'Survivor: Cambodia' News: Kelley Wentworth Makes History With Epic Idol Play [VIDEO]
Kelley Wentworth made Survivor history during last night's episode of Survivor: Cambodia - Second Chance.
What Does 'Survivor' Host Jeff Probst Think Of Kelly Wiglesworth & Kimmi Kappenberg?
Wentworth whipped out her Hidden Immunity Idol before the vote at Tribal Council, negating the flurry of votes that would come her way. She received a total of nine votes against her, none of which counted. This is a new Survivor record for most votes negated at a Tribal Council by one Hidden Immunity Idol.
The crazy Tribal Council ended with Andrew Savage being blindsided, receiving votes from just Wentworth, Abi-Maria Gomes and Ciera Eastin, which were enough to send him to Ponderosa. Survivor host Jeff Probst spoke about this blindside in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, highlighting Savage's disappointment in leaving the game.

"This game is being played at a high level and unlike say, a football game, the animosity in Survivor can be very personal," Probst explained. "So when you are blindsided, which is the case in most Tribals, it stings. Sometimes it stings a lot. This one probably left a mark on Savage. Savage came in with a very clear agenda - rewrite history. The first time he played, he was truly caught off guard with a twist that nobody would have predicted. This time he just got caught in great game play. "
Heading into next week, the target on Wentworth, Ciera and Abi-Maria will probably get even larger, though voting out a big player like Savage may just unravel that huge alliance of eight, providing for an exciting rest of the season.
Survivor: Cambodia - Second Chance airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
