A Major Blindside Sets the Tone for ‘Survivor 48’ Ahead of Episode 3

The New Era of Survivor has proven that playing hard too soon can lead to an exit far too early. Such is the case from our last episode of Survivor 48. As one tribe continues to dominate as the worst of the season, a strong player found himself out of the game by mismanaging and misreading his allies’ emotions and morals. Meanwhile, Survivor continues to build up brilliant characters and their backstories, making this season quite strong.

Hosted by Jeff Probst, Survivor has been entertaining audiences since 2000. A group of castaways fight to outwit, outplay, and outlast in hopes of winning the million-dollar prize and the title of Sole Survivor. Now in its 48th triumphant season, Survivor is back to building a community in the islands of Fiji.

Who Went On the Journey On Episode 2 of ‘Survivor 48?’

When a boat arrives at the beach, you know a Journey is ahead. Each tribe was tasked to send one player for a Journey, but unlike other seasons, each tribe had to play a number game of chance to determine the tribute. While every other tribe seemed to play without a hitch, Vula had some tension when the practice round would have sent Sai Hughley, but the actual game gave Mary Zheng the chance for the journey. Sai was furious as she believed the worst possible person to potentially earn an advantage was Mary. Nevertheless, Mary joined Mitch Guerra from Civa and Thomas Krottinger from Lagi on a journey.

After each player officially met, they went down their own path where they were faced with a timed puzzle. Numbers from 1-15 were shuffled in three rows. Players must shift numbers one at a time to put the numbers in numerical order. If they succeed, they would earn an advantage. If time runs out, they would lose their vote. Unfortunately for Mary, she lost her vote as she did not complete the puzzle. Both Mitch and Thomas were successful, earning different advantages. Mitch won a Block A Vote while Thomas won a Steal A Vote.

Did Anyone Find Any Hidden Immunity Idols Or Advantages On Episode 2 of ‘Survivor 48?’

With Sai previously in possession of the Vula Hidden Immunity Idol, castaways from both Lagi and Civa were hungry to retrieve there’s. Star Toomey, who was feeling at the bottom of her tribe, went on a hunt for an advantage in hopes of leverage in the game. She found the Beware Advantage where a locked cryptogram puzzle prevented her from earning the idol. For her to crack her code, she must use a guide and place them next to the symbols placed in the jungle that would reveal the necessary letters. Unable to decipher the puzzle, she enlisted help from essentially everyone sans Eva Erickson. Shauhin Davari was willing to help but pondered whether to reveal the truth. Meanwhile, Thomas’ had a similar plan, instead thinking it would be best to sabotage Star and hide the guide, preventing anyone from solving the puzzle. The true colors were exposed! At this point in time, Star has not solved the puzzle and currently has no vote at the next Tribal Council.

As we watched on Episode 1, David Kinne had preemptively found the necessary clues for the Civa Hidden Immunity Idol but had yet to locate the Beware Advantage just yet. Fearful of rising power between Mitch and Charity Nelms, David enlisted the rest of his tribe to search for the advantage. While it was David who figured out the symbols, it was Kyle Fraser who ended up snagging the Beware Advantage. With very little fanfare, Kamilla Karthigesu cracked the code swiftly, earning Kyle a Hidden Immunity Idol.

Who Won Immunity On Episode 2 of ‘Survivor 48?’

For this week’s Immunity Challenge, each tribe started at the base of a floating platform where one castaway must climb up a ladder, leap off, and release two buoys located underneath a platform. Then in pairs of two, the remaining castaways must transport buoys over a balance beam using only long poles. Upon every castaway reaching the final platform, the must score baskets with each buoy. While there was no puzzle as an equalizer, the balance beam took its place this week. Civa and Lagi ended up having a massive lead, all thanks to Kevin Leung and Cedrek McFadden‘s inability to cross the balance beam. Civa gets first, earning Immunity and a large fishing kit. Lagi came in second, earning Immunity and a smaller fishing kit. Vula, coming in last, was sent to Tribal Council again.

Who Was Voted Out Second on ‘Survivor 48?’

Leave it to emotions for a massive blindside to come to fruition. Placing the blame on himself, Cedrick felt he was responsible for his tribe’s loss, understanding that he could be an easy scapegoat for being voted out. Like Stephanie Berger last week, Sai set her target squarely on Mary, who did not have a vote or the ability to play her Shot in the Dark. Kevin, knowing that it would be beneficial for all to eliminate Sai and flush out her idol, attempted to rally the men to blindside Sai thanks to her vulnerable position. Cedrek’s emotions caught up with him as his connection to Sai made him wary of losing her just yet. He ran his plan to Sai and alerted her that she must play her Immunity Idol. Knowing that Kevin was a strong strategic player, Cedrek and Justin Pioppi considered Kevin as their option, fully aware it would put their tribe at a physical disadvantage.

At Tribal Council, there was a lot of caginess despite the conversation revolving around honesty, Mary still believed that she was the target as Sai essentially admitted she was out of the core four. But was she voting for her? Sai never said it! In the end, she did not as honesty won out. With Sai playing her Immunity Idol, Kevin was voted out by a vote of 3-0. Mary was unable to vote. Kevin’s vote for Sai did not count. The remaining votes for Kevin wee from Cedrek, Justin, and Sai.

Who Was the MVP of Episode 2?

When it comes to exceptional character development, Survivor 48 is knocking it out of the park. For Mitch Guerra, his story is just beginning, but how could you not smile when he comes on screen? He started the game sharing with the castaways, and the world, about his speech impediment. He didn’t use it as an excuse, rather as it was just an element of himself. Before the Immunity Challenge began, Jeff Probst asked if he should help him when he speaks or allow him to finish. Mitch shared that it would ask to allow him to finish, but then shared that Jeff’s asking made him feel comfortable. It was a beautiful moment for others who struggle with the same thing to be seen. Now, to the game. Mitch’s exceptional performance during the Journey and the Immunity Challenge has made him a formidable force in the game. While some may not share the information about an advantage, Mitch is on Survivor as a team player.
