 Dozens filled the Phelps High School cafeteria Wednesday to show their support for Donathan Hurley and celebrate the premiere of Survivor Ghost Island. Donathan says he's overwhelmed with the support he's been given. I'm just ecstatic of all the support that I've received since everybody's found out that I am on the show. Just seeing everybody here tonight from my community, my family's here and I'm just overjoyed. Hopefully they're in for a great show and they enjoy it just as much as I think they're going to. Anyone who knows Donathan knows the special relationship that he has with his grandmother who says that although she missed him terribly, she's happy for the opportunity that he's been given. I didn't think I was going to make it because I did miss him, but I'm glad that he went somewhere. But he's my baby. He's been taking care of me for the last two months. Waits on me from hand to toe. Even cooks for me. Just before the first episode aired, Donathan gave us a quick preview of What to Expect. First episode, just to expect Game Book Survivor, it's going to be a really very strategic season and it's going to be a very strategic episode. So right out of the gate, I think a lot of people are just going to be invested and everybody's going to be having some chills probably at the response tonight. Donathan could not have been more correct as social media overwhelmingly declared him as the fan favorite after the show. Reporting from Phelps, I'm Shawn Allen for EKB News.
