Leaving Survivor: South Pacific with Elyse Umemoto
This past week on Survivor: South Pacific, Elyse Umemoto became the latest Survivor casualty of the game after losing a close challenge at Redeption Island. Although Elyse made a strong alliance with Survivor all-star Ozzy Lusth, she soon found herself sent to Redemption when her Savaii tribe mates decided to break up the pair. As a result, Elyse had to fight for her Survivor life in the South Pacific at Redemption in a shuffleboard challenge, which Christine narrowly won.
