Edge of Extinction
List of episodes

Survivor: Island of the Idols is the 39th season of the American competitive reality television series Survivor, airing on CBS in the United States and Global in Canada. This season was announced by CBS on May 15, 2019, the same day as the Survivor: Edge of Extinction finale.[2] The season premiered with a 90-minute episode on September 25, 2019.[3] The live season finale and reunion is planned to air on December 18, 2019.[4][5] This was the seventh consecutive season (eighth overall) to be filmed in Fiji.

Sandra Diaz-Twine, winner of Survivor: Pearl Islands and Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, and "Boston Rob" Mariano, winner of Survivor: Redemption Island returned to the game as mentors living on the Island of the Idols, but were not competing for the million-dollar prize themselves.[6] Instead, Diaz-Twine and Mariano would host a contestant each episode and give them a lesson on how to survive on Survivor. They also gave the contestant a chance to win an advantage, but if they failed, they would lose their vote at their next Tribal Council.[7]

Production

According to host Jeff Probst, the idea to bring back past champions as mentors came from "wondering how to get a player like Boston Rob, who has said he'd never compete again because he doesn't feel he'd ever really have a shot to win, to return to the show."[8] The two mentors will be surviving similarly to the contestants on a separate part of the island, though they will have better initial supplies and more time for constructing their shelter and feeding themselves; the other players were not aware of Rob or Sandra's participation prior to the start of the game.[6]

The mentor's island has two large wooden busts of their heads, which the arriving survivor will first see when they arrive on the mentor's island before they are greeted by the mentors. After arrival, the mentors explain to the survivor that they are not playing the game and are ineligible to win the million dollar prize nor contribute to any Tribal Council vote. Instead, they teach the survivor in a critical skill in the game (making fire, listening to others, etc.) and then offer the survivor a challenge against one or both of them based on that skill. Winning the challenge can offer a reward such as an immunity idol, while losing the challenge means they will lose their vote at the next Tribal Council they attend (though this is not revealed to the other players; a survivor without their vote will still go to the voting area when called during Tribal Council but does not write anything down). The survivor does not have to take this challenge but otherwise leaves with no added benefits. Before leaving, the survivor draws a name of a member of the opposing tribe from a bag, turning it over to the mentors without looking at it. That person will be next sent to the island after the subsequent challenge. Besides their role on the Island of the Idols, Rob and Sandra secretly attend each Tribal Council in a hideaway, allowing them to listen in as the events go on.

Island of the Idols is the first season to feature one castaway who has Canadian citizenship (Tom Laidlaw), as the casting process opened for Canadians in mid-2018.[9] Canadian citizens had been ineligible to compete on the show previously as, according to Probst, the limitation was due to the rights that Mark Burnett and CBS had on the Survivor format limiting to contestants with American citizenship.[10] While Survivor had contestants with dual citizenship at the time of application, such as Survivor: China winner Todd Herzog, they were required to give up their Canadian citizenship to claim their prize money.[11][12]

Episode eight presented a situation in which Kellee Kim, who had expressed concern about questionably-inappropriate contact that had been made by Dan Spilo, which had been ongoing since the first episode. After the tribes had merged earlier in the episode, Kellee was able to speak to Missy Byrd (they had been on separate tribes until that point) and confirmed some of their shared concerns about Dan's behavior. As such, production become much more involved in the situation for the first time through Survivor's history, explaining to Kellee on-screen that she should let them know if Dan crossed any lines, and later, via on-screen message, stated that production sat down with the collective tribe to talk about the situation, and separately warned Dan about his behavior. According to Probst, once Kellee and Missy spoke to confirm their concerns about Dan, production contacted CBS to determine what they should do, resulting in both the group and individual meetings between the remaining castaways and production.[13] Kellee was voted off in the first part of the episode and joined the jury, but the discussion around Dan's actions continued into the second half and the next Tribal Council. Dan's behavior toward Kellee was still a major issue at this point, and while Probst said they had considered the option of letting Kellee speak to Dan from the jury, she and production agreed to have her to remain silent as set by the game rules. For the remainder of the season, Probst said that they continued to monitor the situation daily, with the production staff performing individual interviews with players keeping abreast of any concerns or issues related to the situation and reminding contestants to report anything they feel uncomfortable about to production immediately.[13] The situation was considered the first time that the Me Too movement had entered into Survivor.[13]

Contestants

Notable contestants from this season include Tom Laidlaw, a retired National Hockey League defenceman, Elizabeth Beisel, an Olympic swimmer, and Ronnie Bardah, a professional poker player.[14]

5691"I Vote You Out and That's It"1.3/6[16]18[17]September 25, 2019 (2019-09-25)6.29[16]

The two tribes, Lairo and Vokai, were dropped off at their camps with no introduction by Jeff, and several members wondered about the "Island of the Idols" theme. At Lairo, Tom bonded with Elaine and Vince, and the other seven members agreed to align against them. Missy felt more secure in aligning with the women, so she told Elaine her name had been mentioned for elimination. Elaine's sense of humor caught the attention of her tribemates, especially Ronnie; he proceeded to propose an alliance with her, but she distrusted him.

At Vokai, Janet led the tribe in making fire without flint. Jason quickly began searching for an idol, but Molly and Dan noted his absence from camp and targeted him. Jack bonded with Tommy, who subsequently bonded with several of his other tribemates. Kellee and Molly were put off by Dan's "touchy" behavior, voicing their concerns to Janet. Dan and Kellee later smoothed things over, though Kellee was still wary of Dan.

  • Reward/Immunity Challenge: Tribe members climbed over a net and slid down a slide. One tribe member then used a grappling hook to lower a bridge. On the other side, the tribemates formed a human ladder for one person to drop two ropes, so that the rest of the tribe could meet them on top of the tower. There, three tribe members had to solve a village puzzle. The first tribe to assemble their puzzle correctly won immunity and flint.

Vokai ran away with the victory during the puzzle portion of the challenge. Jeff had a Lairo member randomly draw the name of a tribemate to be sent to the Island of the Idols; Elaine drew Elizabeth's name. Jeff also said Elizabeth would return in time for Tribal Council that night. At the Island of the Idols, an excited Elizabeth was greeted by Boston Rob and Sandra, who taught her how to make fire. Elizabeth made fire after struggling, then accepted an offer to take on Rob in a fire-making challenge for an idol good at the next two Tribal Councils. Elizabeth lost the duel and therefore, her vote as well. Before she left, Rob and Sandra told her to randomly draw a Vokai member's name (which remained unrevealed) to be the next visitor to the Island of the Idols.

Back at camp, Chelsea conferred with Elaine, Tom, and Vince, who targeted Ronnie. Elaine was targeted by some of the other tribe members, but after pledging her loyalty to them, Aaron targeted Vince instead. Elizabeth returned to camp and withheld the information about Rob and Sandra, as well as the fact that she lost her vote. At Tribal Council, Rob and Sandra watched the proceedings from a concealed alcove; Elaine continued to plead her case, while Ronnie made a case for tribe strength. Ultimately, Ronnie was blindsided by the rest of his tribe, sans Aaron and Elizabeth (the latter of whom cast no vote), becoming the first person eliminated from the game.

5702"YOLO, Let's Play!"1.2/6[18]22[19]October 2, 2019 (2019-10-02)6.57[18]

The aftermath of Lairo's first Tribal Council was tense, with Vince questioning why he received votes and Aaron expressing frustration about being left out of the loop. Missy reassured him that he would be safe, but Aaron was skeptical. The following day, Chelsea stumbled upon an idol while gathering firewood. At Vokai, Noura's quirky behavior was a concern to her tribemates, while Jack, Jamal, and Molly were tightly aligned. A boat came in to pick up Kellee for Island of the Idols, as her name had been drawn by Elizabeth previously. Upon arriving, Kellee was greeted by Rob and Sandra, who told her more about themselves and said that her test would determine how well she paid attention socially. Rob offered Kellee an idol good for two Tribal Councils if she could correctly answer 4 of 5 questions; her hesitance made Rob offer the idol for 3 councils if she could get 3 of 5 right. Kellee ultimately won the challenge, but at camp, she also kept Rob and Sandra a secret in favor of a lie about a choice between urns.

  • Reward/Immunity Challenge: The teams swam to the ocean floor to release a ladder. They had to use it for a respective teammate to climb up and unhook a bag containing three balls. Once ashore, the tribe used the ladder as a bridge to a table, where one member had to land all 3 balls into targets. The first tribe to do so won immunity and spices.

Lairo won the challenge. The vote initially was a toss-up between Jason and Noura; Molly wanted Noura gone first, but Jamal saw Jason as a more dangerous player. Lauren saw an opportunity to target Molly for her perceived social prowess, roping in several tribe members, though Tommy was reluctant to make waves at the tribe's first vote. At Tribal Council, Jason and Noura both pled for their tribemates to spare them, and ultimately, Jack and Jamal were left stunned as a blindsided Molly was sent out of the game.

5713"Honesty Would Be Chill"1.2/6[20]23[21]October 9, 2019 (2019-10-09)6.51[20]

Now in the minority of Vokai, Jack tried to reintegrate with his tribemates, while Jamal attempted to shift the target off himself by targeting Dan, though Janet grew wary of Jamal's scrambling. At Lairo, the men were wary of a women's alliance and attempted to align with Vince, who secretly wasn't on board. Karishma, who wasn't as keen on the women's alliance, accidentally cut her hand with the machete and felt alienated from the tribe afterwards. A boat came to pick up Vince for Island of the Idols, and after Vince left, Dean openly suggested splitting the vote in case Vince were to find an idol, which made Karishma paranoid. At the Island of the Idols, Rob and Sandra tested Vince's ability to remain calm under pressure by challenging him to sneak into Vokai's camp after dark to light a torch from their fire without being caught. Vince accepted the challenge, but due to rain which had put out Vokai's fire, resorted to taking ash from the fire pit instead, which satisfied Rob and Sandra. Vince was given an immunity idol good for his next two Tribal Councils.

  • Reward/Immunity Challenge: One member from each tribe swam to a net to retrieve a key. This allowed their tribemates to meet them at a teeter-totter. Once up there, the tribes maintained their balance on the teeter while two members grabbed a bag of puzzle pieces on each side. They then used the key to unlock the remaining puzzle pieces inside a crate. The first tribe to solve the resulting fish puzzle won immunity plus comfort items and a tarp.

Vokai overtook Lairo in the puzzle to win the challenge. The women debated voting out Vince or Tom (due to wanting to keep Aaron and Dean around for challenges), while Vince told a paranoid Karishma to vote against Tom. At Tribal Council, Karishma whispered to some of her tribemates but was called out by Tom. Vince brought his idol but didn't play it, and the women stuck together to send him out of the game.

5724"Plan Z"1.4/7[22]17[23]October 16, 2019 (2019-10-16)6.91[22]

After narrowly surviving the vote, Karishma was still uneasy about her position in the tribe, while Aaron and Missy were concerned about a potential power couple in Dean and Chelsea. At Vokai, Jamal searched for an idol while his tribemates were occupied, which he eventually found. Unlike the previous visits to Island of the Idols, Vokai had to come to a unanimous agreement on who to send, or else the tribe would randomly draw a name. Noura eventually volunteered; upon arriving, Rob and Sandra gave her a chance to prove her powers of persuasion by explaining the next immunity challenge would have one tribe member call out directions to others who would all be blindfolded; their challenge to Noura was to persuade her tribe to make her the caller. If successful, she would gain an advantage to block a tribemate from voting, or otherwise would lose her vote. She agreed instantly, but upon returning to camp, her disjointed explanations of why she should be the caller created distrust among the tribe.

  • Reward/Immunity Challenge: One castaway from each tribe was their caller, directing their blindfolded tribemates to collect keys by pulling down a bucket of water. Once all three keys have been collected, the caller brought their tribe to a puzzle; they directed one blindfolded tribemate to solve the puzzle. The first to do so for their tribe won immunity plus an assortment of baked goods and caffeinated accessories (the reward component was not shown in the episode).

Vokai had Noura sit out. Lairo nearly came from way behind, but a mistake in the puzzle proved costly, and Vokai won the challenge. Aaron tried to convince his tribemates to vote out Dean to break up the "power couple", but several others wanted to vote out Karishma. Missy sensed that some of them were scared to turn on Dean so quickly, so she proposed voting out Chelsea instead. At Tribal Council, Missy's plan worked; Chelsea didn't play her idol and was blindsided with it in her pocket.

5735"Don't Bite the Hand That Feeds You"1.3/6[24]21[25]October 23, 2019 (2019-10-23)6.82[24]

Dean questioned his tribemates over Chelsea's blindside, eventually deducing it was Missy who orchestrated the vote. Upon arriving at a challenge site, the tribes were randomly reshuffled; the new Lairo tribe consisted of Dean, Jack, Jamal, Janet, Karishma, Kellee, Noura, and Tom, while the new Vokai tribe consisted of Aaron, Dan, Elaine, Elizabeth, Jason, Lauren, Missy, and Tommy.

  • Reward Challenge: Tribemates' arms and legs were bound together as they made their way over a sand hump. Over the hump were two more tribemates to repeat the process on two occasions. Once all three pairs finished the course, the last two tribemates completed a vertical fire puzzle. The first tribe to finish their puzzle won an Applebee's feast.

Vokai continued their challenge dominance even with new members. At Lairo, Dean and Tom respectively bonded with Kellee and Janet, while Karishma eagerly pled her loyalty to the five Vokai members. At Vokai, Elaine and Missy fake-fought to entertain their new tribemates, while Aaron bonded with Tommy in hopes that it would break the 4-4 stalemate in the tribe.

  • Immunity Challenge: Castaways swam out to a giant ladder jutting out over the water, climbed it, leapt into the water, and dove down to retrieve buoys. They used the buoys to score three baskets. The first team to score three baskets won immunity.

Vokai won immunity again. Dean and Tom were willing to cut Karishma due to her weakness in challenges, while Vokai debated voting out a threat in Dean or Tom, or preserving tribe strength with them. Noura had lost her vote from her unsuccessful test at Island of the Idols, but Vokai still had a 4-3 majority in the tribe. At Tribal Council, Dean was left out of another vote as Tom was sent out of the game.

5746"Suck It Up Buttercup"1.2/6[26]21[27]October 30, 2019 (2019-10-30)6.37[26]

Despite being in a 5-2 majority, Noura approached Dean about turning against Jack and Jamal, but Dean was wary of her eagerness to flip. At Vokai, Aaron told Jason he was ready to jump ship to avoid going to rocks.

  • Reward Challenge: Six members of each tribe pulled a sled with sandbags and one person on top. Once they are through the course, have collected a key, and unlocked a slingshot, the rider used it to knock down three targets. The first tribe to knock down all three targets won chickens.

Elaine was picked to sit out for Vokai, meaning she would also be sent to the Island of the Idols. Vokai won the challenge. At the Island, Elaine accepted Rob and Sandra's challenge before even hearing what it was. The two instructed her that she had to retrieve a vote-blocking advantage that was hidden at one of the stations at the upcoming immunity challenge without being caught; being caught or not retrieving the advantage would cause her to forfeit her vote at the next Tribal Council. At Lairo, Jack offhandedly mentioned the word "du-rag" in Jamal's presence, but immediately realized the ramifications of what he said. Jack offered an apology, which Jamal accepted.

  • Immunity Challenge: Tribes dug under a cage, then transported it while attempting to gather five balls. Upon finishing the course, they threw the balls into five targets. The first tribe to score all five won immunity.

Elaine was able to snatch the advantage, and Lairo came from behind to win immunity. Elaine told Elizabeth, Aaron, and Missy about her advantage, but Aaron internally debated whether to flip. At Tribal Council, Elaine revealed her advantage, leading to whispering amongst the Lairo and Vokai alliances. Ultimately, Elaine blocked Jason's vote, and Aaron stayed loyal to his original tribe, sending Jason home.

5757"I Was Born at Night, But Not Last Night"1.3/6[28]TBANovember 6, 2019 (2019-11-06)6.82[28]

Lauren felt betrayed by Missy, to whom she felt close, after her alliance's successful blindside of Jason. At Lairo, Noura tried to organize a girls' alliance against Jamal. Janet was selected for Island of the Idols; Rob and Sandra's challenge to her was to play a game to test her ability of calculated risk. If she won, she would receive an advantage where she could forgo any single Tribal Council up until the final seven (in which case she would be immune); if she lost the game, she would lose her vote. Janet decided not to play due to concern over being a future target because of the advantage. Back at Vokai, Tommy and Lauren tried to turn the Lairo members against Dan, but Missy saw through their scheme.

  • Immunity Challenge: Tribe members tossed coconuts into a basket to ultimately make a tower of puzzle pieces to collapse. They used those heavy pieces to solve a puzzle that reveals the season's logo. The first tribe to correctly assemble the puzzle won immunity.

Vokai edged out Lairo as both tribes were placing the final piece of the puzzle. The Vokai majority plus Karishma agreed to vote out Dean, but Kellee got an idea to turn against Jamal or Jack using her idol. As that night was the last opportunity to play it, she discreetly gave the idol to Dean. At Tribal Council, Jamal voiced concerns of a potential girls' alliance, but Kellee took the comment as being sexist, leading to a healthy discussion about respect for women. When the time came to vote, Kellee voted against Dean to cover herself; Dean played the idol to negate 5 votes, but this prompted Jamal to play his idol on Noura. Jamal's idol went to waste, while Noura joined Dean in voting out Jack, who became the first member of the jury.

The episode concluded with a tribute to two-time contestant Rudy Boesch, who died the weekend prior to the episode's release.
