In 32 seasons of “Survivor” we have never seen an episode so intense, with three castaways succumbing to the harsh realities of the game, and one, Caleb, falling so hard he had to be medically evacuated. In the weeks leading up to last night’s episode, there were theories which castaway might be pulled from the game, but nobody pegged Big Brother’s seemingly invincible Beast-Mode-Cowboy to be the one to leave like this.

For the first time “Survivor” completely broke format and gave audiences a glimpse into the scope of the production as the behind the scenes players became a part of the story with everyone jumping in to help Debbie, Cydney and Caleb as their bodies fell victim to heat stroke. The Gondol tribe was devastated to see one of their own go, especially Caleb, who , in the early stages of the game, appeared to be in a good position to go deep.

As usual, the brawn tribe continued to clash and set up the tone for what has been rumoured to be a season filled with extreme bullying. After Alecia proved to be more cheerleader than warrior during the enduring reward challenge, Jason and Scott laid into her. She stood up for herself and didn’t back down as the guys unleashed, proving she did belong on the brawn tribe. Later, they lost immunity, and Jeff gave To Tang the option to vote right then and there but Alecia declined, opting not to quit. There was no time for us to see what happened back at camp as things picked up at tribal council.

Unfortunately for Alecia, the outcome was the same and she got the boot, despite Jeff proclaiming he was rooting for her.

In this week’s episode of “Post Tribal, Survivor: Cambodia – Second Chance” fan-favourite and fourth-place finisher Kelley Wentworth joins Erin Cebula and slips into the co-host seat to dish on this punishing season. Erin and Kelley first catch up with Caleb to find out what happened after he was air lifted off the beach , what it was like watching it all back last night, what his strategy would have been moving forward and how soon he’s ready to go back for a round two. Then, Alecia is in the hot seat to give us some more insight into To Tang’s volatile dynamic and that uncomfortable scene between her and Jason and Scott. Has she patched things up with the NBA player and bounty hunter? And does she forgive Cydney for ratting out her idol-clue find to the boys.
