Survivor fans were shocked to learn that Brady Booker went home instead of becoming a jury member.
The moment happened during the November 11 episode, where Jeff Probst revealed it to the other castaways.
“First, a little business,” Probst told the players during Survivor 51, Episode 8. “Last night, immediately following Tribal Council, Brady asked to go home to tend to his injured thumb. So, Brady is out of the game. He’s gone. And will not be a member of the jury.”
The other players were floored, but the viewers at home couldn’t believe what they had just heard. The guy who said he would play through any injury had decided to leave Fiji?
For some context, Brady accidentally cut off part of his thumb on Day 4. After being examined, he was allowed to stay in the game, with his hand bandaged. Later, Brady was voted out on Day 14.
Fans shade Brady after he leaves Survivor 51
Many Survivor fans have commented on Brady’s exit.
“Willing to push-ups in the dirt before the thumb was even covered but quits the jury 11 days later to ‘tend to his thumb’
I’m calling b*******. You’re a sore loser brody,” one fan wrote.
“he’s such a sore loser. we all know why he actually didn’t join the jury,” someone else wrote.
“Bitter as f*** like his bro Jonathan. If he stayed on that island with half the thumb, why complain while being on a resort?? Sore loseeeeeeer #Survivor #Survivor51,” noted another fan.
Earlier in the season, Rob Antonson also quit Survivor 51, but argued it was because of an injury.
Many fans are now comparing Brady’s exit to Rob’s.
“tbh i see no difference in rob and brady quitting. both left when they didn’t get their way and blamed it on an injury. let’s talk about it #survivor51,” wrote a fan.
What happened to Brady’s thumb after Survivor 51?
“It was sitting in a cooler,” Brady told Parade about his thumb. “And then when time arose, when people started asking questions about it, they asked me what I wanted to do with it.”
“They ended up putting it in some resin, putting it in a necklace,” Booker revealed. “When I got back, we put a clasp on it.”
