This past Wednesday, on the fourth episode of Survivor 48, Thomas Krottinger was voted out after a tribe swap and an Immunity Idolplay ruined his opportunity to stay in the game. Despite going home early, Krottinger quickly became one of the most entertaining players this season, with his comedic personality and lack of hesitation to think about backstabbing his peers if necessary, being qualities that fans fell in love with. Similarly to Kevin Leung and Justin Pioppi, who were voted out during the first three episodes, Krottinger began to feel like a main character on Survivor 48, and his elimination left the audience questioning if he had the potential to be an all-star contestant in the “New Era.”In addition, Krottinger went home with a Steal-a-Vote in his pocket, left a strong alliance behind him, and proved to be an early threat by not being afraid to choose a villainous path in the game. However, if it wasn’t for the amount of advantages in the competition just nine days in, Krottinger might still have a chance to win the million-dollar prize.
