Who Got Voted Off 'Survivor 50' Tonight? Jimmy Fallon Seals One Player's Fate!
When the merge of Survivor 50 hit, the show was sure to keep the returning players on their toes with a litany of twists. In the past three weeks alone, we had the massive "Blood Moon" that sent a whopping three players out of the game, as well as the "Double Duo" drop that sent two people out at once. But the twists keep on a-coming, with a couple this week courtesy of another famous Survivor fan: Jimmy Fallon.
Here's our spoiler-filled recap of last night's episode of Survivor 50, including who went home and the new advantage Fallon brought into the game.
Who got voted off on Survivor 50 tonight?
Christian Hubicki
David vs. Goliath standout Christian Hubicki came into Survivor 50 wielding a massive slingshot: "Narrative warfare." And, indeed, through the first half of the game, Christian has massive control of the narrative - due in part to the fact that he attended Tribal Council in every single episode. But it wasn't just pants pooping and tripping that got him airtime.
From the very beginning, Christian found himself the social and strategic hub of both tribes he was a part of. He linked up quickly with Rick Devens, as the two hatched a plan to both give Aubry Bracco an idol, as well as plant a fake one at Tribal Council. He banked on a pregame relationship with Emily Flippen, even when she was at her most chaotic and outing his secrets. And, at the swap, he reunited with his former castmates Mike White and Angelina Keeley. Unfortunately, as he kept facing the vote, he had to prioritize the present over the past. Looking to build a future for his secret newborn son, he did what he couldn't last time, taking out Mike and Angelina in a move that not only severed their game ties, but perhaps real-life ones as well.
Despite going to Tribal Council so often, Christian seemed to have a surprisingly low profile going into the merge, especially with the alliance led by Coach Wade serving as a primary talking point. But, much like severe gastrointestinal distress, trouble can bubble up at any surprise moment. Christian broke his word to Jonathan Youngand Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick with his vote last episode, setting the new minority's sights squarely on him. Additionally, he began targeting Ozzy Lusth for playing the middle, unintentionally pitching it to his secret number one ally in Cirie Fields. And so, all of a sudden, the perceived middleman suddenly became a communal target.
Perhaps that's the reason why Christian opted to go on a journey following the Immunity Challenge. And, on paper, as one of the most prolific puzzle solvers in Survivor history, it seemed like a slam-dunk way to win an advantage. But Christian surprisingly had no brain with the no-brainer, failing the challenge. As a result, he didn't lose his vote, but, in a Survivor first, he was forced to vote for himself. That only added fuel to the fire for everyone in the game, who was tripping over themselves to get rid of such a savvy threat. And so, Christian was taken out, which some quite choice words for Jimmy Fallon: "This idea you had is terrible. No more ideas for you. I look forward to your apology."
Were any idols or advantages found or played on Survivor 50 tonight?
Technically speaking, Christian was forced to vote for himself as part of the "Jimmy Fallon One in the Urn" advantage. And much of the action of the episode's first half revolved around Rick's fake idol gambit last episode, as the majority of the tribe was incensed by him being so public and essentially putting a target on his back. Somehow, though, his implied safety was able to get him through the night without even needing to play the fake idol?

What is Jimmy Fallon's Survivor twist?
While Jimmy Fallon had a part in how this episode's challenge went down (see below), his biggest impact came in the journey that followed. Christian was taken out to a platform for a premise we've seen before: Solve a puzzle in a certain amount of time (as dictated by anchors falling into the seas) to earn an advantage. This advantage, however, was a brand-new one.
The "Jimmy Fallon One in the Urn" advantage allowed one person to put an automatic vote against someone in the urn before Tribal Council began. If Christian were to win it, he would write someone's name down right there and then, and that vote would automatically count against them that night. Unfortunately, Christian failed the challenge. As a result, there was an automatic vote in the urn, and it was for him. In a Survivor first, Christian was forced to vote against himself (something that has been against the rules up to this point), which he had to announce to everybody. The usually-loquacious robotics professor had some choice words towards the late-night host for this twist, both at Tribal Council and when ultimately voting for himself.
In the hands of...Jeff Probst?!
Fallon also played a role, according to Jeff Probst, in this season's version of the rice negotiation. As the host revealed in the season premiere, the fans voted for the players of Survivor 50 to not start the game with rice. However, they were given the opportunity to earn some in this week's Immunity Challenge. The only thing they had to do is have four people make a side bet: That they could outlast Probst himself in the challenge.
As the proceedings kicked off, Probst commented that this twist was due in part to an appearance he made on Fallon, where 90% of his audience wanted Probst to be a player himself. So, for about seven and a half minutes, he was. It was a grueling experience, however, with the Emmy winner immediately noting how surprisingly tough it was from the jump. Ultimately, while he outlasted four players, everyone who made the side bet still held on, allowing the tribe to get their rice. And it gave Probst even more appreciation for the immense efforts these players put into these challenges. As he puts it, "I bow down. I'll never talk the same trash again. Until next season."
