To be clear, the players all knew it was a non-binding theoretical vote. Still, the video appeared to show that players took the vote seriously.

Based onEntertainment Weekly'stheoretical vote,Survivor 49'sRizo "RizGod" Velovic would have been eliminated before the game if the vote were binding. While Velovic got the most votes, other players weren't far behind him. Kyle Fraser, Dee Valladares, and Benjamin "Coach" Wade all received only one less vote than Velovic.
