re: Survivor Season 49 - Premieres 9/24

Even though I am not the biggest fan of her, I really hope Soph is planning to take Rizzo's idol at one of these later tribals to be her big move in the game. If I am not mistaken, nobody knows about this advantage.

Christina is 1000% making the final three because they all think they can beat her as she’s not a threat. Until she has a majority on jury then she wins. However I do think this cast isn’t going to get rise of Rizzo or Savannah…so she may be a casualty of an easy vote in the next two tribals.

This could be a huge move if she steals his idol and then boots him in one of the next two weeks. You're right that no one knows about it.

There should also be another idol in play now after Kristina burned hers. No one has been shown hunting for it.

Yep - blue Sophie can win this all if she uses her power advantage to get rid of Rizzo. If he makes it to final 3, he wins.

Sophie has the story of going to tribal over and over with her original tribe, adapting at the merge, being in the bottom 3 again, and rising to the top. She has trust but never gave up her knowledge. Savannah is so disliked by all, that even though she played a good game, whoever is sitting next to her will probably get more votes.

That was a totally stupid move. They take out Yellow Sophie but leave the three people calling the shots alone just to appease Sage

Nope.

Steven Kristina and Sage control the next vote with his block vote advantage.

Worst case for them is if Savannah wins immunity then Rizzo can play his idol for himself and they have to settle for blue Sophie. But those three would still decide who goes home at final 5.

In theory it was a solid move, as long as he didn’t have to use his advantage he didn’t care as long as Kristina and Sage were ok. Plus they clearly won points with the jury by getting Sophie out, so it worked on multiple levels.

But the problem with his plan is he doesn’t know about Sophie’s KIP advantage, which could blow that up.


My question is why didn’t Rizzo push to just vote out Kristina if he’s so convinced about the steal a vote.

Assuming he knows he’s ok either way and isn’t worried about losing Sophie or Savannah. Still pretty ballsy to trust Steven and hold that idol knowing that if yellow Sophie had gone with Steven Sage and Kristina the numbers were there to get him out. Just supremely confident in his read of everyone week after week.

Back to Steven’s advantage, the note said he had to use the block vote before votes are cast. If Sophie doesn’t know to use it before the vote, not wait until Jeff reads the vote when he asks if anyone has an idol or advantage she might his her chance??

Either way, next tribal will be very interesting.

I think I'd be pulling for Rizzo if it wasn't for all these unnecessary fake idol plays at tribal. The one tonight was completely pointless. I was excited to see all the drama with the steal, and I was shocked Kristina and Sage turned on Steven.

So Sage and Kristina flipped on Steven. Now the Tre Amigos will vote them out if they don’t win immunity or find an advantage. Steven had a plan to have their alliances in the majority vote and both turned on them. He was basically the only threat to Savannah. So I bet Savannah wins it all.

I’m tired of seeing Rizo cry every episode and flaunt this idol he has. Vote that mf'er out.

Agreed completely. She squandered a golden opportunity.

He played his advantage before they left for tribal council. Therefore when Soph asked about it, he already played it. Unbeknown by her, and he didn’t have to lie.
