Who got voted off on Survivor 45 tonight?

Nicholas "Sifu" Alsup
Despite being a martial arts master, Sifu struggled to find his balance in the game. His chaotic approach to the island caused him to become an early target on Reba, and he nearly was voted out premerge. That unfortunately left him on the outs of his former tribe members, even at the merge. Surrounded by three Belo players in his mini-tribe, Sifu had a bad feeling about his state in the game. And, though the former blues did briefly contemplate drawing blood and booting Bruce, his hunch was correct, and he was voted out unanimously.

Kaleb Gebrewold
As Dee told us tonight, Kaleb truly has been the cat with nine lives on Survivor. He was one of only two players to make the merge as part of the doomed Lulu tribe, and nearly got taken out by his closest ally. But once he became vulnerable again, he was back in the same spot, with everyone turned against him. And so Kaleb made the biggest Survivor hail mary in the show's history, successfully playing his Shot in the Dark and nullifying eleven votes against him. Even when he was left on a new group of six, Kaleb thought there was a light forward, joining up with the former Belos. But it was Katurah who proved to snuff out that light, not wanting to force the tie and ending Kaleb's ninth life (but begin his tenth on the jury).
Were any advantages found or played on Survivor 45 tonight?
No! Though Bruce definitely toyed with playing his idol if he sensed something was up, he chose to keep it in his pocket.
