Jeff Probst on Nicole’s Survivor 49 Exit: ‘It Was Clearly Personal’

No one ever dreams of being the first contestant voted off Survivor, making the circumstances surrounding the initial vote feel intensely personal—regardless of the strategic intricacies behind it.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Survivor host Jeff Probst expressed his belief that the ousting of Nicole Mazullo in the Survivor 49 premiere was indeed “clearly personal.”

“How can it not be personal?” he posed in the article published on September 25. “Even though it’s a game, you’re essentially telling someone, ‘Out of everyone here, you’re the first we’re choosing to eliminate.’” He underscored that regardless of the reasoning, it inevitably stings. “That’s why I have such admiration for those who step onto Survivor—it’s an incredibly vulnerable position.”

Nicole, 26, faced elimination after her Kele tribe lost all three contests during the premiere. It was evident before the tribal council that she was going to be a target, alongside her tribe member Annie Davis.

Sharing her perspective with Entertainment Weekly, Nicole acknowledged the vote’s personal nature. “I believe my vote-out was primarily influenced by one individual who simply didn’t like me,” she stated. “That single vote had significant sway. It really came down to him.”

“I’m referring to Jake [Latimer],” she clarified. “From the get-go, I sensed a disliking from Jake, and he saw me as an easy mark to eliminate.”

Nicole attempted to cultivate a rapport with Jake at camp, but their personalities simply clashed. “Survivor mirrors real life,” she noted, adding, “Some folks just don’t click. I can appreciate the unpredictability and nature of these dynamics.”

When Probst, 63, announced the votes and confirmed Nicole’s departure, she opted for silence—no farewell hugs or dramatic goodbyes with her tribe. “I wasn’t going to turn around and embrace him,” she remarked about Jake, 36. “After the way they just voted me out, I figured hugs were off the table.”

Probst observed that Nicole exhibited minimal emotion during her last moments on the show. “When I read her name a third time, her head dropped, and she seemed to know it was the end,” he recounted. “That was the last I saw of her eyes; she remained downcast the whole time.”

Make sure to catch Survivor every Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
