4. Donathan Hurley
Another great episode of Survivor Ghost Island for Donathan, even though it does come through the lens of a group effort. With Michael on the chopping block, he went off with him to search for an idol and stumbled upon Scot Pollard’s Survivor Kaoh Rong half of the Super Idol, necessitating him to retrieve the other half at camp. He required the help of his friends to get the other half.
It’s emblematic of his season so far, having others help guide him through the game as he comes to better understand who he is. Thankfully, he saw that he didn’t need to play it for Michael, and helped weaken the Naviti numbers in the goal of getting closer to that magic number required to flip the majority (alongside Laurel, Domenick and Wendell).
Though he’s been perceived as a goat through the edit, players should be wary of a Donathan that knows where his allegiances lie and hasn’t had to blow up his game. It’s been steadily climbing ever since he was almost voted out on Day 3.
