Domenick Abbate
The Naviti bulldozer who handed Probst a fake idol mid-Tribal, then lost the title on a single tiebreaking vote.
Known for
Domenick came into Ghost Island swinging, clashing with Naviti leader Chris Noble from the first challenge. He dug up an idol on Night 3, tried to win Chris over with a fake one, and forged a bond with Wendell Holland that lasted the whole game. When Morgan Ricke was blindsided she left him her Legacy Advantage, and Malolo outsiders Donathan Hurley and Laurel Johnson came calling with a final-four offer.
After the merge he finally got Chris out, and his foursome ran the vote. When Donathan turned on them, Domenick went after him hard at the final six, then handed his fake idol to Probst before the vote, spooking Sebastian Noel into holding his extra vote and going home with it. He won the final immunity and kept Laurel, leaving Wendell to win fire. The jury praised his strategy but blasted his aggression toward Sebastian. He and Wendell tied 5-5, and Laurel's tiebreaking vote went to Wendell.
