One of this season’s favorites Survivor was just kicked out of the game in a move that surprised even those who voted for it.
Australian Survivor favorite Sam Gash’s dream run came to an end on Monday night episode, with the endurance athlete and his wife driven by fellow Mark Wales in a chocolate elimination.
One of the most played players this season, Sam was also halfway through Blood vs. WaterHis only remaining couple and seems to be in a powerhouse position. Her husband had just won the latest immunity necklace, and the couple still had two unused immunity idols at their disposal.
“We are in a very good position – you are not going home tonight because we have two idols,” Mark told her in front of tribal council.
His confidence continued as they arrived at the tribal council, telling host Jonathan Lapaglia that it would be “pretty predictable how things will go” with the vote tonight – even though his allies were busy whispering and talking to those out there were to get him. and Sam.
Votes were cast, and LaPaglia made the usual call for anyone wishing to play a hidden immunity idol – leaving Josh, who was in charge of some of these whispered schemes, to quietly plead with Mark and Sam for one of their they play.
“I tell you, play it for Sam. Trust me,” he whispered.
“Why? Tell us why,” Sam said – but it was too late. LaPaglia read the votes, and Sam won the majority – including, later, a vote by Josh.
After her elimination, Sam admitted to the cameras that she was a little relieved to be out of the game and was able to leave it to her husband to try to bring the $ 500,000 home.
“The goal for Mark and I is to have one person in the last three,” she said. “It seems a bit? Of course, but the heat has been on me for the last two weeks, and there’s the other side of me who’s happy to just wash it off and not be a bit of a public enemy number one.
She also opened up about one of the most controversial aspects of her game, she and Mark’s refusal to “even tell their closest allies that they were in possession of a second immunity idol.”
“The big question is, should I have revealed that I had an idol? Deep in my heart I believe that once an idol has public knowledge, it loses its power. I kept it because I wanted to make a play. Now that’s it. and Mark. ”
Australian Survivor continues 19:30 Sunday at ten.
