^1 In "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished", Sarah used a Legacy Advantage, negating Cirie's vote against her. Also, Aubry, Tai, and Troyzan each used Hidden Immunity Idols and negated all the votes cast at Tribal Council. Because of this and Brad possessing individual immunity, Cirie was the only person left who was not immune, automatically eliminating her from the game.
