Survivor 49 Introduces 'Revenge' Vote as First Live Tribal Shakes Up the Merge

The twist was designed to force strategic choices that reveal player character, Jeff Probst said on the show's podcast.

Overview

  • Ten players were split into two random teams for a group-immunity endurance challenge that sent the losing five to Tribal Council.
  • Savannah won the challenge, secured safety for her team, and gained a new 'revenge' extra-vote power.
  • The advantage allowed her to join the vulnerable group’s camp and Tribal, where she opted to bank the extra vote for later use.
  • A leaked backup-vote plan circulated between Sophie, MC, Jawan, and Sage, reshaping targets before the vote.
  • The season’s first live Tribal erupted, Rizo kept his hidden idol, and a rehidden idol was discovered by Kristina.
