Episode 11 of Survivor 50 left us on the edge of our seats as we saw two strong players voted out of the game in yet another double elimination twist. And according to the new synopsis for episode 12, “Inconceivable,” things are only heating up for our players—just one week away from the season finale.
“This week’s immunity challenge is riddled with frustration, putting slow and steady gameplay to the test. As the race to $2M draws closer, idols and advantages come to the forefront. Then, a self proclaimed “rat” at the Manulevu camp spills information in hopes of leading to personal triumph, on SURVIVOR 50…”
Survivor 50 episode 12 may turn the game on its head yet again.
This episode description alone raises so many questions! There’s currently only one advantage left in the game and it’s the Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol Rizo Velovic was gifted fairly early in the season. So it sounds like one of our players might be going on a journey and securing something new to benefit them in the game.
We’ve already seen an extra vote (earned by Ozzy Lusth on Exile Island, given to Cirie Fields), a block-a-vote (won by Savannah Louie on her journey) and a steal-a-vote (won by Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick on her journey), so I don’t anticipate any of those will be repeated for a Final 7 advantage opportunity, on its own. But it’s been a while since we’ve seen the iconic Advantage Menu in Survivor—and considering it was a big part of an Edge of Extinction blindside for Rick Devens, could likely come back for Survivor 50.
Other than that, there are a few advantages that would be extremely deadly for a player to have at this point in the game. A reward steal could be interesting considering our challenge winners keep getting the gift of massive power in the game alongside their immunity. Safety without power could also make a massive impact on the game right now should someone choose to leave their alliance hanging without their vote in order to ensure their safety.
But I personally would love to see the return of the juror removal advantage. The Survivor 50 jury is huge—and still growing—and not everyone is necessarily going to be a great asset to our Final Three. To be able to remove a juror is devious and the best kind of strategic for someone going into the end game.
And I can only guess the “rat” mentioned is Rizo Velovic after he betrayed Ozzy and Cirie in the latest double elimination, helping to blindside the former. Rizo seems like exactly the kind of person who would be proud of the blindside and lean into the chaos—very similar to Devens. Not to mention, we saw him earlier this season performing a Mickey Mouse impression for our castaways, so it seems like the word choice is also purposeful.
From what we know so far, the next episode is going to be just as dynamic as episode 11 was. We can’t wait to see how things unfold for our players!
