Welcome to Survivor Palau! This is the eighth season in the BigBen Survivor franchise which featured eighteen new castaways competing yet again for the title of Sole Survivor. The CBS version of Survivor Palau was one of my favorite season’s when I first started watching Survivor. Naturally, I decided to use towards my series and that I still cannot really make logos for the life of me. Unlike, the original “Survivor Palau” there was no instant tribal where two people were voted out immediately and there were also idols featured on this version (plenty of variations). Anyways, I expect the lot of ya are ready for the Sydney (Guigi) origin story and this is one of the season’s that I knew that I was going to hate writing about.

PreMerge
------------
This should be fun reminiscing about the moments of Trae as that was legitimately the entire premerge. He was quite a character but let us hope other’s rise to the occasion on the rewatch. Regardless, it should be an interesting ride as I am not as familiar with a lot of the cast. It’s time to pray that I don’t give up writing about a season that was rather on the “meh” spectrum.
Final 18 – Ulong wins immunity! This challenge was “Pass the Torch” but had a twist where the last person holding the torch would be immune on the losing tribe. In that event, Zyler won immunity who could have been an easy boot based on potential inactivity. Brien is the only person to get confessionals in the episode as he starts his conquest in wanting to get John out. He feels that he has Jack, Noah, Sydney, and potentially Zyler and is fear this could turn into a color level hierarchy society. Noah declines in wanting John out and then Brien aims for trying to get Mike out. Brien’s objective was to make Brien and John both feel they had to vote the other. That failed miserably as Noah and Sydney supposedly ratted out his plans and things went onto Jack who was one of Brien’s closer confidants and the person who passed to Zyler the lone inactive. At tribal council, Zyler self-voted while having immunity and the rest of the tribe voted Jack in a 7-1-1 vote. Jack voted for Brien for being a complete mess which was fair. Also, the next RickStone…

Final 17 – Koror wins immunity! There was a lot more clarity on the last tribal in this episode. Apparently, Jack and Jon wanted to go for Noah..
