Survivor 49 episode 4's tribe swap caused a little chaos for Uli's core four when three members of the alliance—Savannah Louie, Nate Moore, and Rizo Velovic—moved over to the new Hina tribe with Uli outsider Jawan Pitts, leaving the fourth ally Shannon Fairweather in the minority of the new Kele tribe with Sage Ahren-Nichols.
While Jawan had the opportunity to go against the grain and try something daring when Matt Williams approached him about blindsiding Nate, he kept his loyalty on red and helped send Matt home.
But Jawan has been on the bottom of Uli since the beginning, working hard to gain favor with his tribe, but always falling short whether he knows it or not. And unfortunately, it doesn't seem like his status on the bottom is going to change any time soon thanks to a sneak peek clip from episode 5, "I'm a Wolf, Baby" featuring yet another blunder. Watch below.
The scene starts off with Savannah announcing she can't find her water bottle only for Jawan's face to immediately change as he realizes he took her bottle instead of his own. This marks the second time that Jawan has "accidentally" used one of Savannah's personal items as his own, after he took her bag and filled it up halfway with firewood before realizing it had all her clean clothes in it.
They continue to laugh about the multiple oversights at camp, but a confessional shows Savannah doesn't think it's funny—it's frustrating that it's always her stuff he grabs.
Even through the smiles and laughter, the two non-original Uli members at camp are listening in as if they either don't believe it's not targeted behavior on Jawan's side or that Savannah isn't as okay with it as she plays off—or both.
While Sophi Balerdi is already in with the Uli core alliance, this could be a chance for Jason Treul to drill into this crack and make sure he's not on the bottom of the new Hina tribe. If he presses this button just right and set up a perfect situation where Jawan accidentally takes something from Savannah again then it could be game over for the original Uli member and provide Jason a second life.
Even if he doesn't take the scheming that far, something as simple as rubbing salt in the wound through conversation can be very effective. If Jason can make Savannah think of her metaphorical bug bites enough that she's constantly itching them, then maybe she'll want to vote out the mosquito in her face over the snake in the bush.
If new Hina loses again, it could be the end for Jawan, but we'll have to wait until the new episode airs this Wednesday at 8pm ET on CBS and Paramount+ to find out what our player's fates are this week!
