Cirie Fields became the first player in Survivor history to be "voted out" despite not receiving a vote at the Final Six. Every other player was immune because three players used their Hidden Immunity Idols, one player had the Immunity necklace, and one played the 'Legacy Advantage' which was the same as playing an Immunity Idol. Since Cirie did not have any Immunity assets, she was forced to leave. Jeff Probst told a tearful Cirie that she had not received any votes, and would under normal circumstances made it to the Final Five.
