Understanding the stereotypes Black women can be edited into, Drea responded to Jonathan with, "Don't make it seem like I'm being aggressive." Jonathan responded, "You ARE being aggressive.

Drea was not being accusatory, nor was she blaming Jonathan for acting a certain way towards her. Jonathan grew defensive, insisting that he and his white tribemates are not racist. When Drea said why it was important to play her immunity idol to prevent a third Black person from sitting on the jury, she became emotional. We saw this play out during a Tribal Council at the final 7 on season 41, when Liana Wallace, Deshawn Radden and Danny McCray spoke about the challenges of voting in self-interest versus keeping their four-person Black alliance intact.

With that foreknowledge comes a responsibility that can sometimes feel like a burden. Like Maryanne, Drea has watched the show prior and is aware of the effort of Black Survivor alums to demand increased representation on future seasons. 'Don’t make it seem like I’m being aggressive'ĭrea became emotional as she realized in real time that bringing up race would inevitably subject her to online abuse when the episode aired. Maryanne said, "My biggest fear was that I would see some sort of injustice and I would sit down and do nothing." Jeff Probst decided a vote was unnecessary and, after playing her Shot in the Dark, unanimous choice Tori was sent packing.

I’m not going to let that happen to me." Maryanne Oketch, the only other non-white player in the group of five, came to the same conclusion. She said, "I’m playing my idol tonight so I can stay in this game.

Drea likely sniffed out the plan before Tribal Council, saying, "I knew it was coming for me, so f**k that. Now Drea, who'd been aligned with Rocksroy since Day 1 on Ika, was forced to confront an unfortunate reality.Įarlier in the episode, Jonathan Young launched a half-baked scheme to blindside Drea before she had a chance to play her menu of advantages. Sensing another opportunity to shake things up, Omar wrangled Romeo, Hai Giang and fiercely loyal Mike Turner to rock Rocksroy's world without him knowing. Omar Zaheer, ever sympathetic to the stragglers, had other plans. Rocksroy was a supposedly solid piece of a four-person majority expected to eliminate outsider Romeo Escobar in the previous Tribal Council. Every member of that Tribal Council was shocked as Rocksroy Bailey sat next to Chanelle Howell on the jury. Drea Wheeler led her group of five into Tribal Council, and instantly upon seeing the first of two contestants voted out on the ninth episode of Survivor 42, her jaw dropped to the floor.
