For the last month, the Quinn family has embraced a new after-dinner routine to keep themselves entertained during quarantine. Taking inspiration from their favorite show, "Survivor," the family holds a tribal council-style vote to determine who has to do the dishes (noting that whoever cooked dinner has immunity during the vote).
"We've been watching 'Survivor' for as long as I can remember, and we always joke about eventually applying for the show and winning it," Caroline Quinn, one of the four Quinn siblings, told Insider.
Despite their love for the show, the "Survivor" superfans may not have the necessary survival skills to take home the CBS show's $1 million prize — at least, not according to their recent TikTok video.
During a family tribal council in April, Charles and Alice — the oldest and youngest siblings, respectively — each scored two votes. In conjunction with "Survivor" rules, the two would have to partake in the show's typical tie-breaker: a fire-making challenge.
Caroline filmed the entire event, which amounted to over an hour of footage, and uploaded the highlights to TikTok — where the video promptly went viral, receiving 1.7 million views.
"Outwit outplay outlast," she captioned the video, referencing the "Survivor" mantra.
In the clip, Alice and Charles kneeled by the family's fireplace and attempted to make their own flames. As they reached the hour mark, Alice's hand cramped up, and her brother, William took over. Ultimately, William produced fire first, leaving Charles to do the dishes.
"The fire-making contest took SO LONG," Caroline recalled, "but we were determined to see it through."
Ultimately, the video won praise from thousands of commenters demanding "more Survivor TikToks" and "justice for Charles," who, viewers determined, should not have been relegated to dish duty since Alice bowed out of the competition.
The family, Caroline says, has been pleasantly surprised by their viral fame and the love for "Survivor."
"I honestly thought it was surprising that it got so much attention because I didn't think that many people liked 'Survivor,'" she said. "I feel like the app has a lot of content about popular shows like 'The Bachelor,' 'Outer Banks,' and 'Tiger King.'"
Ultimately, she says, it felt good to get some recognition and bring a little joy to the internet.
"I felt really validated and excited that other people found it entertaining," she said. "I didn't expect it."
