Juror Removal/International

Introduced in the United States in , the Juror Removal has appeared in a number of international franchises, including and .
==Overview==
The juror removal twist is a power given to one player to remove from the jury someone that they believe would not vote for them at the Final Tribal Council.
==History==
===Australia===
The juror removal power made its international debut at the final four of . The Asatoa tribe competed in a Reward Challenge for the power to remove one of the first eight jury members. Jericho Malabonga won the challenge and elected to remove Tessa O'Halloran, believing that she was a guaranteed vote for Peter Conte. Jericho then made it to Final Tribal Council with Tara Pitt and won in a 6-3 jury vote.
The twist made a second appearance in , once again at the final four. The Fa'amolemole showed up for a Reward Challenge and were informed that they would be competing for an Extra Vote. Matt Sharp won the challenge, but host Jonathan LaPaglia informed the tribe that the extra vote would come into play as part of a Juror Removal vote. Jonathan also announced that the game would end with a Final Three, surprising the castaways. At camp, George Mladenov and Liz Parnov desperately campaigned to Matt to vote Simon Mee out, but Matt was resolute in voting against Shonee Bowtell, whom he believed was a guaranteed vote for either George or Liz. With Matt wielding the Extra Vote and Gerry Geltch siding with Matt, George realized the futility of trying to save Shonee, and the three men cast four votes against Shonee, with Liz being the sole vote against Simon. Thus, Shonee was removed from the jury. Despite losing her biggest cheerleader, Liz ultimately won the title of Sole Survivor against Gerry and Matt in a unanimous 7-0-0 vote.
===South Africa===
In , the winner of the Final Immunity Challenge also received the power to remove one of the jury members at the final three Tribal Council. Jeanne Michel won the challenge and first voted out Annalize Sainsbury, making her the final member of the jury. Thereafter, Jeanne cast the vote to remove Werner Joubert, fearing that he might still be sore about her turning on him at the final four. This decision proved costly as the jury condemned Jeanne's failure to own her game, and she lost the season to Tom Swartz in a 6-1 vote.
In , the winner of the final four Immunity Challenge also received a reward where they would get the chance to share breakfast with a juror of their choice. Chappies Chapman won the challenge and enjoyed a conversation with Anesu Mbizvo, who informed him about the dynamics over at Ponderosa. After their breakfast, Chappies read a note informing him that he would vote out one member of the jury. At Tribal Council, host Nico Panagio instructed Chappies to cast two votes in the urn: one each for the castaway and juror he wanted to vote out. After tallying the votes, Nico revealed that Chappies had voted out Wardah Hartley, with whom he had long shared a fraught relationship. Tyson Zulu was then voted out that night. With Chappies being voted out by Nicole Wilmans at the final three, the effect of Wardah's removal was left unclear.
==Trivia==
* is the only season where the winner of the Juror Removal advantage did not also make it to Final Tribal Council.
