Who Was Voted off of Tonight's Episode of 'Survivor 48'? A Running List of Every Eliminated Castaway

Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for Episode 13 of Survivor 48.

One of the things that makes Survivor so engaging is that it isn't just a game of surviving the wilderness but also about surviving socially and strategically. To win, one has to form (seemingly) genuine connections with fellow players while vying for the million-dollar grand prize.

Each week, at least one person is voted off the island during tribal council. We're keeping a running tally of all of the contestants who were voted off the show. Here's whose torch got snuffed tonight.

We made it to the finale! The episode started with the final five and by the end of it, the sole Survivor would be crowned.

But first, we had to narrow it down to three. There was chatter of voting Kamilla off next, but when she had an amazing come-from-behind victory in the penultimate Immunity Challenge, she was officially off the chopping block and replaced by Mitch. He tried to rally Kyle and Kamilla to vote Joe out with him, finally removing the challenge beast, but eventually got the message that no one wanted to sit next to him at Final Three. With everyone in agreement, there wasn’t much for him to do but sit and wait for his name to turn up in the votes.

Kyle won the final Immunity Challenge and decided to bring Joe with him to the Final Three. This left Eva and Kamilla to battle it out at fire. They both spent a significant amount of time practicing building fire at camp in preparation for their showdown, but Kamilla was unable to get a flame going at all, and Eva snatched her own place at Final Tribal Council.

Say it with us now: “owaka siano maka!”

We finally have a bit of a shake-up of the major alliance (even though it’s maybe not exactly the result some of us were hoping for).

Shauhin won a challenge! He brought Joe and Kyle with him to the Sanctuary for a meal and a good night’s sleep. While there, he approached Kyle with the potential plan of blindsiding Eva at the next Tribal Council.

This provided Kyle with exactly what he had been waiting for: a chance to make a move and flip on the majority alliance. He and Kamilla came up with a plan to tell Joe Shauhin was ready to flip (true) and had an Idol (not true).

Joe once won Immunity, and it seemed like Kyle’s and Kamilla’s scheming really did a number on him. Shauhin abandoned his plan to vote off Eva in order to keep her off the Jury but was ultimately blindsided.

We should have known Mary was doomed once she finally started getting featured in tonight’s episode. Kamilla won Immunity and seemed intent on finally splitting up Joe and Eva, along with help from Mary, Mitch, and Kyle. With Joe finally vulnerable after three of his own wins, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for Kyle (or maybe Shauhin) to flip on the Strong Alliance and take him out. Alas, it was not meant to be.

Both Kyle and Shauhin seemed to consider flipping, but apparently determined that Final 7 was too early to make a move. Mary was therefore voted out by the Strong Alliance (plus Kamilla and Mitch), leaving Kamilla and Mitch to try to finagle something next week.

As much as it hurts to see Mary go, we can’t help but be impressed by how long she lasted as the final member from the original Vula tribe who was constantly on the bottom. David seemed to share that sentiment and stood up to honor Mary as her torch were snuffed (which was weird … but nice).

Well, anyone who was worried about the Strong 4/5/6 Alliance can breathe a sigh of relief. Although it seemed like Kamilla, Mitch, Star, and Mary had the perfect opportunity to unseat the alliance, a lack of trust among the non-alliance members might just lead to them being picked off one by one unless some real shake-ups happen in the next few episodes.

Now that David is gone, Mary is out of the Strong [insert number here] Alliance, but the call was made to loop in Mitch and Kamilla so they still have the numbers. Kamilla, Star, Mary, and a very hesitant Mitch spoke about formulating a plan to get Joe out via a tie vote, but that was quickly set aside when Joe once again won Immunity. There was some talk of targeting Shauhin or Kyle instead, but Mitch’s distrust of Star (and Mary’s of Kamilla) meant that fizzled out.

The call then seemed to be between either Mary or Star, with solid arguments for both: Mary is a “mastermind,” and Star supposedly "causes chaos." The votes were split (presumably to cover for Star playing her Shot in the Dark, which she did not do), and Star was sent home.

And just like that, we have the third member of our Jury.

David came very close to winning Immunity in this episode’s challenge, but ultimately failed to bring home that necklace, and he seemed to take the loss rather hard.

After last week’s back-and-forth over voting out either Kamilla or Chrissy, David’s (and Mary’s) suspicions were at an all-time high when it came to Kyle and Shauhin. David once again attempted to strong-arm a Kamilla vote, but made a fatal error by accusing Joe of going back on his word. That got Joe’s hackles up and made him all the more receptive to an alternative plan.

David and Mary eventually settled on voting out Mitch, but in the end, the “Strong 5 (but actually 6)” Alliance rallied together to take out David instead. At least he’s sure to get some good chocolate milk at Ponderosa, though.

So begins David’s chaos era — someone get that guy some milk! Eva won Individual Immunity at the challenge, making everyone else vulnerable to tonight’s vote.

After Chrissy admitted to being willing to lie to get ahead in the game at last week’s Tribal Council, many people had their eye on her. But David (somewhat inexplicably) decided to target Kamilla instead. He seemed to have the numbers to do it, but Kamilla’s secret No. 1, Kyle, obviously didn’t want that to happen.

After several attempts to convince David that Chrissy was a better move for this vote, Kyle (with the help of Joe) was finally able to convince everyone to keep the vote on Chrissy. Judging by the sneak peek for next week’s ep, though, there’s going to be some fallout.

Well, we’ve made it to the merge so naturally, the tribe was split into two groups of six, both of which were sent to Tribal Council to vote someone off. Group No. 1 consisted of Chrissy, Star, Sai, Joe (who had Individual Immunity), Mitch, and Eva. Group No. 2 had Mary, David (who had Individual Immunity), Cedrek, Kyle, Kamilla, and Shauhin.

Both groups had a very similar predicament according to the confessionals we saw: They could either have an easy vote and eliminate someone who was already on the bottom, or they could be more strategic and take out a power player.

Group No. 1 was deciding between Sai — who, at this point, has gotten on everyone’s nerves — and Mitch, who has proven to be a formidable opponent at challenges and who has a compelling Survivor story. The micro-tribe seemed to be considering a Mitch vote, but after he revealed he could block Sai’s vote with an Advantage, Sai’s fate was written on the wall. In very Sai-like fashion, she said that she was voted out because everyone was obsessed with her and saw her as a threat.

Group No. 2 seemed pretty unanimous on voting out Cedrek until Kamilla and Kyle tried to get sneaky and convince David that Shauhin was actually a better target. Ultimately, though, their case was not convincing enough to take out Shauhin and Cedrek’s torch was snuffed. Personally, we’re relieved if that means we get more Shauhin-inspired music for the rest of the season.

Welcome to Mergatory! This season is slightly different as only one contestant — Kyle — earned his merge Buff at the Immunity Challenge (along with the first Individual Immunity). With only one contestant safe from elimination, everyone else was left to scramble before the vote.

Charity immediately brought up Eva’s name as she has an Idol, but eventually seemed to decide that eliminating Eva was too bold of a play at this stage in the game. Instead, she settled on voting out Sai, who has rubbed pretty much everyone the wrong way at this point.

Unbeknownst to Charity, she has also been rubbing people the wrong way, so her name was also making the rounds. In addition to the personality clash, Shauhin pointed out that the original Civa tribe still had all six members, so it made sense to try to cut any “Civa Strong” plan off at the knees. So that’s how the contestants voted this week, right before finally earning their Merge Buffs.

We finally saw a tribe other than Vula at Tribal Council! After Civa lost the Immunity Challenge, there were two names on the chopping block. Chrissy and Mitch wanted to vote off Sai, and Sai and Cedrek agreed to vote off Chrissy. Bianca was in the sweet spot in the middle, but unbeknownst to everyone else, she didn’t have a vote.

Then Bianca got wind from Chrissy that Cedrek was willing to vote out Sai. Rather than letting a tie vote play out (thereby revealing her secret), Bianca decided to tell Cedrek she had no vote to try to get him to cleanly vote out Sai. Once again, Cedrek was effectively put in charge of the vote.

When it came time to read the votes, Bianca was eliminated with a majority of two (Cedrek and Chrissy). Notably, though, Sai was left out of the plan, meaning Cedrek once again did some scheming behind her back. Wonder how that’ll play out!

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but Vula lost tonight’s Immunity Challenge. But! This was an all-new Vula with castaways who had never been to Tribal Council before, thanks to the Tribe Swap.

The California Girls alliance of Joe, Shauhin, and Thomas quickly banded together and decided to vote out either Kamilla or Kyle. Thanks to some master class acting on their part, Kamilla and Kyle were able to trick the guys into thinking that plan was viable, all the while knowing that with an Idol and an Extra Vote Advantage, they actually had the upper hand.

All three guys voted for Kyle, but their votes were voided by his Idol play. Instead, Thomas was sent packing with a Steal-a-Vote Advantage in his pocket.

OK, you’re gonna want to strap in for this one.

Once again, Vula lost the Immunity Challenge and was sent to Tribal Council. The tribe consisted of Mary (who had been pretending to have Immunity all day), Sai (who kind of believed her), Cedrek, and Justin (who had no vote — although he didn’t tell anyone that).

For the first vote (yes, you read that right), Mary successfully played her Shot in the Dark and was declared safe. This was lucky since all of the votes had been for her. So, there was a re-vote. Everyone except Mary was vulnerable.

The second vote revealed a tie between Justin and Sai. Usually, tied players can’t vote again (since their votes would just cancel out), but Jeff then revealed that Justin had no vote, so Sai could in fact vote for a third time.

The third vote revealed a deadlock between Justin and Sai. Usually, this means that all non-tied contestants must come to a unanimous decision about who to send home. However, since Mary had no voice in this vote after playing her SITD, it all came down to Cedrek.

Even though he had voted for Sai twice at this point, he ultimately decided to keep her around and send Justin packing, with the stipulation that she and Mary learn to work together as teammates (which, if we’re being honest, we really hope does not happen).

Justin’s torch was snuffed, and Mary, Cedrek, and Sai live to fight another day.

(Psst! If you’re still confused about how this all went down, we have a detailed explanation of Episode 3’s vote here!)

After losing their second Immunity Challenge in a row, Vula once again found themselves facing Tribal Council. In the lead up to Tribal, Sai was convinced her core four alliance with Kevin, Cedrek, and Justin would vote out Mary, but Kevin had other plans.

He coordinated with Justin and Cedrek to instead take out Sai, saying it was too dangerous to keep her since she had an Idol. Although they seemed onboard with the idea, Cedrek then approached Sai and told her to play her Idol and stick to the original plan of voting out Mary. When Sai learned that Kevin had tried to orchestrate her ousting, she started to plant seeds of doubt about whether they should keep Kevin around.

Ultimately, Justin, Cedrek, and Sai voted together to take out Kevin, although Sai also played her Idol just to be safe. Maybe Sai and Mary will get a chance to repair their relationship after all!

Early on in the episode, we saw lines drawn between Steph and Sai. Sai came into the game ready to strategize, whereas Steph seemed to make the social angle of her game her priority. We've seen both work out in the past, but tonight, Steph's social strategy was her downfall.

After Vula lost the season's first Immunity Challenge, Sai pretty much immediately put a target on Steph for falling short during the puzzle portion. Steph and Mary were aligned in wanting to get out Sai instead and tried to form a four-person voting bloc with Kevin and Justin.

Unfortunately for them, Kevin and Justin had already shown loyalty to a core four alliance including Sai and Cedrek. Kevin and Justin seemed to consider voting Sai out but ultimately remained loyal to their alliance. Steph made a last-ditch effort to save herself by playing her Shot in the Dark but was unsuccessful, and her torch was the first one snuffed this season.
