These castaways lost their flame. It's Season 42 of 'Survivor' and we have 18 new contestants. Here's who went home in the newest episode.

Here’s everyone who got voted out of Survivor Season 42. Season 41 was the first to shorten the days castaways spent on the island, and Season 42 will be no different. 18 new castaways are set to take on the challenge of outwitting, outplaying, and outlasting each other in an epic physical and social competition for 26 days.

'Survivor' Season 42: Jackson Fox Gives Timeline on Lithium ... (Showbiz Cheat Sheet)

'Survivor' Season 42 contestant Jackson Fox left the game due to his lithium medication. Here's the timeline he gave regarding what occurred.

Will he return to the cast for Survivor Season 43? He failed to disclose that he was on the medication to production beforehand because he knew he’d be completely off of it shortly into the game. “I didn’t realize I was getting off of it as fast as I thought it was. And we finally got to meet the Survivor Season 42 cast. Unfortunately, going off of lithium while also dealing with the potential for dehydration and less food came with significant risks. The Survivor Season 42 premiere was full of twists and turns viewers didn’t expect.

'Survivor' Season 42 Premiere Recap: Fake Blood, Lies and Rhino ... (CNET)

Tori is a therapist, but she told her Ika tribe-mates she's a caregiver. CBS. The first episode of Survivor season 42 kicked a new season of competition off ...

Jenny from Vati plays it safe, but Maryanne from Taku and Drea from Ika risk it and earn the extra vote. In the end, it was Zach who had his flame extinguished by Jeff. Tribal was made more interesting by Zach's choice to take a "shot in the dark" for a one in six chance of being safe. Depending on how many advantage-holders are left in the game, the power gets better (if two are left, they can steal a vote; if three are left, it becomes an idol). The three tribes, Vati (green buffs), Taku (orange) and Ika (blue), race to claim paddles, head out on the water, grab bamboo sticks and construct a pole they can use to hook a ring with flint on it. Everyone else had to work for it (they were given the puzzle or physical labor choice we saw last season, and both crushed a triangle-themed puzzle). We meet some more fun personalities: Romeo, a pageant coach on the Ika tribe, jokes that while his dream of winning Ms. Universe couldn't happen, he could at least win Survivor. We learn that the advantage from the reward challenge only works if it's played by multiple players in tandem. The first episode of Survivor season 42 kicked a new season of competition off in spectacular fashion.

This is now a Maryanne stan account (unknown)

Survivor is back with its 42nd season. In the premiere, two players leave the game while another leaves her mark in the most delightful way.

I personally would never play because I am not insane, but if you are a fan who really does want to play, then yes, by all means go and play and who gives a crap if you get voted out first. And we'll get to the contents of said advantage in a bit, but can we pause to go back and focus on this line from the instructions for a second: "To cover your lie, spread mud and fake blood over your body to prove how hard you worked to get your paddles." Yet now you have incentivized each of them to turn on each other and try to get the other two out of the game.

Surprise Elimination Brings Dramatic Twists (RECAP) (unknown)

Eighteen players arrived to Fiji thinking they knew the game, and then Jeff Probst flipped their perceptions upside-down.

After extreme physical demands and a tight race to finish the puzzle between Taku and Vati, Taku won the first immunity challenge. Lydia and Romeo from Vati and Ika sit the challenge out to even out the team numbers. Once on shore, they drag the chests and boat across a track and under a net to the finish, where two players solve a massive dragon puzzle with the contents of the chests. Having performed poorly in the puzzle portion of the immunity challenge and realizing he was in danger, Zach stirred up some commotion with Tori, saying she’s untrustworthy. The morning of Day Three, Jeff arrived at Taku for one-on-one with Jackson, saying he and the producers are concerned about a medical reveal Jackson made at the last minute. A boat then arrives at Taku, Ika, and Vati. One person must get on the boat and will return to camp that afternoon. Two amulets have the power of a Steal-A-Vote. One amulet has the full power of an idol. Drea, Hai, and Lindsay took private moments to learn what they earned in the first challenge with their advantage amulets. Savvy was a visual riddle requiring them to guess the number of triangles in one big triangle. They covered themselves in mud and fake blood, as instructed, to make it look like they did a grueling task, and then ran back to their teams for the last leg of the race. They popped it back in right on the beach in front of the other players. At the winning camp, alliances start to form between the three youngest and three oldest members.

Season 42 Episode 1 Review (unknown)

The first episode of the new season introduced a fun cast of characters, twists both new and old, and even a couple of medical situations.

Overall, it was a strong start to the new season, and the cast promises to be entertaining to watch as the show goes on. This twist is actually interesting and one of the better ones in recent memory, because it involves a complex level of strategy. If only two players are left because one of them got voted out, playing the amulet would give them a steal-a-vote, and if only one of those players is left, it becomes a full-on immunity idol. There are, however, a lot of players that provide great color commentary and bring a lot of joy to the game, like Lydia and Maryanne. Lydia's sense of humor and approach to the game is very relatable for the Gen Z portion of the audience, and Maryanne brings such a sense of joy and life to this game that can often get so entrenched in the drama. The notable stories from this episode included Jackson, who opened up about being transgender and being estranged from his family because of it, only to reconnect with them years later over his mother's health crisis, and Daniel, who explained that he battled leukemia as a teenager (and who had to deal with a dislocated shoulder almost immediately in this episode). There's no clear villain (though those archetypes don't usually fully develop until later on in the show), and so far it seems like this cast is just an interesting group of people all with their own story to share.
