In tonight’s Survivor episode, Sage was on the warpath. The stronger alliance got rid of her number one. Jawan was eliminated last tribal after Savannah used her extra vote to vote him out.

Remember, Jawan had lied to her face. He told her the target that week was someone else. He swore that it was Steven all the while he knew Sage wanted to oust Savannah. Sage campaigned for it. She pushed for it. She told everyone that Savannah was the biggest threat and in return Savannah’s alliance screwed up her game. They left Sage with no one.

Steven and Kristina have each other. Sometimes foolishly so. Sophie chose a side and it wasn’t Sage’s. She joined Soph, Rizo, and Savannah in creating a powerful alliance that could annihilate the others if they didn’t start winning challenges.

What they did was also a big resume builder for the finale. They were the ones that blindsided Jawan after all and that was going to count at the end when people question everything they did to get there. The final tribal was full of people who always hate the fence-sitters for some reason.

Like that’s not a talent when done properly.

They tend to ask “what moves you made in the game”? Well, here was a big move. It would’ve been a big move as well if Sage’s plan had actually worked. Sage was doubly angry tonight and she couldn’t hide it. She lashed out at Sophie back at the beach. Sophie approached her because she thought she should clear the air.

It backfired on her because Sage didn’t care what she had to say. Sage’s game just got blown up and so the last thing she wanted to hear was that Sophie did the best for her own game.

Jawan was a huge threat. He ran the last few eliminations. He as a great social player. Sophie wouldn’t have won if it came down to the two of them. It was the honest truth and Sage didn’t care.

Sage wrote down Savannah’s name. She was afraid of reprisal. What Soph offered was a collab. Soph was the bottom of the trio with her Savannah and Rizo. She knew it. She was going to have to turn on one of them eventually and she was prepared to get Savannah out. She wanted to start making moves.

She just chose the wrong person to work with. Sage was an emotional player. She saw Yellow Sophie’s big smile when Jawan’s name rang out. She now wants to get rid of her and she wasn’t too trusting of Soph because she’s seen how close she is with the other two. Soph’s big game play was dead before it ever got off the ground.

Then there was a ship that came along. It offered a strenuous activity for a possible advantage. No one wanted to go. They wanted to save their energy for the Immunity Challenge.

It ended up being Steven who went. He could win an advantage or he could lose a vote. It depends on the task. The task ended up being more strenuous than Steven realized.

He found himself running around the entire perimeter of an island just to see numbers at each stop. He has to memorize those numbers if he wanted to unlock a treasure chest before high tide comes in. Steven was so tired yet he really did need this because he wasn’t like Soph. He wasn’t the bottom of a powerful trio. He was at the bottom of the entire group.

Steven was an easy voice. When Soph didn’t get anywhere with Sage, she went to Sophie. Soph and Sophie spoke about the vote. They were hoping to oust Steven before they made a move against Savannah. Only it too depended on the advantage task. Steven winning would ensure they’d go after Savannah first.

Sophie wasn’t like Soph. She really wanted to stay under the radar before making another big move. Steven then comes back. He confessed to the task. He went as far to admit that he won an advantage. He just didn’t say what kind of advantage.
