🌴 The Battle Heats Up on Survivor 48 as Eight Castaways Chase the Crown
With only eight players left, Survivor Season 48 Episode 10 brought a heavy mix of strategic tension, emotional decisions, and unexpected outcomes. Every reward and immunity challenge now comes with higher stakes. As the $1 million prize draws closer, the question is clear—who’s willing to betray whom?
🥘 Reward Challenge: Fried Chicken Divides the Tribe
In the opening moments of the episode, the players competed in a physically demanding challenge, and Kyle Fraser came out victorious. As the winner, he selected Eva, Kamilla, and Shauhin to join him for a reward feast of fried chicken and waffles.
While the lucky four enjoyed their hearty meal, conversations at the reward hinted at new alliances forming. Back at camp, the other players grew suspicious and resentful—particularly Star and Mary, who felt left out and potentially targeted.
🛡️ Joe Hunter Dominates Another Immunity Challenge
Joe Hunter proved again that he’s not just lucky—he’s lethal in challenges. This week’s immunity test was a balancing and spelling endurance contest, and Joe outlasted all, winning his second back-to-back immunity necklace. His performance has made him both an asset and a threat to others in the game.
⚖️ Strategic Shifts: Star vs Mary
Back at camp, the conversation shifted to Star Toomey, whose growing social bonds made her a threat. Mary Zheng, sensing an opportunity, worked behind the scenes to shift the votes toward Star, hoping to rally others under the radar.
Star, on the other hand, remained composed. Despite sensing something was off, she opted not to use her Shot in the Dark, choosing to trust her connections.
🔥 Tribal Council: Calm Before the Blind Side
The tribal council was quiet—almost eerily so. When the votes were cast, it became clear that Star Toomey had been outplayed. She received the majority of the votes and became the 4th member of the Survivor 48 jury.
Her exit left a mark: a warning to others that social threat = target.
