JEFF PROBST:It started very early with Bret calling attention that Hannah was having some trouble.
So we moved her to the shade but kept an eye on her throughout the challenge.
It seemed in many ways to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

And watching it unfold, I was struck by how real the panic was.
Her body was clenched and Dr. Joe explained that this was simply her body reacting to the panic.
We all have our peculiarities, and she is so open with hers.
Once again, I have to applaud our medical team.
Dr. Joe is really an incredibly calming presence.
He and his team have so much responsibility.
I cant feel what they are feeling, and I have been there every single day ofSurvivor.
you could see the stress manifesting in slumped bodies, lines in the face, bags under the eyes.
The never-ending question that is pounding inside the brain of every player… Am I being lied to?
Imagine spending just one day where you second-guessed every single thing said to you.
Just one day where you never trusted anybody and were always looking over your shoulder.
Id be a mental case by lunch.
These guys do this 24 hours a day.
And this is one of the biggest reasons why so many want to play.
They want that test.
They want to be pushed.
Im not sure weve seen someone as unfiltered in this way as Michaela.
As viewers, we love it!
But does this make her too naive in terms of the social elements of the game?
Jeremy did it recently, and a few others have done it, but its extremely tough to do.
I really dont have a great answer, so let me shift the question a bit.
I loved her the minute I met her.
But what do you make of Figgys obliviousness to why being in a couple made her such a target.
Was that her ultimate undoing in the game?
Its such a fun question to ponder, because it really is a head-scratcher for most fans.
- Pure hubris.
She felt she had the game in her palm.
Im guessing its a big life lesson for Figgy, because shes a really bright, observant young woman.
She just had a blind spot.
And of course I think being a millennial has something to do with it.
When youre young, youre supposed to believe anything is possible.
You arent worried about tomorrow, because youre still living today.
But, in this case, a bit of Gen X wisdom might have helped.
Tease us up for next week and tease us up good!
Well the big story is about revenge.
Taylor is pissed, and Adam is his target.
Next week kicks the season into another gear.
