With so many twists in Survivor: Game Changers, let’s break down what advantages are still in the game and where the alliance lines roughly fall.

Survivor: Game Changers continues this week with its eleventh episode, but, at this point, keeping up with everything may be rather difficult. Even yours truly has to look back to see who has which advantage (and when it can be used). Unless they’re found or about to be played, the show doesn’t always talk about them. Alliances may seem a bit more straightforward, but considering that this week’s episode has the name of “Reinventing How This Game Is Played,” well, it might be nice to know how things stand.

Secret Advantages

Hidden Immunity Idols: Tai currently holds two Hidden Immunity Idols, while Troyzan has one.

Vote Steal: Sarah obtained the vote steal secret advantage in episode 10 right out from under Michaela’s nose. She can use it until the final five Tribal Council. It permits her to take another person’s vote. Basically, it’s an opportunity to act as two votes for her alliance. That’s both in the sense of adding an extra vote but also in the sense of negating a vote from the opposing alliance.

Legacy Advantage: Sierra has the opportunity to have immunity at the final six Tribal Council with her Legacy Advantage. Should she be voted out between now and then, she will have to give it to someone else.

With all three of these in mind, it is perfectly possible that the final six Tribal Council will be a trainwreck. It could result in four players being immune, counting individual immunity, while Sarah could steal one of the two non-immune people’s votes.

Alliances

Debbie’s “Strong Six” that she spoke of right before her elimination consists of Sierra, Brad, Tai, Troyzan, and Sarah of the players remaining in the game. However, at this point it appears to be more like a foursome. Sarah flipped to vote Debbie out.

Speaking of, Sarah also has connections to Andrea, Cirie, and Michaela. The latter two in particular are quite close. That leaves Zeke and Aubry in the middle, relatively speaking. Although both of them worked together with the other four, Zeke in particular doesn’t like working with Andrea and might not do it again. Aubry has also voted with Brad and Sierra’s group before. For example, she did so to eliminate Hali.

In other words, there’s no guarantee that Brad and Sierra’s foursome can necessarily hold together. However, it seems more cohesive than the other six players remaining in the game aside from the Cirie-Michaela-Andrea connection.
