Fans of Survivor waved goodbye to castaway Drea Wheeler this week after an impressive season 42 run, and she is opening up about which remaining castaways are playing a strategic game. Drea entered the game as the cool and collected castaway with one goal: leverage anything she could to make it to the end and claim the million-dollar prize. Whether that was with social bonds with virtually all of her fellow castaways or searching carefully for hidden immunity idols, Drea constantly kept busy during her journey to the final seven. Unfortunately for her, castaways quickly caught on to her gameplay, resulting in Drea getting voted off to prevent her from potentially winning. Jeff Probst and Survivor producers have hailed seasons 41 and 42 as the new era of Survivor, with the addition of numerous new twists and turns that have castaways reeling.
Since travel delays caused seasons 41 and 42 to be filmed back to back, the latest set of castaways had no clue of some of the changes. The Beware Advantages, Shot in the Dark, and a new opportunity to risk or gain a vote during a summit had season 41 weighing their options at every turn, and 42 is no different. Winning Survivor is about making the most out of the current situation, and Drea immediately embraced the new format. Earning an extra vote, finding a Beware Advantage that turned into an idol, stumbling upon an advantage amulet and locating the Knowledge is Power advantage led to Drea becoming one of the most decorated castaways in Survivor history. But her time on the island was cut short due to a shocking betrayal from her closest ally.
