Survivor 48

[CYdTracked]

Camilla is not with Mitch and Star, wth. Its likely 5v3 one way or the other.

True, I think Mary is with Joe and Eva at this point, even she was kind of catching onto Kyle and Shauhin targeting David to save Kamilla. She doesn't really have a possible path to final 3 if she flips on Joe and Eva. Mitch is in a really nice spot after this vote I think, he could easily be a swing vote at next tribal if no one is targeting him. Star I have no idea where she will want to side as she doesn't really have any relationships other than Mitch so Star and Mitch are basically the 2 votes someone needs to swing to their side to keep the numbers in their favor going forward.

I find Star somewhat amusing... I'm not sure she knows Survivor is a game and not an extended vacation, lol.

Kyle playing the best game. Thank God David is gone. Long live Eva and Joe.

We'll see how it plays out. His move this week was either brilliant or stupid depending on how the next vote or 2 goes. David sniffed out his secret alliance with Kamilla but no one else would believe him. If Joe and Eva get voted out as a result in 1 of these next 2 votes then it was a good move and Joe and Eva will be kicking themselves for not believing David. I truly believe David was all in on trying to make the final 3 Joe Eva and Him and would have stayed loyal to that alliance.

I just don't get why Kyle is so obsessed with keeping Kamilla around. Him trying as hard as he did to flip that vote to Chrissy could have blown up in his face if anyone had starting thinking of another angle as to why he wanted Chrissy so bad like David pointed out several times. I realize we see everything going on with the edits they show but man he reeked of desperation that episode that I am surprised no one else in that alliance didn't start to question his intent.

It’s edited for television to make it look like that. Every single person ended up voting for Chrissy. Going into tribal council, they made it look like David and company were dead set on Kamilla. They clearly and purposefully didn’t show when David for sure was flipped to Chrissy. It might not have been so desperate looking to the other people in real life.

Anyone not named Joe or Eva should be realizing the smart move is to get one of them off ASAP.

Not a popular viewer want, but if you're there playing the game one of those 2 are definitely going to win if they aren't booted.

Somebody's gonna win.... might as well be Joe or Eva. Likeable players.

Makes me sad, but you're probably right.

Hot take:
One of Joe, Eva, Kyle, Shauhin, Star, Kamilla, Mitch, or Mary will win the game.

Kyle working so hard to keep Kamilla is a very smart move by him. Some people don't understand it. But if you remember back to the tribe swap they worked hard to convince their new tribe that they aren't aligned or even like each other when in reality they are each other's top alliance. He has a "secret" alliance the rest of the majority alliance doesn't know or believe. She is also in good social standing with the minority alliance. Giving them seemingly insurmountable power.

I really liked David and didn't want to see him go. He was right about the insurrection. But the better planners were able to work their magic and convince their alliance to believe their lie instead of the truth. Trust is huge whether placed correctly or not. Joe and Eva were duped I just hope they figure it out before it's too late. I haven't trusted Shauhin to stay with the "strong" alliance from the beginning. I really wanted the alliance to stick together. At the same time I can recognize and respect a good move/good game play like Kyle and Kamilla have been doing. Come on Joe and Eva pull this thing out.

I see a couple reasons (both could be wrong).
1. Escape route if the strong alliance somehow collapses and becomes the minority

2. If he gets to final tribal, part of his pitch could be this 'big reveal' that he actually had a secret alliance with Kamilla since before the tribe swap. They conspired to pretend they aren't tight, she clued him in when Shauhin looked in his bag, he pushed the Chrissy vote to protect her, etc. I think jurors in this era are more apt to be like "Wow you fooled me! Here's my vote!" than to be bitter about the long con.

3. As others have said they share Guyanese heritage, and they seem to be close in age. If I was on Survivor with 17 strangers and one was another 30-something from Iowa, I'd feel connected to them too
