Donathan Hurley
The Southern charmer who dove for Malolo, swung the merge, and grew paranoid a few votes too early.
Known for
Donathan charmed Malolo right away on Ghost Island and survived its opening vote when the tribe decided Gonzalez was the one to go. His defining underdog moment came underwater: after panicking, he dove down, freed the buoys, and stunned both tribes, and Naviti promptly shipped him to Ghost Island. After the switch he built a Final Four pact with Laurel Johnson, Domenick Abbate and Wendell Holland.
At the merge he found an old Kaôh Rōng idol that only worked once he tracked down its partner under the shelter, then played it on himself as Jenna left. He and Laurel swung the Chelsea vote, but Donathan soon saw Domenick and Wendell running away with it. He tried to turn them on each other, clashed loudly with Wendell, and survived a tie with Kellyn, yet Laurel would not jump. In the end the vote went unanimous against him. On the jury he voted for Wendell, who won once Laurel broke the tie.
