You might find this study interesting which basically backs up what you have noticed.She has a straight up hourglass figure, that is pretty obviously not a male body. And that's just a super faraway picture, I imagine if it were closer up you would be better able to tell as well.
But tbh, I have noticed that women and gay men tend to be a lot better at "clocking" trans people generally. I think the last time I checked, working theory is that it comes from having to be aware of the people around you at all time and alert for signs/signals that they might want to do you harm. Women learn at a young age to pay close attention to people's (men's, in particular) facial features, etc. to try to gauge mood and likeliness to do harm - this learning is part of female socialization. Gay people frequently (though not always) learn the same due to the risk of assault from homophobes. Straight men, obviously, aren't socialized this way.
(I want to clarify I don't mean this as an insult, it's simply a statement of fact: From my experience, straight men tend to consider trans people much more "passing" than women and gay people do. This isn't the first time I've seen a straight man go "hey that trans-identified person passes" and I look and it's immediately obvious to me and other women and gay people that they're trans.)
IME, absolutely zero trans-identified males pass in public, at least not to women. There are about five zillion different giveaways: Height, body size generally, hand/foot size, facial features, shoulder breadth, voice, general body language... Trans-identified females have a better chance because testosterone is insane in what it does to a woman's body, but there are still tell-tale signs: Height, body shape/size, hips, voice, body language, etc. It's not really that hard to tell.
I would also keep in mind that Survivor is a television show. So what you're seeing is heavily curated and edited. If you couldn't tell she was trans, they probably wanted it that way and chose shots with camera angles, focus, etc. that was flattering and made her look more masculine. If you met her in person, chances are you would be able to "clock" her instantly.
