‘Survivor’ 49 Premiere: Was [Spoiler] the Right First Boot? (Poll)

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for the Survivor 49 premiere.] Jeff Probst warned that the Fiji heat hit the Survivor 49 cast fast, but this is a uniquely funny bunch even without weather-induced delirium driving their behavior. The first episode of Survivor 49 proved as much. This charismatic bunch had memorable characters on tribes Hina, Kele, and Uli, resulting in one of the more memorable first-boot players of the new era. It was also a disappointing first elimination for a couple of reasons (stay tuned for our exit interview with this player tomorrow). The two-hour Survivor premiere aired on Wednesday, September 24, on CBS. There are always standout personalities on this Emmy-winning competition series, but Season 49 definitely has more per tribe than usual.
