Jeff talks about how nobody knew about the secret advantage and there was not a vote from her. I was taken by that to he didn't say anything but he knew.
On that note here is the article enjoy sorry no posts in a bit busy life but been watching the show every week and will try to get posting some more soon.
Have a great day everyone stay safe and be kind to one another :)

'Survivor': Jeff Probst addresses nobody noticing the missing vote

Each week, Jeff Probst will answer a few questions about the latest episode of Survivor: Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers.
ENTERTAINMENT
WEEKLY: We saw a big wrestling match under the tribe flag for an idol
that was not even there because Ryan had already gotten it. But what
would have happened there if two people grabbed it and wrestled over it?
We know that one person cannot take an idol that already belongs to
someone else, but what if two people are both grabbing it at the same
time and both claim ownership? How far would you let people go in terms
of trying to wrestle it away from each other?JEFF PROBST:
Fun question. The short answer is we always endeavor to let players
figure it out on their own. So if you’re in a wrestling match for an
idol, don’t let go! But interestingly, that is never a problem. There is
this strange integrity that is shared by all players when it comes to
the unspoken rules of Survivor. Everybody understands there is a format and a few very small rules that you don’t mess with.
A
somewhat similar situation is when one player finds the clue to an idol
and shares it with their alliance member and it’s the alliance member
who ends up finding the idol. There is no debate about who should get
it. You may be frustrated, but players don’t whine about that stuff. The
longer the show goes, the more admiration I have for those who play. It
takes a lot to deal with everything Survivor throws at you.
Interesting
twist here by making the reward feast winners eat one at a time, with
Joe picking the order. First off, if you were on that reward, would you
want to pick the order or not? And if someone picked you to go first or
second, how much would you eat?This
format is so damn good. You can’t say no to winning a reward, but
winning a reward always comes with complications or an invoice of some
kind. In this case, if I won and had to choose the order, I would go
last. I would trust that my amazing generosity would work out for me in
some way — if not with this actual reward then maybe down the line when I
needed a favor. But if I was chosen to eat first, I would eat more than
my fair share and then lie about it. This game is about seizing the
best opportunity of any situation. I can go light or dark. Angel or
devil. It’s a game.
Take
me through how you all workshopped this advantage idea of someone being
able to not cast a vote and save it for a future Tribal Council and why
you all decided to put it into play?We
did just what you suggest. We workshopped it. We talked through it as a
creative team, which means we role-play and try to find problems. We
did the math repeatedly to make sure this wouldn’t create a problem down
the line. We anticipated tie votes and how it might play out. We run
every scenario we can think of, and if we find a problem we can’t solve,
then the twist is out. We take no chances.
From
our standpoint, this was a fun one because it required the player to
“act” and do a fake out. Lauren played it beautifully. Talk about a
player who is surprising people. She is so savvy and now she has a
powerful advantage. This is maybe the best part of the job. A bunch of
us goofballs sit around in a room and come up with fun ideas to throw
into the middle of a great game. How did I end up here?
FOLLOW-UP
QUESTION: There were 11 players at Tribal Council but only 10 votes
read because Lauren played her advantage. Did nobody notice that a vote
was missing, or did some people ask about it but that got cut out in the
editing?Cut
out of editing? Are you nuts? We were HOPING someone would notice and
have it cause an issue back at camp. That was the risk Lauren was
taking. But as you’ll see next episode, barely a word was spoken. One
reason for this, and a reason we felt safe trying this, is that expert Survivor
fans know I don’t always read all the votes. I only read as many votes
as I need to until we know the verdict. So if you have eight votes and
one player gets five, then it doesn’t matter whom the other three are
for. It’s game over. That’s what makes this an advantage we can use
again. If you get lucky and play this advantage on a night when there
are extra votes…. nobody would ever know.
Okay, it’s time, sir. Hit us up with a tease for next week.I
don’t have a specific tease but holy smokes the game is on fire right
now. People are playing BIG and anytime you play big, you risk making a
mistake. I love big players because I still believe, despite what some
think, that in order to win you have to be willing to go for
it. Otherwise, you are simply living a lie in which you are actually
okay with “just making the jury.” I stand by this 100 percent. Go big or
just stay home. We have a lot of people who are playing big. Much more
story to come.
