In week two of the 50^th season of “Survivor,” Gulf Coast native Jonathan Young helped his tribe, Kalo, in both challenges and got to spend time and show off his skills in the water.

Young said in last week’s premiere episode that he would be bringing “Jonathan 2.0” to this season of CBS’ reality TV show “Survivor,” which is entirely made up of “legendary” returning castaways and is “in the hands of the fans.”

During this week’s episode, Young showed his tribe — and the audience — what some of his tactics might be this time around.

He said he wanted to work on his loyalty and how he supported his tribe. He combines this goal with his love for being in the water and spends most of his spare time fishing.

In the episode, Young said Benjamin “Coach” Wade has been his “No. 1” partner within the tribe. At one point, the two were seen spearfishing together in open water when Wade got a leg cramp and could not swim.

Young helped keep him afloat until surrounding safety boats came to give him a lift to the shore.

Wade said he “would’ve died if it weren’t for Jonathan.”

Mike White, also on the Kalo tribe, laughed at how Wade, who is 53, seemed like he was trying to show off with Young, 32, and ended up looking like “a helpless bug in a pool.”

That’s not the only time Young was able to spend time in the water in this episode, as he was selected as a diver for the first challenge, which was a water-based obstacle course. The Kalo tribe placed second in this challenge, winning a small amount of camp supplies.

In the second challenge, where two tribes won immunity from elimination, castaways had to run through the forest, untie three 200-pound stuffed snakes in their tribe’s color and drag it back to the starting line — through an obstacle course. Once all the snakes were in their right spots, the three members of the tribe worked to move a ball along a winding, hole-filled snake table.

Throughout much of the challenge, Kalo was in the lead. Young was one of the first runners from his tribe to retrieve a snake and bring it back through the course.

“Survivor” host Jeff Probst said, “Jonathan is not messing around,” as Young dragged the large snake toy through a rope web tunnel.

Young also helped his team as one of the handlers to move the ball.

Close to the end of the challenge, the other tribes, Cila and Vatu, were also in the lead and the game was neck in neck until Vatu won, claiming immunity.

After dropping the ball a few times, Kalo secured immunity with a second-place win, sending Cila back to tribal council for another member to be eliminated.

This week, Savannah Louie, from last season of “Survivor,” was sent home after being voted out by every other member of her tribe.
