The start of Survivor Season 41 Episode 1 showed Jeff Probst telling the Ua Tribe, Yase Tribe, and Luvu Tribe they won’t begin their season with bags of rice or any advantages. Instead, only one tribe — the tribe who found their boat oars and rowed to shore the fastest — would begin with a few necessities, such as flint. The Ua Tribe made it to shore first, giving them the early advantage.

The immunity challenge started with each tribe running up and down a large net. Then, each tribe had to crawl through wood shavings under low bars until they arrived at a large sled, puzzle pieces in a bag, and heavy sandbags. The tribes had to clear all of their heavy sandbags and place them on a platform before running back to the sled with the puzzle pieces. The tribes then moved the puzzle pieces on top of the sled through a track, and they dragged the heavy sleds up two ramps. Finally, the challenge ended with a puzzle.

Survivor Season 41 spoiler alert: The Luvu Tribe won. And the other two tribes headed to Tribal Council. Additionally, the two losing tribes lost their flint.

So, who goes home in episode 1? According to Survivor Season 41 spoilers, Eric from the Yase Tribe goes home first. None of the players from the Yase Tribe chose to go for the “Shot in the Dark” twist. The twist potentially gives a player complete safety — but if luck isn’t on their side, they lose their vote. In the end, the tribe placed four votes against Eric and one against Tiffany.

Additionally, Yase tribe member Xander ended Tribal Council with an extra vote he can take with him in the future due to an advantage earlier in the game.

The Ua Tribe also went to Tribal Council. Sara went home with three votes against her. Ricard received one vote and Brad received one vote. No one on the Ua Tribe took their “Shot in the Dark” vote.

Due to an earlier advantage, Ua Tribe member J.D. received an extra vote for future use.
