So, women that he was in charge of could come forward from incidents that happened years ago.
It wouldn't be shocking at all if this has happened since episodes have aired, but that's not why he was booted. It's obviously something that happened out on the island. There is a lot of dead time being boated around, plus they all have to film the one on one interviews, so no shortage of opportunity to get inappropriate and not have it caught by camera.
Sort of like when the big dude on the Davids tribe hurt his back on a boat ride a few seasons ago. No cameras rolling.

Sad thing is that Dan brought his kid out there which makes this all so effing weird.
Found this out there in cyberworld.

PEOPLE has spoken to multiple people involved with the show’s production, who confirmed that the incident in question — which involved a member of the show’s production team — happened after an immunity challenge as Spilo and other contestants were getting into a boat to transport them back to the camp.
At one point, Spilo allegedly touched the female crew member’s leg. According to multiple sources, he insisted that the contact was inadvertent and accidental as he lost his balance while trying to get into the boat. At least one of the remaining contestants witnessed the incident.
But the show’s production team wasn’t convinced that the contact was merely incidental. After consulting with the show’s legal team, producers eventually decided to remove him from the show.
Sources tell PEOPLE that Spilo vehemently disagreed with the decision to remove him from the game.

Seems like a bit of BS if that's all.

I wonder if they had a bit of forethought after the day 22 fiasco.
If he made the final 3, the backlash would have been awful. Sounds like he was sandbagged a bit. Sort of like a make up call in football

He must have touched that leg in a certain way to where it was clear that it wasn't accidental.

The really crazy part is it happens on the season with the least attractive cast ever.
I agree but some people don't care.
Going to be a lot going on for the finale. I agree with some on here, Tommy will win if they don't turn on him first. Dean is a douche but has that advantage that could propel him to the end.

He hasn't even received a vote since the Kellee/Dan showdown. He was a sure bet for the final 3 as a goat and would have been a longshot for any votes considering the people already on the jury. This absolutely could be the case.

before the #metoo movement, production would have loved to have Dan in the finale and get into the whole grabbyhands thing.
Now, they are all CYA.

Yep, they didn't do anything the first time so they definitely had to cover their arses.

I wonder how the producers reconcile their decision to make a case against Dan but also showed last night, clearly (in my opinion), a clip where Elaine got grabby hands with a clearly annoyed Tommy while on the beach. Did she take his power? I couldn't be more annoyed with the show this season. I've been in and out of boats and vehicles where a leg or shoulder is used as a brace. At this point I'm not buying any of it. I think, as others have pointed out, that Dan was sure to be final three and the producers didn't like it.

I read this dude's recaps most weeks, and every season he does his ranking of all seasons. The dude has been covering Survivor since season 1 and is on site for most filmings/challenges, etc.
I don't agree with his whole list , but he has this one ranked dead last, which I totally agree with.

39. Survivor: Island of the Idols
(Winner: ???)
I’m a guy who tends to be pretty analytical. But even I recognize that when it comes to ranking Survivor seasons, it ultimately comes down to a feeling. You can make pros and cons lists (as I have even done in a few of the entries above), but, in the end, it all boils down to how a season makes you feel. And, unfortunately, due to the events surrounding the inappropriate touching — and the way it was handled by both production and the other contestants — the ultimate feeling when it comes to this season is sadness. Watching Survivor should be fun! But nothing has seemed fun in light of the far more serious issue that clearly outweighed the final game result. Quite simply: It made the rest of the season impossible to enjoy. And so even though there were several things and people worth celebrating at various points in the show’s 39th installment, the end result is that this felt like the least entertaining outing in the franchise’s history. And so here it sits.

If the reason is because of his accidental fall and grab on to someone, that is just plain stupid. Now, if he fell and went face first between her legs, different story.
This show had most definitely been annoying as frick.
Still going to watch though

Also announced that the season finale will be taped and broadcast with a significant time delay (more than the several minutes they are accustomed to using for their last episode and reunion for a series.
Jeff Varner, former Survivor player who has an interesting history in his own right, posted this on Facebook after the episode last night:
"What just happened on Survivor tonight is 100% bull shite. I have so much to say and am fuming right now. About to climb the walls. I've talked to cast members. I know what happened that got him removed and I'm telling you, 100% horseshite. The cast has rallied behind Dan and few to no one is behind Kellee. It's so painful to see what is happening with this show. They are pre-taping the reunion because cast members plan to publicly support Dan and call out producers. Can't have that on a live mic. Ugh. So pissed. Rant over. For now."
I agree that what happened with Kellee didn't sit right, and the production crew stepping in and showing that in the episode just left this season with a weird vibe. Like the last season of The Office. It broke that wall. This season just hasn't been fun.

If he was falling, kinda hard to think about where you grab. I wish Survivor would have the balls to just state what happened.

If they really did oust the guy over something incidental just to not have him in the final 3, that's totally breaking the entire spirit of Survivor, which is supposed to be microcosm of society. If the players in the game didn't want Dan gone, it shouldn't be their prerogative to remove him. He obviously really did creep Kellee out, but apparently no one else cared. I guess that sends the wrong message, even though that's the real message.
