Survivor 49 is getting pretty close to the merge after episode 4, but after a summer of rumors about the Survivor 49 winner, fans already think they know who makes the Final Three in the new season.
It's tradition on Survivor for the jury members, also known as those who made the merge, and the finalists to sign the giant Survivor 49 logo at Tribal Council after the votes are read. Well, that's where this spoiler comes from.
According to Entertainment Now, there was an Instagram post from someone close to Survivor posted on a Reddit thread. It appears that the Final Three of Survivor 49, as well as the jury's names, are on that giant logo.
Possible spoilers ahead for Survivor 49!
Who makes the Final Three on Survivor 49?
So far, Survivor 49 has been a battle of the Uli tribe vs. the Hina tribe with a lot of focus on the Kele tribe, who was picked off one-by-one by losing challenges and snake bites. Then, we had the tribe swap, which completely changed the game.
Based on the latest spoilers, it seems like the Uli tribe, and the new Hina tribe comes out on top of this battle. On the poster, it looks like Rizo Velovic, Savannah Louie, and Sophi Balerdi are the Final Three. Their names are encircled by a heart, while the rest of the names are not. So, the general consensus is that those three players are the Final Three of this season.
Here's who makes the merge based on the names on the logo:
- MC Chukwujekwu
- Steven Ramm
- Sophie Segreti
- Nate Moore
- Jawan Pitts
- Kristina Mills
- Sage Ahrens-Nichols
- Alex Moore
- Rizo Velovic
- Savannah Louie
- Sophi Balerdi
It makes a lot of sense that two players with "S" names make it to the Final Three given there are so many players with "S" names still in the game.
Looking at the edit of this season, we always get to spend a lot of time earlier in the season with the players who go far in the game. We spent a lot of time in Survivor 48 with Kyle Fraser, Joe Hunter, Eva Erickson, and Kamilla Karthigesu. The game drifted away from them at times, but it always came back to those four players.
I have a feeling with how much Rizo, Savannah, and Sophi to be central to the action early in the season that they will be the Final Three in Survivor 49, but we'll just have to see how it shakes out.
Survivor 49 winner rumors also back up this spoiler
There have also been rumors for months about the Survivor 49 winner, and that's all because of the Survivor 50 cast.
Long story short, there are two Survivor 49 players who made the Survivor 50 cast. We know those players are going to be Rizo and Savannah. We also know there are likely three new era winners joining the Survivor 50 cast, thanks to fan speculation and a recent revelation. So, if you believe the rumors, you know that the winner is either Rizo or Savannah. The Survivor 50 tribes, which has also been reported, put Savannah on a different tribe than the former winners, Dee Valladares and Kyle Fraser, while Rizo is on the same tribe as Kyle.
In other words, everyone who believes these rumors thinks that Savannah is the winner of Survivor 49.
We haven't heard that in any official capacity. This whole ordeal could be a total fake out, but there's a lot of smoke here for no fire, you know?
