With only eight castaways left in the running to win “Survivor: Island of the Idols,” we recently asked our readers to vote for who they Hope will join the winners list. Kentucky factory worker Elaine Stott easily topped our poll results with a leading 36% of the vote. Conversely, coming in at 0% was Dan Spilo, the controversial Los Angeles talent manager who was accused of inappropriate touching. Do you agree or disagree with those poll results? Sound off down in the comments section.

Thanks to her funny personality, Elaine was one of the first major targets of the season. Her name was thrown out by Ronnie Bardah in the first episode, who worried her likeability could carry her far in the game. He was right. Elaine managed to survive that first vote when her allies wrote down Ronnie’s name instead.

On “Survivor: Island of the Idols,” Boston Rob Mariano and Sandra Diaz-Twine — both considered among the best players of all time — have been sizing up the castaways as, one by one, they wash up on their beach in order to be mentored by the former champs.
On episode 7, they finally got a student who actually impressed the heck out of them in the form of Janet Carbin, a 59-year-old chief lifeguard from Palm Bay, Florida. Since the beginning, Janet avoided making the mistake of trying to mother the younger players like Reem Daly, 46, did on last season’s “Extinction Island.” Instead, she was congenial and accepting of her fellow players in their 20s and 30s.
Probably Janet’s biggest rival is the upbeat Elaine Stott, a 41-year-old factory worker who controlled the previous tribal council after getting instructions from Rob and Sandra about how to find a block-the-vote advantage during the immunity challenge.

Hey,"Survivor" fans. Tonight, November 7, 2019, another new episode did indeed air, and another very unlucky person was sent on their way off the island after getting voted off. This one was filled with some major twists. Tonight's episode kicked off with some conversation footage. Lauren expressed to the private cams that she felt lied to for being on the outside of the last tribal council vote, which featured Jason Linden's demise. Missy tried to do some damage control with Lauren at one point when Lauren started crying. Over at the Lairo tribe, Kellee expressed to the private cams her frustrations with trying to work with Jamal. Apparently, Jamal really ticked Kellee off when they were making fire. Everyone suggested that Kellee do it after Jamal failed many times. They knew Kellee was better than him. However, Jamal still thought he could give Kellee advice on how to do it.

With the merge on the horizon, the Vokai and Lairo camps were dead even at seven members a piece heading into Wednesday’s seventh episode of “Survivor: Island of the Idols.” The Vokai tribe had a four-three split with Elizabeth Beisel, Missy Byrd, Aaron Meredith and Elaine Stott on one side and Lauren Beck, Tommy Sheehan and Dan Spilo on the other. Meanwhile, the Lairo tribe was flirting with a girls alliance vs. the three guys. So which castaway ended up getting their torch snuffed by host Jeff Probst?

New Vokai member Elaine Stott acted like a boss at tribal council last week when she used an advantage and blocked Jason Linden‘s vote. That convinced Aaron Meredith to join her and the two other original Lairo members, Missy Byrd and Elizabeth Beisel, to snuff out Jason’s torch. As Elaine declared, “I’m gonna play the hero and ride in on my stallion and jump off and save the day for my peeps.”
Of all the 14 castaways still in the game, Elaine is my favorite. This down-to-earth good ol’ gal from Kentucky had likability out the wazoo from the start. In her bio, the 41-year-old factory worker notes that people often underestimate her. That certainly was true of Lauren Beck, who demeaned Elaine’s game by saying she isn’t smart enough to have an idol. However, she is smart enough to get a block the vote advantage,...

Rudy Boesch, the oldest person to ever play “Survivor,” passed away on November 1 at age 91 following a battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Now many of his former tribe members from “Survivor: Borneo” (when he was 72 years old) and “Survivor: All-Stars” (when he was age 75) are eulogizing their friend on Twitter. Among Rudy’s cast mates who reacted to his death are “Boston” Rob Mariano, who’s currently serving as a mentor on “Survivor: Island of the Idols,” and Richard Hatch, who formed an unlikely bond with Rudy during their two seasons together.
“We lost an original Og ‘Survivor’ legend,” Rob tweeted. “Rudy was always very nice to me. I feel fortunate to have known him and played the game of with him #SurvivorAllStars. Our sincere condolences to his family. Rest In Peace Rudy.” Rob and Rudy appeared together in the eighth season, which brought back so-called “All-Stars” from the first...

After two decades and 575 episodes on the air, you may think you’ve seen everything there is to see on “Survivor,” but that’s not the case. “[We’ve] never had a tribal like this. Ever,” admits shaken host Jeff Probst in CBS’s spoiler-filled preview trailer for the seventh episode of Season 39, titled “I Was Born at Night, But Not Last Night” (watch above). It’s unclear whether Jeff is talking to Lairo or Vokai, but as of this writing both tribes are even at seven members a piece. Avoiding tribal council at this stage is imperative as both tribes crave a numbers advantage heading into the merge.

Heading into tribal council during Wednesday’s sixth episode of “Survivor” Season 39, the newly formed Vokai tribe was composed of four original Vokai members and four original Lairo players. Both groups were willing to force a tie and draw rocks, but then Elaine pulled out her block-a-vote advantage she found thanks to her visit to the Island of the Idols. The Lairo foursome used the advantage to block Jason’s vote and then send him packing with a four-to-three vote. “It sucks,” Jason said in his exit interview with CBS (watch above).

I have been fairly cool about the whole “Island of the Idols” tutorials provided by former “Survivor” champs Rob Mariano and Sandra Diaz-Twine this season. But leave to good ol’ gal Elaine Stott to disarm both reality superstars with her gusto for the game. Maybe she was a little too eager to say yes to their offer before she even what the task was that the mentors were about to dangle before her.
But given that she was perceived as a target in a post-swap Vokai tribe that was evenly split between four Lairo stalwarts, including Elaine, and four original Vokai members, her advantage of a vote block worked out beautifully. Rob was tsk-tsking her impulsiveness to say yes without any info, but Sandra was all “you go girl” about the 41-year-old Kentucky-based factory worker. “Survivor” being “Survivor,” the castaway even shared the fact that her mother passed away three...

Hey,"Survivor" fans. Tonight, October 30, 2019, another new episode did indeed air, and another unlucky person got sent packing at the end of it. However, the votes were much closer, coming down to the wire. Tonight's episode kicked off with Noura expressing to the private cams that she doesn't trust Jack and Jamal. She decided to tell Dean all about her feelings of mistrust for Jack and Jamal, and she tried to form a plan with Dean to get them out. It turns out that Noura should have also had those same feelings of mistrust for Dean because Dean turned right around and told the private cams, "I would never work with Noura. She's crazy. She's all over the place." If that weren't enough, Dean ran and told Jamal and Jack all about Noura's devious plans to get them out. So, that of course put Noura at the top of Jack and Jamal's hit list.

Heading into Wednesday’s sixth episode of “Survivor: Island of the Idols,” Karishma Patel had overwhelming 17/10 odds of being eliminated after being on the chopping block for weeks. This ultimate underdog managed to survive the recent tribe swap despite being at a three-to-five numbers disadvantage along with former Lairo members Tom Laidlaw (who was voted out) and Dean Kowalski. But was Karishma’s time finally up? And what was the “powerful, life changing moment” hinted at in the preview trailer regarding Jamal Shipman and Jack Nichting?

If CBS’s latest spoiler-filled preview trailer for “Survivor: Island of the Idols” is any indication, it looks like Wednesday’s sixth episode will be a real tearjerker. Something happens between tribe members Jamal Shipman and Jack Nichting that’s described as a “powerful, life-changing moment.” In the promo video (watch above), Jack, a 23-year-old graduate student from Virginia, declares, “It was really cool to share a very human moment because it brought us together as friends.” And Jamal, a 33-year-old college administrator from Rhode Island, proclaims, “I will remember that for the rest of my life.”

In “Survivor,” a tribal swap can be the kiss of death for a once powerful player at the same time that it can be a glimmer of hope for someone at the bottom of their old tribe’s totem pole. When the Lairo and Vokai tribes were shaken up on episode 5 of “Island of the Idols,” the five original Vokai members that were swapped to Lairo earned the luckiest of draws. That luck earned them the comfort of feeling safe after they lost the immunity challenge and were tasked with voting one of the three original Lairo members out. The decision to eliminate Tom Laidlaw wasn’t easy, but appears to have been orchestrated by Kellee Kim and Janet Carbin, the two players I’m now considering the most powerful in the game.

It’s that time again, “Survivor” fans — “Drop your buffs” time, that is. Just when we were starting to remember who was living at what camp, Jeff Probst came along and mixed things up with a tribe swap. Vokai went into Wednesday’s episode with a nine-to-seven numbers advantage over Lairo, meaning all of the success they had at the immunity challenges (winning three of four) was squandered after the tribe swap evened things out at eight members apiece. Which contestants took advantage of the switcheroo and whose torch was snuffed by Jeff because of it?

We really need to discuss the Lairo female alliance. Prior to episode 4, we were calling Missy Byrd and Chelsea Walker the two most powerful players in the game. Now, as we look forward to episode 5, Chelsea’s been eliminated and Missy plummets to the bottom of these updated power rankings. What happened? To keep it short: Missy made a horrible decision that marks the beginning of the end for the Lairo women’s reign.

After three episodes of “Survivor: Island of the Idols,” the Lairo tribe was at a slight numbers disadvantage as they’d voted out two players (Ronnie Bardah and Vince Moua) compared to one (Molly Byman) for the Vokai tribe. Strong females dominated both camps, including the powerful Lairo fivesome and the Vokai underdogs. Did the women successfully vote out another guy in the fourth episode?

In our first power rankings of Season 39, the “Survivor: Island of the Idols” cast was dominated by the women and in this week’s update they’re still at top with only minor switches in placement. Missy Byrd and Chelsea Walker are leading a five woman alliance at Lairo while Janet Carbin and Lauren Beck join with the most powerful man in the game, Tommy Sheehan, for control at Vokai. In that previous ranking we correctly deemed Vince Moua as one of the more vulnerable players prior to his boot in episode 3, knowing he was on the outside of the female alliance that sacrificed him in order to maintain their power in the gender balance.
Meanwhile at the bottom of the game, Jamal Shipman and Dan Spilo are at odds over who is playing the game harder with both men carrying a huge target on their backs at Vokai. Unlike the men of Vokai,...

Heading into Wednesday’s third episode of “Survivor: Island of the Idols,” the Lairo and Vokai tribes were even at nine members apiece after the eliminations of Ronnie Bardah and Molly Byman, respectively. Both tribes also possessed one hidden immunity idol: Lairo’s Chelsea Walker found hers in a tree stump almost by accident and Vokai’s Kellee Kim won hers at the Island of the Idols. With the tribes being evenly matched in terms of physical strength and mental acuity, it was anyone’s guess who’d be sent to tribal council this week. So how’d it all play out?

On the second episode of “Survivor” 39, one theme became very clear — the female castaways are large, in charge and not messing around. From making fire and winning physical and mental challenges to swaying the votes of their tribe mates, the ladies have been stand-outs.
But the best move so far, according to the show’s fans, was when nanny Lauren Beck rightfully targeted the charismatic law student Molly Byton as a threat after she swiftly wrapped two Voika males — Jamal Shipman and Jack Nichting — around her finger, earning the nickname “Parvati 2.0.” Lauren convinced two other Voika underdogs, Noura Salman and Jason Linden, to vote for Molly and others followed. As the blindsided Molly said during her exit interview, “I’m not sure exactly where I went wrong or what happened or how this tide turned. I guess I got cocky and I’ve been humbled.”

How great were the women on both the Orange and Purple teams on the second episode of “Survivor: Island of the Idols”? We will count the ways in just a second. But let’s focus on how lame some of the male castaways were — primarily Lairo’s Aaron Meredith and Vokai’s Jamal Shipman — when they acted as if they were somehow large and in charge and then expressed shock when their tribe mates put their own plans into effect without them. Jamal was so cocky, he took a midday nap instead of staying in the loop as others pushed forward their own agenda before that night’s tribal council.
But while he was sleeping, Lauren Beck put into motion her effort to block the over-confident power trio of Molly Byton — aka “Parvati 2.0” — Jack Nichting and Jamal from controlling the game. Lauren had a gut feeling that pretty Molly, with...

After two episodes, “Survivor” Season 39 is off to a promising start. Both tribes have already attended tribal council so we have a clear idea of who is at the top of each, calling the shots and setting the tone for how their tribe will maneuver through the first stage of the game. In the season premiere, Ronnie Bardah thought he was on the top of the world but received a rude awakening at tribal council when he was voted out nearly unanimously by his Lairo tribe members and due in large part to a strong female alliance. In Wednesday’s second episode, Molly Byman was ousted for sticking too closely to the men of the Vokai tribe, leading the other women to cut her loose sooner rather than later

Heading into the second episode of “Survivor” Season 39, we already knew from the preview trailer that the next unsuspecting castaway to meet Sandra Diaz-Twine and Rob Mariano at the “Island of the Idols” would be Kellee Kim. This Vokai tribe member was chosen at random last week when Elizabeth Beisel picked her name out of a bag after losing her fire-making challenge (and her vote) to Rob. Did Kellee succeed this week in gaining an advantage in the game? And which tribe lost the immunity challenge and was forced to vote someone off the island?

Sandra Diaz-Twine and Rob Mariano are two of the most intelligent “Survivor” winners of all time, which is why CBS invited them back to serve as mentors in Season 39. Dubbed “Survivor: Island of the Idols,” this latest installment is the eighth overall to film in the islands of Fiji. Wednesday’s 90-minute season premiere introduced 20 brand new castaways in a sort of “boot camp” atmosphere where they’re able to take advice from Queen Sandra and Boston Rob.
