With "Mergatory" and the split Tribal Council behind them, the 10 remaining players of Survivor 48 began planning their paths to the end. A core alliance had formed days earlier, but cracks quickly showed as not everyone agreed on who to bring in — or who to take out. This week’s vote targeted an outsider, culminating in a dramatic torch snuffing.
Chrissy Sarnowsky, a fire lieutenant, was voted out. She had formed an early bond with David, Kamilla, and Kyle, but their alliance was scattered during the tribe swap. Post-merge, they found new footing with players like Mitch and Cedrek. However, David moved to form a new "strong" alliance, which Chrissy openly opposed. She criticized both the idea of playing "honestly" and the players supporting it, making her a clear target. Despite trying to redirect votes, Chrissy’s resistance sealed her fate.
Meanwhile, the Immunity Challenge offered more than safety. Finalists David, Joe, Eva, and Mary won a reward trip to the Sanctuary, where Eva found a hidden advantage and a cryptic clue to follow torches along the beach. The outcome of this twist remains to be seen.
The challenge’s bottom four — Kamilla, Mitch, Shauhin, and Star — embarked on a journey and took part in a cooperative brain game. Kamilla and Mitch strategically handed Star a red ball, stripping her of a vote at Tribal Council.
With Chrissy gone, nine contestants remain: David Kinne, Eva Erickson, Joe Hunter, Kamilla Karthigesu, Kyle Fraser, Mary Zheng, Mitch Guerra, Shauhin Davari, and Star Toomey. Alliances are shifting, and with advantages in play, the game’s endgame is heating up.
