The story

Dale Wentworth was a Washington farmer who came to San Juan del Sur to play Blood vs. Water with his daughter, Kelley — years before she'd become one of the game's great idol artists. Dale played a crafty, old-school game.

His signature move was a gamble: he whittled a fake hidden idol to try to scare the tribe off his trail. It didn't take, and Dale was voted out thirteenth. A clever, game-aware run cut short.
