High emotions during the immunity challenge lead longtime host Jeff Probst to shed a few tears of his own. Here's what happened this episode.

As an emotionally distraught Erickson struggled to compose herself, Probst signalled for fellow contestant Joe Hunter to go over and comfort her. Hunter, a 45-year-old fire captain, was the one castaway Erickson had told about her autism, and so he knew the methods to help calm her down, including hugging her tightly and holding her hands.
