Survivor Season 49 Episode 8 gave Savannah Louie the chance she needed after hitting a low point in the previous episode. The new advantage introduced this week completely changed the game, and Savannah used it to flip the power in her favor.
The recent episode highlighted key players like Savannah and MC, and fans immediately started talking about how this twist could reshape Survivor Season 49 moving forward.
Who was voted out in Survivor 49 Episode 8?
Survivor 49 Episode 8 saw a big advantage land in Savannah’s lap at the perfect time. She entered the episode feeling down after losing her closest ally, Nate, in a shocking blindside in Episode 7.
Savannah’s strong alliance fell to the bottom for the first time. But things changed when Jeff Probst announced that the 10 remaining players would be split into two groups of five and only the losing team would go to Tribal Council.
But the twist was that one player would decide the winner, and that person would also earn a major advantage for their team by getting immunity and a food reward. Savannah won the challenge by outlasting Sophie in a balance competition.
She picked up a secret advantage from Tree Mail. The losing group – Sophie, Jawan, Rizo, MC and Sage – expected to fight for their survival. However, she would join the losing group at Tribal Council and could either use an extra vote or save it for later.
Savannah immediately saw this as her chance for “revenge.” She visited the losing tribe’s camp, surprising everyone and shaking up their plans. Before she arrived, Rizo looked like the main target, and Sophie and MC were scrambling to shift the vote.
Then, MC accidentally exposed the plan, which angered Sophie and pushed her name forward as another possible vote. When Savannah showed up, she only talked to Rizo about her advantage. That secret brought the two together, giving Rizo an extra layer of safety.
Rizo used the moment to push for either Sophie or MC to go home, knowing Savannah’s presence gave him extra security without needing to use his immunity idol. At Tribal Council, chaos broke out as the players whispered and tried to change plans, but it didn’t matter.
Savannah chose to save her extra vote for later, and Rizo kept his idol. When the votes were read, MC was sent home with a clear majority. Sophie, Sage, Jawan, and Rizo all voted for her, ending her game on the show.
