Miami Marlins' manager Mike Redmond earlier this year guessed team president David Samson would either be the first contestant voted off "Survivor" or would make it to the end. He was right.

Samson was done an hour into Wednesday night's two-hour season premier of "Survivor: Cagayan." By virtue of Samson's Brains tribe flubbing a cart obstacle course, one member had to go immediately.

The game started well enough for Samson, who was designated group leader. Told he needed to pick a tribe member for immediate dismissal, Samson targeted Garrett, a high-stakes poker playing adonis. Samson figured Garrett's combination of brains and brawn represented the biggest threat to himself.

That put Samson in Garrett's crosshairs, and in the end end the buffed gambler got his way. Samson was voted off four votes to two.

Samson will have a longer run next month, when he plays the role of Lorne Michaels in the New Theater production of "Not Ready for Primetime," a play based on the early seasons of "Saturday Night Live." Opening night is March 21, and the production runs through April 13.
