Luke Toki

Luke Toki is a contestant from and.

In 2017, he was known for his humorous confessionals and witty personality, as well as his close bond with eventual winner Jericho Malabonga. Luke quickly rose as a power player, and his refusal to be a backseat driver quickly worked to his advantage. After Henry Nicholson was swapped over to the opposing tribe, Luke lead Jacqui Patterson's elimination, with which allowed him to rise to the power position on Asaga. Luke was able to fly to the merge unscathed, where his numerous allies allowed him to travel deep into the merge, before being blindsided for his impressive resume and overall power over the game.

Australian Survivor (2017)
As one of Asaga's strongest and most liked members due to his humorous antics, Luke sough not only to take control of the game but to shake things up whenever possible. His first plan was to throw a wrench in Sam's split vote plan that would see Joan voted out in a 9-3 vote. Luke, Jericho, and Ben flipped their votes from Joan to Kent to force a revote, in which this time they voted out Joan. Though it did not change the overall outcome, it did make Sam, Kent, and Mark W. a bit more paranoid going into the following vote, and gave Luke's group a chance to pull in Sarah, Jacqui, and Henry to take control of the tribe. During this time, Luke and Jericho developed a close friendship through their affinity for scheming and putting other tribe members against each other, namely the pairs Sam/Mark W. and Jacqui/Henry. Luke was one of the Asaga members who threw the challenge on Day 16 to finally vote out Sam. Luke then had his sights set on Jacqui, and although he failed on his first attempt (Mark going out the next Tribal Council), a swap that saw Ben and Henry switch tribes with Anneliese and Tara (the latter two voted out in a fake Tribal Council) allowed Luke to succeed in the second attempt. Luke's core alliance of Jericho, Sarah, and Michelle maintained control and voted Kent out next.

A second tribe swap saw a collision course paved for the season's two most vocal personalities and strategists in Luke and A.K., the latter who despite overplaying strategically managed to retake control of Samatau. However, A.K. and his ally Peter were swapped into a minority as Odette stayed loyal to her original tribemates and Tara held a grudge from A.K. voting her out of Samatau earlier in the game. This resulted in A.K.'s elimination and eventually Peter selecting the Mutiny option at the following Tribal Council, sending the latter back to Samatau. Before that, Sarah was caught plotting with Peter about possibly voting out Luke. Sarah played it off saying she was targetting Odette, but Luke remained suspicious. Ultimately the two strategic players joined forces to take out Odette and go to the merge with four remaining Asaga members, albeit reconnecting with some allies come merge time.

Ziggy winning the initial immunity challenge meant that the other physical threats in Luke, Henry, and Locky were in danger. However, Tara's connection to Locky and Luke's connections to Michelle and Henry allowed the Asage quartet to vote out the leader of A.K.'s remaining allies in Jarrad. This new alliance would succeed in voting out Anneliese when Ziggy flipped and used her super idol to cancel out Anneliese's regular idol. However, at the next reward, Michelle, Luke, and Tessa formed the "Champagne alliance" in order to blindside Henry, a physical threat with an idol in possession. Sarah, Jericho, and Peter joined them and the blindside was a success. All alliances and bets were off soon after, as everyone claimed credit for Henry's blindside and started seeking new targets. Tessa made a plan to vote out either Locky or Jericho next, so Luke formed a counter plan with only Jericho and Sarah, knowing there would be a split vote between Locky and Peter. The result was an unprecedented in any version of Survivor 3-2-2-2 vote where Tessa was blindsided. Luke seemed to be in a precarious but shaky position, but Locky and Sarah remained bigger threats than him. Locky however would go on an immunity run resulting in Sarah being voted out on Day 44. Luke tried to shift the target off of him to Ziggy, but Tara, Peter, and Michelle sided with Ziggy and Locky to vote Luke out 5-2 on Day 46, with Jericho remaining loyal to the end.

At Final Tribal Council, Jericho claimed that his plan all along was to make moves with Luke as a shield, albeit with the odd analogy depicting Jericho as Santa and Luke as his reindeer. Luke found it humorous and was a good sport, crediting Jericho's contributions to their alliance and helped Jericho defeat Tara by a 6-3 vote to become Sole Survivor.
