Survivor featured Hannah Rose giving her "Lulu" tribemates no choice but to vote her out at the first Tribal Council during the show's Season 45 premiere Wednesday night on CBS.

Hannah Rose, a 33-year-old therapist from Woodbridge, CT, who currently resides in Baltimore City, MD, warned her "Lulu" tribe that she wanted to quit, and so she essentially forced her tribemates to vote her out at Tribal Council on Night 3 of the game.

"I feel fear and anticipation that the world is going to hate me," Hannah said in her final words.

"Here I am in front of millions of people being like, 'I have to bow out.' I've read so many articles and books, and I've researched this -- and nothing can prepare you for what it's like to be completely at zero."

"I have nothing in the tank," she added. "I have so much more respect for every single Survivor player that has ever played."

Survivor's Season 45 premiere broadcast began with several of the 18 castaways introducing themselves to viewers.

Drew Basile, a 23-year-old graduate student from Birmingham, MI, who currently resides in Philadelphia, PA, believed he was the smartest person to ever play Survivor.

And Katurah Topps, a 35-year-old civil rights attorney from St. Louis, MO, who currently resides in Brooklyn, NY, didn't plan on telling anyone she's a lawyer so that her opponents wouldn't consider her savvy and strategic.

Emily Flippen, a 28-year-old investment analyst from McKinney, TX, who currently resides in Laurel, MD, admitted if she can't win the game, she'd rather be the first person voted out. She said it's a waste of time if you're not the "Sole Survivor," and Jake hoped to win $1 million so he can move out of his grandmother's home.

And Nicholas "Sifu" Alsup, a 30-year-old gym owner from O'Fallon, IL, shared how he's a master instructor of Thai chi as well as a traveling musician.

The castaways hopped onto a big barge, where Survivor host Jeff Probst was waiting for them.

Sabiyah Broderick, a 28-year-old truck driver and former Marine from Locust Grove, GA, who currently resides in Jacksonville, NC, said she was up for any challenge and thought she'd be one of the strongest people in her tribe. And Kendra gushed about how her tribe was balanced with "immaculate" vibes.

Brandon Donlon, a 26-year-old content producer from Sicklerville, NJ, got emotional about being able to live out his dream of playing Survivor -- and Brandon D. wasn't the only one thrilled about the opportunity.

"Well, there's one face here that should be familiar to everyone. Bruce is back!" Jeff announced of the Season 44 castaway, who had suffered a serious injury on Day 1 of his season and had to be medically evacuated.

Bruce Perreault, a 47-year-old insurance agent from West Warwick, RI, claimed he didn't have any type of advantage, but Emily argued that Bruce was more mentally prepared for this game than anyone else on the barge.

Emily and Bruce actually debated back and forth about the issue, and then Emily accused him of speaking with authority.

"He's already giving instruction, so it's a little contradictory!" Emily pointed out.

Jeff then revealed the three different tribes and the players on each.

The "Belo Tribe, wearing blue," was comprised of Bruce; Brandon "Brando" Meyer, a 23-year-old software developer from Oak Park, CA, who currently resides in Seattle, WA; Jake O'Kane, a 26-year-old attorney from Hanson, MA, who currently resides in Boston, MA; Katurah Topps, a 35-year-old civil rights attorney from St. Louis, MO, who currently resides in Brooklyn, NY; Kellie Nalbandian, a 30-year-old critical care nurse from Weston, CT, who currently resides in New York, NY; and Kendra McQuarrie, a 31-year-old bartender from Haverhill, MA, who currently resides in Steamboat Springs, CO.

The "Lulu Tribe," wearing yellow, was made up of Hannah; Brandon D.; Emily; Kaleb Gebrewold, a 29-year-old in software sales from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, who currently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia; Sabiyah Broderick, a 28-year-old truck driver from Locust Grove, GA, who currently resides in Jacksonville, NC; and Sean Edwards, a 35-year-old school principal from Lawrence, NJ, who currently resides in Provo-Orem, UT.

The "Reba Tribe," wearing red, featured Austin Li Coon, a 26-year-old graduate student from San Jose, CA, who currently resides in Chicago, IL; Dee Valladares, a 26-year-old entrepreneur from Havana, Cuba, who currently resides in Miami, FL; Drew Basile, a 23-year-old graduate student from Birmingham, MI, who currently resides in Philadelphia, PA; Janani "J. Maya" Krishnan-Jha, a 24-year-old singer from San Francisco, CA, who currently resides in Los Angeles, CA; Julie Alley, a 49-year-old estate attorney from Brentwood, TN; and Nicholas "Sifu" Alsup, a 30-year-old gym owner from O'Fallon, IL.

The players then competed in their first challenge. Jeff instructed them to, two at a time, race to empty a massive crate filled with very heavy rope and sandbags. After retrieving a key, the next pair would leap off the barge, swim out to a small boat -- which had another key in it -- get inside of it, and paddle back.

The remaining pair would then take those two keys and use them to unlock two poles, which would be used to take down a flint that was hanging in a bag high above them.

The first tribe to take ahold of their flint would earn camp supplies -- a pot, a machete, and the flint. The losing tribes would have to try to earn those items another way.

The first tribe to complete all the tasks was Reba, but it was a close race until the finish.

Lulu and Belo then each had to choose two members from their tribe to participate in "Sweat vs. Savvy."

Sabiyah and Kaleb volunteered to represent Lulu, and Brandon M. and Jake also volunteered for Belo.

Each tribe then received a map to their new home, and Brandon D. appeared to be having a bit of a panic attack after the challenge.

Once the Reba tribe got to their camp, J.Maya said her tribe had the brawns, brain and the morale.

Julie told her tribe that she's a single mom and art teacher who works at home, but she's actually an estate lawyer.

"Who wants to give a million dollars to an attorney?!" Julie playfully questioned.

Over at Belo, Bruce was so thankful to have received another shot at playing the game. He told the group to consider him a crazy uncle rather than a dad, and the group spoke about how Emily had come across very aggressive and harsh.

Bruce said he didn't want to be the dad or the leader of the tribe, but he immediately began giving advice and telling people how to build the shelter, which annoyed a couple of his tribemates.

And then Kellie and Kendra bonded over how they're both Libras and free spirits.

Meanwhile, Emily was very nervous about the "Sweat or Savvy" volunteers and whether they'd return to camp with some type of advantage or idol. She was immediately skeptical of them.

Brandon D. then returned to camp after fainting during the first challenge. His tribemates welcomed him back with open arms, but he worried they were going to view him as weak or as a liability.

Lulu didn't know how to begin building a shelter without a machete, and Sean admitted that Brandon D. was pretty useless to them.

Over on a different beach, the "Sweat vs. Savvy" players were required to move 40 heavy logs and drop them into a pile 200 feet across the beach. Once they completed the "Sweat" task, they could move on to "Savvy."

"Savvy" required the castaways to remove a flint that was connected to a circle of rope, which was attached to a metal structure.

The first of the two pairs to complete both tasks would claim their tribe's camp supplies and return to camp as heroes. The losing tribe, however, would return empty-handed.

Sabiyah confessed that the log task was absolutely exhausting, and Brandon M. admitted it was one of the hardest things he'd ever done. Brandon M. even came close to passing out on the beach.

Brandon M. and Jake also struggled with the mental task, even though they had started it with confidence and optimism.

Brandon M. and Jake had to break the news to their tribemates that they lost the task and had no supplies for them. And Kaleb and Sabiyah also had to let their tribemates down and inform them that they had failed.

Emily figured Kaleb and Sabiyah had forfeited their tribe's supplies for an advantage, and so she demanded that they sit down and chat with her. Kaleb and Sabiyah insisted they hadn't won or received anything, but Emily called it "bullsh-t."

Sean then warned the "Sweat or Savvy" pair that Emily had been acting very skeptical of things and that it was a little annoying.

Even though it was just Day 1, Hannah had a meltdown and cried about how the game was really hard. She hated being "hangry" and having wet sneakers, and her anxiety made Brandon D. feel a little better about his own struggles.

On Day 2 at Belo's camp, Katurah, Kellie, and Kendra solidified their alliance and gushed about how they all have September birthdays. They discussed targeting Jake since he's a lawyer, which is exactly why Katurah had told her tribe that she's an office manager at a nonprofit.

Meanwhile, at Lulu, everyone was having a good time except for Emily, whom Kaleb called pessimistic. Kaleb and Hannah agreed that they didn't want to be around negativity.

Emily acknowledged her personality was "different," but she said she couldn't even pretend to be the same as them.

Over at Reba, Sifu was off looking for a hidden Immunity Idol. His goal was to "play fearlessly" and put it all on the line. His tribemates quietly discussed how Sifu was playing a Tony Vlachos-game. At one point, Sifu was even spying on the women, and they caught him.

Dee determined that Sifu couldn't be trusted in the game.

Austin then discovered a "Beware Advantage" tucked inside branches of a tree on the edge of the beach. He said he always had his eyes open.

This was a clue to a hidden Immunity Idol, but retrieving it would require Austin to complete a series of tasks. He also couldn't vote at Tribal Council until he got possession of the idol.

Austin's first task was to decipher a coded message on his tribe flag. On the tribe flag, there were a bunch of symbols, so Austin would have to nonchalantly stare at it to crack the code. He hoped his tribe would win immunity so he wouldn't have to worry about not having a vote.

On Day 3, the three tribes gathered together and met Jeff for the first Immunity Challenge of Season 45.

Jeff instructed one player from each tribe to race up and over a ramp into a mud pit, and then the next person could go. Once everybody was through, they had to drag a very heavy bag of coconuts to a net basket, where two players would race to shoot their coconuts into the basket until it's heavy enough to release a set of keys.

Working together, an entire tribe must get to the top of a tall tower, where two different players would use the keys to unlock  and then solve a massive Survivor 45 puzzle.

The first two tribes to finish would win immunity. The losing tribe must attend Tribal Council and vote out one of their own. They'd also lose their flint.

Jeff informed Belo and Lulu that their camp supplies would be waiting for them back at camp after the challenge; however, if either of them lost, Jeff would still be taking their flint as a penalty.

In the end, Belo won Immunity and Reba finished in second place, sending Lulu to Tribal Council, where someone would be the first person voted out of Survivor's 45th season. Belo also looked forward to having all of their camp supplies.

Brandon D. felt guilty about having to vote someone out when he had performed terribly in the challenge. Hannah, meanwhile, felt relief because she thought there was a chance her tribemates would vote her out and send her home.

Hannah had moments when she was having fun and wanted to stay, but she was dealing with mixed emotions. Hannah admitted to Brandon D. that she wanted her tribemates to write her name down so that she could sleep in a bed and eat food that night.

Brandon D. insisted to Hannah that she wanted to be there because he didn't want to compete in the game without her. Brandon D. said he was experiencing physical pain via heartburn, chest pains, and reflux.

Brandon D. therefore decided to play his "Shot in the Dark" that evening, thinking he was a liability. Brandon D. was very down on himself and continued to suffer from anxiety.

But Emily wanted to break up the bond Kaleb and Sabiyah had built. Emily thought Kaleb would be less of a threat to her going forward without Sabiyah by his side.

Kaleb then heard that Emily had been throwing his name out there. Since Kaleb was on the chopping block, he pitched an "easy vote" with Brandon D.

Kaleb wanted to build the strongest coalition possible to take with him into the next part of the game.

At Tribal Council on Night 3, Hannah announced how she was an "emotional wreck" on the island and was in "a constant battle" of where her heart was in this game.

Sabiyah said while Hannah would be a simple vote, there were a lot of politics going on and everyone wanted to have the best possible team. Sabiyah also didn't think Hannah would quit on them, even if the game got really hard.

Emily then announced how Kaleb and Sabiyah shut other people out. Sabiyah, on the other hand, accused Emily of isolating herself, especially since Kaleb and Sabiyah had been forced to work together early in the game.

Hannah went on to declare how she was "having a real hard time" and couldn't stop thinking about food while her tribemates talked about strategy.

"I see five people who want to be here more than anything, and I love them, but everything in my body is like, 'I'm not going back to that camp! Please don't make me go back to that camp,'" Hannah told Jeff.

"I'm just going to be really honest, like, I don't need to be voted out to go home."

Jeff asked for clarification on whether Hannah had implied that she intended to quit before the vote even happened.

"I don't know how much more forthright I can be. I am not bringing heart to this! I'm not! I'm not mentally here," Hannah confessed.

Emily shared how she didn't want to keep a castaway around who didn't even want to participate.

Emily said although there was already drama in the tribe, she had no doubt that all of the other tribe members wanted to be there and continue on the show.

"We all respect the game, so why vote somebody else out?" Brandon D. questioned. "I'm going to vote Hannah out tonight."

ADVERTISEMENT
Other tribe members agreed, and Hannah announced how she was "making them" do this. Sean cried, saying this isn't what he wanted but he'd follow suit.

Hannah explained how it wouldn't be fair to eliminate someone who wanted to be in the game so much more than she wanted.

After the tribe made it clear to Jeff that they were all going to vote out Hannah, a formal vote was not necessary and Jeff snuffed Hannah's torch.

"I love you guys, so much," Hannah said on her way out of the game. "Is there an Edge of Extinction? If so, I'm not going."
