Survivor 47 elimination order: Everyone voted out so far
By Bryce Olin
Another episode of Survivor 47, another blindside! That's the vibe again this season on Survivor, and it's very fun to watch!
Heading into the fifth episode on Wednesday, Oct. 16, there are 14 players left in the cast still competing to win Survivor 47.
Through four episodes, the tribes are starting to get their footing, learn what it takes to compete and win these challenges, and develop the relationships crucial to win the game. There's something a little different about this cast, though. We've seen some chill players, but a little more than a week into the game, these players don't like one another very much. It's obviously very early in the game and we haven't seen a lot of strategy yet, but we have seen how the new players are approaching the social and strategic game. We also have four challenges to see how certain players compete. We picked a few players who seem most likely to win Survivor 47.
Throughout the season, we're going to be updating this Survivor 47 elimination order list. Every time a new player is voted out, you can find them and a description of how they were eliminated all season long.
Let's get the list of Survivor 47 players voted out so far!
Jon Lovett
Voted out: First
Jon Lovett was the first person voted out of Survivor 47, which was a shock to pretty much everyone, including Jeff Probst. Jon is the host of Pod Save America, and he's definitely the most famous person in this season of the series. As we pointed out before the season, Jon was featured in every promo for Survivor 47, basically. It looked like he was poised to make a deep run in the game.
That did not happen.
Jon had a tough time connecting with the other players on the Gata tribe, although he did hit things off with Andy Rueda. Then, the first immunity challenge happened. Andy, amid heat exhaustion and an emotional meltdown, revealed that he was going to target Jon once the camp returned to the beach. It took the bull's eye off Andy's back and put it right on Jon's.
Back at camp, Jon tried to make a big move to take out Anika with Andy's help, but the damage was done. Every person on the Gata tribe voted for Jon. The tribe had spoken, and Jon was the first person eliminated from Survivor 47.
Ultimately, it's a bummer that Jon was eliminated so early in the game. Jeff Probst even revealed that he thought Jon was heading for a deep run in the game, but after Andy's meltdown, Jon caught in the middle of a rough situation.
In the new era of Survivor, we know players don't waste votes to get rid of weak or unserious players, and it makes so much sense that the Gata tribe, as Sam mentioned, saw Jon, who is a very smart person, and took the chance to vote him out before he could get his footing in the game.
"This will bring so much joy to my friends and family making fun of me for years," Jon said of being voted out first in his exit interview. "Maybe, in the end, it will be worth it."
TK Foster
Voted out: Second
Surprisingly, TK Foster was voted out second in Survivor 47.
After the season premiere and early in the second episode, "Epic Boss Girl Move," TK looked like he'd found a solid alliance on the Tuku tribe. They'd fared well in three challenges to this point, and he did a great job securing the supplies for his tribe in the face-off against Aysha Welch in the premiere.
Things crumbled for TK immediately after the challenge. He called out his tribe for smiling, which he later apologized for kind of, but his domineering personality, overconfidence, and inability to read the room led to an "epic boss girl move" to take him out.
TK had allied with Kyle Ostwald and Tiyana Hallums and tried to bring in Gabe Ortis to vote out Sue Smey, but Gabe and Tiyana had other plans. After some scrambling, Gabe brought Caroline Vidmar and Sue together to target TK. Tiyana, however, was the deciding vote. She left Kyle in the dark to take out TK.
TK and Kyle voted for Sue while the rest of the tribe voted for TK.
It was a bold move this early in the game. TK was clearly the biggest challenge threat in the game from an athletic perspective. We'll see if the move helps or hurts the Tuku tribe going forward.
Aysha Welch
Voted out: Third
Aysha was the third contestant eliminated on Survivor 47. Tribe Lavo headed to the tribal council in the final moments of the episode and it looked like it would be between Aysha and Sol. Sol knew Rome was lying about his vote, and he told Jeff he thought he might be going home. Rome then ended up playing his idol. When we saw the final results, we learned that Rome, Genevieve, and Sol all voted for Aysha, meaning she was going home.
The reality TV podcaster made an impression from the premiere episode, though her gameplay wasn't as strong as you'd expect from someone who's been watching Survivor for years. It became apparent from early on that she and Rome weren't getting along — though to be fair Rome began ruffling the feathers of the full tribe. She seemed to improve in her gameplay as the challenges continued, but when it came to the politics of the game, Aysha fell short.
While speaking with Entertainment Weekly after her elimination, Aysha said "it was incredibly tough" to be the first person voted off from her tribe.
Kishan Patel
Voted out: Fourth
Kishan Patel started out very strong in the game. I thought he had a great chance to make it to the end. He seemed smart, savvy, and aware of the game going on around him, and he didn't seem like the type to slip up and make an enemy. Unfortunately, that's what happened.
As Rome and Kishan were sharing options, Rome asked for a name to give Sol Yi to convince him to give up his Shot in the Dark. Kishan said Genevieve's name. Later, Kishan and Genevieve decided to target Rome, but Rome slipped up and told Genevieve that they had told Sol they would potentially vote for her if he gave up the Shot in the Dark.
Genevieve grew frustrated by that and told Rome that Kishan had actually planned to blindside him. At tribal council, Rome used his Steal a Vote advantage on Kishan. Teeny had already lost a vote for this tribal, so the only voters were Genevieve, Rome, and Sol. They all voted for Kishan, and Kishan was the fourth player voted out of Survivor 47.
Kishan didn't have hard feelings about his tribe during his interview.
"I got blindsided as simple as it can be," Kishan said. "Some people might have caught wind of what I was doing, which led to my downfall. So, props to them. I respect the move. I respect what they did."
Who can still win Survivor 47
Heading into the fifth episode, there are 14 players who can still win Survivor 47. We shared the list and split it up by tribe.
Gata Tribe
- Andy Rueda
- Sierra Wright
- Rachel LaMont
- Sam Phalen
- Anika Dhar
Of the Gata tribe, Andy is in jeopardy of going home at any moment. The problem is that, if Gata loses again, who will they target? If they vote out Andy, they would clearly be the weakest tribe, physically, with Sam, Anika, Sierra, and Rachel left. I'm hoping we don't have another Yanu situation in Survivor 47!
Tuku Tribe
- Tiyana Hallums
- Kyle Ostwald
- Gabe Ortis
- Sue Smey
- Caroline Vidmar
Tuku made a huge move to vote off TK with at least three or four immunity challenges at least remaining before the pre-merge. It will be very interesting to see if this brings their tribe closer together or causes some more problems.
Lavo Tribe
- Sol Yi
- Teeny Chirichillo
- Genevieve Mushaluk
- Rome Cooney
After back-to-back losses, the Lavo tribe was forced to vote out another player in Survivor 47. After voting out Aysha Welch and Kishan Patel, there are four players left on the Lavo tribe and a lot of friction!
Anyway, that's where things stand heading into the fourth episode of the season. You can watch new episodes of Survivor 47 every Wednesday on CBS and Paramount+!
