Michael burns his hands and leaves; tribes will merge with equal numbers.
The dramatic accident that has been the source of speculation for days wasn’t a person falling off a horse nor getting thrashed by a crocodile. Rather, Michael fell into the fire after passing out, badly burning his hands and part of his face. He was airlifted out of the Outback and left the game; there was no immunity challenge and the tribes will merge with five players each.
+ also: Mike says Survivor changed his life.
+ and: Mike didn’t even tell his wife about the burns.
