CBS has finally revealed the 20 Survivors that make up that 19th season which will take place in Samoa. This time around the game starts off with a Samoan tradition of assigning two tribal chiefs. It isn’t really said what these “chiefs” will do but it will have some influence as they will make all the choices for the tribes, early on at least. The cast is two players larger then originally announced and that is due to the two alternates being so liked that they were added in last minute. It seems like a well balanced cast with no obvious stand outs. There are only 9 players under 20 this time around, which isĀ a nice chance as usually that isn’t the case! They also seemed to have casted more people from around the country and only a few are from LA. So far my favorites are the two Russells, Betsy and Shambo aka Shannon. Below I’ve posted Jeff Probst’s take on all 20 players as it gives a quick glimpse at each cast member. After watching leave a comment and let us know what you think of Survivor Samoa’s cast!
It’s Survivor Finale time and either Erinn, JT, Stephen or Taj will take home the one million dollar prize. Coach went last time, finally, so it seems the JT/Stephen alliance isn’t as tight as once thought. All four returned to camp excited to be in the final four with old Jalapao three being most confident. JT was worried about Stephen getting jury votes thanks to the Coach vote, while Stephen felt it was beneficial for JT as he’ll now get Coach’s vote. Odds are good for Stephen and JT to be in the finals, but he may soon realize that JT cannot be beaten. The next morning Taj and Stephen talked alone and Taj discussed that JT was the biggest threat but both said they couldn’t vote him out. Erinn talked about being the last Timberia member and knew she would have to fight to stay. Her one hope was immunity and winning that guaranteed a Timberia member in the final three.
The immunity challenge was in the shape of a large spider with its legs as tunnels to different sacks of puzzle pieces. They would have to go through each tunnel for the pieces and then put together a web shaped puzzle to win the immunity. JT was through first followed by Taj and Stephen, Erinn was lagging which made things look rather disappointing for her. JT was on his second bag while some barely got back with their first, proving he’s a strong competitor but Taj slowed him down by going the opposite direction in the one tunnel. JT was still able to get all puzzle pieces first while Stephen was behind by a few minutes. Jeff kept saying it was a hard puzzle, which gave everyone a shot so it was a close showdown once all four were through and working on it. Erinn worked quickly on her puzzle while JT was close to finishing. She’s been good with puzzles the entire season and with JT screwing up towards the end it was a close battle. JT won with Erinn having a few pieces left, meaning she’s probably going home while JT continues to dominate the immunities.
