There's a new episode of Survivor 47 this week. Based on what we've seen so far, it looks like it's going to be another intense episode to start this season of the series. I have a really good feeling about this cast!
Thanks to CBS, we've already seen the preview for Survivor 47 episode 2, "Epic Boss Girl Move," along with two sneak peeks at the Gata and Lavo tribes. We also shared when you can watch Survivor 47 episode 2 and what we expect to see in the new episode.
What time is Survivor 47 episode 2 on tonight?
You can watch Survivor 47 episode 2, "Epic Boss Girl Move," at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. C on Sept. 25 on CBS and Paramount+. Unfortunately, those on the West Coast (me, ugh!) have to wait three hours after the East Coast premiere to watch the new episode at 8 p.m. PT on CBS and Paramount+. You don't know how good you have it, East Coast Survivor fans!
Originally, there was some chatter that this episode could be moved if there was a second Presidential debate, but that's not happening.
Survivor 47 episode 2 preview
There are three clips or teasers for Survivor 47 episode 2 that we've seen so far! We don't expect to see any more this close to the episode. We got the first look at the new episode at the end of the season premiere, which you can watch here. It has not been released publicly.
In the preview for "Epic Boss Girl Move," we see several clips that we saw in the two other sneak peeks. Things are not going well for Andy Rueda at the Gata tribe or Rome Cooney at the Lavo tribe.
After a few clips of Andy at the Gata camp, Anika Dhar says, "With Andy, it's giving toxic, clingy boyfriend." Yikes! That's about as bad as you can imagine this early in the game. After uniting to vote out Jon Lovett in the premiere, things seem to be a little rocky for the Gata tribe.
The clip ends with Andy revealing some super secret information to Sam Phalen.
"I was not ready for the bomb that Andy was about to drop," Sam says in a confessional.
Over at the Lavo tribe, someone, possibly Sol Yi, says, "Rome is a lot" as Rome dances in the background at camp. We saw in the first episode that Rome was up to no good with his tribe. He seems like he's definitely danger of getting voted out, along with Andy. Those would be the two players on the chopping block heading into episode 2.
It's not all fun and games at the Tuku tribe, either. We see Tiyana Hallums reveal to Sue Smey that someone called them "all losers." Then, it cuts to Gabe Ortis as Sue says, "The rage on her face? That put the nail in the coffin."
What a great 30-second teaser!
Then, on Monday, Survivor shared two sneak peeks. The first focuses on the Gata tribe and shares a little more context about Anika's comment about Andy. Basically, Rachel LaMont, Sam, and Anika reveal that they are trying to keep Andy happy until they make the move to vote him out. At this point, they still need him for challenges, and that means putting up with some of his weird quirks and antics.
"Like, Andy wants something from us. He wants connection. He wants to feel included," Rachel says in a confessional. "And, we want something from him. We want him to be in a good mindset. We want him to perform in challenges, but we also want him to be the easy boot."
In the second sneak peek, we see Rome trying to make fire for a long time as Kishan Patel shares some of the issues that he's having with Rome and how he's playing the game. Again, they have only been there for a few days at this point, so there's definitely trouble brewing.
"He wants to make the fire. He wants to be the one finding the idol. He loves the big, flashy moves," Kishan reveals in the clip. "My strategy is completely the opposite of that."
Again, it doesn't look likes there's an immediate fire in either situation, but there sure is a lot of smoke!
What to expect in Survivor 47 episode 2
Based on what we've seen so far, Andy, Rome, and Gabe are likely in danger of going home this week, but it's early! It could be a misdirection. We know that Gabe has an advantage. Rome is close to finding the hidden immunity idol, and it's sending up alarm bells for the rest of his tribe.
Speaking of alarm bells, Andy reveals some kind of crazy information to Sam in that first preview. Andy is a smart player. Like, he had a rough challenge and couldn't keep the emotions from spilling over and influencing the game, but he seems to know or recognize parts of the game. He knows that he's on the bottom, and we know that he is impatient. So, he's going to try to make a move to insert himself in what seems like a pretty strong alliance for the Gata tribe.
On the Lavo tribe, Rome seems to be the odd one out right now, but again, he could have an idol, as well. That's definitely something to keep an eye on in this episode and beyond, assuming he is not voted out.
The Tuku tribe is the most interesting to me because we haven't seen a lot of them. Survivor doesn't like to give any big moments with these previews and sneak peeks. The fact that they were the tribe left out makes me wonder if this is going to be a big episode for their tribe. Whoever said that they're "losers" better watch their back because Tiyana and Sue do not seem like two people who you want to insult.
We could see the first big move of the game to take out TK Foster, Kyle Ostwald, or Gabe. Tiyana, Sue, and Caroline could easily pull one of those guys into an alliance of four to make a huge move taking out one of the stronger men on this season or sending someone home with an idol.
We'll see what happens in Survivor 47 episode 2 on Wednesday, Sept. 25! Stay tuned for more news about the new season of the series.
