Survivor Game Changers episode 6 featured one of the most shocking boots in the show’s history, leaving former players reacting to the player voted out

If you’re looking to avoid SPOILERS, this is not the place for you. Beyond this, there will be SPOILERS abound forSurvivor Game Changersepisode 6. You’ve been warned.

The twists keep coming relentlessly inSurvivor Game Changersand episode 6 was no different. “Vote Early, Vote Often” started off with a twist as Jeff Probst told the 15 remaining players to drop their buffs. When Debbie Wanner was left without a buff, she was then sent to Exile Island—which even that had a twist within a twist as she actually spent a day on a yacht talking with John Cochran.

Needless to say, it was a wild ride. But even with all of that going down, it couldn’t have compared to Tribal Council and the boot fromSurvivor Game Changersepisode 6.

After 94 days of playing the game without ever being voted out, with two wins under her belt and having had only one vote cast against her, Sandra Diaz-Twine was voted out. She was always the easy target after the second swap of the season, but there was a glimmer of hope when Tai Trang again couldn’t keep his mouth shut. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

It almost goes without saying that this was no normal vote. After 94 days without having being voted out, Sandra Diaz-Twine’s torch being snuffed by Jeff Probst was a historic moment. And formerSurvivorplayers were well aware of that. They all (or mostly) showed their respect for a legend leaving the game without winning for the first time:

SANDRA DIAZ TWINE! Always and forever a Legend!@SandraDTwine👑

— Teresa Cooper/T-Bird (@tbirdcooper)April 6, 2017

every tribal council you survived this season was itself another victory, IMO, so you're like a 6-time winner

— John Cochran (@JohnMCochran)April 6, 2017

Noooo@SandraDTwine! Say it ain't so. Valiant effort at tribal. Even Jeff didn't want to snuff your torch. 😭😭😭

Is it weird that I got very emotional when@SandraDTwinegot her torch snuffed? 🔥🌴#SurvivorGameChangers#AllTheFeels

Of course, there’s always one in every group. And most of the time, the one in that group is a lot like Russell Hantz. Never forgetting theirHeroes vs. Villainsrivalry, Hantz was pleased with the boot:

Hahahahaha!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

— Russell Hantz (@russellhantz)April 6, 2017

Sandra finally was playing the game &that's what happens when she does!Sandra you need to go back to "as long as it's not me" works better.

— Russell Hantz (@russellhantz)April 6, 2017

Regardless of what Russell has to say, however, this is one of the most shocking boots in history. Yes, Sandra was going to be a target as a two-time winner. However, that this is her third time playing and we’ve never seen her torch in front of Probst is remarkable.

We too tip our cap to Sandra Diaz-Twine as she wholly deserves the adulation she received from former players. It’s hard to winSurvivoronce, but she managed it twice. For good measure, she then went down throwing haymakers inSurvivor Game Changers. That’s the mark of greatness in this game if I’ve ever seen it.
