Rome gets cocky and a new alliance forms in Survivor 47 episode 4 sneak peek

Survivor 47 is getting good, and the sneak peeks at each episode keep getting better!

CBS just shared a new sneak peek -- TWO, in fact -- from Survivor 47 episode 4, titled "Is That Blood in You Hair." And, things continue to be dramatic with the Gata and Lavo tribes. At the center of it for Lavo, Rome Cooney is feeling like he's in control of the game. For the Gata tribe, it looks like a new alliance is forming after some recent feuds on the beach.

Rome is in control at Lavo after voting out Aysha

In the first sneak peek, Rome Cooney is feeling good after voting out Aysha Welch in the third episode. He mentions to Kishan Patel and Genevieve Mushulak, who are in his alliance along with Teeny Chirichillo, that they didn't even have to use the Steal-a-Vote advantage that he found in the last episode to eliminate Aysha.

Then, he gets kind of mean, honestly.

"Tonight, tribal council went exactly how I wanted it to go," Rome says in an in-the-moment interview. "Aysha went home. Sol messed up, and now, he knows he's on the bottom. And, Rome ended up prevailing, baby."

It's a little braggy, given that this is Rome's first tribal council, but I'm sure it feels amazing to be in control of the game, so to speak, after a thrilling tribal council that was actually a pretty straightforward vote for Aysha while leaving Sol Yi in the dark.

There's a clear four at Lavo with Rome, Kishan, Genevieve, and Teeny, but the kicker is I don't think anyone actually likes Rome, and the knives are about to come out, I fear.

Rome, then, tells his tribe that using the Steal-a-Vote advantage they can make sure Sol can't play his Shot in the Dark at tribal council.

"I mean, I can guarantee Sol doesn't play his Shot in the Dark, if we want," Rome says to his alliance. "We can just tell him he's going home and, like, he can't do nothing about it."

Kishan makes a very good point, though. "As long as he does not get an idol."

Is that some foreshadow for episode 4? We'll have to wait to find out!

Seeing this sneak peek, it basically tells you everything you need to know about what's going to happen next for the Lavo tribe. And, it's none of what Rome just said is going to happen. This is Survivor! They do not give moves away in sneak peeks, so unless this is the misdirection of all misdirections, this is going to result in someone else in the Lavo tribe going home in the near future. And, it's probably not going to Sol!

Anika, Sierra, and Rachel solidify a new alliance at Gata

Over at the Gata camp, things have been far from smooth sailing through three episodes, but they're winning challenges, which is what matters right now. After some friction in the last two episodes, the alliance of four, which included Sam Phalen, Rachel LaMont, Anika Dhar, and Sierra Wright, might now be an alliance of three.

In the second sneak peek, Anika, Sierra, and Rachel discuss plans to form a new alliance, effectively cutting out Sam after his latest antics have rubbed some of them the wrong way. And, they have a new name for themselves: The Breadwinners.

Iconic.

"When it comes to camp life and challenges, the three girls here truly been the powerhouses of this tribe," Anika says in an in-the-moment interview. "And so, we call ourselves the Breadwinner Alliance."

While swimming later in the episode, the trio solidifies the alliance. Rachel, then, shares how she feels her game is going after forming a strong alliance with Anika and Sierra.

"I feel like my game is going as well as I hoped it could be right now," Rachel says.

Famous last words for Rachel? I don't think so. Not yet, but it's going to be very interesting to watch this alliance. Of the alliances formed so far, it feels like this one feels a little bit more personal than the others from what we've seen. That could be a good thing or a bad thing, but it's going to be a while until we fully understand what it is.

Survivor 47 episode 4 airs on Wednesday, Oct. 9, only on CBS and Paramount+!
