Survivor Game Changers Episode 1 Sandra Troyzan Hali
CBS (Screengrab via Global TV) /

Sandra, Troyzan, Varner, Hali…Michaela?

As part of the Tony vs. Sandra shenanigans, the Mana tribe starts to segment itself into sortments of alliances. Tony started out wanting to grab a “Threats Alliance” of Tony, Aubry, Malcolm, Caleb, and Sandra. Of course, we all know how that fell apart, as Sandra brought together Troyzan, Varner, Hali, and Michaela into the fold.

Michaela’s the most iffy player in on this alliance, mostly because she doesn’t think Sandra brings much physically to the tribe. They’re both contrasting characters, and she, I, you, and the world get that, but she’s willing to look past it so that she doesn’t rock the boat.

However, with the upcoming tribe swap confirmed in the Survivor Game Changers Episode 3 preview, things are bound to change. The Nuku Tribe will be composed of Sandra, Aubry, Varner, Michaela, Malcolm, and J.T., with the latter obviously on the outs. That’s probably why he has them out in the ocean as he searches for the idol!

This composition does present some voting bloc switching opportunities, however, as Sandra may opt to side with J.T. in order to make her “winners at final tribal council” strategy work the best. Additionally, Michaela, Aubry, and Malcolm may pair up in order to keep strong and strategy going forward, ditching the seasoned, slower players in successive order.
