Survivor 49 Resets Again With Surprise Second Swap Ahead of Expected Merge

A second tribe swap shrank teams to foursomes, accelerating strategy shifts before a likely merge.

Overview

  • The cast was reshuffled into three tribes of four on Day 11, forcing rapid recalculations on thin numbers.
  • Hina won the reward and then immunity, Uli earned the second immunity, and Kele faced Tribal Council.
  • A pivotal vote at Kele removed one player, reshaping pre-merge leverage without clear tribal lines.
  • Sophi found a Knowledge Is Power advantage as MC continued to navigate a Beware Advantage with voting restrictions.
  • Kristina received a brief medical check for heat-related issues and returned to compete, while Jeff Probst highlighted contrasting player styles on the show’s aftershow podcast.
