Survivor Game Changers: Michaela Bradshaw hints at ‘wack’ elimination
With five players set to leave the tribe ahead of the Survivor Game Changers season finale, Michaela Bradshaw hints at one crazy tribal in particular.
I’m not sure about you, but the post-merge half of Survivor Game Changers hasn’t been as entertaining as the first half. Some of the most entertaining players on the show went home before we got to see their shenanigans at Survivor Ponderosa, leaving us with quiet, contemplative exits and a cast that has just one (or maybe two) legends remaining.
That said, we’ve been getting some of the best insight into the season that current castaways have ever produced in no small part thanks to Michaela Bradshaw. Each week, she’s been providing her perspective of Survivor Game Changers episode as they’ve come by in a series called “Tea With Michaela B,” with the most recent talking about the Sierra Dawn Thomas boot. She also hints at something that could possibly make the second half more exciting than it has been so far.
Being an emotional episode, she rightly focuses on her mother’s anticipated trip to Fiji and the disappointment she had when Michaela couldn’t provide it for her in Millennials vs. Gen X. There is a lot of great tidbits of information that I’d rather you hear from Michaela herself, but one brief stinger at the end hints at a “wack” elimination that occurs before the end of the season.
At the 14:37 mark, Michaela Bradshaw insists, “You don’t want to miss any eliminations from this point forward. There may be one wack one… but… from now until the end of the game, you’ll be like,” before offering a shocked “what?” expression.

This could be hinting at a couple of things. My colleague did some poking around into the preview for next week’s Survivor Game Changers episode, noting that it could be setting up Michaela Bradshaw’s own elimination. With Michaela trying to get Brad to vote along with her, Cirie Fields may be going behind her back to get her voted out.
While that’s a possibility within the context of this week’s episode, I’m not sure that the “wack” elimination Michaela refers to would be her own. I think that it could be based on an “Advantagegedon” that former Survivor player (and current Survivor podcaster) Rob Cesternino hinted at in the Know-It-Alls Toronto live recap of last week’s episode.

Think of it this way; since Michaela is, at the least, in the jury, she will have seen all eliminations filmed for this season. Even if she isn’t subject to a rough elimination, at the Final 6 Tribal Council, there is the possibility of three Hidden Immunity Idols, the Immunity Necklace, and the Legacy Advantage coming into play all at once. By process of elimination (no pun intended), this would force one player to be eliminated without the chance to even vote.
Not only would that be extremely “wack,” but would allow both my colleague and I to be correct at the same time. For the first time in a while, though, I would hate to be right in a hypothesis, as it would explain why we’ve been seeing some rough edits per the Survivor edgic this season.

Survivor Game Changers episode 13, “Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow,” airs tomorrow night at 8 p.m. ET. We’ll have to see if the wack elimination comes into play this week or not.
