Right out of the gate in the Survivor 41 premiere, contestants Xander Hastings, JD Robinson and Danny McCray were each chosen by their respective tribes for an unknown task, and what ensued was ultimately a prisoner's dilemma. In other words, the three strangers were asked to assume the others’ intentions. In private, they each had to choose between protecting their vote or risking it. If their choices were unanimous either way, then everyone would either lose or keep their vote in the next tribal council. If it wasn't unanimous — ding ding ding — then whoever chose to risk their vote would get an extra vote later to use at their leisure.
