This week’s Survivor 49 episode gave fans the real taste of the Tribal Council, leading to a wild elimination that no one saw coming.
The latest episode, teeming with blindsides, sneaky advantages, once again reminded fans of the fact that no one is safe in the game of Survivor.
Who was eliminated on Survivor 49 this week?
The spotlight landed on Jawan Pitts as he became the latest contestant to go home, despite his bold game plan. Growing up a natural provider and caretaker, Pitts faced early hurdles, like struggling to make fire on Day 2. This caught Savannah Louie’s eye.
What started as an alliance soon soured, with small clashes over belongings and doubts about his reliability pushing him to the bottom of the Uli majority. Even teaming up with Sage Ahrens-Nichols couldn’t save him. In the end, Pitts got blindsided in a Tribal Council.
The Tribal Council was full of multiple game advantages. Kristina Mills used the real idol to cancel votes targeting Steven Ramm, while Rizo Velovic used a fake idol just to stir the pot and see who’d bite.
Meanwhile, Louie used her Extra Vote from a split Tribal Council, tipping the final count to 5-3-1.
The episode also shed light on personal growth amid the cutthroat game. Mills faced an emotional low before the Reward Challenge. She became emotional thinking about her late mother and the isolation and loneliness she felt on the island.
“I don’t even have my mom anymore, and it’s f—ing not fair. It’s not fair,” Mills said.
Her vulnerability, especially during a tricky balance beam challenge, turned into a moment of strength as she pushed through, even as her team fell short. Jeff Probst called this a survivor moment, hinting at how personal struggle can fuel resilience and determination.
After the shocking Tribal Council, the players still in the game are Sage Ahrens-Nichols, Kristina Mills, Steven Ramm, Rizo Velovic, Sophie Segreti, Savannah Louie, and Sophi Balerdi.
