Following Maximoff’s elimination, the remaining fourteen castaways barely had time to process the vote before the spacecraft continued deeper into the outer reaches of space.
Their next destination?
🪐 URANUS
Cold, unpredictable and tilted unlike any planet they had visited before. And apparently, the game was about to tilt with it.
DROP YOUR HELMETS!
For the third time this season, the castaways were ordered to switch bases.
🌙 NEW LUNA
alexanderspms, Fiji, Glitter, Joshy, Mel, motherbird, Poof
⭐ NEW NOVA
gay, Gabs, JTee, KeithNewBern, IzziDame, MissCalculated, PosterBoy
Each tribe had seven players and seven completely different missions. Each successfully completed task earned one point. The tribe with the most points would win Immunity, with completion time serving as a tiebreaker if necessary.
The missions ranged from counting individually to 2,000, collecting five ridiculous abduction videos, checking in every thirty minutes for eight hours, writing a 1,500-word space essay, reaching the Final 2 of a Kovaze Island, earning 20,000 Pancakes using the Pancake bot on discord, and completing a mystery task under a fifteen-minute timer.
In other words... Mission Control had decided nobody was sleeping.
Nova divided their assignments:
MissCalculated - Countdown to 2,000
Gabs - 5 Abduction Videos
KeithNewbern - Eight-Hour Check-In
IzziDame - Space Research Essay
gay - F2 in Kovaze Island
JTee - Earn 20,000 Pancakes with the Pancake Bot
PosterBoy - Mystery Mission
IzziDame immediately claimed the research paper and started flying through it.
“this essay is just me yapping about my favourite theories : )”
KeithNewBern volunteered for the eight-hour endurance task and quickly discovered how miserable sending a 🚀 every thirty minutes could become.
A few hours in:
“This is hell, I hate this.”
MissCalculated powered through all 2,000 numbers, later admitting that the simple looking assignment was actually “kinda torture.”
JTee spent hours grinding Pancakes, while Gabs struggled to find five eligible people willing to record themselves saying:
“I’ve been abducted by Skinnisha Survivor, please send help!”
Eventually, with some help locating volunteers, Gabs secured all five, including a special appearance from Kimmie.
gay took on the Island mission and successfully reached the required finish, giving Nova another point.
That left PosterBoy with the mystery assignment.
When he activated it, Production revealed that he had fifteen minutes to search through a two-and-a-half-hour Star Wars prequel compilation and locate five exact shots.
He found four. Time expired before he could locate the fifth.
“Bad news. I failed.”
With PosterBoy’s mission unsuccessful, Nova finished with: ⭐ NOVA - 6/7
Now they could only wait and hope Luna slipped somewhere too. Unfortunately for them, Luna was experiencing an entirely different kind of disaster.
Luna eventually settled on:
Fiji - Countdown to 2,000
Poof - 5 Abduction Videos
Glitter - Eight-Hour Check-In
Joshy - Space Research Essay
Mel- F2 in Kovaze Island
alexanderspms - 20,000 Pancakes
motherbird - Mystery Mission
The trouble began almost immediately.
Poof confidently volunteered for the video task… before realizing every participant actually had to show their face.
“I need a new task I fear.”
Production reminded him of the most important rule. No switching.
Glitter offered some comforting words:
“girl its written in stone lmao”
“you can and you will”
While Poof began desperately hunting down five people willing to publicly announce their Skinnisha abduction, the rest of Luna got moving.
Fiji completed the counting task relatively quickly.
alexanderspms began the agonizing Pancake grind. Glitter started her eight hours of check-ins.
And motherbird activated the mystery mission.
Her task? The exact same brutal Star Wars assignment PosterBoy would later receive. She found all five. With just 28 seconds remaining.
Luna celebrated another point!
But elsewhere, a completely unrelated investigation was beginning. During gay Island attempt for Nova, Glitter entered the same game.
Then Poof noticed two other Kovaze players Toque and joeburrow, had also joined.
Because both had connections to JTee, Poof became convinced they had deliberately entered the game to help Austin reach the Final 2.
And Poof was not letting it go. He accused Nova of receiving outside assistance and began presenting his case to Production like Skinnisha Survivor had suddenly become a true crime documentary.
Glitter, however, thought he was grasping at straws: “BROOOO SHUT UPPPPP”
She argued that Austin had survived legitimately and told Poof to worry about completing his own mission. Poof continued. Glitter continued yelling at him.
Production explained that the game would be reviewed, but Austin’s result would remain valid unless there was actual evidence that people had intentionally thrown the game for him. Poof was thrilled that an investigation existed at all.
“thank u sm for this Skinnishstigation”
alexanderspms tried desperately to drag Luna back toward the actual challenge. “let’s just beat their asses”
Hours into the challenge, Mel finally woke from her slumber.
Production informed her that Luna had assigned her the Kovaze Island mission.
Melanie's response? - “I HATE ISLAND”
Being European, Mel worried that Island games would barely fill while she was awake. She also became concerned about what would happen if friends naturally joined the same game during an ongoing Gowncil Klique Battle, sparking another lengthy argument with Production about where normal participation ended and outside assistance began.
At one point she summarized the entire situation:
“i have to win island but cant play with 40 people on the website everyone! they cant be in my game!”
Eventually, the rules were settled. If people joined naturally, that was fine. She just couldn't arrange for anyone to throw the game or carry her.
So Melanie finally entered an Island. She reached the... FINAL THREE.
One spot away. Tone had apparently indicated he would take Melanie to the Final 2, only to choose someone else instead.
So Melanie had to do the entire thing… AGAIN. Melanie fought her way through once more. Luna watched and encouraged her as the game approached its conclusion.
And this time...
MELANIE MADE FINAL TWO.
Meanwhile, Poof had also managed to recover spectacularly from his video panic.
He only needed five submissions Among Skinnisha’s newest abductees were bim, Astrophysics and Batya. With every mission finally checked, it was time for the results.
Nova had completed...
6 OF 7.
Luna had completed...
7 OF 7.
🌙 LUNA WINS IMMUNITY!
Nova was heading to Tribal Council.
And Uranus still had one final surprise.
🧊 URANUS - THE FROZEN VOTE
Uranus is one of the coldest planets in the solar system. And tonight, somebody's vote was about to freeze over. Every member of Nova would cast their vote normally. But after all seven votes were locked, one player would be selected at random.
Their vote would be completely nullified. It would never leave the urn. The identity of the frozen voter wouldn't be revealed until Tribal Council. One missing vote could potentially destroy an entire majority.
🔥 NOVA TRIBAL COUNCIL
At Tribal Council, the castaways reflected on just how chaotic the season had become after three separate swaps.
JTee argued that original tribal loyalty had become almost meaningless.
Players who had once been enemies could suddenly find themselves relying on each other, while old relationships continued changing every day.
IzziDame pointed out just how absurd the season had become: At Final 14, he had already shared a tribe with every single remaining player.
gay, meanwhile, submitted perhaps the strongest Tribal argument of the evening:
“btw i’m at work pls don’t vote me out”
Fair enough.
But attention increasingly turned toward Gabs.
After Cristi's elimination, he had already made it clear they weren't afraid to fight with basically anyone.
Now, knowing their name was being discussed, Gabs pitched exactly that as a reason to stay. He had fought with half the cast. He was loud. He was a perfect shield.
Later, while drunk at a space party, he doubled down, essentially arguing that if they weren't around causing drama, most of the tribe wouldn't have the courage to do it themselves.
Eventually, everyone locked in their votes. It was time to discover whose voice Uranus had stolen. Production randomized all seven names. The frozen vote belonged to...
GABS.
Whatever name Gabs had written down would not count.
Then the votes were revealed.
Gabs. Gabs. Gabs. Gabs. Four votes. Already enough. But Production continued.
Gabs. Gabs.
6–0.
For all the uncertainty surrounding the Frozen Vote… it had changed absolutely nothing. Every single counted vote had landed on Gabs.
GABS BECOMES THE NINTH PERSON ELIMINATED FROM SKINNISHA SURVIVOR: SPACE INVASION.
Gabs, we loved having you! You always kept us entertained and after spending the season fighting, calling out alleged friendship alliances, losing your closest ally Cristi and openly embracing your role as one of the game's biggest shields, your chaotic journey has finally come to an end. Iconic!
Gabs, the tribe has spoken.
13 CASTAWAYS REMAIN.
Three swaps. Eight planets. And somehow, the crewmates still haven't even merged.
With every new destination bringing another twist, another enemy and another reason for Production to lose control...
Who knows what space has in store for them next. 🚀🪐
The journey continues...
