“I’m such a ‘Survivor’ nerd that [Ghost Island] felt like I was in a museum of ‘Survivor’ past,” laughs Kellyn Bechtold about experiencing this season’s big twist up close and personal. We chatted with the Denver, Colorado resident following her elimination in Wednesday’s 13th episode, in which the vote initially came down to a tie between her and Donathan Hurley. While Kellyn admits she was “scared to go sleep by myself all alone” on Ghost Island, she adds that “it was so fun to just nerd out and play these advantages.” Listen to our “Survivor” exit interview podcast above.

CBS will air the two-hour season finale of “Survivor: Ghost Island” on Wednesday, May 23 beginning at 8 p.m. Et/7 p.m. Ct. The original cast of 20 has been culled to just six castaways still in contention for the title and the $1 million prize. Four members of the original Naviti tribe remain in the running: Domenick Abbate, Wendell Holland Jr., Sebastian Noel and Angela Perkins. Only two of the original Malolo tribe are still standing: Donathan Hurley and Laurel Johnson.
While Holland has the best odds to win according to our exclusive “Survivor” predictions, it’s still anyone’s game according to Jeff Probst, who has hosted all 36 seasons of the show. He assures viewers that there is a lot more drama to come on this installment of the reality-series competition series. As he told EW, “It is far from over.”

After being on the bottom for the duration of the game, 18-year-old castaway Michael Yerger finally had his torch snuffed on “Survivor: Ghost Island” during Wednesday’s 11th episode. In our morning-after interview with Michael, he tells us that he tried to make the best out of a bad situation. “Going into the game I had all of these hopes and dreams of what it might look like and what position I could work myself into. And when the game doesn’t really coincide with those plans, it’s hard, it’s difficult.” Listen to our “Survivor” exit interview podcast above.

Jenna Bowman fell victim to a new “Survivor: Ghost Island” twist during Wednesday’s 11th episode, in which the merged tribe of 10 players was temporarily split into two smaller groups of five. Jenna was eliminated from her tribe that also included Malolo ally Donathan Hurley and Naviti members Sebastian Noel, Angela Perkins and Chelsea Townsend. As Jenna tells us in our morning-after interview, she went to tribal council “under the impression I was working with the three Navitis to vote Donathan out.” So what went wrong? Listen to our “Survivor” exit interview podcast above.

Desiree Afuye was a member of the dominating Naviti alliance on “Survivor: Ghost Island,” so why did she risk it all by trying to make a big move in Wednesday’s 10th episode? “I didn’t want to get to a point in the game where I realized it was too late and I didn’t have my own move to pitch to the jury,” she tells us about her idea of trying to get out some of the big players like Kellyn Bechtold, Domenick Abbate and Wendell Holland. “That’s what I had in mind making that move.” Listen to our “Survivor” exit interview podcast above.

What will Domenick Abbate do with his legacy advantage? That’s the question on the mind of every “Survivor: Ghost Island” fan as we head into the highly anticipated merge episode. The legacy advantage, which gives the bearer immunity, can only be used when there are 13 people left in the game or when there are six people left in the game. We have finally reached the first threshold, but only 34% of fans say that Domenick will use it this week. Instead, a whopping 49% vote that he will hold onto it until the Final 6. The other 17% don’t think he’ll use it at all, suggesting either he won’t need it or that he’ll be voted out with the legacy advantage in his pocket.

In an effort to put an end to their losing streak, the Malolo tribe will make the controversial decision to burn their tribal flag in Wednesday’s seventh episode of “Survivor: Ghost Island.” CBS’s new preview trailer (watch above) centers around the fiery act, as a stunned Jeff Probst asks, “You guys burned your flag?!” Will setting fire to their flag be key to ending the Malolo curse, or will the “Survivor” gods continue punishing them even more? Give us your take down in the comments section.

On Wednesday’s seventh episode of “Survivor: Ghost Island” Bradley Kleihege looks to be in danger of heading home, according to our official predictions.

Bradley has leading 11/5 odds to go home in “Gotta Risk it For the Biscuit,” but should he survive the vote, Libby Vincek is next on our elimination chart with 5/2 odds.

“Survivor” host Jeff Probst initially teased Ghost Island as “the graveyard for bad ‘Survivor’ decisions.” He said it would be “an entire season centered around the bad decisions of past players using the actual haunted advantages and idols that did them in.” While most fans love the concept of exploring past relics at Ghost Island, the actual execution seems to be lacking. Simply put, Ghost Island doesn’t seem to be affecting the game at all.

Wednesday on Episode 6 of “Survivor: Ghost Island,” the Naviti and Malolo tribes will be mixed up for the second time this season.

“Survivor” fans, is Ghost Island a bust? Specifically, we’re talking about the twist itself and not the overall 36th season of CBS’s reality TV show. In fact, this season’s cast makes for great TV and we can’t wait to see how next week’s second tribe swap will shake things up. But the twist of having castaways visit Ghost Island where they’re supposed to come face to face with the mistakes of past players hasn’t really panned out as fans hoped it would. Let us know your thoughts on Ghost Island by voting down in our poll.

According to Gold Derby’s exclusive predictions, Brooklyn, New York resident Chris Noble will be voted out of “Survivor” following his brief stint at Ghost Island. After last week’s tribe swap, Chris remained on the Naviti tribe along with original members Morgan Ricke, Domenick Abbate, Wendell Holland and Angela Perkins. The four Malolo players who joined them were Donathan Hurley, Laurel Johnson, James Lim and Libby Vincek. If our predictions hold true that Chris is headed home, does that mean Domenick, Wendell and/or Angela abandon their old Naviti tribal lines and join up with the Malolo castaways?

Is the “Survivor” legacy advantage actually cursed? That’s what we asked Morgan Ricke following her elimination from the third episode of “Survivor: Ghost Island.” “You know, I’ve said all along I don’t believe in curses. But Sierra Dawn Thomas opened her mouth, so it was cursed. And then Jacob Derwin opened his mouth and told Stephanie, so it was cursed. So you know what? I kept my mouth closed. Everyone keeps telling everyone about this advantage, so we’ll all see together if I was able to reverse the curse by keeping my mouth shut for once.” Listen to our “Survivor” exit interview podcast above.
Curse or no curse, Morgan’s ultimate downfall was the dreaded tribe swap. Despite the fact that her new Naviti tribe had a numbers advantage of 5-4, her tribe mate Chris Noble got sent to Ghost Island which made them even at...
