Survivor 49 Reshuffles Into Three Tribes of Four as Merge Nears

The late swap compressed margins to set up a volatile race to the next phase.

Overview

  • On Day 11, players dropped buffs for a second swap that reformed Hina, Uli and Kele into four-person tribes.
  • Hina won the reward and the first immunity, Uli earned the second immunity, and Kele went to Tribal Council after a maze finish.
  • A new Knowledge Is Power advantage was discovered at Hina, enabling its holder to ask for and claim an advantage at Tribal Council.
  • Kristina required an on-site medical check during the swap reveal, then was cleared to continue competing.
  • Episode and aftershow commentary emphasized contrasting player styles and fast-shifting alliances with a merge expected next week.
