Snuffer

A snuffer is what the host uses to extinguish a torch of a castaway that is eliminated at Tribal Council.

Use
When a castaway gets voted off from a tribe, the host would ask that contestant to hand over his/her torch, insert it in a designated hole in front of the host, where the latter will use the snuffer to cover the lit torch, extinguishing it in the process. In some cases, the snuffer is half filled with water, for more effectivity.

Trivia

 * While most of the show's memorabilia are auctioned for charity, Jeff Probst keeps the snuffers as souvenirs.
