Fans react as Morriah gets eliminated on Survivor Season 43

After the Immunity challenge, Coco and Vesi tribes won their immunity idols, marking them safe in the challenge. Meanwhile, the Baka tribe went to the Tribal Council from where one of the members had to be voted out.

As gambling began with the Baka Tribe, Gabler wanted to make a risky move but was advised against it. Elle wanted to vote out Morriah and told Jeanine that she didn't want to continue with the all-women alliance since they need to keep the men for strength. Meanwhile, Sami and Morriah decided to vote out Owen and conveyed the same to Elie and Jeanine.

At the Tribal Council, Elle's plan worked and Morriah was eliminated. Fans, however, were disappointed with the results and took to social media to express their concerns. They blamed Elle for ruining the girls alliance and the members for voting Morriah out when she performed really well in the challenge.

What happened on the premiere episode of Survivor Season 43?

The 18 Survivor castaways enter the Fiji islands determined to win the title and the cash prize. They were welcomed by host Jeff Probst and had to explain their motives for being in the competition. After an inspiring speech from the host, the contestants began their journey.

For the Reward challenge, the contestants had to pick up crates from the water in the jungle, and get them back to the island, and assemble the crates to make a cube. One of them had to then climb up, remove the keys and throw it to the ground. Although Coco established an early lead, Baka and Vesi caught up soon after. With Cody's help, the Vesi tribe won supplies.

The other two Survivor tribes had to either dig in or solve a puzzle to win the supplies. Geo and Ryan from the Coco tribe volunteered to dig in and the latter found the supplies in under 30 minutes. Meanwhile, Sami quickly solved the puzzle to gain the Baka tribe their supplies.

Back in the camp, major alliances began to form. Vesi tribe members Noelle and Justine formed an alliance. Cody suspected the alliance brewing and formed one himself between Nneka and Jesse. However, Jesse chose to play in the middle as he realized he was wanted by even Noelle and Justine.

At Survivor Baka tribe camp, Owen tried building alliances but soon realized people were being guarded but a women's alliance was formed with members including Elie, Morriah, and Jeanine. At the Coco Tribe camp, Lindsay, Karla, Cassidy and James formed an alliance.

As the cast members shared their stories, a boat arrived on campus. The three tribes had to choose one member for an adventure. They chose Karla for Coco, Gabler for Baka and Dwight for Vesi.

As they arrived on a separate island, they had to choose to either play safe or risk their vote for an advantage. While Karla opted for safety, Dwight and Gabler chose to risk it. Gabler won an advantage while Dwight lost his potential vote if his members went to the Tribal Council.

For the first immunity challenge on Survivor, the tribe members had to race through the obstacles and finish their respective table mazes to win immunity. Two immunity idols were up for grabs. Coco and Vesi won the challenge, while the Baka tribe had to go to the Tribal Council, from where one would be voted out.

At the Tribal Council, Morriah was voted 4-0 into eviction. She is the first contestant to be eliminated from Season 43 of Survivor.
