Even in its 35th season, Survivor is still providing some shocking moments.
In the season premiere of the latest season, subtitled Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers, competitor Alan Ball made teammate JP Hilsabeck strip down to ensure he wasn’t hiding an immunity idol in his shorts.

Hilsabeck obliged to end the drama, but Bell made himself come off as extremely paranoid.
“Alan basically created a spectacle out of nothing,” teammate Ashley Nolan said. “There really is no trust.”
“I don’t trust Ashley and J.P. as far as I can throw them,” Ball said later.
Fans on Twitter could not believe the lengths Ball went to satisfy his paranoia. Many claimed he should have been voted off the island for the stunt, but he remained safe at tribal council.
See some of the best reaction below.
Forcing another man to a strip search before the first vote can’t be a good sign of things to come… #survivor
