Episode 14 Stats

Each week Inside Survivor contributor Rob Brodeur will be collecting various Survivor related statistics and information based off the latest episode of Survivor: Game Changers.

Tribal Council #1

• Cirie was eliminated due to being the only person eligible to be voted out after the advantage and idols were played.
• She’s only received nine votes against her total in four seasons of Survivor.

• She’s the second female to be voted out four times.
  • Andrea is the first.
    • Cirie is the first female to be voted out of four different seasons, as Andrea was voted out twice in Redemption Island.
• Cirie is the fourth person to be on the jury three times.
  • Ozzy, Andrea, Rupert are the others.
    • Cirie and Andrea are the only players to vote for the correct winner three times.

• She’s never been voted out by a majority of her tribe.
  • 2-2 vote (with a tiebreaker) in Panama.
  • Amanda had the sole vote to vote her out in Micronesia.
  • 3 out of 8 people voted her out in Heroes vs. Villains (Tom used a hidden immunity idol).
  • Nobody voted her out in Game Changers.

• This tribal council holds the record for most people immune at tribal with five out of the six people being immune.
  • This tribal council also holds the record for most hidden immunity idols being played at once with three.
• Cirie is the sixth person never to have her name written down during a season (including votes to win) without quitting or being medevaced. The others are as follows:
  • Paschal in Marquesas.
  • Jonathan & Wanda in Palau.
  • Sugar in Gabon.
  • Rupert in Blood vs. Water.
• This is the first time the legacy advantage was used where the person using it would have been voted out.
  • The person who used the legacy advantage in both Millennials vs. Gen X and Game Changers got at least one vote against them at the tribal council they used it.
• The Cambodia final six tribal council also had a “no votes” situation.
• In the four all-returning player seasons, the winner has always been voted for by the person that went home at the final six tribal council.

  • In Game Changers, Cirie voted for Sarah.
    • All four of these players went on to vote for the correct winner.
• Coincidentally, the actual vote total in this tribal council was 3-2-1, which is a voting strategy that Cirie employed during the final six tribal council in her first season, Panama.
• Tai is the third person to use two hidden immunity idols at the same tribal council.
  • Parvati and Malcolm were the others. However, technically Tai is the only one to physically “play” both idols (as in, hands them to Jeff). Sandra and Jerri played the idols that Parvati gave them, and Eddie played one of the idols Malcolm gave him.
• This was the first tribal council where someone other than Jeff Probst declared that “The tribe has spoken,” as he allowed Cirie to say it instead.

Tribal Council #3
