Survivor 50 Premiere: Why That First Tribal Council Vote Truly Hurts

“Survivor 50” is finally here, and along with its Xxl-sized, three-hour premiere came one tragic Tribal Council.

After a brutal immunity challenge that had the tribes crawling through mud and climbing up a wall, “Survivor 48” winner Kyle Fraser found himself with a ruptured Achilles tendon — ouch! The Vatu tribe still had what it took to get their injured teammate up the wall and after a puzzle showdown, Team Orange (Cila) was sent to Tribal Council where they unanimously decided to vote out… Jenna Lewis Dougherty, the season’s only “Survivor: Borneo” castaway.

And that is truly devastating.
