There are only eight players left in Survivor 49 competing for the $1 million prize and title of Sole Survivor. Since the season premiere on Wednesday, Sept. 24, we've seen nine players of the 18 new players voted out or pulled from the game.
We reached the merge seven episodes into the season. Now, we know the first two members of the jury, and it's absolutely not the players who I thought would be getting voted out this early in the game. Episode 8, "Hot Grim Reaper," featured an even more shocking twist that featured a small group voting out one player, while the challenge winners— for the most part— remained back at the camp.
If you want to know the complete elimination order for Survivor 49, we have you covered! We shared all the players voted out so far, along with a short description of what went wrong for their games. So far, it's been pretty obvious what went wrong, but I have a feeling this season is just about to get started.
Let's get the Survivor 49 elimination order started with the first player voted out of the game, Nicole Mazullo.
Nicole Mazullo
Voted out: First (Kele)
Nicole Mazullo was unfortunately the dreaded first boot of the season. After losing the Marooning challenge and Alex Moore failing to beat Rizo Velovic during the one-on-one battle for supplies on the first day in the game, the Kele tribe really struggled. Nicole found herself on the outside of the four player majority alliance of Jake Latimer, Sophi Balerdi, Jeremiah Ing, and Alex.
After losing the immunity challenge, the alliance identified Nicole as one of the weaker players in the challenge, so they wanted to vote her out to have a better chance to win immunity challenges going forward. Then, the vote seemed to turn toward Annie Davis after she started getting a little too far ahead of herself with some move-making. Eventually, the vote swung back to Nicole, and she was voted out.
Annie Davis
Voted out: Second (Kele)
After barely skirting by in the season premiere, Annie Davis was voted out of Survivor 49 in the second episode of the season, "Cinema."
Again, Kele lost a huge lead to lose the immunity challenge to the Hina and Uli tribe despite the Hina tribe getting gifted with a disadvantage. It's no surprise that Annie was targeted with the second vote of the season. She was probably the weakest of the remaining Kele tribe, and she started to rub some of the players the wrong way during the episode by trying to take more of a leadership position on the tribe.
Still, there was some conversations, but Kele decided to keep the tribe as strong as possible heading into the third episode.
Jake Latimer
Medically Evacuated on Day 6
Although the Kele tribe has yet to win, Jake Latimer was playing a great social game, and he seemed quite insulated because of his physical strength. There was no one in the game close to him in that department.
Unfortunately, Jake Latimer was the third player to leave Survivor 49 after he was bitten by the highly venomous sea snake, the sea krait. Luckily, Jake was okay, but doctors needed to observe Jake to make sure that he didn’t have any venom. He also went through a lot during the evaluation process, and they decided they couldn’t send Jake back into the game after going through something so serious. This is one of the most shocking decisions in Survivor history.
Based on his social media activity, Jake appears to have made a full recovery.
Jeremiah Ing
Voted out: Fourth
Although a fellow Kele tribe member was pulled from the game, the Kele tribe lost the immunity challenge, the third straight immunity loss, and Jeremiah was the odd person out. Alex Moore and Sophi Balerdi teamed up to vote out Jeremiah.
It’s such a bummer to see Jeremiah go. Two Canadians were eliminated in episode 3, and that just doesn’t feel right. Sadly, the Kele tribe still hasn’t won immunity, and now, production has to make some big decisions about a possible tribe swap.
Matt Williams
Voted out: Fifth
Matt Williams was looking great in Survivor 49, until he wasn't. He was on a great tribe, peforming well in challenges, and forming some good connections. Unfortunately, the tribe swap happened earlier than expected, and Matt ended up on the new Hina tribe four former Uli players. Matt's alliance was on the other tribe, and he was without real allies for the first time in the game.
Matt tried to play hard and pull in Jawan Pitts, Sophi Balerdi, and Jason Treul, but Sophi and Jawan stuck with Savannah Louie and Nate Moore to vote out Matt.
It's a bummer was eliminated at this part of the game because, while he might have been out of his element, he seemed like he could perform well in challenges. He was a real threat to go far in the game.
Jason Treul
Voted out: Sixth
Jason Treul was voted out of Survivor 49 in episode 5. After Jason ended up with four former Uli players and a charismatic player like Sophi Balerdi, Jason knew he was in trouble, just like Matt Williams. After Matt was sent home in episode 4, Jason knew his days were numbered. He tried to wiggle his way out, but the former Uli tribe was not ready to turn on one of their own just yet. And, Jason became the sixth player eliminated from Survivor 49.
Shannon Fairweather
Voted out: Seventh
Shannon was always in trouble after the latest tribe swap, but she truly had no idea, at least that’s what it seemed like anyway. Shannon thought that she had worked everyone over to be on her side, but they saw through her posturing. She’s the perfect example of someone playing just a little bit too hard too early to raise some eyebrows.
In the end, Jawan Pitts and Sage Ahrens-Nichols teamed up with Steven Ramm to vote our the original Uli player. Now, the numbers are a little bit more even heading into the merge in episode 7!
Nate Moore
- Voted out: Eighth
- Jury: Yes, first member
Nate Moore was voted out in the seventh episode of Survivor 49. He was the eighth player eliminated, but he is the first member of the jury! He will have a say in who wins Survivor 49, and that's really cool, as Nate mentioned in his exit interview.
Nate is the second backstab of the season, and second in a row, after fellow Uli members Sage Ahrens-Nichols and Jawan Pitts turned on Nate just one vote after turning on Shannon.
Michelle "MC" Chukwujekwu
- Voted out: Ninth
- Jury: Yes, second member
MC Chukwujekwu made a few mistakes in the last two episodes that came back to haunt her. After finding a hidden immunity idol that everyone knew about thanks to Savannah Louie's persistence, MC played that idol one vote too soon. She should have tried to hang on to that idol, but she didn't want to go home with an idol in her pocket.
Then, in episode 8, there was a clear plan in place to flush Rizo Velovic's immunity idol and possibly send him home, but MC told Jawan Pitts about the plan, which blew it up. Had she not told him, she could have survived another vote.
It's a bummer because MC had the tools to put together a deep run with the right lineup of immunity challenges. She honestly could have won a bunch of them.
Who is left in Survivor 49?
While it's bad news for Nicole, Annie, Jeremiah, Jake, Matt, the good news for the rest of that cast is they can still win Survivor 49. (Well, not actually, of course. The Survivor 49 winner was announced to the players out in Fiji last summer, obviously).
After eight great episodes, there are nine players still alive to win Survivor 49:
- Alex Moore
- Savannah Louie
- Jawan Pitts
- Rizo Velovic
- Sophie Segreti
- Steven Ramm
- Sophi Balerdi
- Kristina Mills
- Sage Ahrens-Nichols
One of those players will win Survivor 49! We'll find out who sometime in December. Until then, we'll be updating this list to make sure you know who has been voted out of Survivor 49 and who is still alive to win the season, title of Sole Survivor, and $1 million!
