They sequester everyone so the spoiler sites don’t know who is in or out based on the players movements. As standard procedure. Now, I’m sure they made an exception for Jenna Morasca when her mom had cancer and she quit to go see her.

The Jury
The first seven Survivors voted off simply go back home. However, beginning with the eighth evictee, Survivors voted off are sequestered (in a much more comfortable location!), and return each Tribal Council to silently watch as the remaining Survivors vote another member off. Communication between surviving contestants and the Jury is forbidden.
