Having made it to Merge, Toni became the first castaway to have her torch snuffed and join the jury on Survivor SA: Return of the Outcasts.

Tejan played his hidden immunity idol to nullify the three votes against him from Felix, Dino and Phil – but ultimately wasted it with Steffi, Killarney, Marian, Shane, Danté and Meryl targeting Toni, to send her to Ponderosa. Toni herself had voted for Meryl and Tejan, for Danté. 

As Nico snuffed her torch, Toni turned to Salan and warned them that she would be the ‘Mayoress of Ponderosa’.
