Survivor 50 has claimed its latest victims.
During the March 25 episode of the historic season — in which 24 returning players battled for the title of Sole Survivor and the $1 million prize — two castaways were eliminated, not just one. When the cast members arrived at the immunity challenge, host Jeff Probst informed them that only one tribe out of three would be safe from a vote-off.
"That's it," season 45 winner Dee Valladares said in reply. "It's started."
So far, season 1's Jenna Lewis-Dougherty, season 49 winner Savannah Louie, season 46's Q Burdette and season 37's Mike White have been taken out. Meanwhile, season 48 winner Kyle Fraser was medevaced from the game after he ruptured his Achilles tendon during a challenge.
So, who was voted off during Survivor 50's double elimination episode? Here's everything to know about the returning players whose torches have been snuffed.

Angelina Keeley — who first appeared on season 37's David vs. Goliath alongside White and Christian Hubicki — was the obvious vote-off after White was taken out last week. She was just one of two players left out of the vote (alongside Ozzy Lusth), and wasn't closely aligned with any of the remaining Vatu members, which included Hubicki, Lusth, Emily Flippen and Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick. However, Lusth had a self-described "temper tantrum" after being blindsided, meaning that he could be on the chopping block — or Hubicki, whom Lusth perceived to be the ringleader of White's vote.
So, when Vatu lost the immunity challenge (again!), Lusth presented Hubicki with a choice: Give him his "Shot in the Dark," or lose trust entirely. Although Hubicki thought the move was "subservient" and called him a "polly prissy pants," he ultimately handed over his advantage to Lusth.
Together, all four members of the Vatu tribe came together to take out Keeley. However, Keeley had one more gift to bestow before she left — her jacket, calling back to her iconic season 37 moment in which she asked Natalie Cole for her outerwear after she'd voted her out. (Cole ignored her.)
"I think Christian might be out for some Goliath blood, so here I am," Keeley said in her final confessional. "Honestly, I loved the chance to play again and give the thing that I wanted the most, my jacket. And it is getting cold out here, so they're gonna need it."

Meanwhile, Cila had a far more uncertain decision on their hands, as they hadn't yet been to Tribal Council after the swap.
However, for the past few days, tensions between season 46's Charlie Davis and season 49's Rizo Velovic had been boiling. During a casual conversation, Davis learned that Velovic didn't vote for his "No. 1" ally, Sophi Balerdi, to win during his Final Tribal Council, instead selecting Louie (whom he was also working with). The move reminded Davis of his ally-turned-enemy, Maria Gonzalez, who didn't vote for the Harvard graduate to win during season 46 — costing him $1 million.
"I've not been able to stop thinking about that, because when I was in the Final 3, my best friend did not vote for me," he said in a confessional during the episode. "It's messing with my head, and I want him out of the game so I don't have to think about this at all."
Davis attempted to recruit his former Kalo members — Valladares, Kamilla Karthigesu and Jonathan Young — to go for Velovic. However, the "RizGod" launched his counteroffensive "Operation Bad Blood" — in honor of Davis' favorite artist, Taylor Swift — recruiting Valladares, Karthigesu and Survivor legend Cirie Fields to go after Davis instead.
Ultimately, Davis was taken out 4-3 — and Velovic voted him off in the most fitting way possible.
"Charlie, let me speak Taylor Swift to you," he said during his voting booth confessional. "This is no 'Love Story' between us. After tonight, there will be 'Bad Blood.' But when I take you out in RizGod style, I'mma get out of here in my 'Getaway Car.' Sayonara, adios."
After patting Velovic on the back and getting his torch snuffed by Probst, Davis reflected on his game.
"I can only imagine that I might have played a little too hard. Blindsiding — it's really fun to do it, it's not fun to be on the receiving end. I gotta sit with that now," he said in his final confessional before putting his head into his hands.
