‘Survivor’ Live Blog: Who Will Be Voted Out in Season 47, Episode 12, With Just 7 Players Left?

Things are winding down on season 47 of Survivor. After the seven remaining players were able to vote out Kyle — the biggest immunity challenge threat — last week, it was time for them to start thinking about who they wanted to sit with at the upcoming final tribal council during the Wednesday, December 4, episode.

‘Survivor’ Season 47’s Top 7 Alliances

With Andy, Rachel, Caroline, Sue and Teeny in the majority alliance, Sam and Genevieve found themselves on the outs. Caroline and Sue continued to solidify the strong bond they’ve had since the beginning, while Genevieve apologized to Andy for previously discrediting his game. Genevieve knew it was time for her to start laying low in hopes of getting the target off her back.

Genevieve approached her former Lavo tribe member Teeny and pointed out that Rachel is the biggest threat left in the game. The conversation led to some more tension between the two because it made Teeny realize that Genevieve didn’t respect her game. Teeny led Rachel know that she was Genevieve and Sam’s target, but since Rachel had a secret idol and vote block advantage in her pocket, she wasn’t nervous.

Who Won the Reward Challenge on ‘Survivor’ Season 47, Episode 12?

For the reward challenge, the players had to untie sandbags, move a ball through a net tunnel, retrieve a second ball, navigate a net obstacle, then land both balls on a tall perch. Sam had a major comeback and won the reward, earning an overnight at the sanctuary, a big Italian feast and letters from home.

Because of the addition of the family letters, Sam got emotional while making a decision about who to take with him. Sam picked Andy to go with him because he previously promised to take him on a reward, despite them not being on the same page game-wise at the moment. For his second choice, Sam picked Genevieve, leaving Sue, Caroline, Teeny and Rachel headed back to camp with nothing.

Teeny declared that Sam made a “horrible” decision because Sam choosing Genevieve to go with him only made her want to team up against them even more.
