A big Immunity Challenge for the final 15 players
Immunity and a Reward was on the line at a new Tribe Immunity Challenge.
The winning tribes would receive fruit. First place would yield a huge cache that they could feast on.
Vula talked trash as they arrived and guaranteed they would win.
The Lagi Tribe won. They got safety and the fruit reward. Charity, David, Eva, Mary, and Star were safe.
The Civa Tribe finished in second. Bianca, Cedrek, Chrissy, Mitch, and Sai were safe. They got the smaller fruit portion.
Joe, Kamilla, Kyle, Shauhin, and Thomas lost. The Vula Tribe curse continued. After bragging that they would win, instead, they were sent to Tribal Council with Jeff Probst.
Survivor 48, Episode 4 Tribal Council
Joe, Kamilla, Kyle, Shauhin, and Thomas were in danger at the fourth Survivor 48 Tribal Council.
Joe, Shauhin, and Thomas were pushing to get out either Kamilla or Kyle. Shauhin even searched Kyle’s bag for advantages. He didn’t find anything because he didn’t search hard enough. Kyle had a Hidden Immunity Idol from his tribe’s beach.
Kyle played his Hidden Immunity Idol to gain safety.
Jeff read the votes as Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, Thomas, and Thomas.
Thomas Krottinger was blindsided and voted out by Kyle and Kamilla.
A new round of Survivor 50 voting has begun. It could yield some interesting results.
