It’s ‘Survivor’ time, guys! The premiere episode saw all three tribes giving their best to win the immunity tasked, but it was the Blue tribe that won the task and were saved. In the end, we saw two people going home from the Green and Yellow tribes.

It was Sarah and Abraham who were the first two people to get evicted from the show and the game has already shown how politics and connections work on ‘Survivor’. However, the game gets even more interesting when a contestant finds an IDOL and gets a lot of advantages. We saw a couple of players already looking out for an Idol during the premiere episodes, but it was in the second episode that someone was able to find the idol and it was none other than Xander. The idol notification said that there are other idols as well and other players need to find it in order to take more advantage. However, until then, he loses his vote.

However, he tells about finding the idol to Evvie, who is not thrilled by it and she tells it to other girls as well. After the entire scenario, fans believe that Xander is too dumb to tell everyone about it and would be booted out if he keeps doing that. One of the users said, “OMG why is he telling everyone what he got! Watch him get booted lmao.” Another one said, “Xander running his mouth.” Another user shared, “Xander shouldn’t have said anything. Yikes.”



 



 



 

Meanwhile, another fan noted, “Now why Xander tell the whole damn island he got the idol.” Another used opined, “This man is gonna get booted by his own doing! Just shut up!!” Another user shared, “Oh wooooow this power is nuts! Zander is stupid for telling anyone!”



 



 

The advantages given to him will come into effect when they go into the tribal council for voting. However, the way Evvie told everything about the advantages to other girls, it seems they will be ready for it and planning has already started. Was Xander too dumb to tell about finding the idol to his allies? If he is a fan of the show, then he must realize that there will be only one winner and everyone will do anything to win the competition.

'Survivor' Season 41 returns to CBS with a new episode every Wednesday at 10 pm EST.
