'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40 returned on Wednesday night, and in a blindsided elimination, Tyson gets sent to the Edge of Extinction. But before he left, he bequeathed his fire token to Nick, who was his main target and fans say it was the right move. 

Titled 'I Like Revenge' Episode 4 of 'Survivor: Winners at War' showcased the veterans start to target each other as the competition gets tougher by the day. Last week we saw old school contestant Ethan Zohn get booted after he received the most votes during tribal council. He joined Danni, Amber and Natalie at the Edge of Extinction where they have to live the tough life and fight it out to get back in the game. 

Back again this week, Adam feels left out of his tribe after Ethan gets the boot. So he tries to help out and produce more back on Sele's island. That doesn't go unnoticed with the other tribe members as they know what he is trying to do. But not everyone back in tribe trusts him again after he blurted out to Rob about the plan of wanting to get Parvati booted. Interestingly, Rob is her closest alliance.



 

Waking up the next day at camp, Adam shares, "Now I feel like everything’s completely changed, and I need to make an apology tour.” Meanwhile back at Dakal, everyone is like a happy camper, because they escaped two tribal councils by winning the immunity challenge. Little did they know things were going to go for a toss during their next immunity challenge. 

For their immunity challenge, both tribes had to swim, get a boat to a tower where they will have to retrieve a set of keys to unlock the puzzle back at the shore and complete it. Dakal is off to an easy start, as Sele struggles to get the keys. Parvati and Denise struggle to jump off the plank to get the keys, so Adam steps in. 

Meanwhile, Dakal already got the keys and is way ahead in their puzzle. After several failed attempts, Adam finally gets the key and the tribe is back in the challenge. They catch up with Dakal, who are now struggling with their puzzle. 

Sele managed to go through the puzzle with ease, while Dakal struggled. Despite trailing behind, Sele managed to catch up and grab immunity this week, letting them skip the tribal council.

Back on Dakal's island, Tyson tries to get Nick booted because he is the newest winner amongst them all, and he was the reason they lost the challenge. While he assumed that everyone had his back, Wendell points out that currently, Tyson is the biggest threat because if he does make it the merge or swap and is joined with Rob and Parvati, that could ruin everyone's game.

Arriving at the tribal council, Yul makes everyone promise that if there is a tribe swap, Dakal will stay strong. Nick reveals that Parvati was his crush in high school. Tallying the votes of the night, Nick and Kim received one vote each and Tyson received five votes sending him to Edge of Extinction. 

Though it was a blindsided elimination for Tyson, he decided to bequeath his fire token to Nick who was his target. This gesture from Tyson has fans affirm they respect his decision.



 

Taking to Twitter a fan wrote, "Tyson giving his fire token to Nick was a testament to him respecting the game and the person who ultimately got him out. #SurvivorWinnersAtWar #Survivo." Adding to that another said, "Awwwwwwwwwwww I love that Tyson gave it to Nick. He loves Tyson. He went on and on in interviews how he was his fav. Classy act. #Survivor #Survivor40." 

"Class move from Tyson to give his fire token to Nick after attempting to vote him out. #Survivor," a fan wrote. While another shared, "That was an adorable little gesture from Tyson to give his fire token to Nick. I appreciate this storyline. #Survivor." 

"Tyson one of my favs gone. How good was he giving his fire token to Nick! What surprise, giving it to the person he targeted... #Survivor," a fan shared.
