Survivor Ghost Island power rankings episode 9: Sluggers

6. Donathan Hurley

Though he’s stuck in the middle of two factions, Donathan is still underrated in terms of someone who can get out Naviti players. He hasn’t shown strategic prowess or physical ability in the game, but he’s maintained strong social skills and is quite agreeable with everyone. Nobody wants to vote him out because he’s a lovely, agreeable person, too, and he is responsible for that.

He’s also in an alliance with two of the strongest players in the game, even if most of the strategic communication comes through Laurel as a mediator. At this stage, he’s not on anyone’s radar, he’s not pissing anyone off, he’s going to vote with the flow and let others take each other out.

There will come a time when he becomes a jury threat for being so likable, not having blood on his hands and for his personal journey, but now is that that time. Now is the time for us to enjoy his biggest adventure in life as one of the fan-favorite characters of the season.
