The latest episode of Survivor season 48 premiered on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, bringing with it fresh drama and competition among the remaining castaways. After returning from a tense tribal council, tensions escalated as Mitch expressed his frustration over Charity’s surprising elimination, which caught him off guard.
As the castaways moved forward, they engaged in another immunity challenge the following day. This time, participants were required to hold a weight equivalent to 25% of their pregame body weight, divided into two competitive groups. Joe emerged victorious, while Cedrek, unfortunately, struggled and dropped his bucket moments after the challenge commenced.
The audience had a lot to say about Cedrek’s performance on social media, with many fans expressing their disappointment. One user on X (formerly Twitter) articulated the sentiment:
“Cedrek flopping in the challenge again to no one’s surprise.”
“Cedrek has to be the least athletic person ever on #Survivor, right? Dude … 20 seconds? Every week he shows how physically inept he is at challenges,”a fan commented.
“Cedrek somehow has zero upper body strength. It’s kinda f*cking wild,”another tweet noted.
Survivor enthusiasts labeled Cedrek’s performance as “crazy,”with reactions reflecting disbelief:
“It’s crazy because he doesn’t look like he’d flop out on the challenges but that’s all he’s done,”one viewer mentioned.
“I’m crying bc Cedrek was gonna be my honorary mention but he dropped out of the challenge before I could even finish the tweet! I need the rest of my faves to eat!”a fan lamented.
“Cedrek is terrrrrrrriiibbblllleeee at challenges. Omg,”another tweet expressed.
Further commentary from viewers pointed out Cedrek’s apparent lack of physical capability:
“Update: Cedrek has negative strength in general. he has no muscle mass. he is only bones,”a user quipped.
“CEDREK BEING OUT AFTER 20 SECONDS??? LMFAOOOO,”another commented.
Summary of the Immunity Challenge in Episode 7
In episode 7, the immunity challenge was centered around endurance and required contestants to maintain a grip of 25% of their weight. Contestants were split into two groups, with the reward for the challenge being immunity from elimination and a feast of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
As the challenge got underway, Cedrek let go of his bucket almost immediately, losing the challenge as host Jeff Probst pointed out the stakes involved.
“You’re gonna have to dig into what is left of your reserve,”Jeff remarked just before Cedrek’s early exit from the challenge.
Cedrek’s tenure in the challenge lasted only about 20 seconds. Ultimately, Eva and Joe made it to the final round for the orange team, while Kyle and David represented the purple team. When Eva fell short, Joe claimed immunity while David went on to win the challenge for his team, securing the coveted sandwiches for his group, which included Cedrek as well.
As the surviving members celebrated their victory with the food reward, David expressed his intention to eliminate Cedrek in the upcoming tribal council session, sparking concern from Cedrek himself about his future in the game.
