Survivor US Season 43 Episode 11 Description
Hiding in Plain Sight
Karla confronted Sami about the stray votes she received at the last Tribal Council. He eventually admitted to writing her name down, and Owen rued about being on the wrong side of many of the previous votes. The next morning, a clue about an advantage in their jungle was revealed, and Cody found it to be the “Choose Your Champion” advantage, which let him bet on one of his fellow castaways to win the next immunity challenge, and if they did, he would also get immunity. He bet on Owen to win.
Immunity Challenge: Castaways hung underneath a grated steel barricade in the ocean as the tide rose. As the challenge wore on, it would give them less room to breathe, making it more difficult. If a player surfaced from the grate, they would eliminated from the challenge. The last castaway remaining won immunity.
Karla and Owen both outlasted the high tide, and a decision was made to grant them both individual immunity, additionally granting Cody immunity through his advantage. Karla initially wanted to target Cassidy, much to the delight of Sami. Jesse and Cody wanted to vote out Sami however, feeling that a single vote against Cassidy from Karla could weaken their relationship. At Tribal Council, Sami was sent home unanimously after a failed Shot in the Dark attempt.

Survivor US Show Description
Survivor is the American version of the international Survivor reality competition television franchise, itself derived from the Swedish television series Expedition Robinson created by Charlie Parsons which premiered in 1997. The American series premiered on May 31, 2000, on CBS. It is hosted by television personality Jeff Probst, who is also an executive producer along with Mark Burnett and the original creator, Parsons. The television show places a group of strangers in an isolated location, where they must provide food, fire, and shelter for themselves. The contestants compete in challenges including testing the contestants’ physical ability like running and swimming or their mental abilities like puzzles and endurance challenges for rewards and immunity from elimination. The contestants are progressively eliminated from the game as they are voted out by their fellow contestants until only one remains and is given the title of “Sole Survivor” and is awarded the grand prize of US$1,000,000 ($2,000,000 in Winners at War).
The American version has been very successful. From the 2000–01 through the 2005–06 television seasons, its first eleven seasons (competitions) rated among the top ten most-watched shows. It is commonly considered the leader of American reality TV because it was the first highly-rated and profitable reality show on broadcast television in the U.S., and is considered one of the best shows of the 2000s (decade). The series has been nominated for several Emmy Awards, including winning for Outstanding Sound Mixing in 2001, Outstanding Special Class Program in 2002, and was subsequently nominated four times for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program when the category was introduced in 2003. Probst won the award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program four consecutive times after the award was introduced in 2008. In 2007, the series was included in Time magazine’s list of the 100 greatest TV shows of all time. In 2013, TV Guide ranked it at #39 on its list of the “60 Best Series of All Time”.
The series’ 40th season Survivor: Winners at War premiered on February 12, 2020, during the 20th anniversary of the show, and finished airing on May 13, 2020. Production for the 41st and 42nd seasons was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and instead began production in spring 2021, with season 41 premiering on September 22, 2021. Season 41 was once again filmed in the Mamanuca Islands, Fiji.
