Donathan Hurley is a caretaker and a castaway from Survivor: Ghost Island and was a member of the Malolo tribe.
Early on he found himself a bit of an outsider on the Malolo tribe, but quickly bonded with Laurel, whom he connected with and made an alliance with. With the obvious target for the first boot gone at Ghost Island (Jacob), Donathan found himself in the hot seat when Gonzalez tried to campaign for him to go instead of her; she was unsuccessful and Donathan survived, with Stephanie J helping campaign for her to go instead. Malolo continued to lose, but Donathan was spared when Naviti chose him to go to Ghost Island during the second Tribal Council.
On Day 7, he and Laurel were swapped to the new Naviti tribe, initially in the minority. He and Laurel teamed up with Wendell and Domenick, forming a final 4 pact. He also bonded with Chris over coffee and their Southern roots. He joined the tribe in blindsiding Morgan at the first tribal council as a new tribe. Naviti continued their immunity streak and Donathan remained on Naviti during a second tribe shake up on Day 10. Unfortunately, his winning streak ended, but he joined the others, including Domenick, in blindsiding Bradley.
At the merge, Donathan and Domenick reunited with Laurel and Wendell, who were sent away day 10 to Yanuya. They kept their alliance lowkey, with the Navitis letting Don and Laurel in on the plan. Several opportunities emerged for Donathan to turn on Dom and Wendell, who both had Idols and became increasingly bigger targets, however, Laurel did not want to turn yet. With the help of Michael, Donathan found the super Idol from Survivor: Kaoh Rong, which Jenna also knew about. Jenna tried to convince Donathan to play the Idol on her, only for him to use it on himself and for her to go home, negating her vote against him. Donathan was targeted shortly after, with the votes even tying between him and Kellyn at camp, with Kellyn going home during the revote. Donathan started running his mouth more around Tribal and camp, throwing out “truth bombs” and calling them out at camp. Donathan tried to blindside Domenick with Sebastian’s extra vote, only for Dom to manipulate Sebastian not to, with Seb getting voted out. Donathan continued receiving votes at the subsequent tribals. Having jumped ship, Donathan was unanimously voted out 4-0 against Laurel, whose vote from Donathan was canceled out with an Idol played by Dom. He became the 16th person voted out and the 9th member of the jury on Day 37. As a juror, he voted for Wendell over his close ally Laurel, whom he feels didn’t play big enough moves.
At the reunion, Donathan was needlessly given $10,000 by pop singer Sia. He spent some of those earnings on a cruise for him and his “second family” (Survivor family?). He was a member of his high school dance team, which won a national title in 2006, where he specialized in hip hop dancing. He also sings and was a gymnast. Donathan was only the 6th Survivor castaway from the state of Kentucky, after Rodger Bingham (The Australian Outback, 5th place), Sandy Burgin (Tocantins, 13th place), Jefra Bland (Cagayan, 7th place), Caleb Reynolds (Kaoh Rong & Game Changers, pre-merge), and Jessica Johnston (HHH, 12th place). He and Rodger were tied for the highest placing Kentuckians until Nick Wilson was crowned the winner of Survivor: David vs. Goliath https://media.giphy.com/media/5YAUWUkyVezt7Bj2d6/giphy.gif
