The new era of Survivor has had several shocking moments, but none more controversial than when Mike Gabler won Survivor 43 over Cassidy Clark and Owen Knight in a landslide 7-1-0 vote. Cassidy's strategic gameplay and competition wins were not rewarded by the jury spearheaded by Cassidy's former ally, Karla Cruz Godoy, who decided that Gabler's under-the-radar approach to the game was more deserving of the million-dollar prize. Karla's jealousy over being voted off at the hands of her former ally and inherent sexism from a male-majority jury led to a smear campaign against Cassidy that cost her the victory.
