Hannah Rose
Hannah Rose, a 33-year-old therapist from Maryland, became the first contestant eliminated from Survivor 45. Interestingly, she did not get voted out; instead, she chose to quit the game. After struggling during the initial days and her tribe losing their first immunity challenge, Hannah decided it was best for her to leave. Her torch was snuffed by host Jeff Probst on day 3.
Brandon Donlon
Brandon Donlon, a 26-year-old content producer from New Jersey, followed Hannah as the second person eliminated from the game. His struggles in challenges led to his downfall, and after losing his vote during a journey challenge, the decision was made at the tribe's second council. The tribe opted to send Brandon home on day 5.
Sabiyah Broderick
Sabiyah Broderick, a 28-year-old truck driver from North Carolina, was the third contestant to leave Survivor 45. Attempting to flip the votes against her ally, Kaleb Gebrewold, her plans were thwarted when Emily Flippen united with Kaleb to vote her out. Sabiyah's strategy ultimately backfired, and she couldn't even cast a vote during her elimination as she had sacrificed her vote for a Hidden Immunity Idol.
Sean Edwards
Sean Edwards, a 35-year-old school principal from Utah, became the fourth person eliminated. After a tribe swap, Sean found himself isolated within the new Reba tribe. In a surprising turn of events, he requested his tribemates to vote him out, expressing a desire to return home to his husband, leading to his elimination.
