Survivor 24, one world Matt Quinlan eliminated in episode 3. The men decided to give Matt the boot out of his tribe at the season’s third Tribal Council, the first elimination session for the men.

After spending a night in the freezing cold, the women finally caved and asked Troyzan if they could warm up quickly by standing next to their fire. The men agreed, but Matt, however, wasn’t too happy because there wasn’t enough room for the men in their shelter alone and the women were soaking wet sitting on their beds. Think that attitude had anything to do with his elimination?


“Going out on the eighth day is an incredible disappointment. I came out here with big expectations and a plan to do it, and it didn’t work out for me. But I thought in the last couple days I had re-worked something with [Troy “Troyzan” Robertson] to get the numbers back in my favor, and clearly, I was wrong. I was probably enemy number one — the biggest threat they had and that spelled my disaster,” Matt said following his elimination.
