(+/-) Steve Wright ~ S22: Redemption Island

18thOct 12, 2016 by BlueBarracuda

Steve was yet another former NFL player to play Survivor, appearing on Redemption Island where he was part of the Zapatera 6 alliance, who were the first ones ever to vote out Russell. Due to a losing streak, Steve entered the merge in the minority and became the 13th person voted out on Day 30 and the 9th eliminated, becoming the 3rd jury member.

• Placement: 10th out of 18 | Challenge Wins: 3 | Votes Against: 9 | Days Lasted: 31
• Initially, Steve and Krista were the only ones who were welcoming to Russell being part of their tribe on Day 1
• Eventually, distrust grew against Russell, who already formed an alliance, so a counter-alliance including Steve formed called the Zapatera 6
• When Steve and David were the only ones who attended the Redemption Island duel, they decided to lie and tell Russell Francesca won, in order to throw him off
• Steve helped push for his alliance to throw the challenge to take out Russell, which worked, although it lost their momentum and his tribe would go on a losing streak
• With Russell gone, his allies alienated themselves and wanted to target Steve for his lack of help at camp and in challenges; he confronted Stephanie about her vote and he called it yet another dumb move by her, and she would follow Krista out the door
• Steve and his allies entered the merge in the minority and despite their attempts to convince Matt and Andrea to flip and vote Grant, but they decided to stay loyal; Matt believed Steve was going home and voted for him, but Matt himself was blindsided
• Despite Mike being eliminated and Steve himself in danger, he decided to eat burgers, fries, and Coke rather than compete for immunity, which almost led the others to vote him, but they decided to go with David in the end
• Steve, Julie, and Ralph ate the remainder of Ometepe’s rice, and Steve refused to let Ometepe use their rice bin, causing an argument between Steve and Phillip
• Steve called Phillip crazy, which Phillip tried to argue was racist
• Although they tried to get Phillip voted out over his antics, but Julie went home instead; at tribal Steve apologized, but Phillip thought his apology was self-serving
• In a final act, Steve and Ralph tried to convince the girls in voting for Rob with them, but to no avail, and Steve was voted out; physically exhausted, Steve lost his first Duel unable to compete
• According to Jeff Probst, Steve threw his Redemption Island Duel
• Steve congratulated Natalie and Rob at FTC and said he felt sorry for Phillip; he voted for Rob to win
• His former NFL team mate Gary Hogeboom competed 11 seasons earlier on Survivor: Guatemala
• He was the oldest member of Zapatera and the fifth-tallest contestant to ever compete on Survivor @ 6’6’’ (at the time of airing, he was the third, behind Mitch from Australia and Ian from Palau – he became the fifth after former professional athletes Cliff Robinson of Cagayan and Scot Pollard of Kaoh Rong played).

If you like the castaway, plus (+), if you don't, neg (-). Use your own criteria. Make sure you vote in all the polls on the blogs to the left. Let me know if you want to be tagged (or untagged).
