We have only three episodes left from Survivor 47, and just seven castaways remain. It's time for the remaining seven castaways to make game-winning moves on this week's Survivor 47 episode 12, "Operation: Italy".
Last week saw a straightforward elimination as Kyle Ostwald was voted out after failing to win individual immunity. Without the shot-in-the-dark and a hidden immunity idol, the tribal council was fairly straightforward. Is this the week the game gets shaken up again?
Is Survivor 47 on tonight?
Yes, a new episode of Survivor 47 drops tonight on Wednesday, Dec. 4. This will be the final regular episode before a new format, a two-part finale airs on December 11 and 18.
You can watch Survivor 47 episode 12, "Operation: Italy," at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Survivor 47 episode 12 preview
The Next Time On Survivor video preview teased an all-girl alliance featuring Caroline Vidmar, Christine "Teeny" Chirichillo, Rachel LaMont, and Sue Smey as the final four. Can they actually pull it off?
The video then shows Sam and Genevieve Mushaluk plotting a move, first stating that Andy is 'the straw that stirs the drink', but subsequently also pulling Andy in to either reveal their plan or to deceive him. Andy appears to be excited with the plan, saying "This is the biggest heist of Survivor!"
The official synposis from CBS also revealed the reward for this episode will be the letters from home.
“Operation: Italy” – Castaways get the biggest reward of the season with surprise letters from home. Then, balance and dexterity are tested at a crucial immunity challenge to guarantee a spot in the final six."
What does the sneak peek segments reveal?
In a sneak peek, Sam Phelan speaks fresh off the tribal council. Sam acknowledged he would have preferred to keep Kyle in the game. He calls the majority alliance 'the posse of five', and they are picking off the big threats. He also knows that he has the odds stacked against him, but vows to continue the fight.
In another sneak peek, we explore the dynamic between Caroline and Sue. Caroline wonders if Sue sees her daughter in Caroline. Sue admits to Caroline, "I'm proud of you. Your personal skills are just blowing my mind. I'm so impressed by you." Caroline also admits that they have everything they need to make it to the end.
In a hilarious ending to the sneak peek, they show footage of Sue crawling and getting dirtier with each passing day, but then turns to Caroline, and with a dirt-caked face, say "You got to wipe, you have dirt on your face".
Who is in danger in Survivor 47 episode 12?
It is easy to assume that Sam and Genevieve will be easy targets for the next tribal council, with the majority alliance of five staying strong. With Kyle out of the game, Sam needs to step up and win individual immunity to protect himself.
Andy, Sue and Teeny should be safe, as they appear to pose little threat to win the million dollars. The rest of the remaining tribemates probably consider them 'a goat', someone you bring to the final tribal council because they pose little threat to actually winning.
At some point, we should get a showdown between Caroline and Rachel. We shall see if it happens in this episode or if we go through another episode brewing for this epic showdown.
We'll see what happens tonight on Survivor 47 episode 12, which airs on Wednesday, Dec. 4!
