Celeste Go

**Celeste Go** is a contestant from *Survivor: South Africa*.

Celeste played a very under the radar game throughout the season. She managed to reach the Final 4 without receiving a single vote cast against her. Her likability was seen as a huge threat to the other players in the Final 4 and she became the 10th and final member of the jury in a 3-1 vote on Day 38.

## Survivor

Celeste began the game on the Zulu tribe. She was seen as a likable person by most of the tribe. On Day 3, Zulu won the first immunity challenge. Celeste started to bond more with Lori Christopher and Gigi Ramirez. All 3 of them decided to form an alliance with each other. On Day 6, Zulu won immunity again. Celeste began to notice that she was not part of the tribe's majority alliance which consisted of the 7 other members of the tribe. She became worried that she would go at the tribe's first tribal council or that Lori or Gigi would be sent home. On Day 9, Zulu lost their first immunity challenge. Celeste and her alliance decided to target Julio Rodriguez for the vote. They all felt like he was extremely bossy and he was not working with any of in the game. Celeste felt like there was no way for her to convince anyone from the majority alliance to flip on Julio. She decided to let many of her tribe members know that she performed well in the immunity challenges so that they would not target her. At tribal, Lori was voted out in a 7-3 vote. After tribal, Celeste knew that either her or Gigi would most likely be voted out if the tribe went back to tribal. On Day 12, Zulu won immunity for the third time.

Luckily for Celeste, a tribe swap occurred on Day 13. She became a member of the newly added tribe: Limpopo. Her new tribe consisted of herself, former Zulu members Julio, Lisa Mathieson, and Josh Sinclair, and former Tsonga members Mason Jefferson and Marco Singh. Celeste realized that she could either work with Mason and Marco and create a 3-3 tribe split or she could try to work with her former Zulu tribe mates and vote out Mason or Marco. On Day 14, Limpopo won immunity. Celeste spent a lot of her free time bonding with her tribe in case they lost an immunity challenge. On Day 17, Limpopo won immunity once again. Celeste became anxious for the merge to come. On Day 19, Limpopo won their third straight immunity challenge.

On Day 20, the merge occurred and combined the 3 tribes. Celeste decided to form a better relationship with Lisa and Josh at the merge feast. On Day 21, Celeste heard Julio's name thrown out by a majority of people. She was told that he was being targeted for his bossy personality and close game relationship to Marco. Celeste was happy that no one was focusing on her and was fine with Julio leaving since she felt like he didn't fully trust her. At tribal, Julio misplayed an idol on Marco and was voted out in a large 11-2 vote. On Day 24, Celeste began to notice that Antonio Hernandez was a physical threat. Following the immunity challenge, she was approached by Antonio her told her that he wanted to vote out Daniel Jimenez for his close bromance with Cody Singalay. Celeste became stumped since she felt like they both needed to go. At tribal, Celeste ended up voting for Antonio who was sent to the jury in an 8-4 vote. On Day 25, Celeste won reward along with Daniel, Irene Chen, Marco, and Mason. She was happy to be able to eat another large feast. On Day 27, Celeste began to notice 2 major sides forming. 1 side seemed to consist of all of the OG Zulu members and the other side seemed to consist of all of the OG Tsonga members. After the immunity challenge, Celeste and Lisa decided to spy on the OG Tsonga alliance. They overheard most of them saying that they were going to target Irene who was also an OG Tsonga member. Celeste and Lisa decided to tell their alliance about it. They all decided that it was best for them to let Irene know what they had heard. They needed Irene to flip onto their side since OG Tsonga had a 6-5 majority over OG Zulu. Once they told Irene, she decided to confront Lindsay Richards about it since Irene and Lindsay had a close relationship over on the swapped Tsonga tribe. This caused a huge argument to start between the two. Before leaving for tribal, Celeste's alliance decided to target Leon Petchers since he was the mastermind over on the OG Tsonga side. At tribal, Irene made it clear that she was flipping over to the OG Zulu side. Before the votes were read, Leon ended up playing an idol on himself. Irene was then sent to the jury in a 5-0 vote. On Day 28, Celeste won immunity once again. She was joined by Leon, Marco, and Didi Conley. On Day 30 following the immunity challenge, Lisa collapsed at camp. When the medics arrived, they concluded that she was severely dehydrated and exhausted and needed to be removed from the game. Celeste was disappointed to be losing another person who was on her side. On Day 31, Daniel won reward and invited Celeste, Cody, and Didi to come along with him. Daniel proposed the idea of the 4 of them forming a 4 person alliance. Celeste felt like she couldn't fully trust any of them and knew that the OG Zulu and OG Tsonga sides were falling apart. On Day 32, Celeste felt like Marco was an underrated strategic threat. She decided to throw out Marco's name to Mason. Mason agreed with Celeste's points and mentioned that Didi felt the same way. Celeste decided to speak with Josh before leaving for tribal. Josh mentioned that Daniel and Cody wanted to vote out Leon for being an overall game threat and that Lindsay, Marco, and Leon wanted to vote out Daniel to separate Daniel and Cody. Celeste told Josh that she wanted to vote out Marco before Leon since she felt like Leon could be used as a shield. At tribal, Marco used an idol on himself which negated Celeste's vote, along with Mason and Didi. The vote tied in a 3-3-0 vote between Daniel and Leon. At the revote, Leon was blindsided in a 4-3 vote after Celeste, Josh, Cody, and Didi voted together. Celeste was shocked that Didi flipped on Leon since they had a good relationship with each other. On Day 34, Daniel and Cody approached Celeste and mentioned voting for Didi. Celeste was surprised that they both wanted to target Didi since she saved Daniel at the previous vote. She started to realize that Didi was a social threat who would most likely receive a lot of jury votes. At tribal, Didi was voted out in a 5-2-1 vote. On Day 35, Celeste knew it was time to split up Daniel and Cody. She formed a voting alliance with Lindsay, Josh, Marco, and Mason to target Daniel. At tribal, Celeste was shocked when Daniel ended up using an idol on himself. Mason was blindsided and sent to the jury in a 2-0 vote. After tribal, Celeste realized that the game was moving at a chaotic pace and she needed to play a flashier game. On Day 36, Celeste was approached by Daniel and Cody once again. They knew that they had huge targets on their backs and wanted Celeste to save them and target Marco. Celeste was tired of Daniel and Cody sliding by and felt like she needed to send one of them home. At tribal, Cody was voted out in a 4-2 vote. On Day 37, Celeste explained to Daniel why she voted for Cody instead of Marco. Daniel told her that it was a mistake since Lindsay, Josh, and Marco formed a Final 3 with each other recently. Celeste told Daniel that she interested in sending Lindsay to the jury since she felt like Lindsay was an underrated game threat. Daniel agreed with Celeste. At tribal, Celeste and Daniel were unable to persuade Josh or Marco to come onto their side. Daniel was voted out in a 3-2 vote. After tribal, Celeste applauded the other 3 for sending Daniel home and for being on the right side of the vote. On Day 38, Celeste knew that she most likely needed to win immunity to make it to the Final 3. She was close to winning the challenge but ultimately lost to Marco. After the challenge, Celeste needed to figure out who her target was. She felt like Lindsay, Josh, and Marco were all threats in different ways. Celeste felt like she was the closest to Josh out of the 3. She decided to approach Josh and asked him if he would target either Lindsay or Marco. He didn't give her a straight answer, which worried Celeste. She then started to feel like Josh was the biggest threat still in the game since he won many immunity challenges and had a very good social game. She also felt like Marco and Lindsay would flip on Josh over each other. At tribal, Celeste tried to convince Marco and Lindsay to vote out Josh. She explained that he had a huge chance at winning the game. It was not enough to save herself and Celeste was the last person voted out in a 3-1 vote. She finished in 4th place and became the 10th and final member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Celeste felt like each member of the Final 3 brought something to the game. She asked each finalist to state why they should lose the game. Lindsay said there were multiple times she was out of the loop during a vote. Josh said that he didn't have the best strategic game. Marco said that he was on the bottom during a large portion of the game. In the end, Celeste felt like she bonded the most with Josh and that he had the best overall game out of the Final 3. Josh finished in 2nd place in a 5-3-2 vote, losing to Lindsay and receiving 1 more vote than Marco.
