Who got voted off in the Survivor 42 premiere?
Jackson Fox
In a rarely-seen move, host and executive producer Jeff Probst stopped by for a one-on-one chat with Jackson. There, he revealed the hospital transport worker had not disclosed the lithium medication he had recently weaned himself off of right before starting the show. Due to the possible health liabilities that came from stopping the medication, and its exaggerated effects in the starvation and conditions of Survivor, Probst said Jackson would be removed from the game.
Zach Wurtenberger
Zach’s passion for Survivor was palpable throughout his three days in the game, even filling in Probst quotes for the veteran host. But his weakness in the first Immunity Challenges had the rest of the tribe looking in his direction. Zach hoped he was protected by his “skinny guy” alliance with Romeo, as well as the paranoia towards Tori for her idol hunting. But he played the “Shot in the Dark” advantage to guarantee his safety, which failed. Zach lost his vote, and became the first person in Survivor history to get every single vote at a Tribal Council.
Were any advantages found in the Survivor 42 premiere?
In the very first challenge, Drea, Hai, and Lindsay were given the “Advantage Amulet.” It was a totem that held different power depending on how many of them were left in the game, with power increasing the fewer of them were left. Additionally, like the Survivor 41 premiere, three contestants took a trip to a cross-tribal summit where they faced another opportunity to get an advantage. Drea, Jenny, and Maryanne were given the chance to risk their vote for the possibility of an extra vote, or protect their vote to avoid losing it. Jenny protected her vote, while Drea and Maryanne both risked and each got extra votes.
