Thumb Chopped Off in Shocking Survivor Moment

On a recent episode of Survivor, one contestant attempted an unprecedented move by trying to vote himself out of the game. Rob Antonson devised a convoluted plan involving another tribe member, Eric Macksoud, hoping to eliminate himself. However, the strategy failed when Rob discovered players are not allowed to vote for themselves. This attempt at self-elimination was deemed a 'Survivor first' by host Jeff Probst.

Another shocking event occurred when Brady Booker accidentally severed a portion of his thumb with a machete. Despite the severe injury, Brady remained remarkably composed, even asking for the severed part to be saved. Medical personnel attended to the injury, and Brady was cleared to continue in the game, making this a second 'Survivor first' for the episode, according to Probst.
