'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40 Episode 3: Sandra sits out 2 immunity challenges, fans want her to leave

Sandra Diaz-Twine is known as the queen of the 'Survivor' franchise because she is the only contestant to have won two different seasons

Sandra Diaz-Twine sits out for the second challenge in a row and fans claim its time for the queen to go.

'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40 returned on February 26 night for Episode 3 titled 'Out for Blood', and while Sele seems to be losing every challenge except one, fans wonder why Sandra gets to sit out of two challenges and affirm that she needs to get voted out.

Sandra is known as the queen of the 'Survivor' franchise because she is the only contestant to have won two different seasons. Despite there being other legendary players battling it out for the $2 million and the greatest survivor's title, no one has come close to Sandra's record.

Now back on 'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40, one cannot expect anything less from Sandra who has a ruthless strategy to prove she is the only queen. In a video that was uploaded by the series, Sandra reveals her strategy saying, "In the majority of the seasons the women always go first. I’m gonna help that happen. I’m gonna vote out every single female here because there can only be one Queen."

To date, Dakal has only gone to one tribal council and Sandra has successfully managed to get Amber Mariano voted out and sent to the Edge of Extinction. While she might be doing great at her game, fans wonder why she has been sitting out two challenges in a row. 

During last week's challenge, Dakal had to have one contestant sit out and Sandra chose to sit out. Back again this week during their immunity challenge, Sandra once again chooses to stay out of the challenge.

Making a note of this, fans question how come she is still in the game despite sitting out two challenges, and affirm that she needs to get voted out soon. Taking to Twitter a fan wrote, "Sandra needs to go.... what does she do, sit out every challenge? Pathetic. #SurvivorWinnersAtWar #survivor." 

"Sandra needs to go ASAP she doesn’t play in challenges & she’s a brilliant player - next week maybe ... #Survivor," a fan wrote. While another shared, "Survivor; why is it Sandra sits out every comp. Vote her out." 

"Why does Sandra get to sit out every challenge.? If you sat out once someone else had to sit out. #Survivor," a fan said. Adding to that another wrote, "Am curious as to why Sandra agrees not to participate in the challenges. Is it strategy vs she might pull the team down? Knowing her game there has to be a plan, right? Even at home her mind is thinking, navigating as to why to do. The gal is sharp!" 

"Why did Sandra sit out again? I thought you couldn’t sit out multiple times. I guess she doesn’t actually have to do anything physical and they still won’t vote her out," another fan added. 

There is a rule that a contestant cannot sit out two challenges in a row. But once the tribal council is done, it resets, which allows Sandra to sit out once again without breaking the rules. Since she has that safety net going for her, it might be time for her to go home if her tribe members notice it and plan to get her voted off in the next tribal council.
