During the episode, host Jeff Probst pulled aside player Jackson Fox, a healthcare worker from Pasadena, Texas, in a rare beachside visit. Probst said Fox failed to adequately disclose part of his medical history until the day before filming, which led to concerns from showrunners. Following their discussion, Fox announced his departure to his tribe and was removed from the show. According to Probst, Fox didn't disclose a medication he was taking until the day before filming Probst said that Fox didn't disclose that he was taking lithium, a medication used to treat depression and anxiety, until the day before filming. Probst said the showrunners decided to let Fox participate in the show at first "because nothing is going to happen in 24, 48 hours" — but they eventually grew too concerned for Fox's safety. Lithium can have serious side effects, especially when there are other external stressors like dehydration, lack of food, and physical exertion, which are all staples of the "Survivor" experience. "That's where our concern came. The cumulative effect of the show would have a potentially very bad impact on you, and we don't want that," Probst said. "Your safety is paramount. We can't do it. We can't." Fox said he waited to disclose that he was taking medication because he was "trying to quit it completely" and "didn't need it anymore." Still, he told his tribe about his departure and said he was "not ashamed" to admit he needs "help with certain things." He added, "I appreciate it. It was the best 48 hours I've had ever." Fox still made history as the first openly transgender contestant on the show Although he was only on the show briefly, Fox made history as the first openly transgender "Survivor" contestant. During his time on the series, he shared the story of his transition, as well as the effect it had on his family. Fox said that he began caring for his terminally ill mother in 2016, which is also when he began taking lithium. This event ended up allowing Fox to reconnect with his father, who he'd become distant from since Jackson's transition. Prior to the premiere, Fox also posted about his experience in an Instagram post, writing, "To say this was a once in a lifetime experience is an understatement..absolutely changed my life and met some amazing people that I now consider extended family. This smile is as genuine as they come."

SALT LAKE CITY — BYU student Sami Layadi is the youngest-ever contestant on the popular reality TV series “Survivor.” He says he’s confident he will be the youngest person ever to win the series. Layadi is just 19 years old, one year younger than the TV series itself. “Some would say I’m not ready for this experience, the game is older than I am,” He says on the show. “To those people, I say watch me work.”

Layadi says he runs off pure adrenaline all the time.

“With ‘Survivor’, I am gonna go out and I’m gonna put on the best show that I possibly can,” Layadi says. His job as a pet cremator, he says, has let him interact with a lot of different people in high-pressure situations. He thinks his job has uniquely prepared him to take home the win. “People are at their lowest of lows when they lose a pet,” Layadi says. “You’ve got to be able to read the room [and] go in there and get the job done.”

You can catch the latest episodes of Survivor Wednesday evenings on CBS.
