Severe weather conditions continued to be an issue for contestants on Wednesday’s Survivor, as their Fijian island was pummeled with a second cyclone in just a 12 day span. But this time it was so bad that Jeff Probst had to write one of his serious letters, one letting the contestants know they had to be evacuated. “An hour ago, we were enjoying the sun, and then clouds blew over. It got real windy. We started getting pelted with sand and rain. Everything is soaking wet, and everyone is freezing,” cast member John Hennigan said during the show. “And now there is a river of water that is going through the bottom of our shelter.”The full cast evacuation is just the second one in the show’s history, the first coming in 2016 during the GenX vs. Millennials season. But of course the game did go on despite a little, ok, a lot of damage. With one contestant saying his camp looked like, “a bomb went off.” “We get back from being evacuated, and our shelter is obliterated,” contestant Angelina Keeley said during the episode. “There is nothing left standing. And had any of us been inside of that, I mean, it would have been game over, for sure.”So with two cyclones now come and gone, and two contestants already out of the game due to injuries, for these contestants this season really is all about surviving.“This is certainly the craziest season that I can remember in terms of every single element of this game so far has been fraught with some kind of crazy catastrophe,” contestant Christian Hubicki said.Survivor airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.
