It was a rough episode for Charity Nelms this week on Survivor 48. Not only did she get voted out of the game — becoming the first person to get a torch snuffed after all the players converged on one beach — but she was mere inches away from obtaining an advantage that might have gotten her immunity.

The moment occurred after players were informed that an advantage in the upcoming immunity challenge was somewhere in the tribe camp area. Charity was the first one to spot it, but as she hustled over to retrieve the prize — seemingly being the only person to do so — she was overtaken by Sai Hughley, who was not even in the camera frame when the chase began.

Charity was left with nothing, while Sai was granted a fast pass to the individual portion of the challenge… which she then lost to Kyle Fraser. But Jeff Probst had a very strong reaction to Sai’s advantage chase-down, which he revealed on the latest episode of his On Fire with Jeff Probst podcast.

“When I saw this in the first cut of the episode, I lost my mind,” Probst says on the podcast. “Because here’s what I saw. The guy who shot that, Louis Powell, one of our South Africans, has been with the show for a very long time. Met his wife on the show, Maria Karakashian, and they got married. They’re an amazing couple. Just another example of family on Survivor.”

And another example of the camera telling the story. “I couldn’t believe his camera work,” Probst says. “Because what he did, if you go back and watch that, is he framed that shot so that we only saw Charity as she was running toward it. And then he pans over just as Sai comes into frame.”

Sai’s emergence into frame was exciting… and a little bit scary “It was like a horror movie!” Probst continues. “It was unreal. I was squirming in my chair as they race to the advantage.”

This one camera shot of this one moment is what keeps Probst so enthused about his show. “That’s a tiny little moment,” says the host. “But we talk about what separates Survivor all the time. It’s the instinct of a storyteller behind the lens — like Louis was in that moment that he could see with his left eye, ‘Oh, here comes Sai, I’m going to wait, wait, wait… BOOM! Let her enter the frame.’ And now the audience goes, ‘Oh my God, where did Sai come from?'”

Probst gives full credit to the cameraman. “It was unbelievable. If you have the ability on your TV to actually go frame by frame, I’m telling you, when you see it, it looks like Sai appears out of nowhere. It is really freaky. That’s because of great camera work. He just framed it beautifully.”

He also gives props to the player. “Sai is everywhere. Sai is such a great player, she always kind of knows where to be and how to get at you. And then look at this, she snakes the advantage from Charity. An amazing moment.”

And one that may have sent Charity out of the game. For more from Probst on the episode, check out the latest installment of On Fire.
