Can't say I'm not disappointed to be eliminated in that manner. Thought I'd played a damn good game so far but I guess it wasn't meant to be.
Thanks last request for another smashing game. I enjoyed the last Survivor immensely and this one has been every bit as good. My personal favourite challenges were the riddles and the eyes; they were unGoogle-able and really made you think, so kudos for adding them to an already stellar Survivor line-up and I'd love to see them back in a future game (hopefully with the returning Hangman and 50 Questions challenges!). The level of thought and detail that goes into every challenge is superb and really makes it worth giving up free time to play.
I'd also like to extend my thanks to my fellow Toucans Magic, Bottega Don and SUTSS for being great teammates. You lads have been fantastic and and it was a true team effort to get us this far. I sincerely hope two of you three are the finalists as a Toucan truly deserves to win this thing. Best of luck chaps!
Agreed. Didn't go to plan but changes the dimensions of the game and no hard feelings. Obviously feel bad for Mike as it could easily have been me or Don for example but the show must go on.
Dave was voted out at the first Tribal Council. Despite carrying Oaf up the hill in a reward challenge, he picked up the same number of votes as Oaf and was selected at random to be eliminated with Harv holding individual immunity.
Xue Zhao Yi then found themselves present at the next two Tribal Councils, voting off StagsForLife and Saltire.
Juan Tou Ken managed to hold on to all 6 members until Wei Ao Song and Xue Zhao Yi appeared to form an alliance during the Snowball Fight challenge.
This alliance fell apart though during ‘The Last Flag’ when Spirederman set up Juan Tou Ken for the win and was then voted off, resulting in the disbanding of the Xue Zhao Yi tribe.
The final two immunity challenges before the merge saw the spoils shared between Juan Tou Ken and Wei Ao Song, with both tribes deciding to vote off their former Xue Zhao recruits.
Magic, who had found the hidden idol, decided to play it at the first Ngan Xiaowen Tribal Council, perhaps fearing a tied vote. In the end though Oaf was voted out via a 5-4 margin with Cardsfan picking up the 4 votes and a mysterious non-voter in the mix.
With tribal factions playing their part in the early Ngan Xiaowen challenges, the former “Toucans” seemed comfortable in their numerical advantage after locking the other four contestants out of the immunity running in Survivor Sheep. However, when someone turned up late for Tribal Council the voting was affected which saw This Charming Mike and HarvSFC make shock exits.

TONIGHT
It’s a DOUBLE CHALLENGE special!
Ngan Xiaowen members will take on a reward challenge and an immunity challenge, followed by a Tribal Council where for one of the final seven the dream of winning will come to an end.
The stakes are high, and it’s all happening tonight on an all new episode of SURVIVOR!!!
There is a fenced area in front of you in a rectangle shape with a wooden roof about 3 ft high. Somewhere hidden under this roof is a goat. There are 20 vertically aligned panels that the goat could be hiding under.
The first person to pick the panel the goat is under will manage to grab it and win the round. The first contestant to win 2 rounds wins reward!
However, if a panel is picked that is next to the one the goat is hiding under, the goat will run away from where the panel was opened by a distance of 1 panel.
For example if the goat was hiding under panel 10 and you pick panel 11, the goat will run away and hide under panel 9. If the goat was hiding under panel 5 and you look under panel 4, the goat would then hide under panel 6 and so on. The only time a contestant picks an adjacent panel to where the goat is hiding that will not cause the goat to move is if the goat is under one of the end panels (1 or 20).
You will take it in turns to pick panels, but the first set of picks in each round will be first come first serve to decide the order. After that if you take more than 2 mins to pick it passes on to the next person. Once you pick a panel you cannot edit your answer to change this. Even if you get Oaf’d™ it’s simply tough turkey I’m afraid.
First person to grab two goats wins an advantage in the next immunity challenge and gets to pick one person to send to Exile Mountain. This person will miss the next immunity challenge, missing a chance to win immunity but they will return before the next Tribal Council. This means they will be able to vote, and be voted for. I will reveal what the next immunity challenge involves after this challenge, and you don't have to make your Exile Mountain pick until this has been revealed.
This challenge starts in 10 minutes, I will announce exactly when.
