Thursday night's Tribal Council was the Tribal Council of all Tribal Councils on "Survivor: Samoa." The vote was split with five castaways voting to send home Laura Morett, and five voting for Southern belle Natalie White.
"Survivor: Samoa"'s Kelly Sharbaugh (ex-Galu) was bushwacked at Thursday night's Tribal Council when Russell Hantz (ex-Foa Foa) once again found and played the Immunity Idol to keep him safe. Even though the tribes have merged, there is still a division between Foa Foa and Galu, with Galu having numbers on its side. But with Russell playing the Immunity Idol, all the votes against him didn't count -- and those that Russell had pre-arranged against Kelly did.
"Survivor: Samoa"'s self-proclaimed master manipulator Russell Hantz tipped his hand on last week's episode when he didn't trust his newly merged tribe.They told him they were going to vote off Erik Cardona, but he was worried they might blindside him, so he played the Immunity Idol to keep him in the game one more week. Will he now be the next to go?
The four-member Foa Foa tribe merged with the eight-member Galu tribe on last week's episode of "Survivor: Samoa," and it looked to be a sure bet that Galu would knock off the Foa Foa members one, two, three, four. But they surprised everyone by voting off one of their own: Erik Cardona.
It was another discouraging night for Foa Foa on "Survivor: Samoa." The tribe was leading the Immunity Challenge, but fell apart when they got to the puzzle portion -- and they blamed Jaison Robinson for their loss. But even so, it was Elizabeth Kim that they sent home from Tribal Council. Now the 33-year-old attorney from New York City tells ET why.
For the first time in "Survivor" history, the reward challenge was brought to a halt by a medical emergency when castaway Russell Swan collapsed during the game. Jeff Probst made the decision to cancel the challenge.
The Galu Tribe lost its first Immunity Challenge on Thursday night's "Survivor: Samoa," and there was major dissension as to whether the castaways should oust Monica Padilla or Yasmin Giles. Tribe leader Russell Swan wanted to eliminate Monica, because she was weak in that night's challenge, but he was outvoted when Galu sent home the outspoken Yasmin, who they felt wasn't helping out enough around camp.
The bickering Foa Foa tribe lost its third Immunity challenge in a row on last night's "Survivor: Samoa," which meant that they had to send one more member home at Tribal Council. After some negotiating, during which it looked as if it would be Ashley, the tribe rallied around Jaison Robinson, who told his fellow castaways that he didn't want to stay in Samoa one more day if he had to be in the same tribe as Ben.
Ben Browning became the first-ever castaway to be eliminated from a challenge for foul play on Thursday night's "Survivor: Samoa." RussellHantz continued his evil ways, helping to ensure that Betsy Bolan was the second to go. And Mike Borassi was pulled from the game for health reasons. Now ET gets all the jungle jive from Betsy and Mike about what is really going on in Samoa!
For the first time in "Survivor" history, Jeff Probst, who on Sunday won an Emmy for hosting the CBS series, ejects a competitor from the Rewards Challenge for inappropriate behavior when the Foa Foa and Galu
tribes face off!
When "Survivor: Samoa" kicked off last night, the players were thrown into a Reward Challenge before they even got to know each other. Then it was off to their respective camps. For some reason, Marisa Calihan angered fellow teammate Russell Hantz to such a degree that the oil company owner lobbied to get her voted off the island when their team lost the Immunity Challenge. Now the 26-year-old college student tells ET it was because she wasn't stupid enough to fall for his lies!
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor ... Not really, but when the 19th season of "Survivor" begins, there is a doctor, a lawyer and a rocket scientist, as well as a hairstylist, a mixologist and an oil company owner.
