The story

Nobody in Survivor 42 hoarded advantages like Drea Wheeler. A secret amulet, an extra vote, a hidden idol she played at the double boot to cover herself and leave Tori Meehan exposed, and then the holy grail — the 'Knowledge is Power' steal that lets you yank a rival's advantage clean out of their hands. For a stretch she was the most loaded player on the island, and she knew it.

So at the final seven she aimed Knowledge is Power right at Mike Turner's idol, the play that should've been her coronation. Except Omar and Lindsay got to Mike first and tipped him off, he quietly slipped the idol to Omar, and when Drea made her move she grabbed nothing but air. Suddenly out of cover, she was voted out seventh, 5-3. An arsenal that loud is supposed to win you the game, not get you read like a book — Drea played out front the whole way, right up until the one vote where the whole island saw her coming.
