Survivor is not playing around this season. After Aysha went home from the Lavo tribe in episode 3, it likely comes as no surprise that once the tribe got back to their beach, Sol had some thoughts about the vote against himself and the fact that his person was voted out. And of course, Rome immediately came back with plans to go after Sol next. It was messy and we expected nothing less.
In the end, Kishan from tribe Lavo was eliminated in episode 4. Here's a breakdown of everything that happened tonight.
Over on the Gata beach, the ladies confirmed that they were in a trio that they were calling the breadwinners because so far they have been the players holding it down for their tribe. And finally, we have Tuku, where Sue was feeling a bit emotional, but was also keeping some secrets from her fellow Survivor players.
However, Sue had even more reasons to feel emotional after coming across a clue that led to an idol. But of course, this is a new era of Survivor. Not only did she have to follow a map in order to get the idol and reclaim her vote, but once she cut the idol out of a tree, the ground was covered in red paint. And it wasn't just the ground that was painted red, as she also ended up covered in the paint after retrieving the idol.
Sue had to do a lot of cleaning up, and it turns out that she didn't get it all off of herself. When Tiyana and Caroline walked up to her at the water well, she not only had a bit of red paint on her chin but also in her hair. And they immediately thought the paint was blood, leaving them concerned about Sue.
It was another idol hunt in episode 4
On the Lavo beach, Rome made it clear to Sol that he shouldn't be searching for idols. He pointed out that looking for an idol added to the target on his back, which upset Sol as he felt like he was being threatened by Rome.
This led to the ridiculousness of Rome babysitting Sol. And Rome would not back off. In fact, he literally wouldn't give the other man any space. It got to a point where you just had to feel bad for Sol because he wasn't given any agency as a person.
Gata has Andy, who ended up losing his shot in the dark out of his bag, which one of the women found and dropped under the bamboo they sleep on. Luckily for him, Sam told him where to find it. And then when speaking to Sierra, he admitted to dropping it again. But in chatting with Andy, she admitted to him about the breadwinners, which he immediately went back to Sam with.
All of this led to a back-and-forth between Sierra and Sam, who were meant to be each other's number one. And yet, Sam had no idea about this "girls alliance." Could this be the end of these two? I guess it depends on how things play out in the immunity challenge.
The immunity challenge
For the challenge today, the teams had to roll a metal cube before retrieving two bags with pieces that form a window frame. The tribes then had to throw bags through the frame that they built, without knocking over their frame. After doing this, they had to move heavy sandbags off of the sand before they dug up a key to get a puzzle, which two players must then had to build.
The first tribe to finish would get three egg-laying hens, while the second team would get six eggs laid by those hens. It was definitely an amazing time to win immunity on Survivor.
Right away the teams were pretty neck and neck grabbing the hanging bags. But after the bag was tossed through the frame, it was Lavo in the lead thanks to Sol. After getting all the sandbags onto the platform, it was essentially a dead heat with everyone digging for their keys.
Again Lavo was first to the puzzle, but the other two teams were right behind them. Sadly for Lavo, they were dead last when it came to building their puzzle and instead, it was Gata in the lead.
Gata ended up winning the first prize and immunity, which meant they ended up with the chickens! Finally, it was Tuku with the second immunity and the eggs, as Rome basically quit working on the puzzle and refused to let anyone try the puzzle for Lavo.
Before leaving the challenge, Jeff revealed there was a journey and Gata got to pick who went. They started by picking Andy from their team, then it was Teeny from Lavo and Caroline from Tuku.
Back at the tribe beaches
Gata winning the hens was exciting for them. And when they got back to their camp, it was all about discussing what to do with these chickens. They even talked about killing one and cooking it.
Over on Lavo, it was another disaster. Rome was going after Sol hardcore. And that led to him basically threatening Sol and telling him if he didn't hand over his shot in the dark, he would use his steal a vote on him and send him home.
At this point, Rome was running this tribe. People were seeing it and it sounded like they wanted to put a stop to it. Would it be Rome or Sol going home after the tribal council? At this point, it was anyone's game.
The after immunity journey
Over on the journey beach Andy, Caroline, and Teeny got to know each other. They shared some details about their tribes. Teeny told the other two about Sol and Rome going head-to-head and they all agreed to work with each other in the future.
Then it was time for their journey, where the trio had to turn over a sand timer and then read a note. The three had to agree on one person losing a vote at the next tribal so all of them got an advantage. And if they couldn't decide, they would all lose a vote.
In the end, Teeny gave up her vote. So what did all three get? All three of them got an Amulet idol, but they didn't work until they all made it to the merge. They all had to agree on who it was being used on. So if all three Amulet Idols are in play, all three would have to agree. If there are two in play, both players would have to agree, and if there is only one left, it would be a full idol.
Upon returning to their respective beaches, the three people who went off on their journey shared their stories. Caroline revealed everything to her tribe. Andy did the same thing. Teeny revealed that she lost her vote, but she told her alliance what really happened leading to her losing her voice.
The tribal vote
Before heading to tribal, Genevieve revealed to Rome that Kishan was gunning for him and not Sol. She wanted them to flip on Kishan, so she went to Sol as well and told him they needed to flip on Kishan, but he didn't want to do that. Even after Rome sort of apologized, Sol didn't really want to work with the other man.
Where did that leave things for this vote? Messy! It left things messy. And that reflected in the tribal conversation because people weren't being honest. Rome made it clear that he held a lot of the cards.
Right before everyone got to head up to vote, Rome stole Kishan's vote. And that changed everything.
Kishan was the fourth person voted out of Survivor 47
Before leaving, Kishan told Genevieve that he trusted "us three." It was clear that he felt completely betrayed.
While Sol and Rome may not get along in this game, it is clear that at least for this vote, they were willing to work together.
