose a side. Eventually, the revotes were submitted. The Revote: Skinnisha began reading the parchments. The votes bounced back and forth. Lover. @Intuition. Lover. @Intuition. Until the count reached: 4–4. Only two votes remained. The ninth parchment... @Intuition. And the tenth... @INTUITION. By a vote of 6–4, @Intuition became the next castaway voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii. After surviving multiple rounds of speculation surrounding his supposed idol, the bluff or perhaps the paranoia surrounding it had finally caught up with him. Intu stood from his seat and approached Skinnisha to have his torch snuffed. @Intuition, thank you so much for playing! You brought plenty of mystery to Hawaii and constantly kept people questioning where you stood, what information you had and whether you were secretly holding an idol. You survived swaps, undertows, chaotic Tribal Councils and plenty of accusations along the way! We hope this is not the end of your Skinnisha story. ELEVEN CASTAWAYS REMAIN With the merge already completely fractured... Who can actually trust who? And who will become the next member of Aloha to have their torch snuffed?

Following cullenistehbest's emotional exit, Skinnisha gathered all of the remaining players along the Hawaiian shore. There had been plenty of speculation about when the merge would arrive. Some castaways believed it could happen now, while others were convinced they still had at least one more round left on their tribes. However, after 16 days and eight eliminations, it was officially time for all tribal lines to disappear. The remaining 13 castaways had reached… THE MERGE! For the first time this season, everybody would live together as members of one tribe: ALOHA @AmandaSings04 xcharliex October @ghutch @Intuition Jane Malibu mattychamps muribolt Nick Lover @Sprite starrydash The castaways congratulated one another on reaching the merge and began catching up with players they had spent several rounds separated from. It did not take long before conversations turned towards some of the Tribal Councils they had missed. @Sprite immediately questioned how @Brxan had been eliminated, knowing there was absolutely no chance Bryan had left Hawaii without putting up a fight. starrydash filled everybody in on the chaos before Sprite asked the most important question: Had an idol been involved in taking Miss Brxanne out? mattychamps stepped forward and revealed that he had, in fact, played his Hidden Immunity Idol at the vote. And completely wasted it. Bryan already had enough votes to leave regardless. Several former Ahi members were stunned to learn that Matty had been sitting on an idol. Meanwhile, Nick reflected on the most recent Ahi Tribal Council and learned that 16 year old cullenistehbest had attempted to orchestrate a blindside before leaving. Memories of ASBB3 immediately came flooding back, as Nick reflected on the trauma of Tisha’s very own daughter @Kallie taking him out in an entirely different franchise. Fortunately, there were more important things to celebrate. Skinnisha presented the newly formed Aloha tribe with the traditional Merge Feast! The castaways ate, celebrated reaching the next stage of the game and enjoyed finally being together as one tribe. There was plenty of laughter. Plenty of food. And perhaps, for a few observant castaways… A few clues pointing towards the location of another Hidden Immunity Idol! With full stomachs and potentially some new information, the castaways were immediately introduced to their first Individual Immunity Challenge of the season: HAWAIIAN HAVOC! Over the next 24 hours, Skinnisha would unexpectedly post one of three commands: WAVE! , ERUPTION! or LEI! Each command carried a different consequence. WAVE! The first castaway to correctly respond: “I wave PLAYER” would eliminate that player from the challenge. ERUPTION! The first two castaways to correctly respond: “I erupt PLAYER” would each eliminate somebody. LEI! The first castaway to respond: “I claim the lei” would secretly gift a lei to another player. That lei would protect its recipient from the next elimination, mistake or trap that would otherwise remove them from the challenge. There was one final catch. Skinnisha could post fake commands such as: WAIVE! or LIE! Anybody who responded to one of these traps would instead eliminate themselves. The challenge began. R1: WAVE! - Malibu eliminated muribolt R2: LEI! - Malibu claimed a Lei and gave it to @Sprite R3: WAVE! - Malibu eliminated mattychamps R4: ERUPTION! - @AmandaSings04 eliminated xcharliex and Malibu eliminated Nick R5: LEI! - Lover claimed a Lei and gave it to Malibu R6: WAVE! - Jane eliminated starrydash R7: WAVE - Jane eliminated herself by responding to a typo. R8: WAVE! - Amanda eliminated herself by not responding with the correct phrase. R9: WAVE! @Intuition eliminated October R10: WAVE! @Intuition eliminated Lover R11: WAVE! Malibu eliminated @ghutch R12: WAVE! Malibu eliminated @Intuition R13: WAVE - Malibu responded to a typo'd wave, but she had a lei to protect herself. R14: WAVE! - Malibu tried to eliminate @Sprite, however Sprite had a secret lei. With one final round of Malibu vs Sprite... Malibu struck again. This time, Sprite had no protection left. And with that… MALIBU WON INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY! After personally eliminating a large portion of the competition, Malibu was ecstatic to secure her safety at the first merged Tribal Council. Some of the players she had knocked out appeared slightly less enthusiastic. With the challenge over, the castaways returned to camp and gathered together to wish xcharliex a very happy birthday while finishing what remained of the Merge Feast. However, the celebrations were soon interrupted by something suspicious. The shelter suddenly became extremely noisy.... With a Hidden Immunity Idol believed to be somewhere around camp, the players who were not involved in whatever was happening inside began questioning whether they were missing something important. By the time the Aloha tribe arrived at Tribal Council, paranoia was already spreading. All 13 castaways took their seats. @AmandaSings04 opened the discussion after Skinnisha asked whether previous tribal lines would influence the first merge vote. Amanda made her position clear. Spending a few days wearing a different coloured buff would have absolutely no impact on who she intended to vote for tonight. mattychamps explained that his decision would instead be based around setting himself up for the future and moving forward with people he genuinely trusted. starrydash disagreed. Skinnisha Survivor was a fluid game. For Starry, tonight should be about removing the most immediate threat. Publicly, Tribal Council then became relatively quiet. Privately? Almost everybody was being discussed. Names bounced between conversations as different combinations were proposed, rejected and reconsidered. At one point or another, virtually every castaway appeared to be on the table. Eventually, however, one plan began gaining significant momentum. And only around ten minutes before voting, @Sprite finally discovered the truth. A major blindside had been organised against her. There was almost no time left to campaign. Unfortunately, @Sprite had spent part of the round sneaking into Production’s tent to play Cyberpunk 2077, which had not exactly helped her keep track of the vote. Her fate appeared sealed. With the votes submitted, Skinnisha asked whether anybody wished to play a Hidden Immunity Idol or advantage. Sprite did not stand. Instead, she announced that this would be an absolutely awful way for her to leave the game. And if she was going out tonight… She was going to light this bitch up on the way out. Nobody would be safe. Sprite immediately pointed towards muribolt and warned the rest of the tribe that anybody trusting Muri going forward would be extremely stupid. As Sprite continued calling people out, the cameras shifted towards Lover. He sat looking around at the other players with an uncomfortable smile. His legs were shaking. His lip was trembling. Seconds remained before the idol window closed. Then… Lover stood up. He apologised to the tribe and admitted that he had to do this. Lover walked towards Skinnisha and handed over a Hidden Immunity Idol. But he was not playing it for himself...... I’M PLAYING THIS FOR @SPRITE The tribe erupted. As Lover returned to his seat, he looked directly towards @Intuition and told him: “Fuck you. Go home.” Several players immediately expected Intu to respond by playing an idol of his own. Intuition remained completely still. No reaction. No panic. Nothing. Meanwhile, Jane and @Sprite jumped for joy as they realised the plan against Sprite was about to collapse. Sprite began crying, repeatedly thanking Lover for saving her. But she also reminded everybody: She was still lighting the game up after Tribal Council. Skinnisha began reading the parchments. The first vote: @Sprite. Does not count. The second: @Sprite. Does not count. Then another. And another. Parchment after parchment revealed the same name. Eight votes for Sprite. Every single one… DID NOT COUNT. Sprite laughed towards the players who had attempted to blindside her. Their plan had completely failed. But now came the part everybody had been waiting for. Only five valid votes remained. Who had received them? The ninth parchment was revealed... xcharliex The tenth: starrydash. Then another vote for Starry. And another. As the remaining parchments were revealed, the horrifying reality became clear. The idol had not only saved Sprite. It had sent somebody else out of the game. STARRYDASH HAD BEEN IDOLED OUT. Starry had become the ninth castaway eliminated from Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii. @Sprite and Lover immediately apologised. The pair admitted that because everything had happened so late, they had not properly coordinated what the backup vote should be. Had Sprite not been busy playing Cyberpunk 2077, she revealed that the target would actually have been... mattychamps. Much to mattychamps laughter. Instead, Starry had become the casualty. Starry stood from her seat with tears in her eyes as several players looked genuinely shocked and upset to see her leaving the Hawaiian shores. She approached Skinnisha with her torch. When asked for her final words, Starry had this to say: starrydash, you were an absolute pleasure to watch and kept Production thoroughly entertained from Day 1. The passion you brought to this season was genuinely a joy to see, and we are so sad that your journey ended here. We would have loved to see you reach the jury, and you absolutely deserved the opportunity. We hope this is not the end of Starry’s Skinnisha legacy. Keep your phone on. We love you, Starry! TWELVE CASTAWAYS REMAIN. The merge has officially begun. Lover has pulled off the first successful idol play of the season. Starry has been idoled out just a couple placements before the jury. Sprite promised she was going to light this game up. Now she has survived the blindside and has an entire tribe to answer to. How will Sprite retaliate? What damage has Lover’s idol play done to the new majority? And with only one elimination standing between the remaining players and the jury… Who will become the final castaway to fall short?

Following @Brxan’s explosive departure, Nalu returned to camp with plenty of fallout to deal with. Malibu was once again frustrated after discovering she had been lied to and completely excluded from the vote. Despite believing she had relationships she could rely on, another Tribal Council had passed where everyone seemed to know the plan except her. mattychamps was dealing with a different frustration. His Hidden Immunity Idol had successfully cancelled two votes, but ultimately had not been necessary to save him. With his idol now gone, Matty was disappointed that he had wasted one of the most valuable advantages in the game. Unfortunately, there was absolutely no time to rest. The tribes were immediately brought to their next Tribal Immunity Challenge: REEF RUNNERS For today’s challenge, four members from each tribe would compete in a live board crossing battle. The objective was simple: get all four members of your tribe from one side of the board to the other! The first tribe to successfully get all four players across would win Tribal Immunity. Representing Ahi: @AmandaSings04, cullenistehbest, Jane and Ryan. Representing Nalu: xcharliex, @Intuition, mattychamps and Nick. The tribes would alternate turns, moving one player at a time across the board. However, opposing players could block one another’s paths. If somebody wanted to move through a square occupied by an opponent, they would have to challenge them to a 1v1 duel. Production would post an arrow sequence alongside instructions. The first player to correctly complete the sequence would win the duel. If the challenger won, they advanced and sent their opponent back to the beginning. If the blocker won, the challenger was sent all the way back instead. This meant one failed duel could completely erase somebody’s progress. And Production was about to learn just how long that could make a challenge last.... it was two hours of hell. Around 20 minutes into Reef Runners, @Intuition became the first castaway to successfully cross the board, putting Nalu ahead 1–0. Shortly afterwards, Jane crossed for Ahi. 1–1. At this point, Production assumed the challenge would be wrapping up relatively quickly. We were so wrong. What followed was everybody’s worst nightmare. Nobody could get through. Players would make it almost entirely across the board, reach what appeared to be their final duel... And flop. Straight back to the beginning. Again. And again. And again. Nick became particularly frustrated, repeatedly insisting that he had completed duels first on his Motorola 3700 screen, while Production and the rest of the castaways stared in confusion as it appeared fairly clear that he had not. Meanwhile, @AmandaSings04 became increasingly vocal about allowing people a moment to catch their breath between duels, particularly as Ahi began smoking Matty and Nick in several of the head-to-head battles. Nalu did, however, have one secret weapon: xcharliex Charlie had established himself as one of the strongest duel competitors and made it very clear to his tribemates that sending him across too early would be a terrible idea. As long as he remained on the board, he could continue blocking Ahi and protecting Nalu’s chances. Around an hour and a half into the challenge, Ahi finally made another breakthrough. cullenistehbest successfully crossed. AHI 2 – 1 NALU. Surely the end was approaching. It was not. The challenge continued until mattychamps eventually fought his way across for Nalu. 2–2. And then the worst possible thing happened. DISCORD CRASHED! The endless arrow sequences, duels and chaos had apparently broken the matrix. Panic immediately spread as Skinnisha attempted to figure out how an already painfully long live challenge could possibly continue with Discord refusing to cooperate. But Skinnisha Survivor is a fluid game. So Reef Runners moved to the Kovaze Blogs Game. Unfortunately, Nick’s Motorola had apparently followed him there and he was unable to properly use the arrow controls required for the duels. Production adapted once again. For the remainder of the challenge, the castaways would compete using counting duels instead. Eventually, Ryan managed to break through for Ahi. AHI 3 – 2 NALU. Only one person remained for Ahi: @AmandaSings04. Nalu still needed both Nick and Charlie across, and after another series of battles, Nick finally made it through. 3–3. After more than two hours of Reef Runners, everything came down to one final showdown: @Amandasings04 VS xCharliex One duel would effectively decide which tribe escaped Tribal Council. After approximately two and a half hours of challenge hell… xcharliex took it home. NALU WON IMMUNITY! What had begun as a relatively simple board crossing challenge had somehow become an emotional endurance competition that killed Discord, forced Production onto another website and nearly destroyed several friendships in the process. But by the end, Nalu were safe. And Ahi were heading to Tribal Council. After the chaos of Reef Runners, Ahi arrived at Tribal Council exhausted. muribolt Jane Amanda @Sprite Lover Cullenistehbest October Publicly, there was very little discussion. Behind the scenes, however, plenty was happening. Following Matty’s idol play at the previous Tribal Council and the ongoing paranoia surrounding advantages in Hawaii, nobody wanted to settle on a plan without considering what could happen if an idol appeared. Multiple names and backup plans were discussed, but u ltimately, one player increasingly emerged as the easiest option: cullenistehbest. Despite performing well enough in Reef Runners to score one of Ahi’s points, Cullen had struggled to fully integrate himself socially with the rest of his new tribe. With nobody particularly eager to disrupt the vote, Cullen became the casualty. Unbeknownst to him, the majority of his tribemates had agreed on his name. Cullen had actually entered Tribal Council hoping to create a very different outcome. His original plan was to organise a blindside against @AmandaSings04, but he was unable to gain enough traction to make the move happen. When Skinnisha asked whether anybody had an idol or advantage they wished to play… Nobody stood. The votes were read. Parchment after parchment revealed the same name: cullenistehbest. Cullen’s lone vote landed on muribolt. And with that, Cullen became the eighth castaway voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii. Cullen was disappointed to discover that his tribemates had spent the day lying to him about where the vote was heading, although they explained that much of the deception had been driven by fear that an idol could disrupt the plan. Despite his disappointment, Cullen remained gracious, thanking everyone for the opportunity and wishing the remaining castaways good luck. When asked for his final words, Cullen had this to say: cullenistehbest, thank you so much for playing! You brought plenty of energy to Hawaii and proved yourself to be a fierce competitor, especially during the challenges. Although your attempted Amanda blindside never managed to take off, you certainly weren't planning to leave the game without trying something. We hope this isn't the last we see of you! THIRTEEN CASTAWAYS REMAIN After two tribe swaps, eight eliminations, countless blindsides, one idol play, a mysterious missing idol and enough Tribal Councils to permanently traumatise @Sprite… The tribal phase of the game was finally coming to an end. Because the next time the castaways arrived at the beach, there would no longer be Ahi and Nalu. THE MERGE IS HERE. Old tribal lines are about to disappear, former allies will reunite and enemies who have spent weeks separated will finally share the same beach. Who will take control of the game? And who will become the first victim of the merge? Find out next time on Skinnisha Survivor! Follow the season here: https://discord.gg/ugcwkffBS

After Zee_'s departure, both Ahi and Nalu didn't have much time to mourn, as Skinnisha revealed that for the second time this season, it was time to... DROP! YOUR! BUFFS! We were switching tribes once again. However, with an odd number of 15 players, the players soon learned that the last person chosen would instead head to Exile. They would not compete in the Immunity Challenge and would instead join the losing tribe’s Tribal Council later on. Following the undertow twist, they would be completely immune, get to cast a vote and then become a permanent member of the losing tribe. The person sent to Exile was... @ghutch! Now, by random draw, let's take a look at our new tribes! NEW AHI: @AmandaSings04 cullenistehbest October Jane muribolt Lover @Sprite NEW NALU: @Brxan xcharliex @Intuition Malibu mattychamps Nick starrydash On Ahi's new camp, everyone seemed pleased with their tribe... Except for muribolt, who looked to her left to see Hawaii's curse... @Sprite. Knowing Sprite had attended six back to back Tribal Councils, Ahi suddenly began second guessing their chances of winning Immunity. @Sprite pleaded with her new tribe to finally help her secure her first challenge win. Over on Nalu, the reception was similarly positive. They were excited to see so many strong competitors together and expected to perform well in upcoming challenges. xcharliex was particularly thrilled to finally escape the cursed Ahi tribe. We then headed straight into our next Immunity Challenge... Pieces of Paradise! Both tribes would be completing the same 400 piece jigsaw puzzle. The tribe that completed the puzzle in the fastest time would win Tribal Immunity! Tribe Ahi all agreed to show up for a time cullenistehbest proposed, only for Cullen to later reveal that he could no longer participate. October showed up to the challenge an entire hour early, not realising what timezone it was in the country he has lived in since he was born. And the rest of Ahi decided to be late for their starting time! Despite the messiness, @AmandaSings04, October, Jane, Lover and @Sprite were eventually ready to begin. However, they were concerned that their star puzzle player, muribolt, had also failed to show up. All players were in position as Skinnisha began the countdown. Then, just in time... muribolt appeared and immediately locked in for the challenge, much to the excitement of her tribemates. During the challenge, most of Ahi were completely focused and silent, with @AmandaSings04 and Jane providing helpful tips for certain pieces and sections of the puzzle. Muri quickly made up for her late arrival too, ultimately contributing 108 pieces to Ahi’s completed puzzle. AHI IN ACTION: Tribe Nalu decided to take a slightly different approach. They thought it would be a great idea to start the day bright and early, completing their challenge at 9AM. All of Nalu turned up to the beach with coffees in hand, ready to compete. Unlike Ahi, Nalu were extremely organised and had no issues showing up on time, with all seven players present. However, upon beginning, @Intuition decided this competition was not for him and dipped. Much like Ahi, the remaining members of Nalu stayed focused on completing the puzzle and gave each other tips along the way. NALU IN ACTION: (Malibu did accidentally leave resetting her score) Coming to the results, there was only a difference of 3 minutes and 21 seconds between both tribes. The winners of Immunity are... AHI!!!! With a time of 36 minutes and 27 seconds, followed by Nalu's 39 minutes and 48 seconds. @Sprite dropped to the floor in tears as her tribemates surrounded her and picked her back up, celebrating her first Immunity win after 14 days in Hawaii. The curse had finally been broken. After the win, Ahi returned to camp for a much needed night away from Tribal Council. The tribe took the opportunity to open up to one another, sharing a more vulnerable bonding moment that helped bring several members closer together. As for Nalu, they headed to Tribal Council, where somebody would become the seventh person voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii. Nalu took their seats as @ghutch arrived shortly afterwards, knowing that he was now officially a member of Tribe Nalu. Shortly into Tribal Council, starrydash expressed that he felt like his name could be coming up after publicly targeting certain players in the past. mattychamps looked over, confused, and asked: “Who is it that you have actually targeted publicly?” - Starry did not answer. As whispers began spreading, Matty made a public hint that he could potentially be holding an idol and warned @Brxan to choose a new target. In fact, Matty had already spent part of Tribal Council casually wearing his Hidden Immunity Idol around his neck, insisting that he was not going to play it and simply wanted to “wear it to feel good.” Bryan exclaimed that he had absolutely no idea what Matty was talking about and criticised Matty’s gameplay, especially his previous attempt to target Bryan over Airi, who was not even present in Hawaii. @Brxan eventually began to realise that his time in Hawaii could genuinely be coming to an end. And if that was the case, he was not going quietly. It was time to blow the game wide open. Bryan first turned his attention towards @Intuition, claiming Intu had told mattychamps and xcharliex that he wanted to target Bryan this round. Intuition denied the accusation. Next in line was starrydash, who Bryan claimed had been going around making it clear that he disliked Bryan and wanted to vote him out. Starry also denied the claims. Finally, xcharliex was thrown into the firing line for apparently agreeing with other tribe members that Bryan should leave tonight. Charlie remained silent. mattychamps tried getting to the bottom of who had actually given Bryan this information. Bryan refused to reveal his source to players who were actively attempting to get him out. He remained firm in his story, declaring: “Brxanne may tell a joke, but never a lie.” Matty and Bryan continued going back and forth until Skinnisha announced that it was time to read the votes. When asked if anyone wanted to play an Idol, Bryan instead took the opportunity to reveal that he knew he was probably going home tonight and would give the tribe his wrath on the way out. Suddenly, Matty stood up. starrydash, Nick and @Intuition's jaws dropped. Matty turned towards Skinnisha and said: “Well Skinnisha, I'm probably wasting this, but I don't trust some of these people... I'm playing my Idol on myself.” Any votes cast against him would not count. The first parchment read: mattychamps. Does not count. The second: mattychamps. Does not count. Then, parchment after parchment, the name that appeared was none other than Miss @Brxan herself. Six votes had been cast against Bryan. Malibu turned to her tribemates once again and exclaimed that she had been left out of another vote. Bryan looked towards her and told her: “Malibu, these people do not give a fuck.” Bryan may have officially been eliminated, but he was not done causing chaos. As he prepared to leave, he continued calling out players and throwing more information into the open, including further claims surrounding xcharliex, starrydash and @Intuition. Charlie denied Bryan’s accusations and the pair exchanged some final words as Tribal Council descended into one last argument. Nick eventually summed up Bryan’s exit perfectly: “Going out like an icon. She gives us TV.” When asked for Bryan's final words, he had this to say: @Brxan, you were a force to be reckoned with out here in Hawaii. You gave us drama, gameplay and entertainment while remaining authentically yourself throughout the season. You had a part in one of the first blindsides of Season 2 and found yourself fighting to stay in this game almost every round. Even when you knew your time could be up, you made sure you did not leave or give up quietly. We love you, Bryan! Thank you so much for playing. Fourteen Castaways Remain! @Sprite has finally broken the curse. @GHutch has officially joined Nalu. mattychamps Hidden Immunity Idol is gone. Malibu has once again been left outside of the vote. And @Brxan may have left the game... But the mess he created on the way out could only just be beginning. Only one will become the Sole Skinniest Survivor. Who will be the next victim in Hawaii?

Moments after Jordan had been voted out, the remaining members of Ahi returned to camp and hung up their torches after yet another disappointing night at Tribal Council. Malibu immediately turned to her tribemates and thanked everybody for not voting her out. @Sprite then decided to thank everyone as well… despite receiving absolutely no votes. With Ahi now establishing themselves as the disaster tribe of Hawaii, mattychamps attempted to lift morale and encourage everybody to give the next challenge everything they had. Most importantly, they could not allow @Sprite to attend a sixth Tribal Council in a row. Naturally, Malibu decided this motivational speech provided the perfect opportunity to perform her entry for the upcoming Skinnisha Talent Show. She blessed the tribe with a beautiful impression of a seal. Morale was restored! Over on Nalu, @Brxan returned from the undertow to a much warmer reception. His tribemates welcomed him back and eagerly listened as he explained everything that had happened during Ahi’s Tribal Council, including the overwhelming vote that sent Jordan home. @AmandaSings04 praised the energy surrounding the Nalu tribe and encouraged everybody to carry that momentum into the next challenge. At this point, the contrast between the two tribes could not have been clearer. One tribe was winning. The other was performing seal impressions to cope. AHI xcharliex Malibu mattychamps muribolt Lover @Sprite Zee_ NALU @AmandaSings04 @Brxan cullenistehbest @ghutch October @Intuition Jane Nick Starrydash It was time for the sixth Tribal Immunity Challenge of the season: REBUS ON THE REEF! The tribes would compete head to head, sending one castaway forward at a time to represent them. Skinnisha would hold up an image containing a visual puzzle representing a familiar word, saying or phrase. The first player to correctly identify the answer would score a point for their tribe. The first tribe to reach 8 points would win Tribal Immunity! Round 1: mattychamps vs @AmandaSings04 - Amanda struck first for Nalu. NALU 1 – 0 AHI Round 2: @Sprite vs October - Neither player managed to correctly solve the puzzle before time expired. NALU 1 – 0 AHI Round 3 Ryan vs @Intuition - Intu extended Nalu’s lead. NALU 2 – 0 AHI Round 4: Zee_ vs Jane - Jane scored another point for Nalu. NALU 3 – 0 AHI Ahi were already finding themselves in familiar territory. Round 5: xcharliex vs Nick - Charlie finally put Ahi on the board! NALU 3 – 1 AHI Round 6: Malibu vs Starrydash - Starry quickly responded and restored Nalu’s three-point lead. NALU 4 – 1 AHI Round 7: @Sprite vs Jane - Sprite fought back and secured another point for Ahi. NALU 4 – 2 AHI Round 8: xcharliex vs @AmandaSings04 - Amanda scored her second point of the challenge. NALU 5 – 2 AHI Round 9: Malibu vs @Intuition - Intu also secured his second point. NALU 6 – 2 AHI Round 10: mattychamps vs - Nick Matty kept Ahi alive. NALU 6 – 3 AHI Round 11: @Sprite vs @AmandaSings04 - Amanda delivered again, putting Nalu only one point away from victory. NALU 7 – 3 AHI Round 12: xcharliex vs @Intuition - Intu solved the final rebus. And with that… NALU WON IMMUNITY! By a final score of 8–3, Nalu secured their third consecutive challenge victory. Ahi would be heading back to Tribal Council. For the third consecutive round. Here's a few Rebus' our players had to solve: Before the tribes returned to camp, the castaways were reminded that one member of the victorious Nalu tribe would once again be swept away by the undertow and forced to attend Ahi’s Tribal Council. They would remain completely immune but would still have the power to cast a vote. By random selection, this time the current claimed… Jane. Nalu quickly said their goodbyes as Jane disappeared towards Tribal Council. With another victory secured and absolutely no vote to worry about, Nalu turned their attention towards something much more important. THE SKINNISHA TALENT SHOW! The stage was ready. The microphone was plugged in. Nick opened proceedings. After helping Nalu secure three consecutive challenge victories, Nick delivered a powerful and inspirational performance of: “We Are The Champions.” Skinnisha was extremely impressed by Nick’s vocal abilities and felt the song was particularly appropriate considering the current state of the two tribes. Before Nick could enjoy his applause, @AmandaSings04 snatched the microphone from his hands. Amanda performed one of her and Tisha’s personal favourites: “You Can’t Stop The Beat.” Amanda delivered a phenomenal performance as the entire Nalu tribe provided backing choreography. Next came cullenistehbest. Despite his young age, Cullen refused to be intimidated by Ms Sings’ performance and confidently took control of the microphone. He delivered an emotional rendition of: “u me = <3” by Olivia Rodrigo. Nalu were left stunned by his beautiful performance. Finally, Starrydash decided singing was completely unnecessary. Instead, Starry gave the tribe a live demonstration on how to make “Burgers”, hoping to improve everybody’s performance in the Kovaze competition. Skinnisha watched closely and took several notes for their next Arena! The remaining members of Nalu were apparently too shy to participate. Although we are sure they will still eventually blame their lack of screentime on the edit. While Nalu celebrated, Ahi returned to a much more familiar environment: Tribal Council. The tribe arrived defeated, exhausted and visibly drained from attending vote after vote after vote. Nobody felt this more than @Sprite. After losing yet another Immunity Challenge, Sprite finally broke down: “I’ve lost every fucking challenge.” Despite personally performing well throughout the season, Sprite had somehow managed to end up on the losing side every single round. There was only one possible explanation. She had been cursed. Specifically… By The Evil Skinnisha From Hell. Jane then arrived as the immune visitor from Nalu. She sat down.Silently. The rest of Ahi apparently decided this was inspirational and followed her example. For the majority of Tribal Council… Nobody said anything. While the public conversation was nonexistent, behind the scenes the vote was gradually narrowing down to two names: Malibu And… Zee_ The two former Uila members had survived the tribe swap together, and neither particularly wanted to vote against the other. However, with nobody else willing to move and no alternative plan gaining momentum, both began to realise that their hands may have been tied. One of them was likely leaving Hawaii. The lack of movement frustrated both players. They had entered the night hoping another option would emerge. Eventually, it was time to submit the parchments. Once again, speculation surrounded whether somebody would finally reveal a Hidden Immunity Idol. After everything that had happened with #IdolGate, every vote involving a former Uila member carried the same question: Was tonight finally the night? Skinnisha asked whether anybody had something they wished to play. Nobody stood. Again. No idol. Skinnisha began reading the votes. The first parchment: Malibu The next: Zee_ The votes continued alternating between the two until the count reached: 3–3. Only two parchments remained. One of these two castaways was about to leave Hawaii. Skinnisha revealed the seventh vote.... Zee_ And the eighth… Zee_ As written, so it shall be done. By a vote of 5–3, Zee_ became the sixth castaway voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii. Zee stood from his seat and immediately rolled his eyes towards his tribemates. Before leaving, he specifically called out @Sprite, accusing her of being fake and performative towards him throughout their time together. Malibu became emotional as Zee approached her, giving him a hug before he wished her the best of luck moving forward. Zee collected his torch and approached Skinnisha. When asked for his final words, he had this to say: Zee_, thank you so much for playing. After competing with you in SexyTex’s Traitors, I knew I wanted to see you out here in Hawaii, and you certainly did not disappoint. Your game was extremely interesting to watch, and I genuinely wish we could have seen you make it further. Hopefully, this is not the end of your Skinnisha legacy. And please do not forget to send Skinnisha your pictures with Season 1 alumni Fancy. We love you both! Fifteen Castaways Remain! Ahi have now lost three consecutive Immunity Challenges. The whereabouts of Uila’s missing idol remain unknown. And just when the castaways may finally be becoming comfortable with their new tribes… Production has decided they have been comfortable for long enough. Because next time… DROP YOUR BUFFS. For the second tribe swap of the season, the game will be shaken up once more. Who will finally escape the disaster that is Ahi? Who will lose the allies that have kept them safe? And which new combination of players will completely reshape Hawaii? Find out next time on Skinnisha Survivor! Follow the season here: https://discord.gg/ugcwkffBS

Ahi returned to camp after voting out the most dramatic castaway in Hawaii, Sin. Almost immediately, Zee_ began debunking the accusations Sin had made against him before leaving the game. Zee had also received a lone vote at Tribal Council and invited whoever had written his name down to come forward so they could speak openly and resolve the issue. Nobody confessed. After suffering their first loss as a newly formed tribe, Ahi appeared desperate to turn their fortunes around. Jordan attempted to raise morale by hyping up his tribemates and encouraging everybody to focus on winning the next challenge. Unfortunately, much of the tribe did not appear particularly receptive to his motivational speech and remained silent. Over on Nalu, @Intuition returned from the undertow and gathered his tribe together to explain everything that had happened at Ahi’s Tribal Council. Starrydash, cullenistehbest and Nick were shocked to hear how scattered the vote had initially been and which players had received the stray parchments. @AmandaSings04, meanwhile, had fully expected the Tribal Council to provide entertainment. With Sin as the target, she knew there was little chance of him leaving Hawaii quietly. AHI xcharliex Malibu mattychamps muribolt Lover @Sprite Zee_ Jordan NALU @AmandaSings04 @Brxan cullenistehbest @ghutch October @Intuition Jane Nick Starrydash There was little time for either tribe to reflect on the previous vote. Four jeeps suddenly arrived at each camp, ready to transport the castaways to their next Tribal Immunity Challenge: Alaula Trails! Each tribe was required to divide into four pairs. Within every pair, one castaway would become the Driver, while the other would serve as the Navigator. The Driver would control a jeep across the Hawaiian trail while effectively travelling blind. They could not see the full route ahead and were forced to depend entirely on the instructions given by their partner. The Navigator could see the trail, its turns and the hazards placed along the route, but they had no control over the vehicle itself. Each pair entered a voice channel and completed three increasingly difficult rounds together. The route contained numerous obstacles, traps and risky shortcuts. At certain points, Navigators had to decide whether directing their Driver across a hazard was worth the potential reward. Taking one of these routes triggered a maths problem. A correct answer allowed the pair to continue, but an incorrect response added a 30-second penalty to their final time. As the rounds progressed, the Navigators’ screens would also temporarily black out, forcing them to remember the route and continue directing their partner without being able to see the map. For some pairs, this caused only a slight inconvenience. For others, it caused complete disaster. The pairs are listed as Driver and Navigator. AHI Jordan and Malibu muribolt and Zee_ mattychamps and xcharliex @Sprite and Lover NALU cullenistehbest and @Intuition Starrydash and October @AmandaSings04 and Jane @ghutch and @Brxan Some pairs struggled to communicate through the blackouts and hazards, while others charged through the course at full speed. Once every pair had finished, the times were combined to form each tribe’s final score. With a total time of 56 minutes and 1 second… NALU WON IMMUNITY! Ahi finished far behind with a combined time of 68 minutes and 24 seconds. Once again, the new Nalu tribe had secured immunity. And once again, Ahi would be heading to Tribal Council. As the winning tribe celebrated, the castaways were reminded that one member of Nalu would once again be caught in the undertow and carried to the losing tribe’s Tribal Council. The selected player would remain immune but would receive the power to cast a vote alongside Ahi. By random draw, the next castaway dragged into the current was… @Brxan. Nalu waved him goodbye as he departed, with Bryan giving @AmandaSings04 a kiss on the head before being carried away from camp. Ahi arrived at Tribal Council completely defeated after suffering their second consecutive challenge loss. @Sprite expressed her frustration at the fact that she had still not experienced a single Tribal Immunity victory all season. For Malibu, the situation felt even more concerning. After being excluded from every previous vote, Malibu believed the writing was already on the wall. She openly admitted that she felt powerless and invited anybody who believed she could fit into their game to approach her. Then @Brxan entered Tribal Council. Several members of Ahi looked visibly uncomfortable as he took his seat. Only a few rounds earlier, some of these same players had attempted to blindside him during the vote that ultimately eliminated Xakim. Bryan looked directly towards Malibu and offered her some reassurance: “I ain’t voting you, bu.” mattychamps immediately responded by asking Bryan who he intended to vote for instead. Bryan claimed that he would need to think long and hard before making his final decision. However, he then turned the question back onto Matty and asked why he was supposedly voting for Malibu. Matty quickly denied that Malibu was the planned target, attempting to shut down the rumours before they could spread any further. The exchange only created more uncertainty about where the vote was actually heading. muribolt told Skinnisha that she believed she was in danger. However, when asked who was specifically targeting her, she was unable to provide a name. Meanwhile, Zee_ praised @venharim for creating an enjoyable challenge and suggested that players experienced with the mazes on Kovaze may have been better suited to navigating the Alaula Trails. After these brief conversations, Tribal Council fell almost completely silent. Despite the lack of public discussion, the castaways were privately debating which decision would best benefit their games. Some wanted to remove a strategic threat. Some were simply looking for the safest possible vote. Others were focused only on surviving another day in Hawaii. Scrambling continued until the final moments, forcing everybody to eventually commit to a name without knowing exactly where the majority had landed. Once every parchment had been submitted, Skinnisha asked whether anybody had an advantage or Hidden Immunity Idol they wished to play. Once again, nobody stood. No idol was played. Skinnisha revealed the first vote: Jordan. The second vote was for: @Sprite. Then another parchment was turned over. Jordan. And another. Jordan. Vote after vote continued falling onto the same person. By a vote of 8–1, Jordan became the fifth castaway voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii. Jordan appeared stunned as the votes were revealed. He quickly realised that former allies and people he genuinely believed had his back, had unnecessarily reassured and lied to him before unanimously sending him out of the game. Across Tribal Council, Malibu was equally shocked to discover that she had received no votes at all after entering the evening convinced that she would be eliminated. As Jordan stood to leave, several members of Ahi apologised for the way the vote had unfolded. Jordan approached Skinnisha and had his torch snuffed. His final words were: Jordan, thank you so much for playing. You kept the season light-hearted, and it was clear that you were genuinely having a blast throughout your time in Hawaii. Your energy, enthusiasm and laughter will be greatly missed. Hawaii will not be the same without you. For the first time since the tribe swap, Ahi managed to unite behind a single decision. But after another loss, broken promises and a vote that left one castaway completely blindsided, how long can that unity truly last? Will Ahi finally manage to win an Immunity Challenge? Who will be the next castaway dragged through the undertow? And who will become the next person voted out of Hawaii? Find out next time on Skinnisha Survivor!

The island had officially been shaken up once again. The Hawaiian storm had reached its full potential, bringing the era of Joint Tribal Councils to an end. However, that did not mean the skies were beginning to clear...when a storm passes, the landscape it leaves behind rarely looks the same. And neither would the tribes...It was time for the castaways to… DROP YOUR BUFFS! We were switching tribes! The storm had completely wiped out Camp Uila, leaving only Ahi and Nalu standing. The remaining 18 castaways would be randomly divided into two new tribes of nine. New AHI xcharliex Jordan Malibu mattychamps muribolt Lover @Sprite Sin Zee_ New NALU @AmandaSings04 @Brxan cullenistehbest @ghutch October @Intuition Jane Nick Starrydash The castaways arrived at their new camps surrounded by a mixture of former allies, past opponents and people they had barely spoken to. The swap gave everybody an opportunity to form new connections or settle old scores. Over on Ahi, muribolt attempted to break the ice by showing everybody a beautiful picture of his pet guinea pig. The rest of the tribe decided to opt out of introductions entirely and instead stared blankly at their new campmates. A promising start. The atmosphere on Nalu was slightly more energetic. October shared the riveting story of the time he was high and convinced himself that Anne Frank was hiding inside his cupboard. starrydash advised the tribe that, should they ever be unable to locate her, she would most likely be down at the beach listening to music or secretly collecting bubble tea smuggled in by Production. cullenistehbest informed his new tribemates that he was a black belt in taekwondo, which could prove useful should any future challenge require physical combat. And finally, Jane revealed that she had absolutely nothing interesting to share. With introductions complete, or abandoned entirely, the new tribes were immediately thrown into one of Skinnisha Survivor’s most iconic challenges... THE SCAVENGER HUNT! The castaways were given a starting letter and had to locate an item beginning with that letter. The final letter of each item would then determine the starting letter of the next object they needed to find. For example: R - Rope and because rope ends with the letter E, the tribe’s next item would need to begin with E! Simple enough, we thought! The chain would continue for an entire hour, with the tribes attempting to find and photograph as many valid objects as possible. Ahi began the challenge, and Sin looked at his new tribemates in horror upon realising they would be doing this for an entire hour. Here are some highlights from the Ahi tribe: Over on Nalu, @AmandaSings04 and Nick decided that searching around camp simply was not enough. The pair hijacked Production’s vehicles and headed directly towards the nearest shopping centre and Walgreens. Their access to entire buildings filled with conveniently labelled objects quickly proved to be a major advantage! Here are some highlights from the Nalu tribe: Honestly, there's so many more I could share, I could do a whole blog full of them... Both tribes spent much of the hour arguing their cases to Production and attempting to submit different types of signs, objects photographed through windows and items that were supposedly visible somewhere within the frame. Once every disputed submission had been reviewed, the final totals were revealed. With 80 accepted items… NALU WON IMMUNITY! Ahi finished behind them with 70 items and would become the first swapped tribe to attend Tribal Council. However, the castaways were quickly introduced to the next twist left behind by the Hawaiian storm. Although the worst of the storm had passed, it had left behind a dangerous undertow. One randomly selected member of the winning tribe would be dragged away from their camp and sent to attend the losing tribe’s Tribal Council. This player would remain completely immune, but they would also receive the power to cast a vote. By random draw, @Intuition became the first castaway caught in the undertow. Intu was taken away from Nalu and sent to join the nine members of Ahi for Tribal Council. He could not be voted out. But his vote could determine who was. As Tribal Council began, Sin immediately issued a warning. If he heard that anybody was mentioning his name, he would spend the entire round targeting that person and ensure they suffered the same fate as IceBeast. Sin then turned his attention towards muribolt. The tension between the pair stemmed from the controversial finale of Celebrities 8, where Muri had previously accused Sin of rigging the result and claimed that he deserved to win the season. Sin strongly denied the allegations and dismissed them as absurd. Muri responded by claiming that Sin had been on call with Celebrities 8 winner Envious, actively plotting to secure his victory. Sin then declared that Celebrities 8 had been a complete flop and should have ended without a winner. According to Sin, if he could travel back in time, every cast member would finish in 20th place and the entire season would be cancelled. @Sprite slowly turned her head in shock upon realising that she had just been caught in the crossfire, after competing in Celebrities 8. Sin and Muri continued going back and forth, drawing a clear line between themselves and giving the remaining players their first obvious conflict of the new Ahi tribe. After the explosive opening, however, Tribal Council became strangely quiet. Sin had promised to lead the charge against his enemies and several players waited for him to begin sending out names and organising the vote. Instead, they were met with silence. Production soon discovered that Sin had secretly escaped Tribal Council to accompany Tez on an early reward trip to the club. With the deadline approaching and Sin nowhere to be found, several castaways began to see the writing on the wall. After threatening anybody who dared to target him, Sin had seemingly disappeared during the exact period in which he needed to save himself. His time in Hawaii appeared to be coming to an end. Then, just ten minutes before the votes were due… Sinthia returned. Sin announced that he had a beautiful time at the club and was ready to return to Tribal Council. With almost no time remaining, the scrambling finally began. Sin warned the tribe that he possessed an idol and threatened to play it if the votes were coming his way. Suddenly, nobody could be certain whether targeting him was worth the risk. With the votes submitted, Skinnisha asked whether anybody wished to play a Hidden Immunity Idol. The tribe waited. After days of speculation surrounding #IdolGate, many believed this could finally be the moment Uila’s missing idol revealed itself. Sin remained seated. Once again… No idol was played. To everybody’s surprise, the opening votes were scattered across four different castaways: Sin muribolt Malibu Zee_ A second vote then landed on Muri. But every remaining parchment carried the same name: Sin. By a vote of 6–2–1–1, Sinthia became the fourth castaway voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii. The time had come for Sinthia to leave Hawaii and continue searching for the love of his life, courtesy of the Skinnisha Survivor Reward Department. When asked for her final words, Sinthia accused Zee_ of having an idol, which Zee immediately dismissed. Will every play voted out accuse someone of having an idol as they leave the shore? Sin, thank you so much for playing! You genuinely kept all of us entertained through your confessionals, chaotic gameplay and the endless drama you created across the shores of Hawaii. Although your time in Hawaii may have ended, your search for Burger King coupons continues. We cannot wait to hear all of the updates on your food diaries by the time we reach the reunion. Seventeen Castaways Remain. The tribes may have swapped, but the mystery that has shaped the season remains unsolved. Did Sin ever possess Uila’s missing idol? Will the castaways finally put #IdolGate behind them? And who will become the next castaway voted out of Hawaii? Find out next time on Skinnisha Survivor!

Following the first major blindside of the season, the castaways returned to their camps with plenty of questions left unanswered. Some players were confused and suddenly questioning their positions in the game after being completely excluded from the vote. Others were relieved to see such a significant target leave Hawaii before he could gain any more power. And IceBeast's final words also continued to linger over the island. Had Sin secretly possessed Uila’s idol all along and deliberately placed the blame on Will? Was #IdolGate nothing more than an elaborate setup? Or had the castaways still not uncovered the full story? Nobody knew what to believe anymore. AHI @AmandaSings04 xcharliex Jane Jordan mattychamps muribolt starrydash NALU @Brxan October @Intuition Nick @Sprite @Xakim UILA cullenistehbest @ghutch Malibu Lover Sin Zee_ There was little time to investigate Will’s accusations, as the castaways were immediately summoned to their third Tribal Immunity Challenge. For the first time this season, the challenge would take place live. It was time to play Tropical Crossfire Each tribe selected four castaways to enter the crossfire. AHI: @AmandaSings04, xcharliex, mattychamps, muribolt NALU: @Brxan, @Intuition, Nick, October UILA: cullenistehbest, @ghutch, Malibu, Lover The challenge was played across a series of fast paced rounds in which every remaining player had to secretly choose one of three actions: - Shoot an opposing castaway. - Take Cover to protect themselves from incoming fire. - Or Reload their water gun to gain more ammunition. Every action would be revealed simultaneously, forcing the players to predict when their opponents would attack, when they would leave themselves vulnerable and when they would risk wasting a shot. One wrong decision could eliminate a player from the challenge instantly! Each tribe developed its own strategy, but as the rounds continued, players were picked off one by one until only three castaways remained: xcharliex representing Ahi. Nick representing Nalu. And cullenistehbest representing Uila. With immunity on the line, Charlie successfully sniped Nick just before the final round, eliminating Nalu’s last remaining player. However, the attack used Charlie’s final piece of ammunition. Charlie entered the last confrontation completely defenceless, leaving Cullen with a clear shot. cullenistehbest fired. xcharliex was eliminated. And after surviving the Tropical Crossfire… UILA WON IMMUNITY! After the fractures caused by #IdolGate and the blindside of one of their own members, Uila were enormously relieved to finally have a night away from Tribal Council. Ahi and Nalu would instead be heading into the next Joint Tribal Council together. When Ahi and Nalu arrived at Tribal Council, the members of Ahi immediately began questioning their opponents. What had actually happened during the previous vote? How had IceBeast become the target? And how had a Tribal Council centred around Sin, cullenistehbest and a missing idol ended with IceBeast leaving the game? The members of Nalu attempted to explain the chaos, while Ahi listened in disbelief as they learned the full story of #IdolGate, the accusations and the blindside that followed. However, there was soon a much more immediate question on everyone’s lips: Where the hell is Airi? Airi, Xakim, had not contacted any of his tribemates for more than 24 hours. He had also failed to vote during the previous Tribal Council, receiving a self-vote as a result. There had been no communication with his tribe. There had been no communication with Production. Xakim had seemingly disappeared from the islands of Hawaii without explanation. For many of the castaways, this appeared to provide the easiest possible path through the round. With Xakim absent and no indication that he intended to return, both tribes could simply agree to eliminate him and avoid unnecessarily exposing their alliances. For most of Tribal Council, the atmosphere remained relatively calm. But in Skinnisha Survivor, an easy vote is often the perfect opportunity to make a dangerous move, remember, Skinnisha Survivor is a fluid game! With only a few hours remaining before the voting deadline, several players began to question whether they should waste the opportunity by voting out someone who had already vanished. They instead set their sights on a much larger threat: @Brxan. With most of the castaways barely gaming during what appeared to be a straightforward round, a plan began forming to send Bryan out of Hawaii completely unaware. The only question was whether the plan had enough support to succeed. Before reading the votes, Skinnisha asked whether anybody wished to play a Hidden Immunity Idol. A few castaways nervously looked towards the empty space where Xakim should have been sitting. Was his disappearance real? Or had he somehow been faking his absence, waiting to return at the final moment and pull off one of the most ridiculous idol plays in Skinnisha history? The castaways waited. Nobody stood. No idol was played. Skinnisha began reading the votes. The first parchment was for… Airi. Then another. Vote after vote continued landing on Xakim, seemingly confirming that the Tribal Council would end exactly as expected. Xakim received six votes, including another self-vote for failing to submit a parchment. Skinnisha flipped the seventh vote...... @Brxan. Then another vote appeared for Bryan. And another. As the parchments continued to be revealed, the mood at Tribal Council completely changed. The members of Nalu looked across in horror as they realised that Ahi may have been playing them the entire time. The vote reached a tie: Six votes Airi Six votes @Brxan. Only one parchment remained. Skinnisha revealed the final parchment… Airi. By a vote of 7–6, Xakim became the third castaway voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii. For the sake of Production’s sanity, the final vote had landed exactly where it needed to. Xakim had repeatedly reassured Production that he was completely committed to the season, extremely active and more than ready to play. After confirming this approximately five separate times, he then vanished without explanation. He may have had the potential to go far in the game. Unfortunately, we will never know. There will be no torch snuffing picture. He would have needed to show up to Tribal Councils to receive one. 18 Castaways Remain. The attempted blindside may have failed, but the votes have exposed that the game is far from united. With alliances, rivalries and suspicions spreading across all three beaches, the castaways are about to face their biggest disruption yet. For the first time this season... We are switching tribes. Who will become stranded in the minority? Who will remain with their closest allies? And which new relationships will completely transform the game?

Current Castaways AHI @AmandaSings04 xcharliex Jane Jordan mattychamps muribolt starrydash NALU @Brxan October @Intuition Nick @Sprite @Xakim UILA cullenistehbest @ghutch Malibu Lover Sin IceBeast Zee_ Following the first Joint Tribal Council of the season, the castaways returned to their camps ready to regroup and prepare for the next challenge. Ahi and Nalu appeared to be feeling relatively united after surviving the first vote. Over on Uila, however, it was a very different story... A #GenuineBomb had exploded directly in the middle of camp and the person responsible was none other than the tribe’s resident invader… Sinthia. Sin called an emergency camp meeting after successfully cracking the code to Uila’s locked tribe chest, which was believed to contain a Hidden Immunity Idol. However, when the chest was opened, Sin claimed it was completely empty. The idol was gone. Sin immediately turned her suspicions towards cullenistehbest, confronting him in front of the entire tribe and accusing him of being involved in the idol’s disappearance. Cullen strongly denied the accusation and fought back, insisting that he had not taken the idol from the chest. What began as a confrontation between two players quickly pulled the entirety of Uila into the chaos, with every member becoming involved. Questions began flying around camp - Who had been given which codes? Who had shared information with whom? Who had reached the chest first? Was somebody secretly holding the idol, or had the tribe completely misunderstood what had happened? While some players attempted to uncover the truth, others became increasingly concerned about the damage the argument could cause. With another Immunity Challenge approaching, Uila could not afford to lose focus. Unfortunately for them, the cracks were already beginning to show. The second Tribal Immunity Challenge of the season had arrived: Hawaii Runner! For the challenge, every castaway had to choose whether they would compete as either Skinny or Tisha, with each host providing a different advantage. Along the way, they were asked Trivia on Skinnisha Survivor Season 1: Skeleton Coast Tisha granted the player an extra life. If they hit an obstacle, they could continue their run one additional time. Skinny awarded the player a 20% bonus to their final distance. The castaways had to split themselves evenly playing as Skinny or Tisha. Once every player had completed their run, the final total distances were calculated. In first place, with an impressive total distance of 36,878… AHI WON IMMUNITY! Nalu followed closely behind with 34,016, while the fractured Uila tribe finished in last place with 27,350. Feel free to play the challenge yourself here: https://skinnisha-practice-comps.netlify.app/ (Thank you @Venharim sm!!) Ahi earned a much needed night away from Tribal Council, while Nalu and Uila were forced to prepare for a Joint Tribal Council. With the evening free: Jane, starrydash and xcharliex decided it was the perfect time to begin rehearsing for the highly anticipated Skinnisha Talent Show. Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the losing tribes was far less celebratory. Nalu had spent the round completely unaware of the conflict unfolding over on Uila. That didn't last long. As both tribes arrived at Tribal Council, the members of Nalu were quickly introduced to the chaos now known as #IdolGate. What should have been a celebration for Zee_’s birthday was repeatedly interrupted by TruthBombs, GenuineBombs and accusations surrounding the missing idol. Nalu could only look on in confusion as Uila’s internal conflict played out in front of them. With a possible idol somewhere in the game, nobody could be certain which names were safe to write down. For much of Tribal Council, the conversation appeared to stall. Players remained unusually quiet after #IdolGate, waiting to see who would make the first move. Then, with only a few hours remaining before the voting deadline, a new target emerged. One player was believed to have been more involved in #IdolGate than originally suspected. With cracks continuing to form throughout Uila, members of Nalu recognised an opportunity to make a major move before the tribe had the chance to repair itself. Multiple names were discussed, plans shifted and several castaways entered the vote unsure whether the numbers they had been promised were real. Once the votes had been submitted, Skinnisha asked whether anybody wished to play a Hidden Immunity Idol. Every player looked around Tribal Council, anxiously waiting for someone to stand. Nobody moved. No idol was played. Skinnisha began to read the votes. The opening parchments revealed just how scattered the Tribal Council had become, with votes initially landing on four different players: cullenistehbest @Intuition IceBeast And Airi, who received a self vote. As more votes were revealed, the count reached a deadlock: Four votes IceBeast, Four votes @Intuition. Only three votes remained. The next vote was for…IceBeast, then another... and another. With the final parchment, the decision was confirmed. IceBeast had been voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii. The result came as a major shock to several players. What had started as a round dominated by the missing idol and the conflict, had ended with Will becoming the target of a sudden blindside. For some castaways, this was not the outcome they had expected when Tribal Council began. Will stood from his seat, visibly disappointed but not entirely surprised and approached Skinnisha to have his torch snuffed. When asked for his final words, he turned towards the remaining castaways and said: IceBeast, thank you so much for playing. Genuinely, we are so sad that you have left this early in the game. You had so much potential and were incredibly fun to watch. We truly hope this will not be the end of your Skinnisha story. Nineteen castaways remain. With nobody feeling completely safe, #IdolGate, TruthBombs and GenuineBombs exploding across the island and cracks forming within every tribe, the game has officially been blown wide open. Can everyone recover from #IdolGate? And after one of the season’s first major blindsides, who will become the next player voted out?

The second season of Skinnisha Survivor has officially begun, with 21 castaways arriving on the shores of Hawaii ready to battle it out for the title of the Skinniest Survivor! Skinnisha wasted no time dividing the castaways into three tribes: AHI: @AmandaSings04 xcharliex Jane Jordan mattychamps muribolt starrydash NALU: @Brxan October @Intuition Nick @Sprite Goldelli @Xakim UILA: cullenistehbest @ghutch Malibu Lover Sin IceBeast Zee_ Following the tribe reveal, each group was given time to settle into camp, introduce themselves and begin forming their first impressions of one another. Over on Ahi, Amanda revealed that she hoped to show a more vulnerable side of herself during her time in Hawaii. muribolt proudly announced that she was the first Brazilian castaway to step foot on the Skinnisha shores, while mattychamps surprised his tribemates by revealing that he is one of three triplets! On Nalu, Nick quickly established himself as a man of many talents, including the ability to yawn like Chewbacca. @Intuition revealed that he is an amateur magician, while @Sprite anxiously confessed that she has a habit of wiggling her ears. Meanwhile, over on Uila, IceBeast demonstrated that he can place both feet behind his head, Malibu opened up about some of the legal troubles she has recently experienced, and Sin made one thing very clear: she wanted Burger King to appear as a Reward Challenge at some point this season. Beneath the light hearted introductions, however, the social game had already begun. Players started identifying who they naturally connected with, who they believed they could trust and who might become dangerous further down the line. Early relationships were beginning to take shape within all three tribes, but with nobody knowing exactly what the first twist would bring, every conversation mattered. Before the first Immunity Challenge, the castaways received some unexpected news: two tribes would be attending Tribal Council... more on this later! For the challenge, one player from each tribe was sent out onto a canoe alongside two opposing castaways. Waiting for them were three chests, each containing a different number of shells. Each player could secretly claim one chest. However, if two or more players selected the same chest, everyone who chose it would have their points cancelled. The challenge forced the castaways to predict the decisions of players they had barely met. Some played cautiously, while others risked everything in pursuit of the highest value chest. Once all seven canoes had returned and the shells were counted, it was Uila who had secured the highest total! Uila won immunity and became the only tribe safe from the first Tribal Council of the season. The celebration was short lived for Ahi and Nalu, who soon learned that this would not be an ordinary vote. Until further notice, the two losing tribes from each Immunity Challenge would attend Joint Tribal Council together. Suddenly, the castaways were no longer dealing with only the six other people on their tribe. Ahi and Nalu were forced to meet, socialise and strategise with seven new players, all while preparing to vote somebody out. When both tribes arrived at Tribal Council, the numbers appeared perfectly divided: seven members of Ahi and seven members of Nalu. With the possibility of a 7–7 deadlock hanging over the vote, players immediately began searching for cracks in the opposing tribe. Names were quietly passed around, loyalties were tested and everybody waited for someone to emerge as the easiest sacrifice. Some players focused on protecting their own tribe. Others began considering whether working across tribal lines could provide them with more security. With fourteen castaways involved in the decision, it became increasingly difficult to know where the majority truly stood. Every player was searching for the same thing: a name that enough people could agree on to survive another day. When Skinnisha began reading the votes, parchment after parchment revealed the same name: Goldelli Elli watched in shock as his name continued to appear, unaware that every other player had come together on a plan that completely excluded him. With the decision made, Elli approached Skinnisha and had his torch snuffed, becoming the first castaway eliminated from Skinnisha Survivor: Hawaii. His final words to the remaining players were: Goldelli, thank you so much for playing! We definitely were not expecting your journey to end this early. You are such a sweet and genuinely pure person, and it sucks to see your time in the game cut so short. #SecondChances Twenty castaways remain. Which tribe will win immunity next and which two tribes will be forced to navigate another chaotic Joint Tribal Council? Find out next time on Skinnisha Survivor!
