The story

Claire Rafson arrived at Survivor 44 a sharp, self-aware tech investor who'd built a career as the 'odd one out' and figured that perspective would serve her in the game. She barely got the chance to use it.

After her tribe lost the first immunity challenge, Claire landed on the wrong side of the very first vote and was sent home fifteenth, one of the season's earliest casualties. A quick, candid player whose game ended before it could really begin — a reminder of how unforgiving the new era's opening days can be.
