Survivor 49 Shake-Up: Split Immunity and a New Advantage Spur First Live Tribal

A production-devised split with a bankable vote forced fresh calculations at a turbulent Tribal Council.

Overview

  • The Final 10 were divided into two teams of five for an endurance challenge that awarded group safety and a personal advantage to the overall winner.
  • Savannah won the challenge, secured immunity for her group, received a special vote power, and later chose to bank that vote for future use.
  • Jeff Probst described the advantage on the On Fire podcast as a dilemma meant to expose players’ strategy and character rather than dictate outcomes.
  • Kristina located a rehidden idol at the merge beach, adding to the growing cache of advantages influencing post-merge negotiations.
  • Rizo entered the vote with a known idol he did not play as a live Tribal unfolded, and a surprise exit from the losing group reset short‑term power dynamics.
