Towards the ending of the show, the screen faded to black with following words appearing on the screen, “Dan was removed from the game after a report of another incident, which happened off-camera and did not involve a player.” There is no official announcement made by either side as both Spilo and CBS denied to comment on it.

Not longer than a couple of weeks that Dan was accused of violating a female contestant's personal space and has now been removed from the show. Although the nature of the incident was not explained, according to the reports from a leading portal, the incident in question involves a member of the show's production team while the incident happened after an immunity challenge as Dan and other contestants were getting into a boat to head back to the camp.
