A Unanimous Blindside Shakes Up Survivor 49
So, let me walk you through what went down in the latest episode of Survivor Season 49, because Episode 11 turned out to be one of those moments where strategy, revenge, and timing all collided in the most dramatic way. It was one of those episodes where you could almost feel the tension rising through the screen as the final seven tried to claw their way toward the final six. And honestly, the game was played with a level of intensity that made this blindside feel even bigger.
The episode kicked off with revenge in the air — and not the subtle kind. More than a million dollars and the title of Sole Survivor are on the line, but for many of these castaways, the satisfaction of payback seemed just as motivating. Colorado rocket scientist Steven Ramm had the kind of night players dream about. Not only did he snag a vote-block advantage, but he also secured immunity at tribal council. When one player sweeps advantages and safety like that, you know the rest of the tribe is scrambling.
Meanwhile, the social game was getting messy. Miami entrepreneur Sophi Balerdi was quietly eyeing the moment to betray her closest allies, Savannah Louie and Rizo Velovic. Kristina Mills was still locked into her long-running feud with Savannah — a rivalry built on clashing personalities and competing game styles. It felt like almost everyone had a side agenda simmering beneath the surface.

But the biggest moment came at tribal council, where the Mamanuca Islands suddenly felt too small for two players sharing the same name. Sophie Segreti — the Yellow Sophie — was absolutely blindsided. The vote came in 6–1, a clean sweep that sent her straight to the jury. And what made it sting even more was that Sophie had been playing both sides, winning challenges and managing to slide between alliances. Her attempt to orchestrate a move against Savannah Louie backfired in the most brutal way.
For Savannah, this was a particularly satisfying outcome since her own name had been thrown around earlier that day. And for Sage Ahrens-Nichols, the vote served as payback after Sophie had helped vote out her close ally Jawan Pitts. Revenge really was the theme of the night.
Sophie took the blindside with a surprising amount of grace, even calling it a compliment — because, in her words, if everyone thinks you’re a threat, you must have been doing something right. Still, being known as “the other Sophie,” and the first one voted out, clearly hit her a little harder than she let on.
And now we’re down to the final six: Kristina, Rizo, Sage, Savannah, Sophi, and Steven — each with their own agenda, alliances, and simmering tensions. With Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands as the backdrop, this season has been packed with strategy and surprises, and it feels like the biggest moves are still ahead.
It’s getting real now. One blindside down — and several more surely on the way.
