Many Survivor fans were frustrated by what they saw during a new episode.

In the eyes of those Survivor fans, the production team favored Eva Erickson.

Midway through the episode, Eva won the Individual Immunity Challenge.

Winning the Immunity Necklace guaranteed Eva’s safety for the day.

Eva’s safety also removed her as a possible target at Tribal Council.

In the end, the argument became about sending home either Chrissy Sarnowsky or Kamilla Karthigesu.

Chrissy became the second member of the Survivor 48 jury.

Eva Erickson gets a Secret Advantage from production

Eva, Joe Hunter, David Kinne, and Mary Zheng enjoyed a taco feast. The quartet had been the final four players in the Immunity Challenge.

Upon arriving for tacos, the players found the feast set with placards for where each person would sit.

Eva found a scroll behind her placard (in a chip bowl), providing her a chance at gaining a Secret Advantage in the game.

Later, when she opened the clue, it read that Eva earned it due to her “effort in today’s challenge.” However, the existence of a new Advantage and how Eva received it angered many Survivor fans.

Many Survivor fans are upset about Eva’s Survivor Advantage

Below are notes that Survivor fans posted to social media during and after the April 17 episode.

“How interesting – Eva found a secret advantage where her name is! Production ain’t slick! I hate it here! Such BS! #Survivor #Survivor48 @survivorcbs,” wrote an aggravated fan.

“Now hold on- They straight up put an advantage JUST in Eva’s bowl??? #Survivor #Survivor48,” questioned another Survivor fan.

“Eva finding the advantage at her ASSIGNED SEAT hahahaha it’s not even about luck at this point #survivor #survivor48,” wrote another fan upset at the new Survivor Advantage.

Other fans took things even further, claiming the show is “rigged” for Eva to win the $1 million prize.

“It looks like this season has been rigged for Eva to win. Why did she need an advantage on top of immunity? #Survivor48 #Survivor,” someone wrote.

So what do you think? Did Eva get an unfair Survivor Advantage? Weigh in with a comment below!

Why do u think she got a advantage prove it. Also did they glue her to the pole so u wouldn’t fall. Just jealous people trying to pick on a girl with a handicap. Let’s see u that think she’s cheating go there and do what she’s doing. Shame on all of u. If that was ur daughter and u heard these rumors how would u feel.
