After one of the most dramatic Tribal Councils on the Skeleton Coast, jadennator1 headed to Ponderosa, leaving the remaining castaways shaken.
The end was getting closer for the Final 8 and now was not the time for anyone to take their foot off the gas.
Costura:
CupidStunt, AngieKStan, GabCo, Mochalatte, MrsChloeKayCecci, IronMuffin, o_o, Marwane
For their next Immunity Challenge, the castaways were informed that they would be competing in something very important.
It was time for… THE SKINNISHA AUCTION!
Each castaway began with $500 and bid on items as they appeared one by one. Some items were revealed, while others remained covered until after bidding was complete. The highest bidder would win the item!
Here is what everyone won:
Hidden Item: Increase the Skinnisha prize pot from $75 to $100 - IronMuffin
Hidden Item: Disadvantage at the next Immunity Challenge - AngieKStan
1 Bone Key - AngieKStan
Hidden Item: Ticket Back to Camp - GabCo
Block someone from the next item - CupidStunt, who blocked Mochalatte
Advantage at the next Immunity Challenge - CupidStunt
Hidden Item: Profile Picture Punishment - MrsChloeKayCecci
Individual Immunity - Marwane
Steal 20% of another player’s balance - Mochalatte
Ask the Jury a question - IronMuffin
A gift on Kovaze - o_o
Know a Vote Advantage - MrsChloeKayCecci
After a chaotic and entertaining auction, it was Marwane who managed to secure Individual Immunity, guaranteeing himself a spot in the Final 7.
Unlike the previous round, the gaming began instantly.
Everyone got to work, desperate to make sure they would survive the upcoming Tribal Council. Some players were ready to avenge jadennator1 and take a shot at one of the biggest perceived threats left in the game: o_o.
Others were unhappy with Mochalatte’s attitude in the game and were more than happy to send him to Ponderosa instead.
But once again, no plan felt completely locked in. With idols and advantages still looming over every decision, the castaways knew that one wrong move could send the entire vote crashing down.
When the tribe arrived at Tribal Council, it was time to welcome in the members of the jury: Honey, venharim, Ethan and the most recently voted out, jadennator1.
At Tribal Council, the time for talking seemed to be over for several players. Many had already set their sights on the names discussed back at camp and were not willing to shift.
But just before the players stood up to vote, Mochalatte whispered in AngieKStan’s ear that something felt off tonight, and that he thought he may be in danger.
Skineesh were just about to begin reading the votes when Mochalatte suddenly stood up, leaving everyone looking over in shock.
It was, in fact, the Hidden Connor Immunity Idol. Any votes cast against Murphy would not count.
Everyone looked around in horror, now knowing exactly where they had voted. It was only a matter of who was about to be idoled out of the game.
One by one, 5 votes for Murphy were revealed and negated. Only 3 votes remained.
Skinnisha revealed the final parchments, and with that, o_o’s time on the Skeleton Coast came to a devastating end.
As Edgar walked over to Skinnisha, several of his allies were in tears, clearly not expecting this to be their final conversation with him for a while.
As his torch was snuffed, Edgar left the remaining castaways with some wise words. He told them he would not be a bitter juror and encouraged them all to play their hardest. He acknowledged that he had played one of the stronger games on the Skeleton Coast, but warned certain castaways that they would need to step it up if they wanted to earn his vote at the end.
o_o, thank you so much for playing Season 1. When we saw your application come in, we knew you were a lock because you would deliver, and deliver you absolutely did. From Day 1, you were a target on everyone’s list because of your reputation as one of the best game players and yet you still managed to make it incredibly deep into the game. You truly played one of the strongest games out here on the Skeleton Coast.
We are excited to see how you vote for a winner to represent this season at the end, because we know Edgar will be looking for the most fluid gameplayer.
And as always, Edgar… Skinnisha Survivor is a fluid game.
The castaways have now reached the Final 7.
Everyone can smell the $100 prize pot, but only one of them will be able to touch it at the end.
Who will be the next victim of the Skeleton Coast?
