A Survivor alum has answered a question that many fans have asked – and one that many fans may not want to know the answer to.
Sophi Balerdi from the Survivor 49 cast shared a video explaining how castaways use the bathroom. It was an informative social media post that revealed a lot.
Sophi also recently revealed why she accepted being called “Soph” on the show. This seems like a good reason for the producers to ensure unique names for all the players in a given season.
A Survivor secret: How do castaways go to the bathroom?
“Where do you take a dump?” a Survivor fan asked in a cringy manner. But it served as the perfect way to get Sophi to explain everything. And boy does she go into detail.
Of course, it’s a question that many folks have had before. And it’s something that is shielded from the television viewing audience. Nobody wants to see it happen, but we all know it still does.
“So, as someone who has now played Survivor, this is the bathroom situation,” Sophi begins a video answering the fan question.
“So, I don’t know if people know this about Survivor, but we do not get a bathroom. There’s no porta-potty; there’s no toilet paper,” Sophi elaborates. “You have two decisions you can make. You can run along to the ocean and take what we call an ‘aqua dump,’ which is the most sanitary way because the water will do the cleaning if you catch what I’m saying.”
“And there’s another way, which we call ‘going to Coconut Grove.’ And Coconut Grove is a designated place that us as a tribe decide where we will go to go to the bathroom if we don’t go in the ocean.”
Sophi goes on to explain that they mostly avoided the ocean at night, and she further explains what happens at Coconut Grove. Her full video explanation is shared below.
