BBC One's Survivor has aired its most dramatic scenes yet after two contestants collapsed during an immunity challenge, forcing host Joel Dommett to call for medical help. The reality competition follow 18 brave contestants as they face physical and mental challenges whilst marooned in a tropical location, competing in two tribes and voting out players each week. In tonight's episode, contestants took on a brutal challenge, tasking nominated players with balancing bags of increasing weights across their shoulders.
The contestants who could stand the weights for the longest amount of time won immunity for their tribe. Thirty minutes in, disaster struck for contestant Jess, 38, who was forced to drop out of the challenge after beginning to struggle with the weight. "Jess, sorry I'm going to call it," Joel said.
"You're going to drop it, Jess, OK?" After dropping the weights to the ground 30 minutes into the task, Jess collapsed - with Joel calling for a medic. While Jess managed to limp away with the medics, 36-year-old Christopher began to wobble after holding the weights for over an hour. "I can't breathe, I can't breathe," he said, before dropping the weights and falling to the ground.
"Let's get the medic in," Joel called whilst running over to Christopher, who told the medics that he'd hurt his shoulder when taking off the bags. After Nathan and Doug were the only contestants left standing, the Caleton Tribe won the immunity idol, saving them from elimination for the week. With the La Nena Tribe vulnerable for eviction that week, it was 28-year-old Ren who was chosen by their teammates to leave the competition at the latest Tribal Council.
