Survivor Ghost Island: The Winner is Revealed
I was a bit disappointed that Dom didn’t win, but this tie vote was absolutely insane.
Please consider subscribing for more survivor videos, and maybe drop a like if you enjoyed, it helps me out a lot. Thanks for watching! - Zábava
Everyone’s reaction to him saying he was gonna read the votes, lmao
Please consider subscribing for more survivor videos, and maybe drop a like if you enjoyed, it helps me out a lot. Thanks for watching!
the description says "Wendell Wind" instead of "Wendell Wins" lol
OMG I DIDNT EVEN KNOW UOU WERE THE ONE WHO'S BEEN POSTING THESE VIDS -uhwig
Does anyone knows who voted for Dom and who's has voted for Wendell?. Thanks.
but why are they so shocked?
Swind Pendulum
Dom: Chris, Libby, Dez, Jenna, Michael
Wendell: Chelsea, Kellyn, Sebastian, Donathan, Angela
When Jeff announces it's a tie, you can see how happy Wendell is and how devasted Dom was, because they both knew it that moment that Wendell won
I actually feel really bad for Laurel. Knowing that you and you alone have two people's fates in your hands, that by casting a single vote, you give a million dollars to one friend and deny it to the other... that's an incredible amount of pressure. Literally a million dollar decision.
And to keep it all a secret for an entire year.
Right, and no one even voted for her either.
The Final 3 should have voted along with the Jury. The Final 3 would be given special ballots, and can't vote for him/herself. If there is a tie than that ballot be used to break the tie.
In this season, Jeff will read the ballots (at the live show), and since there is a tie, he will open Laurel ballot's which can only have Dom's or Wendel's vote.
jabberwagon yeah right. There's no question who she was picking... Dominic knew it. Deserving window? Yeah, I don't think so like many
miragexl007 and like many, you are wrong and have somehow missed the entire point of Survivor despite claiming to be a fan.
Okay did anyone else notice that Wendell looks exactly like childish gambino?
Ben Morgan yes
lando carisici
From the beginning yup, thats why we cheered for him lol.
Everyone did, even the Facebook robots thought it when Andrea Boehlke posted a picture of herself with Childish Gambino.
ikr
this is heartbreaking for someone like me who’s been rooting for Dom. He knew he lost the game when Probst said it’s Laurel who’ll decide the final winner. 😭😭
The curse...?
Like he even said Wendell is his only threat and neither of the girls could beat him in fire. Gotta take matters into your own hands
he thought about doing that but believe he'd win 6-4
@@HotRoute7 Doesn't change the fact that Wendell would not have won without the stupid forced fire making twist, unless he could somehow convince Laurel to force a tie for him. When people start to avoid even attempting to make fire to avoid being seen as a threat, you know the new rule is backfiring horribly.
Shadow Ninja laurel said she wouldve let wendell go to fire, so we likely get the same outcome here
Big vote by yanny
I love this 😂
I never actually heard Jeff say Yanny.
Commenting person its a joke. There was this audio clip that you could here 2 different things Yanny or Laurel. Your hearing depends on what you here
@@Zertistix I learned that, lol.
I love that this season all came down to Yanny
Hit TV show. Hit music video. Hit movie coming out. And now winner of survivor. Donald Glover his having a great year.
hpnc i knew he looked familiar but I couldn’t put my finger on it
Bruh I've been saying that to myself the entire season !
hpnc Yeah ! Just see This video u will Love This more czcams.com/video/Vaxwedgivvo/video.html
hpnc "Hit movie coming out." Yeahhhh.... about that...
This was the first season I really watched survivor so when he said “I’m going to reveal the votes” and with that reaction I was like “What are they so shocked about?” But now I know why
Polar 🤣
lol
Haha
@aydooknow i only saw the reunion show to this and i officially started watching survivor was david vs goliath
this also was my first season lol
Thank God Wendall gave Laurel that idol. She had to return the favor after that. Congratulations Wendall.
Maisha Holmes Yes Wendall gave her an idol but it was Dom who took her to the end instead of having her make fire.
LilannB well, dom wanted Angela to make fire with Wendell and she's a veteran. So...
Maisha Holmes did I miss something? The idle was an empty gesture based on what was going on... He didn't have anything to lose by giving it to her at that point... And she wasn't going obviously because he was in the majority situation on voting... But yeah, it was nice. And it does give people something to talk about is if that made the decision for Laurel easy at the end... Absolutely not. There was no way she wasn't going to pick Wendell anyway
@@miragexl007 she didnt feel safe because she was better at comps than don and he was doing well pleading his case. It was the kind gesture, relief of being in top 4 and speach he made about their connection that made her probably lean towards wendall more. Plus dom only kept her because she couldnt make fire
Yes!!!!!!!
So technically, Laurel is the only Survivor player in history to know the winner of a season before the final votes are read (or in this case, the one final vote)
I believe most juries are actually aware of who the winner will be by finale night. Obviously they could have been lied to by other jury members, but for the most part I think they are aware. And in some cases, I think finalists are too. (Such as Colby, who didn’t even take a moment to process he somehow lost to Tina, he just immediately shouted praise and congratulations upon her)
@@alexjames4770 Skupin definitely believed he won Philippines after it finished filming and I have a feeling Russell believed he won Samoa. Other than those two seasons, yeah, everyone knows who the winner is long before the votes are read at the reunion.
@@coqui9879 At the Samoa finale, Russell probably thought he won 2 million dollars, probably thinking he won HvV as well.
@@ironmantim33 there’s no way he thought he won HvV. He’s not THAT delusional
@@coqui9879 well he gave an interview during survivor 41 talking about how the new format was so horrible that viewing numbers were gonna drop SO low that survivor would be FORCED to bring him back & hes gonna be the savior of survivor so yah he IS that delusional hes also still extremely bitter that he lost to natalie & sandra & still insists that strategy is everything & the social game is irrelevant & shouldnt even be considered in a jurys decision of who wins so even 10+ years later he still hasnt learned how to win survivor & quite frankly can NEVER win BECAUSE of the fundamental flaws in his game
Laurel iconic, first ever 11th jury member.
Mel Brown yanny*
She also became the first person to be both a finalist and a jury member in the very same season, and she's the only finalist to ever vote at the FTC.
Victoria’s the 2nd 11th jury member
At least she ended up doing something interesting.
Devens was the first 13th jury member.
Laurel played to get to the end, not to win.
Just like Russell hehee
Max Ambris Early in the merge was definitely her time on top, until she crumbled and somehow found a way to keep Dom and Wendell every episode. Too bad the entire season revolved around advantages and idols or those two were screwed
To be successful on Survivor you have to know how to compromise. You have to at least align your interests to those of others. Laurel terribly failed at that and just sat on the comfort of having two alphas coddling her.
@@entertainer_ev2747 Russell played to win. Laurel knew she couldn't beat the big dogs.
Pretty much everyone this season, aside from Dom and Wendell, were playing to get to the end not to win. If you weren't rooting for either of those guys, this was probably a rough season for you. The other players pretty much let them walk through it
As soon as he said he was going to read them now, I had a feeling it was going to be a tie. This is why I'm still a fan and always will be of this show. I've been waiting for this to happen and I'm so glad it finally did
GamingFanactic911 Jeff checks the votes before he reads them. He saw it was a tie and that Laurel will have to vote, that's why he called to read it there. That surprise couldn't have happened on the live show.
Henro Grove well yeah of course I knew that
GamingFanactic911 now we just gotta hope for the dreaded 3 way tie
Ryan Hardison well they try not to make that happen in the first place but if it does, then I believe the the most recent pre jury member will cast the vote
@@rmh941 With 10 jurors a 3-way tie is not possible. The only possible tied scenarios are 5-5-0, or 4-4-2. At least as long as the number of finalists is 3, and number of jurors is 10. I'm certain it isn't coincidence that they make it 10/3 so that 3-way ties cannot happen.
“I thought he was joking” lol
I watched this after seeing it live and I got chills again. My first thought when it happened live was "omg they're doing a borneo."
Same lol
Right when he said he read the votes. I immediately knew that it was a tie. And Laurel was the 11th juror.
Dom played a great game and so did Wendell, but if you’re gonna be in a very public power alliance that controls the whole season, you better make sure you can prove you were the one running the show, and if you can’t do that, you better make sure you’re the friendlier one or at least appear to be the friendlier one....and that’s where Dom went wrong and it cost him a million dollars. Hasn’t been a FTC showdown like this in a while!!
I think Don just messed up at jury.
It took too long for either of them to present themselves as the one in control.
Plus let’s not act like Wendell got with a unanimous voting.. at the end what matter was his friendship with Laurel.
Dom made the mistake of sending crazy Angela to the jury.. should've kept her. She was butthurt and voted against him. Wendel's game was nowhere close to Dom's and the only reason Wendel won is for his relationship with Laurel.
I was rooting hard for Wendell this season and aftand rewatching still a huge fan but I would've voted for Dom if I was the jury , the guy was playing his game like a high stakes poker player
Laurel stole the show. She made the juries useless. lols.
Haha they were hardly useless. If any of the 10 people change their vote it is decided and Laurel does not have to vote. So every single juror was very meaningful plus Laurel. In fact there was never a season where 11 peoples sole vote mattered so much. Or even one where technically 6 mattered so much, the 5 who voted Wendell plus the tiebreaking vote. Any other season someone won by 6 votes, atleast 1 of their votes was not needed.
@@tumicduguar2583 won with at least *6 votes (excluding EoE and WaW)
Laurel made her game useless.
From a mediocre season to the best, legendary finish in history
moonhead538 agree 100%
sebastian vasquez and it came literally right out of nowhere
I know so true
moonhead538 Ikr, i dont know why they didint vote out both of them! Omg laurel i was hoping more from her, she became the goat of this season
Yeah, that's why people didn't like this season that much. Dom and Wendell were my top two favorites, but this is true. Chris is my third favorite of the season.
Finally my own curse is reversed lol, for the first time since Survivor Redemption Island my Day 1 pick won it all (I think we all knew Rob was gonna smoke that season though haha). Wendell you are the man!!!!
Such a great ending to a somehow underwhelming, boring season.
John Bradson nope boring... That a cheap win from a friend voting for a friend
miragexl007 that just shows tho that Wendell’s social game was ultimately better, to make that deep of a connection with Laurel. Him giving her Erik’s immunity necklace at the F5, although not needed, sealed her loyalty. Kind of ironic that the immunity necklace given up as part of the “dumbest move” in survivor history secured the win for Wendell
Hopefully Michael and Dom return for an All Star season in future. They were the only good things about this season.
Will be curious to see how Wendell does in Season 40 though
@@bc5163 michael was bland af lol, chris was a _much_ better character in terms of entertainment
B C There were other bright spots. Chris Noble - the rapper, Donathan, and - even though editing kinda screwed her over - Angela.
Despite getting 0 votes Laurel did something umm fun at FTC
As soon as he said "I'm just going to read the votes" I knew it was a tie... and I knew Laurel would vote for Wendell.
My brain? Why would they read a tie out live?
Are you stupid??? Obviously.. but he didn't read these votes at the reunion, did he?
What's interesting is that the first 5 jurors voted for Dom, and the last 5 plus Laurel voted for Wendell. I think the only way for Laurel to win is to bring Angela, Chelsea, or Sea Bass but she messed that up in F8.
Laurel would've lost to Chelsea, she was a challenge beast
Qwe Rty Laurel was just a snitch every time when i say every time i mean EVERY TIME she goes to Dom and Wendell and tell them that their getting voted like girl-
iPredictions chelsea was very underrated strategically. in hindsight that makes me really mad that she got the edit she did
I feel bad for Dom cuz he played the best game by just a little bit and his move against Sebastian was one of the best moves we've probably ever seen, and the jury couldn't see that for some reason........
RodneyWayne11 yeah Doms move was legendary and once again the jury kinda ruined the season.
Wendell was a close second to Dom though.
His move wasnt that good lol. Certainly not one of the best we’ve seen.
Ryan Thurston Dom's move? Yeah it was pretty top notch.
Seb Angela and Donathan had 4 votes together and could have easily taken out Dom. Dom saw it and sucessfully stoped that plan with a fake idol. Sebastian didn't even use his vote and it was the last time he could.
They were just sore losers
Actually, I think his final 6 move was what actually lost him the game. I think the humiliation of it swayed both Seb's and Donathan's votes towards Wendell. Maybe even Angela's.
The moment Jeff said "Alright, I'm gonna read the votes" is one of the most iconic reality tv moments in recent years for me. I distinctly remember yelling WAIT WHAT and being as surprised as the jury was.
Laurel sealed her own faith by being a kingmaker. With both sides of the vote she went during Chelsea’s vote it was a lose lose situation, so thank you Laurel for being a kingmaker
We get it, you watch Peridiam.
poor Yanny
What’s a king maker
@@zubayrcharles9914its basically someone who know they are going to FTC, however also knows that they basially have a 0% chance to win. so they basically decide who wins by doing things and making moves to choose who goes to the end with them
When he said “I’m gonna read the votes,” my jaw dropped and I was left speechless. However, when the fifth Wendell vote came, I was actually hyperventilating. It was suspenseful all the way until the final vote was read live. I couldn’t sleep that night. It was THAT exciting.
Can we talk about how freaking epic the sound production is for this scene? Totally heightens the suspense. Imagine being a constant and sitting there in silence as Jeff reads the votes 😂
Yesssss 😍 Wendell won😀😀😀😀
Not a great season, but one of the best finales in survivor HISTORY
Okay not the best finale but the best final tribal and vote reveal
Laurel- From goat to kingmaker!
And because of that, Laurel can comeback to the future season
Chrystjan Lapatha lol true
It's like saying Michaela could come back again.
The fanbase reacted with such toxicity towards her she deleted her social media page. No way they're letting her back.
Ursquidicuss the Great who deleted their social media page. Laurel or Micheala?
Andrew Smith Laurel
Andrew Smith that's unfortunate. she didn't do anything to deserve all that
The only useful thing Laurel has ever done ALL SEASON
showbizroxs nope. Pathetic throughout the game... Pathetic with her decision. Cheap win based on emotions / friendship and probably something else
miragexl007 or social game? Which is why Wendell got 5 votes.
I thought that Dom played a better game and I was hoping he would win but congrats to Wendell!!!
Thomas Haught they both legitimately deserved to win, which isn't too typical for finalists
Thomas Haught I would have preferred that Dom won. But Wendell is a deserving winner. I think Dom will play again.
Wendell definitely deserve it! Dom could have easily took Wendall out. That's ironic that Dom chose Cagayan urn, I guess the curse wasn't reverse.
2:00 The moment Dom knew he lost
It makes me happy to see the first winner tie occur when the two finalists did sooooo well
I was so shook glad it was Wendell he is so deserving of it... And Laurel is a kingsmaker lol
Jordan Vance yep lol
laurel is brain dead
Laure was a sheep
sheep indeed
sustainableman duh I'm just referring to a CZcamsr who breaksdown a lot of survivor content
Wait what's her name, Laurel or yanny?
Kenneth In Real retired she has been in every episode and this is a racist comment
Tristan Howse bruh how is this comment racist?
Tristan Howse honey it was a joke. She was my pick to win since the beginning. I thought Wendel and Dom were annoying but I knew they would both beat her post merge
Kenneth In DONT joke about that
Lmao how tf is it racist...
“Don’t joke about that”
It’s a Laurel or Yanny joke, the whole ‘do you hear laurel or yanny’ thing
from a producer perspective, they should have waited til the live finale to read the votes. The crowd reaction to a tie would've been huge
No they can’t cuz then laurel wouldn’t have voted and she would’ve seen the season on tv
@@lucasmoro9543 Maybe next time they can find a way to reveal it live, and show the later footage of the sole vote. It would be neat to see an audience reaction.
@@isaacmemtorie3347 I mean, the theoretical way to do it would be to have the finalists vote privately for a tiebreaker before the FTC in the event that it's a tie between the other two. They could've then put them in envelopes and Probst could've revealed what the envelope said then. But, that's not likely to be a thing we have to think on anymore.
As soon as he said “I’ll read the votes” I DIED
Dom is officially the best runner up ever. Has to return soon
Laurel was my favourite and turned into my least favourite
haha made my day
Wtf!?!? Dom deserv that win like 100 times more!
sebastian vasquez I was rooting for Dom as well, but in retrospect at final tribal he lost jury votes after rubbing the dirt in Sebastian’s face about feigning with his fake idol and taking him out. I think that’s what ultimately ended up costing him the game. Although he came as close as anyone possibly can in survivor.
Jack Brinkley Sebas wasn’t voting for him anyway
Obviously he didn't
sebastian vasquez Hell no. Wendell and Dom were both deserving.
i was expecting dom to win before it started but im happy wendell won i guess. i read an article a while ago regarding game changers where jeff said what would happen in the case of a tie so when jeff started to read the votes i knew laurel would make the deciding vote.
George Jackson wendell in my opinion did good but dom deserv that win more
sebastian vasquez i agree
what a finale! DAMN!
That look of defeat @ 1:02 is so heartbreaking. Thats the moment she realized she lost...
Laurel is so underrated
She made stupid moves the entire season. She wasn’t playing to win, she was playing to get to the end
Awesome ending. Didn't see that coming!
Is it a concidence that the first five jury members all voted for Dom and the last five jurors all voted for Wendell?!?!?!
Math Man I noticed that too lol
@@szmdkaamskldmas i know this is a late response but at the reunion after the winner is revealed, they show who voted for who.
They line up the votes this way after so it's easier for us to understand
Ah....Borneo style.
2:02 you can see dom’s face, he knew he wasn’t winning as soon as Jeff said that laurel would become the 11th juror and cast the deciding vote. Poor guy
i feel like a lot of the jury were needlessly salty, almost to the point of parody and reminded me of the season Rob M finally won. he said his only regret in the game was letting the jury on all stars make him feel bad and he was apologetic towards them and instead of that he wished he would have stood up and told them to kiss his ass.
Especially Kellyn. Salty dumbass won't keep her mouth shut.
Yeah I lost all respect for whiny Sebastian during this ftc
Outplayedx he got duped soooo bad it was pitiful he didn't see the writing on the wall when Wendell shared reward with him.
I feel bad for Laurel lol. Having to make someone lose a million dollars
Sam Parker if they merged at 12 instead of 13 then their would've been 9 people and 2 people couldn't tie
Sam Parker yanny*
Que A But there may be a 3-way tie which no good solution has been found
Laurel stayed on-code, unlike Liana & Shan. 🔥
1:42 For the 1st time, in 36 seasons of Survivor, we have a tie…….here’s what happens in a tie, the person who’s not tied, Laurel, you become the 11th and final member of our jury, and you will cast the deciding vote
what would the tiebreaker be in a 4-4-2 final vote?
only the 3rd place final3 person makes deciding vote?
do the 2 jury members who voted for 3rd place person also revote?
Whoa Donald Glover played survivor?? :00
Survivor made History!
Jeff is so savage!!! "Alright, I'm going to read the votes!"
This was completely nuts. Never seen before.
That edit inclusion of Donathan “Omg it’s over” is a GREAT touch, considering. lol
It’s like Wendell walks up to Jeff and says, I’m playing this idol for Dominique.
Yes!
1:33 Dom knew he lost
It was very simple; Dom and Wendell were equal best players. Wendell just had added one more last winning step in giving his immunity necklace to Laurel . Dom should have the gut to challenge Wendell for the fire challenge, instead of delegating his million dollars to Angela.... to make the final decision for him. Overconfidence was Dom fatal mistake.
Swind Pendulum or a simpler idea, blindsided Wendell earlier....
showbizroxs yep. Absolutely. I / many / saw that immediately.. he knew that the Buddies would stick together no matter the facts are how the game was played by either one
Dom's reaction when Jeff was reading the votes was hilarious.
This is the best example why social game is better than strategic game when it comes to Survivor.
Wendell a great social player versus Dominic (arguably one of the best strategic players)
Wendell played a better social game, was overall better in challenges, made strategic moves behind the scenes and also found an idol which he played very well at final 5 (ended up giving him a million bucks) and made his own fake one. Wendell deserved to win over Dom
I respect your opinion
Mike Mena nope
great points, but I believe dom edged him out in all areas. but there bros, how could you not like dom or Wendell.
Mike Mena opinions vary. And then Unity I owe you played was pretty much a worthless gesture if you actually looked / k n e w what was going on
Dom also found an idol and made a fake one, and he definitely used his better. And he won the final 4 challenge, the most important one. And he played a better social/strategic game, evident by the fact that basically all but 1 or 2 of their alliance members said Dom was the one that pulled them in, not Wendell
I love Jeff's expression at 0:16, like fuck it I'm going to actually do this right now.
Is there a link to download the music from this video’s tribal council?
I feel like Jeff should have at least given both Domenick and Wendell a chance to plead their case to Laurel.
I figured a tie would happen soon
Best moment of the season.
That was a truly million dollar vote
Lmao at Angela's calm face during this entire tribal
for what it's worth, we got a nice throwback to Borneo with this
0:23 gives me chills... EVERY TIME!!!
Laurel's thinking "None of you all voted for me? Screw you, now none of your votes count, and only mine will matter."
Once he started reading the votes, I knew it was a tie because they wouldn't let the tiebreaker vote go home and watch the season. What I didn't know was that there was an even number of people on the Jury so I thought Donathan voted for Laurel and he would have been the deciding factor. But once he said Laurel was the vote, I knew it was over for Dom. Too bad.
Stone Roller dom got robbed
Unlocking Apple know he didn't Wendell deserved it
pesston wuz honestly Wendell did deserve he was great but you can’t honestly say that his game was better than doms
Unlocking Apple wendells game was the winning game. No other game that season can be better on that basis.
My first reaction about jeff reading the votes on site was “they cant afford a live reunion anymore?”
this comment aged well
People make jokes about Laurel,I liked her she seemed like a truly sweet and nice lady,yes her game play wasn't great,but she came across as very gentle and kind.
And she made the right choice,so glad Wendell won🙂👍
That look on Dominic's face when he realized he just lost
Just watched this season...I honestly think since Laurel was Impromptu 11th member of the jury, she should have had a Q&A to avoid any confusion for a true unbiased opinion of who played the better game! Definitely needs to happen under the same circumstances in the future
When it was a tie and he had asked Laurel to cast her vote. I knew then they were gonna announced that live. I can imagine how Laurel must've felt when the decision was in her hands and that she had to keep it a secret till the end. I guess future players of Survivor should keep in mind of how they've been towards the people they bring to the end.
If it goes to a tie, it really shouldn't be decided by the 3rd person. Should go to fire making.
This is amazong
does anyone know where you can watch the live reunion? My DVR didnt record the whole ending and I can't find it anywhere :(
SAVAGE
the most epic moment in survivor history
Wendell 🙌🙌🙌
I hate this when players take a move personally like Sebastian Dominic did what was best for his game
1montrealfan that’s the name of the game bro you don’t just shit on people on their way out. Wendell was smart enough to do him a favor (picking him for the reward) when he sent sea bass packing. Wendell deserved all of those votes imo
Jury management
I feel like I was the only one that actually enjoyed this season. I LIKED the ghost island twist, I think the cast is really underrated - not the best but not bad, I think the amount of advantages and idols is cool and adds more twists and blindsides. I don't really know what everyone's problem w idols and advantages is, so if someone is willing to have a non heated civil conversation about whether idols and advantages are good or bad in the replies then I'm open
I wanted Dom to win....I think it was unfair..... It was obvious who she was going to vote for....😒😒😒
Jonathan Hernandez how is it unfair
Watching this scene for the first time is one of the best moments in the series history. 2 giants ending the season how it should
I felt after the tie result there should be a revote. If there is a tie again. Than Lauren becomes the last juror and cast her vote. There is always chance a juror switches his/her vote in the revote.
It’s different circumstances though because in the game and actual tribals, they are voting someone out and have a chance of going home via rocks. But here they aren’t voting someone out they are voting for someone to win. And plus their not worried about drawings rocks since they are on the jury lol. Plus they’ve had a two hour final tribal jury questions it’s unlikely someone will change their vote in the span of two minutes on the revote
This moment is probably what saved this season from becoming one of the worst seasons.
Great ending, but a lot of terrible gameplay bu everyone other than Dom & Wendall
I was ready for the last vote to say Laurel
I wish Jeff would have given her a chance for a final tribal question then since she was in essence, part of the jury
Wendell was deserved to win,he was very strategic and low key
Reabetswe Motaung and the better social player. People don’t realize that.
@@coolkaapa6421 Ikr brainless rookies
U can tell laurel was mad on not getting any votes
Anyone knows what's the rule if it's a final 2 and a tie happens? I know usually in final 2 the jury is an odd number, but Micronesia had an 8 member jury and final 2
At the risk of this sounding awkward, we knew she was going to vote for her buddy Wendell
