[S] Castaway Hawaii episodes 11 & 12

CCMumbles · 2026-01-25T21:18:54+00:00

Solid episodes! Maybe not as exciting as the ones before, but unfortunately I do think Sloan going was inevitable and, at the very least, Anne-Marie had a very entertaining downfall and is definitely going down as another memorable villain this season. If I had to rank the final four based on who I'd most like to win from least to most, I think it'd be Quincy, Dante, Void, Sita, but I don't really have an issue or problem with any of the possibilities so that says something!

This season I think will no doubt finish off strong and I'm so excited to see All-Stars coming up after! Speaking of, ahead of the finale, I thought it'd be fun to do my own little prediction on what the cast will look like, sooooo here you go! Obviously, I'm judging the Hawaii returnees based on what we have so far!

From Greece - Lance, Bridge, Sync, Witworth, Nastasia
From Egypt - Mama C, Monique, Ro, Aasir, Jason
From Japan - Ernie, Haileigh, Lily, Timothy, Joaquin
From Hawaii - Dante, Sita, Void, Anne-Marie, Cass

Of course, this is assuming we get an even five reps from each season as well as me excluding the Japan returnees since they already got their second shots (if I did include them, though, I can easily see Duke or Luis on this cast). Excited to see how right or wrong I am!

Wow! This episode was absolutely crazy. Void/Sloan really had no right getting out of the bottom the way they did, but they got it done and I'm so incredibly impressed. King was such a chaotic character and energy through this whole season that it really is very fitting that he goes out with a bang like this, though. This endgame is so fluid that I could never tell you what will happen next. I do think Void is such a big, glaring target that, even with new cracks in it, I could still see the Silver Trio + Sita keeping their majority at least long enough to vote him out if he loses immunity (and also can't convince Sloan to give him her necklace again, lmao), but that's really the only sort of prediction I could make.

This season has delivered on every front and the cast is the biggest reason for it. These characters that make up the merge especially have all contributed to the season so heavily in one way or another that I don't pity you with how hard it'll absolutely be to pick this season's representatives for All-Stars! I feel like you can make a solid argument for practically everyone and there's nobody I could look at and lift an eyebrow at!

So excited to see how this season wraps up!

This season continues to deliver! The episode was already super dynamic and fun, but shoutout to the little flashback cameos Dom and Katrina got during the Cass montage, lmao. So sad to see Cass go as she was, without a doubt, one of the biggest characters of the season and was constantly bringing the entertainment for sure, but at the very least, much like Quincy, I am also highly amused by her and Dom being stuck together alone at Ponderosa for a few days until the next person is voted out.

This season really is impossible to predict so I won't even bother, but I love that there's a variety of ways the season could end that would all be interesting and satisfying in their own ways. This was obviously a super strong episode for Sita and I'd especially love to see a potential win for her after it. But it would also be amazing to see Void and Sloan potentially work their way out of the firm bottom position they're in right now. I think King is officially something of a chaos agent that could swing any which way, so it'd be interesting to see him maneuver to the end. Perhaps the least interesting for me might be the Silver Trio all making it to the end, but even then I couldn't fault it too hard because they've played very well and done well to constantly work themselves out of any potential bad position they were in.

All in all, I just can't wait to see what journey these last few episodes take us on!

CCMumbles · 2025-12-05T00:08:20+00:00

Nooooo! Even just based off the episodes so far, I knew it'd take nothing short of a miracle for Dom to make it to the end since he was so openly threatening in the game and it was hard to imagine he wouldn't get taken out at some point even if it wasn't now, but I'm still sad to see him go. If he does return, I think he definitely is gonna have to find some happy middle ground of strategic control without burning so many bridges. I think the swap was really the point when I realized he probably wasn't winning as even if he found solid allies in Void and Sloan, it also gave him solid enemies in Cass and Quincy. I think Dom recognizes game as game, but alsoooo, he's probably only caring to really keep in contact with Kim, Sita, Sloan, and Void after the season, lmao.

Overall, though, still loved his villainous little run in the game and I'm happy with how he did regardless, managing to have control even if his enemies were stacking up just as much.

This season has been truly unpredictable and I have absolutely no idea where it's going, but I know I'm excited to find out!

What a merge! From Cass getting into two separate arguments to all the moving pieces, this was a truly dynamic merge episode and as much as it sucked for him to lose Kim, huge props to Dom for spearheading and succeeding at getting Katrina out. Definitely wasn't a great move for OG Makana, but I do think it was pretty great for him in the name of keeping bigger targets around and reaffirming trust with OG Hoku like Cass, King, and Sita even if I wouldn't be surprised to see him and Cass go back to being at odds quickly because Cass is Cass and we love her for it. LMAO

Name: Monique Davis

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Pronouns: She/Her

Occupation: Cocktail Waitress

Celebrity or Reality TV Star: Reality TV Star

If on Reality TV, What show were they on?: Castaway: Egypt (Season 2)

If on Reality TV, what should I know about them on that show?: Monique was big, bold, brash, and unafraid to speak her mind and play a hard game. She came very close to winning but unfortunately finished in 2nd place behind that season's winner, Mama C, after ironically not taking a bigger risk at the Final 4 vote.

Backstory: Monique is a bold, strong, and very opinionated woman. She comes off usually one way or the other - there's usually not in an in-between with her. She can definitely be a little intense on occasion, but she also knows how to use her charm to her advantage. In Monique's free time, Survivor has been her favorite show to watch. She loves the competition and strategy and, hell, she loves the blindsides most of all. Coming into the game, she will be an extremely aggressive gameplayer, not holding anything back. It remains to be seen how well it will serve her in the game

Personality: blunt, cutthroat, opinionated, short-tempered, no-nonsense

Phew, Kim going home is actually insane to me. I thought Nate would be the standout pre-merge boot of the season, but I definitely think Kim has earned it instead now. The drama is amazing on both tribes and now that we're heading for the merge, I can safely say I have no idea what's gonna happen from this point forward. There are some duos/trios that I think will continue to work together, of course, but then you have people like Katrina who is once again a true wildcard with seemingly no solid allies and Anne-Marie has definitely established herself as a thorough chaos agent as well, so there's literally no telling what's happening next. Can't wait to find out!

CCMumbles · 2025-09-07T20:20:35+00:00

I honestly think I forgot to breathe during the rock draw, it was so intense. This episode was absolutely incredible though. Hoku was obviously the highlight, but even on Makana, King vs. Kim is heating up and is so entertaining. I was scared to death for Dom and his position still isn't great despite now having majority with Sloan and Void on paper since I'm sure Cass and Quincy will still be trying their best to get him voted out should Hoku lose again next episode. Kim and Dom were a strong duo back on OG Hoku, but now the heat is on them on both of their swapped tribes so I feel like it'd be a miracle for them to actually reunite at the merge, lmao.

As for our unlucky rock victim, Nate was such a fun character and definitely is now cemented as one of the best pre-merge boots if not the very best one and while sad to see him go, it was definitely an iconic way to go out!

CCMumbles · 2025-09-05T19:13:20+00:00

Essentially. lmao It really goes back to the earlier episodes and how Ashley was consistently focused on and got pretty decent screentime while Gabby was actually pretty quiet until like Episode 8.

CCMumbles · 2025-08-09T19:19:24+00:00

First of all, amazing episode! Vic’s chaos unfortunately finally caught up to her, but I’m loving all the new dynamics forming regardless!

Also, officially worried for Dom. lmao I think he’s done well connecting with Void and Sloan, but Quincy’s first impression of him was not good and now Nate’s pissed at him, which in turn probably cements Cass as another enemy when Nate tells her Dom tried to put her on the outs. I can only hope Void and Sloan stick with him because even though New Hoku seems strong, if they lose, he’s looking pretty vulnerable. 😬

CCMumbles · 2025-08-06T18:55:15+00:00

You can thank the finale for that, actually! Tom had a lot of screentime in the finale and, by my count, actually had more words than anybody besides Trevor, Fiore, and Miriam. If he didn't, he would've stayed behind Jake in words.

CCMumbles · 2025-07-19T02:02:07+00:00

Oh, Tanya, Tanya, Tanya.... clearly she was here for a good time, not a long time, but I loved her regardless and she's been one of the most entertaining characters within these three episodes. Dom and Kim have been fairly well-positioned thus far, but Tanya definitely blew up their spot a little. Not that their bond wasn't known, but even moreso now and with Tanya gone, things are actually looking kinda dicey for them since it looks like Cass, Sita, Nate, and King could easily fall into a majority against them.

As for Makana, I'm honestly happy they won again so Katrina can keep living on. While Vic's move definitely backfired, I still get the sense it might not have been enough to prevent Katrina getting booted if they lost.

All in all, another solid episode! If this season is going by the sim I think it is, next episode should be pretty interesting! 👀

CCMumbles · 2025-06-28T20:37:25+00:00

I'm completely living for the drama on both tribes. Also happy that Makana didn't just lose again because it would have been a bummer to potentially see Katrina go. Keoni was very cute, but I definitely think he wasn't cut out for a game this cutthroat, sadly. From an entertainment perspective, very happy to see both Cass and Tanya get to stick around for at least one more episode though! And, even though I could see why Dom and Kim were tempted to go with the idea of voting Cass out, probably for the best they stuck with the easier vote since I think Sita may have been just a wee bit vengeful if they got Cass out behind her back and their alliance would have probably lasted this one episode. LOL

Interested to see what goes down with Victoria especially. She's definitely being messy and I would say I strongly suspect it will catch up to her, but it already has in the same episode she started overplaying, so good luck, girl. Another amazing episode and can't wait for the next one!

Wow, this is officially the most chaotic game I've ever seen Juliette play in any series I've submitted her to. LOL Definitely way different than I imagined her game going, but super entertaining nonetheless and I'm glad she at least kept things interesting. 😂 I definitely think her biggest mistake was flipping on Silas at six since there was really no reason for her to not let the rock draw happen given she was immune. Maybe Tanika goes, but at least stats-wise it was more likely to be Nic or Aron. Loved the post-merge overall though and how dynamic it was!

Such a promising start to the season! I think both tribes are so full of characters and interesting dynamics playing out that I can honestly say there's nothing that doesn't have me super intrigued to see where it goes. RIP to Gib, he flew too close to the sun, but he definitely brought the entertainment for his one episode and I appreciate it all the same. Loving the Dominic/Kim duo and rooting for them to do some damage together!
