Each week Inside Survivor contributor Rob Brodeur will be collecting various Survivor related statistics and information based off the latest episode of Survivor: Winners At War.

Cast/Season

As of this episode, Sandra has now made it to 100 days played on Survivor, Parvati has played 120 days of Survivor, and Rob passed 120 days after episode 1 (he’s currently at 123 days played). Ozzy still holds the record for most days played with 128, however, some of those days were on Redemption Island, so Rob technically has the most days played while in the game. Rob has passed Cirie, who previously held the record for the most days played in-game with 121 days played.

Sandra joins Rob and Parvati as the only winners to play 100+ days.

Sandra is the ninth player to play 100+ days. The others are as follows: Ozzy Lusth – 128 days (15 of these days were spent on Redemption Island). Rob Mariano – 123 days. Cirie Fields – 121 days. Parvati Shallow – 120 days. Aubry Bracco – 111 days (22 of these days were spent on Edge of Extinction). Amanda Kimmel – 108 days. Rupert Boneham – 104 days (3 of these days were spent on Redemption Island). Andrea Boehlke – 103 days (4 of these days were spent on Redemption Island). Sandra Diaz-Twine – 100 days.

Every season Rob has played was in a different location. He currently holds the record for most locations played in with five. His seasons took place in Marquesas, Panama, Samoa, Nicaragua, and Fiji.



Tribal Council

Danni was voted out 8-1. She is the second winner to be the third person voted out and sent to the Edge of Extinction after Chris Underwood in Edge of Extinction. Both of them were on a blue starting tribe. Both Jim and Morgan in Guatemala were voted out with an 8-1 vote.

This was the first tribal council this season where only two players received votes.

Both players voted out of Sele (Natalie and Danni) are 2-time players, while Amber on Dakal is a 3-time player.

Nobody has received votes at more than one tribal council yet.

Both Guatemala returnees (Stephenie and Danni) share some parallels. They were both voted out pre-merge during an all-returning player season while on a blue tribe. Stephenie was voted out of the Heroes tribe on Heroes vs. Villains, while Danni was voted out of the Sele tribe on Winners at War. Sandra and Tyson were on an opposing red tribe when Stephenie and Danni were voted out. They were both the second person voted out of their tribe. They were both the highest-ranking player in their respective tribes on Guatemala and the second-lowest ranking person (not taking EOE into account) on their tribe the following season. Both of them were voted out by the three remaining women on their tribe. They both were voted out on Day 6. At their first tribal council, they both voted for someone who made it to Final Tribal Council without any votes against them. Stephenie voted for Sugar, who made it to FTC in Gabon with zero votes against her. Danni voted for Natalie, who made it to FTC in San Juan del Sur with zero votes against her. They both voted for one of the finalists from Micronesia when they were voted out. Stephenie, the runner-up of Guatemala, voted for Amanda, the runner-up of Micronesia. Danni, the winner of Guatemala, voted for Parvati, the winner of Micronesia.

With Danni now eliminated, everyone from Guatemala has now been voted out of Survivor. Guatemala is the fifth season to have every player on its cast be voted out at some point. Borneo, Heroes vs. Villains, Cambodia, and Game Changers are the others.

All three players voted out so far have been voted out pre-merge for the first time this season.

Cook Islands is the only season where Parvati didn’t receive votes against her pre-merge. In Micronesia, she received votes when Yau-Man was voted out. In Heroes vs. Villains, she received votes when Tyson was voted out. In Winners at War, she received a vote when Danni was voted out.

When Parvati won Micronesia, she was the first woman to win since Danni in Guatemala, they both voted for each other in this episode.

Winners at War is the fifth season where women were the first three players voted out. Panama, Fiji, Gabon, and Caramoan are the others.

Michele is the only woman on Sele to not have a vote against her.

Adam is the only man on Sele to have votes against him.

Amber and Yul were the only winners going into this season with a perfect voting record from their most recent season (always voted for the person going home). With Amber being voted out, and Yul correctly voting for her, he’s the only player currently with a perfect combined voting record. Ethan, Parvati, and Tony had perfect voting records in their winning season, but they’ve also played another season between their winning season and Winners at War in which they didn’t have a perfect voting record.



Tribes

Dakal is a version of “dakai” which is the Fijian word for “gun.” The symbol for the Dakal tribe is a gun. The torches of the Dakal members have guns on them.

Sele is the Fijian word for “knife” or “to cut.” The symbol for the Sele tribe is a knife. The torches of the Sele tribe members have knives/swords on them.



Reward/Immunity Challenge – “Draggin’ the Dragon”

This challenge was previously used in Cagayan and Cambodia. Tony and Sarah have won this challenge twice. Jeremy won this challenge in Cambodia but lost it this season.

Jeremy found his hidden immunity idol during this challenge in Cambodia.

This is the first time this challenge was used in a season with only two tribes competing.

Dakal has won both combined immunity/reward challenges while Sele has only won an immunity challenge.

Edge of Extinction/Fire Tokens

Natalie found an advantage (Safety Without Power) and sold it to Jeremy for one fire token. This is the same advantage offered to Janet in Island if the Idols that she turned down.

Only Sele members have been willed fire tokens. Natalie sent hers to Jeremy, Amber sent hers to Rob, Danni sent hers to Denise.

Natalie, Rob, and Denise have the most fire tokens with two apiece. Natalie is the only player on the Edge of Extinction to have any fire tokens.

Sandra, Danni, and Amber have the least fire tokens with zero.

Everyone else has one fire token.

Hidden Immunity Idol

Denise found a split idol, in which she had to keep one half and give the other half to another player. She gave half to Adam.

Kim found a split idol, in which she had to keep one half and give the other half to another player. She gave half to Sophie. All four players in possession of the half idols are playing Survivor for their second time this season.

Both seasons to feature Edge of Extinction, the first three idols in the game were found/held by women. Lauren, Kelley, and Aubry had the first three idols in Edge of Extinction. Sandra, Denise, and Kim have the first three idols of Winners at War.



Confessionals

Adam and Natalie had the most confessionals this episode with 5. Natalie has the most confessionals this season with 12. Adam has the most confessionals for a player still in the game with 9.

Nick, Sandra, and Michele had the least confessionals with 0. Michele is the only Sele member to not have a confessional this episode. Nick is the only man to not have a confessional this episode.



Ratings

The second episode received 7.2 million viewers and 1.4 in the Adults 18-49 demo. This is Survivor’s largest audience since the Edge of Extinction season finale.

Episode Title

Natalie said the episode title “It’s Like a Survivor Economy” when talking about the fire tokens. This is the first episode title that’s been said by someone while on the Edge of Extinction. Joe said an episode title in Edge of Extinction, but he said it while he was sitting on the jury at tribal council, not at the Edge of Extinction.
