But instead of the 27-year-old’s severed thumb being reattached to his hand, it was turned into jewelry.
“They ended up putting it in some resin, putting it in a necklace,” Booker revealed. “When I got back, we put a clasp on it.”
The shocking reveal came after host Jeff Probst shared Booker decided he wasn’t going to be able to outwit, outplay and outlast on the island as a member of the jury, becoming the first player to leave the jury in show’s history.
“First, a little business,” Probst explained to the players on the Nov. 11 episode. “Last night, immediately following Tribal Council, Brady asked to go home to tend to his injured thumb. So, Brady is out of the game. He’s gone, and will not be a member of the jury.”
While Booker’s historic decision to leave Fiji was on Day 14 of the competition, his now-infamous injury occurred 10 days prior.
It was on the fourth day of the competition—which was chronicled on the Sept. 30 episode—when Booker accidentally cut off a “quarter” of his thumb while chopping firewood with a machete.
