The “Survivor” auction returns, with a twist: Who went home?

by Junna Base November 7, 2024

This week, a classic Survivor element returned for Season 47 contestants: The Survivor Auction.

Like everything in the new era of the long-running reality competition show on CBS, the auction had a twist. There were tubes filled with varying amounts of money hidden throughout the island where players live, and they had to race to search and find them. At the auction, host Jeff Probst drew a hidden number from a bag and determined how many items would be shown, and the player with the most money remaining would lose their vote at Tribal Council.

Items in the auction episode, titled “He’s All That,” included macaroni and cheese, French fries with a hidden benefit, chicken wings and an eating contest to win a breakfast spread.

And like every “Survivor” episode, one player was ultimately voted out and sent home.

Here’s who was voted out on Survivor Season 47 Episode 8.

Who went home on “Survivor” Season 47, Episode 7?

Sam Phalen did not have a vote in the individual immunity challenge as he was the player with the most money left at the end of the auction. Before the challenge, in which players held a bucket containing 25% of their body weight on a rope before the game, host Jeff Probst announced that one man and one woman would emerge with an individual immunity necklace, leaving the remaining nine players vulnerable to being voted out .

For the third time in a row, Kyle Ostwald won the men’s event. Sue Smey, the oldest player this season, won the women’s event.

Players in various alliances argued back and forth about who to vote out, including former Gata core member and alliance member Andy Rueda, who turned against Phalen and Sierra Wright to join the majority.

At Tribal Council, another former Gata Tribe member, Rachel LaMont, played her shot in the dark (she lost her vote to seek immunity, which she did not receive), and there was a tie between voting out Phalen or Wright.

During a re-vote, a majority of players chose to vote out Wright, making her the first member of the Season 47 jury that will ultimately decide the winner.

Who went home on “Survivor” last week?

During the immunity and reward challenge, participants were divided into two groups, with Probst telling players that only one of the teams was safe. The last player standing would gain immunity for their group, while the other group would attend tribal council and vote someone out.

The yellow group won the challenge and consisted of: Sol Yi, Sam Phalen, Andy Rueda, Teeny Chirichillo and Genevieve Mushaluk. The blue group that lost consisted of: Sue Smey, Rachel LaMont, Gabe Ortis, Caroline Vidmar, Tiyana Hallums and Kyle Ostwald. Ostwald gained individual immunity, which gave him security in the game.

The two groups were separated as the blue group prepared to cast their vote at Tribal Council. While at the reward, Yi found a perk hidden near the food that allowed him to send it to a player in the group who voted. Yi sent the advantage, which allowed safety without casting a vote, to LaMont, the only player in the group who was not a member of the former Lavo tribe and was the obvious target.

This sent Tribal Council into a tailspin as the remaining players fought over who to vote out. Ultimately, a majority voted for Tiyana Hallums, a 27-year-old flight attendant from Oahu, Hawaii.
