36 days ago 18 new castaways landed in Caracol, Belize; with one goal in mind.....to become the SOLE SURVIVOR!
The game began with The 18 castaways being split into two Tribes of 9.....
*Camera pans as Two trucks with 9 castaways in the back of each truck arrive - The castaways jump down from the trucks and take place on the mats before me*
I want you all to look from right to left! These people are the only thing keeping you from the Title of Sole Survivor! You will live together; compete together; and some may fall together. But, we will crown a new winner at the end of 39 days! How about we get to Introductions! I'm sure everyone would like to get to meet their Tribes!
Moving onto the Season Twist; castaways learned that there would be no Idols hidden at camp. Instead; every castaway was given Half an Amulet. Getting two Halves of an Amulet gained you an Immunity Idol. Castaways were forced to adapt to the Twist of having only half an Amulet. But, the Twists didn't end there! After each Tribal Council; the voted out castaway would have the chance to leave their Amulet to any castaway remaining in the game. This caused for sporadic gameplay and several blindsides in the game.
Falconbait26/Eve M.
"My cheesus"
Duke/Dan B.
"Crazy twist"
marthean/Nano M.
"I like the twist"
After all was said; both tribe's competed in the first INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGE of the season....
yinzer149/Leo S.
"woah"
levonini/Andrew C.
"oooooo"
noah_kondon/Noah K.
"oh leggo"
Sunfire/Jorge H.
"Well, that's unfortunate..."
The first challenge gave an opportunity for two castaways to earn Individual Immunity as Andrew C. and Eve M.; both members of Tikal earned safety for themselves. ANDREW C. and EVE M. WIN INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!
levonini/Andrew C.
"YAY Grats Eve"
Falconbait26/Eve M.
*High Fives*
During the Double Tribal Council; one player was pulled from the game; sparing the Naranjo Tribe....
SOMATS/Grant Q.
"Wow. Crazy!"
Over at Tikal; a scattered vote made Niko H. the first boot of the game....
Host - "That is 4 votes Niko H. And tonight that is enough....
Your Tribe has spoken."
*Snuffs Torch*
In the next challenge; Tribe's competed for a wealthy life back at camp as they competed in the classic challenge "Rice Run"
Tikal won the challenge in an overwhelming upset. TIKAL WINS IMMUITY! This led Naranjo straight to Tribal Council where they were forced to vote out someone from their tribe for the first time. Zach T. was left out of the loop as he was blindsided by his entire tribe....
Host - "That's 5 votes; and this is a majority decision. Sorry Zach...
Your Tribe has spoken."
*Snuffs Torch*
ZachTansey/Zach T.
"Good blindside guys. No one ever talked to me, I was excited to play this...."
Following Zach's blindside; the Tribe's competed in a challenge of luck. Luck finally shined down on Naranjo as they sent Tikal to Tribal.... NARANJO WINS IMMUNITY!
As Tikal imploded; an emergency interrupted the game as Production hand to intervene......
*Production comes in and calls me over - my glance averts towards Chael S.*
I'm going to have to interrupt Tribal Council; I need a moment with Chael S. before we continue...
*Chael S. walks out with Production*
Now; I know everyone is probably wondering what just happened. I would like to let the Tikal tribe know that Chael S. has to leave the game due to unforeseen circumstances....
So with that; everyone must say goodbye to Chael S.. Chael S. will have the opportunity to leave his amulet half to anyone in the game. And Tribal Council will continue as planned.
Falconbait26/Eve M.
"OMG"
Sunfire/Jorge H.
"Wow. I didn't expect something serious like that."
As Tribal Council continued; a divided tribe made for an intense result as the first Idol was played of the season. Roman V. correctly nullified 3 votes saving himself from being voted out.
dwallz26/Roman V.
*Roman walks over and hands me a carved-object*
"I ain't finished playing just yet. Had to be safe"
In a divided vote; a worthy competitor in Eve M. was blindsided.
Host - "I'm sorry Eve. But, your tribe has spoken."
*Snuffs Torch*
Falconbait26/Eve M.
"Roman, I hope you leave real soon and the rest of u.... No words, but, good luck."
With two tribe members down. Noah K. took it upon himself to carry the Tikal tribe to another win sending Naranjo back to Tribal. TIKAL WINS IMMUNITY!
During the vote; Idol paranoia began to take it's course. A scattered vote could have sent anyone home; but, it was ultimately Evan S. who met his fate....
Host - "That's 4 votes; and tonight that is a majority.
Your Tribe has spoken. "
*Snuffs Torch*
Ramanik/Kamani W.
"No hard feelings for the two voters...."
Following the vote off of Evan; both Tikal and Naranjo MERGED! The 12 remaining castaways dropped their buffs and were garnished new Gold Buffs. The new merged Tribe name was Caana; which meant "Sky Temple" With the tribe's merging with 6 original Tikal and 6 original Naranjo Tribe members; it led to an interesting merge.
During the 1st Individual challenge of the merge; castaways blindly tossed coconuts in opposing castaway's baskets. The castaway with the least amount of coconuts in their basket walked away with Immunity. With not a single castaway making an attempt to score a basket on him; it was Roman who walked away with safety for the first vote. ROMAN WINS INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!
This led to one of the most intense Tribal Council's this series has seen to date as 4 Idols were played - and all went to waste as Jorge H. became the 1st member of the Jury.....
Host - "Jorge H.
I'm sorry; but, your Tribe has spoken."
*Snuffs Torch*
Ramanik/Kamani W.
"I'm like shocked right now that was intense."
During the following challenge; castaways were surprised with the Survivor Auction. Leo S. purchased Individual Immunity. However; he did not participate at Tribal Council as he also; purchased a Dinner for 3 at the Auction. He took Nano M. and Qaz W. along with; exempting all three of them from Tribal Council. With only 8 votes at Tribal Council. Noah K. wasted his third Idol of the season and Andrew C. was blindsided becoming the 2nd member of the Jury....
Host - "Andrew C. That's 5 votes and tonight; that is the majority.
Your tribe has spoken."
*Snuffs Torch*
dwallz26/Roman V.
*lets out sigh of relief*
Following Andrew's vote off; we seen the castaways participate in a strategic challenge. It came down to three survivors as the challenge came to a close; however, it was Grant Q. who walked away with the necklace. GRANT Q. WINS INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!
With both Grant Q. and Leo S. immune at Tribal Council; we seen the 1st member of the Original Naranjo tribe blindsided as Noah K. wasted another Idol at Tribal Council. In an attempt to secure the numbers; Nano M. played an Extra vote that he purchased at the Auction. As Tribal continued, it was Kamani W. that became the 3rd member of the Jury....
Host - "Kamani W.
I'm very sorry. But, your tribe has spoken."
*Snuffs torch*
AlaskanFireDragon/AFD "Fire Dragon"
*Reveals my own vote*
*It was for Kamani*
" Have fun burning in hell snake!"
noah_kondon/Noah K.
*winks at Andrew on jury*
This brought the game down to single digits as 9 castaways competed in a challenge that could affect loyalties and friendships within the game. As the challenge progressed; karma took a quick turn in eliminating players who did well in the challenge. It was Dan B. who outlasted everyone in the challenge. DAN B. WINS INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!
At Tribal Council; the remaining castaways devised a plan to split votes and get rid of Idol threat Noah K. Leo S. wasted an Idol feeling unsafe. But, the plan to split votes had worked as Noah K. played his 5th Idol on his closest ally "Fire Dragon" - This was the first Idol play that Noah played correctly. However, saving his ally; cost Noah K. his game as he became the 4th member of the Jury.....
noah_kondon/Noah K. - *as the votes are being read*
*Laughs*
"They split votes"
Host - "Noah K.
I'm very sorry. Your tribe has spoken."
*Snuffs Torch*
Qazwdxedc/Qaz W.
*winks at Kamani*
Duke/Dan B.
"Wow, this has been a wild game"
With, Idol threat Noah K. voted out of the game. Castaways competed in a challenge where they had to fill their buckets with Karma. First to fill their bucket would earn themselves a 1 and 7 shot at winning the game. Surprising everyone; JOSH Q. WINS INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!
With 8 castaways remaining in the game; we seen the most divided vote of the season. Two groups of 4 were looking to force rocks; but, when it looked like no one would budge on the vote. Two castaways switched their vote worrying that the risk of being rocked out of the game for an ally wasn't worth the risk of their own game. This sent Leo S. out of the game on the re-vote. With the flip; Leo S. became the 5th member of the Jury....
Host - "Leo S.
I'm very sorry; but, your tribe has spoken."
*Snuffs Torch*
Duke/Dan B.
*claps hands*
"Got him. Whew that's was close to rocks"
Qazwdxedc/Qaz W.
*Looks sad*
With 7 castaways remaining and Individual Immunity becoming more valuable. Qaz took it upon himself to winning the next challenge. Castaways competed in a new challenge introduced to the series known as "Temple Run" - castaways had to find their puzzle in the temple and make their way out of the temple. First to complete their puzzle would win a 1 and 6 shot at the title. With sheer determination; QAZ W. WINS INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!
At Tribal Council; tensions ran high as Josh Q/. wasted an Immunity Idol in exchange for safety from the vote. Josh received no votes as a near unanimous vote sent AFD "Fire Dragon" out of the game; making him the 6th member of the Jury.....
Host - "Fire Dragon
That's 4 votes. And tonight; that is a majority. Your Tribe has spoken."
*Snuffs Torch*
marthean/Nano M.
"Bye AFD :("
Following the vote off of Nano's closest ally; he felt he needed Immunity to guarantee himself a spot in the Finale Episode. He ended up in a sudden death battle of Endurance between him and Josh Q. The battle lasted 3 and 1/2 hours; but, Nano prevailed! NANO WINS INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!
At Tribal Council; 5 castaways were vulnerable. The vote ultimately came down to who was the biggest Jury threat of the remaining castaways. In a subtle Tribal Council; Grant's journey fell short of making the Finale Episode as he became the 7th member of the Jury.....
Host - "Grant Q.
I'm very sorry. 4 votes is a majority tonight. Your tribe has spoken."
*Snuffs Torch*
dwallz26/Roman V.
*sigh of relief*
"Thank you everybody"
Duke/Dan B.
"Sorry Grant. You played a hell of a game"
Host - "And with that; 5 are left. Every single castaway remaining has outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted 13 others to make it to this point. Congratulations to the remaining 5 castaways. Everyone is heading to the Finale Episode. But, don't celebrate just yet; there is two challenges and two Tribal Councils before the Jury gets their turn to vote in this game. They will be voting for a winner. Head on back to camp Caana! 5 are left; and only one will be Crowned Sole Survivor of Caracol!"
marthean/Nano M.
*Grabs Torch*
*Head back to camp*
And now we’re left with an unpredictable Final Five who have made moves with H.I Immunity Idols, backstabbing, and complex strategy that it can be ANYONE's game.
Monday night, the game wraps up. The Final Five seeks its way to victory and one of them will become the SOLE SURVIVOR claiming the title for S4 Survivor Caracol -
Will it be Dan B! An Original member of Naranjo; Dan has played an aggressive game while still managing to keep himself from targeted. The game is Outwit, Outplay, Outlast and Dan has proved that he can do just that. He is just two challenges away from sitting at the Final Tribal Council.....
Or will it be Josh Q! An Original member of Naranjo; Josh has played an UTR game; a social game. This put him into a position of power for most of the game; not having to worry about being targeted. Can he maneuver his way to the Final Tribal Council; or will he fall short....
Or will it be Nano M! An original member of Tikal. Once; the merge hit; Tikal lost two members putting Nano in the minority for most of the merge. His Immunity win got him to the Final 5. There are only two Tribal Councils left before he gets his chance to speak in front of the Jury.....
Or will it be Qaz W! An Original member of Naranjo; Qaz also played a social and UTR game. Outlasting 13 other castaways before him; he is just in reach of the title! He has done what he has needed in this game. Question is; will he be sitting at the FTC or with the Jury....
Or will it be Roman V! An Original member of Tikal; Roman has played a very vocal game. This put him into the minority of his Original tribe. Once the merge hit; Roman played the Individual game for himself. Being a White Leveled user put him at a disadvantage in reaching out to people and certain challenges. But, it didn't stop him from working his way to the Final 5!
It all ends MONDAY NIGHT - LIVE @ 5pm EST

There will be 2 Back-to-back challenges that will determine our Jury of 9; and more importantly....Our Final 3! I'll explain today's challenge......
Come on in everyone! Grant Q. voted out at Last night's Tribal Council. First; I'll take back the necklace from Nano M! For today's challenge you will need to move swiftly if you want to come out on top as we are closing in on the Final Tribal Council. Today's challenge is called....
"Race to Immunity"
I have hidden 4 sets of #'s on the very 1st blog of 4 different people's blogs on my friends list - Your job is simple; Find the 4 blogs and post them in this forum! Once you have done that, you will use the 4 sets of #'s you found in these blogs as a combination to unlock your puzzle pieces. - MAIL ME THE COMBINATION - I will let you know as quick as possible if you are correct and how many #'s are in the correct place - Once you have successfully guessed the correct combination; I will mail you a scramble which you will have to solve and post in the forum. First person to post the finished unscrambled phrase in this forum wins Individual Immunity and will have a 1 and 4 shot at making the FTC. Tonight; someone becomes the 8th member of the Jury!
Please ask any questions before we begin. We will begin once you are all ready.....
Come on in Caana! We will now bring in our members of the Jury; Sunfire - Jorge H., levonini - Andrew C., Ramanik - Kamani W., noah_kondon - Noah K., yinzer149 - Leo S., AlaskanFireDragon - AFD "Fire Dragon" and........ SOMATS - Grant Q. voted out at Last night's Tribal Council. Grab a torch on your way in and dip it in the fire. In this game fire represents your life. As long as your torch is burning you are still alive in this game. Tonight; one of you becomes the Eighth member of the Jury. QAZ has Individual Immunity and CANNOT be voted for. Everyone else is fair game......
Duke - Dan B. - How would it feel to make the Finale Episode; to only get cut short of making FTC?
JMez2612 - Josh Q. - Tonight is the last time an Immunity Idol can be played. What are the odds of seeing one played tonight?
marthean - Nano M. - This has been an intense game. Only one can be crowned the Sole Survivor at the end of this game. Out of the remaining castaways; do you think there's a clear threat to win?
@Qazwdxedc - Qaz W. - Congrats on Individual Immunity! This win guarantees you a chance to fight for a spot in the Final Tribal Council. What's going on in your mind at this exact moment?
@dwallz26 - Roman V. - Looking at the Jury; how would it feel knowing that you could be sitting next to them after tonight's vote?
Please vote ASAP. You will be given 20 minutes to cast your vote! If you do not vote by the deadline - you will receive a self-vote! I will read the votes once everyone has cast their votes!
The biggest threat to win so far is Josh., He has a lot friends on the jury. I'm not going home tonight. Here the immunity Idol that I have https://gyazo.com/c8aa720681350326e033e752930539c1 I will give it to you before we even vote
Dan B. - Truth is; someone's heart will break once the votes are read. With 5 votes remaining and Nano presenting an Idol. Does this make tonight's vote difficult?
Josh Q. - You seem to be a clear threat to win. If tonight was your last night; would you have any final words to the remaining castaways?
If it is my final night, then congrats, you outplayed me. I am not a threat to win, because literally if Nano makes the final 3 then he has 4 people lined up to vote for him. He only needs one more to have majority.
Qaz W. - You're the 1st person to win Individual Immunity for a 2nd time this game. There is one challenge left before the Jury of nine is decided. Do you think that without Immunity; you'd be sitting with the Jury tonight?
Josh you have been a great player, I'm not going to say anything negative about you. It been fun playing with you. We don't know how the jury thinks. My opinion is the jury decide when they get the answers from the people who are left at the end
Well; Qaz is immune; and Nano presented an Immunity Idol. Let's see what's about to happen here tonight. I'll go tally the votes.......
*returns with urn*
Once the votes are read the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately where they will become the 8th member of the Jury.
If anybody has a Hidden Immunity Idol and would like to play it; now would be the time to do so....
And a unanimous vote sends Jury threat Josh to Ponderosa to join the remaining Jurors! What a way to go out! One challenge stands before the remaining 4 castaways before the Final 3 is decided. Grab your torches and head back to camp Caana! Next challenge will be posted shortly!
