Survivor Hamilton Two Finale

Kim Tribe

Well here we are at the last day of Survivor Hamilton Two. After starting with 40 contestants, we are down the 3. Last night’s tie-breaker resulted in Binny being voted out and Scott sticking with a shot at the finals. Today in fact will have the competitions last Immunity challenge with the winner taking a spot in the finals with the choice of who else goes with them. Kyle and Scott have really been the strongest team in all of Survivor Hamilton history. Since the very first week they made an alliance, and they have stuck it out all the way to the final three. It would be truly amazing if they could make it to the finals together.
Elliott had to struggle every week for his survival. He was almost eliminated in the first few weeks by Kyle and Scott, but he luckily made it through, and during the switch he was able to make a serious alliance. But ever since the merge and being back with Kyle, it has been tough for Elliott. All three of these final Survivors have had a tough time making it this far, and that challenge will continue if they want to make the finals.

Final Immunity Challenge

This final challenge is very simple. There are three thin wooden posts standing out in the ocean. Each castaway will stand on their post until they no longer can. The last person standing on their post in the scorching heat will win Immunity and a spot in the finals. Well Scott, Kyle and Elliott climb out to their posts and begin their marathon of standing.

One hour into the challenge Elliott is looking pretty woozy. He keeps blinking and shaking his head trying to keep himself conscious, but things are not looking good. Scott is actually laughing at Elliott, because he himself is feeling really good right now. Kyle could share Elliott’s pain. He too felt the heat was too much to handle.

Two hours into the challenge Kyle and Elliott are really looking not so good. Scott is starting to lick his dry lips, but he looks to have better composure than the other two. Suddenly, Kyle stumbles off his post and crashes into the water. Kyle is the first person eliminated from the final immunity challenge.

Three hours into the challenge Elliott seems to have a lot more confidence after Kyle failed. Scott saw his ally go down and knew that all the pressure was on him to win. Elliott knew that he had a chance to win this whole thing if he stuck it out.

Four hours into the challenge both Elliott and Scott are in very rough shape. Both are burnt to a crisp, bright red and very woozy. Elliott suddenly stumbles, but is able to grab the post and hoist himself back up. As he is pulling himself back up, Scott faints into the water.

That means that Scott is eliminated and Elliott Delaunay wins the final Immunity Challenge.

Kim Tribe before Tribal Council

So even though Kyle and Scott had their strong alliance, it would still be Elliott deciding who went to the finals with him. He will be the only person who gets to vote. He had a slight dilemma. If he chose Scott he would have a greater chance of winning because less people knew Scott personally. If he chose Kyle it would set up a very big and fan-friendly Tribal Council because the rivalry between the two of them has been huge all game long. It would be a tough decision, but one Elliott had to make.

Kim Tribal Council

So Elliott goes up and makes the one and only vote. So the 11th person voted out of the Kim tribe, and the 39th person voted out of Survivor Hamilton Two is…

Scott Heidman


Scott I’m happy you made it this far. For a guy who seemed to do so little, I can tell that you had a very real influence on this game. Congrats on third place. So this sets up the ultimate final of Elliott Delaunay and Kyle Pitman. I am stoked to see who wins, and it is coming up right now.

Here are your finalists:

Elliott Delaunay


Kyle Pitman


Final Tribal Council

So Kyle Pitman and Elliott Delaunay make their way to the final tribal council where they will have to face each of the last 11 people they have eliminated. I will go through each vote one by one, attempting to analyze why each person voted the way they did. Remember that each person is voting for who they want to WIN. It must be noted that I was not able to obtain the vote of Tyler Wells, so the eleventh vote must go to someone else… SCAN DOWN SLOWLY FOR GREATER EFFECT

First Vote
Scott Heidman votes for Kyle
Their alliance was well known and very threatening right to the end. There was no way Scott would vote for anyone else.

Kyle: 1
Elliott: 0

Second Vote
Matt Binnington votes for Elliott
It was Elliott who brought Binny back into the game. Binny owed him this much at least.

Kyle: 1
Elliott: 1

Third Vote
Andrew Cowin votes for Elliott
Kyle single-handedly voted out all of Cowin’s allies throughout the whole game. Cowin did not want to see Kyle win, so he voted Elliott.

Kyle: 1
Elliott: 2

Fourth Vote
Silas Pedro Esq. votes for Elliott
Convinced that Kyle betrayed all his friends and finally himself, Silas wanted anyone other than the powerful Kyle to win the game.

Kyle: 1
Elliott 3

Fifth Vote
Jord Wilson votes for Kyle
In a surprising move, Jord the ally of Cowin, chooses Kyle to win. I suppose he felt that Kyle played the better game.

Kyle: 2
Elliott: 3

Sixth Vote
Steve Edwards votes for Elliott
Steve and Elliott had a very solid alliance throughout the game, and this represents that.

Kyle: 2
Elliott: 4

Seventh Vote
Peter German votes for Elliott
Just like with Steve, German and Elliott were a close alliance.

Kyle: 2
Elliott: 5

Eighth Vote
Nathan Dirks votes for Kyle
While the two had a rocky relationship in Survivor, they are close friends and that is displayed here.

Kyle: 3
Elliott: 5

Ninth Vote
Chris Pitman votes for Kyle
In another surprising move, Kyle’s brother Chris votes for Kyle to win. They had an intense rivalry which resulted in the demise of Chris’ reign, but brotherly love prevails.

Kyle: 4
Elliott: 5

Tenth Vote
Mandy Maurice votes for Kyle
Since the switch they had a strong alliance, and Mandy knew that Kyle couldn’t save her, but tried.

Kyle: 5
Elliott: 5

Eleventh and Final Vote
Well as you can read, there is a tie going into the final vote. Since Tyler could not be reached, I decided to go to the Champion of SH1, and also the last person to be voted out before the merge Bryant Trotman for the final and deciding vote.
With Bryant Trotman’s vote… the Ultimate Survivor and Winner of Survivor Hamilton Two is…

KYLE PITMAN


Congrats Kyle for winning SH2. It was an amazing ride and I can’t believe that this started with all 40 of you. Elliott, it was an amazing game for you, and you had such challenges to get to this point and I am happy that you of all people made it to the finals.

Thanks to all of you who joined Survivor Hamilton, and followed it and were able to make it such a success. I really appreciate all the devotion you guys showed, and it makes me excited for SH3, which will debut sometime in September. It will prolly be at a lesser scale than 40 people, but it will still be a great time.

Thanks again for all the time and energy and appreciation you guys showed me, and I’m happy to have been able to provide you with the opportunity to be part of Survivor. Until next time I will be tree planting.

Week Twenty-Three Tribal Council

Kim Tribe before Tribal Council

Well there wasn’t much stress leading up to this Tribal Council. It was fairly obvious who would be getting the votes this week. After Kyle won immunity, it was safe to say that Elliott and Binny would have to vote against Scott. And seeing as Binny had more votes against then Elliott, it seemed that Kyle and Scott would be voting for Binny. So as everyone was pretty certain who would be voting against who, the final four decided to go on a nice hike. They packed lunched of mangoes, clam and fresh water, and headed out to find a waterfall or something beautiful that could help bond them as a team for one final time.
Without much struggle Binny spotted the falling water through the trees, and ran off to shower himself under the clean, crisp falls. Scott was not far behind as he jumped into the pool at the bottom of the falls with a big splash. All in all it was a very nice afternoon without stress, but soon it would have to end. And by soon I mean right now.

Kim Tribal Council

1st Vote: Scott
2nd Vote: Binny
3rd Vote: Scott
4th Vote: Binny

See, like I expected we have a tie. I then performed a revote with only Kyle and Elliott voting, but they stuck with their original votes. So it was then time to count the previous votes against for Scott and Binny. After calculating the votes, the 10th person voted out of the Kim Tribe and the 38th eliminated from Survivor Hamilton Two is…
For the second time…

Matthew Binnington


Well we are down to the final three… Kyle Pitman, Scott Heidman and Elliott Delaunay. Congrats to Binny to sticking around after being brought back for longer than I thought. People wanted you out and you made it far so I am happy that you are the guy who got brought back. Tomorrow (I really hope) I will be posting the final day of Survivor Hamilton Two. The final three will compete in a random challenge to book a place in the Finals, and they will have the opportunity to bring one of the other two to the finals. Stay tuned.

Week Twenty-Two

Kim Tribe

Well we are all the way down to the final four. Even though all four remaining castaways began this game on the same tribe, some have taken very different roads to the final four. Matt Binnington started the game feeling pretty good about his chances in the Kichanga Tribe. He knew lots of people in his tribe, and he saw no reasons why he couldn’t go deep in the game. But unfortunately for him, his friendships with Elliott and Scott did not help him, and he was voted out in week six by an alliance led by Kyle.
Instead of joining with his friend Binny from camp, Scott Heidman decided to make an alliance with Kyle Pitman. They didn’t really know eachother, but they saw in eachother strengths which could help them get far. Turns out it was the right decision as their alliance cut through their first tribe, their new tribe after the switch, and lo and behold they are both still in the game at the final four. While Scott has only received two votes against this whole game (both last week), Kyle has had many close calls. He has had to vote out his friends to keep himself around, but each choice he made seems to be the right one as he has strategically dominated this game. That is not to take anything away from Scott’s game, because for being dominant in the challenges, Scott has had the ability to lay low, and I believe that is what has gotten him to this point.
Elliott Delaunay, like Kyle has had a very difficult time getting to the final four. Getting through to the switch almost didn’t happen, but Elliott did some quick thinking and was able to ally with Kyle and Scott and gain their semi-trust. During the switch, he was put in a tribe with his close friend German, and Elliott easily made it through to the merge. In the first Tribal Council however, Elliott was almost voted out, and he has had to work very hard to keep himself around while all his allies from his last tribe were systematically eliminated. He won a very important challenge later in the game, and was given the opportunity to bring someone back to the game. He decided to bring someone back who he could trust, and chose Binny. The two have formed a strong pairing, and look to get to the final three together.

Immunity Challenge

This is the second last immunity challenge. It will consist of three different challenges each using two attributes evenly. The loser of each challenge will be eliminated, and the winners will go through to the next round. The winner in the third challenge will win the immunity challenge.

First Contest

Speed: 0%
Strength: 0%
Prob-Solv: 50%
Strategy: 50%
Co-op: 0%

Eliminated: Scott
Moving on: Kyle, Elliott, Binny

Its too bad that this challenge was the first, because Scott would have taken the next two rounds had he snuck through this one.

Second Contest

Speed: 50%
Strength: 50%
Prob-Solv: 0%
Strategy: 0%
Co-op: 0%

Eliminated: Binny
Moving on: Elliott, Kyle

Well this sets up the ultimate rivalry between Elliott and Kyle. These two have been both allies and rivals throughout this game, and now we have a chance to separate the two of them.

Third Contest

Speed: 0%
Strength: 50%
Prob-Solv: 50%
Strategy: 0%
Co-op: 0%

Also you should know that this is a tie, and therefore I will have my trusty sidekick Tyler pick a hand to determine the winner. And the winner of the second last immunity challenge in Survivor Hamilton Two is…

Kyle Pitman

This Week’s Vote

I realize I am posting this late, but I would like to have this Tribal Council posted by Saturday night. Remember you can't vote for Kyle. There are only four of you so I suppose it shouldn’t take too long to determine who you are voting for. If there is indeed a tie, I will give you two more days to revote (Monday), and if it is still a tie, I will add up previous votes against and I will post the Tribal Council on the same time I post Week Twenty-Three.

Good luck boys.

Week Twenty-One Tribal Council

Kim Tribe before Tribal Council

Well today the final five would become the final four. After today 90% of the castaways will have been eliminated. After dominating the strategic element of the game for so many weeks, Kyle finally won his first immunity challenge and it couldn’t have come at a better time. After Cowin was immune for 5 weeks in a row, Kyle finally took the crown form him, and now things were looking dicey for one Andrew Cowin. Kyle and Scott would most definitely be voting together this week, as would Elliott and Binny. So either the four of them voted out their biggest threat in Cowin, or someone would decide to take Cowin to the final three.
Cowin wanted to talk to Elliott and Binny. He had a little vendetta against Kyle ever since he had a hand in voting out ALL of Cowin’s allies. That would be Hackett, Graham, Jill and Jord. Kyle has done a number on Cowin’s friends, and even though Kyle was immune this week, Cowin would be looking to vote out Scott. That would take away Kyle’s only ally, and probably spell the end for Kyle’s regime. So if Cowin can’t get Elliott’s vote, it looks like he will be the one to go this week.

Tribal Council

1st Vote: Cowin
2nd Vote: Cowin
3rd Vote: Scott
4th Vote: Scott

So after 4 of the 5 votes, we currently have a tie between Scott and Cowin. But unfortunately for one, there is 1 more vote to come. So with the 5th vote against, the 9th person voted out of the Kim Tribe and the 37th person voted out of Survivor Hamilton Two is…

Andrew Cowin


Hey Cowin I’m sorry your run is over. You made it much farther than I thought you would. Congrats on being 5th, and I’m happy that you ended up taking this game so seriously and put so much into the strategy part.

So we are down to our final four. I don’t know if any of you have noticed yet, but all 4 of the remaining castaways are from the original Kichanga Tribe. Kyle, Scott, Elliott and Binny have been through a lot, but now the game is reaching its end. One of these four will end up the final Survivor.
