Survivor 48, Episode 7, aired on Wednesday night.
We have finally reached the stage of the merged tribe.
Charity Nelms was blindsided at the latest Tribal Council on a 7-5-1 vote.
Sai Hughley got five votes, and Sai tossed a vote at Cedrek to spook him. It worked.
There were 12 people left as the new episode began, and the battle was at hand to make it to at least the jury.
What would Day 14 hold for the Survivor 48 cast?

Mitch thought Sai would be voted out, 12-1. Instead, he was left in the dark.
Sai was surprised to get five votes and accused them of being obsessed with her.
Chaos ensued about the rogue vote for Cedrek McFadden. Mitch tried to smooth things with Sai, but this was the second time he tried voting her out.
Mitch called it “a rude awakening” to not be clued in on the Charity vote.
