After several days on the island, Kiko Matamoros describes his state on Survivor as being in a very limited condition. He endures intense discomfort as bites pepper his body, and his appetite disappears. He often vomits what he manages to eat and experiences persistent diarrhea, making each day a new challenge.
When the team moves to Playa Fatal, the quieter section of the island with scarcer resources, his condition deteriorates even further. There are moments when friends find him unresponsive on the ground, his energy completely depleted. A single piece of coconut is swallowed and later expelled, triggering grave concern among the group and the medical unit.
In this vulnerable moment, the medical staff steps in to stabilize him. The situation becomes clearer to Kiko as he explains to the team what he has endured: vomiting the only coconut he ate, persistent diarrhea, and swelling that alters the appearance of his hands and face due to the bites. He conveys a sense of despair and fatigue over the ongoing ordeal, hoping for relief and better days ahead.
With his condition not showing signs of improvement, the possibility arises that Kiko may have to leave the competition on medical grounds or if the public decides not to support him any longer given his current standing among the four remaining contestants. At present, the prevailing view among observers is that continuing under these conditions would be unsustainable for him and could jeopardize his health and safety.
