‘Survivor 49’ contestant Kristina Mills recaps final jury question
Edmond woman Kristina Mills’ journey on “Survivor 49” involved twists and turns, but her final jury question was what many thought stole the show.
The 11th episode of Survivor 50 is titled “Everyone Will Be Shooketh!” and that seems ominous after last week when the prize money was doubled and we saw the 15th person get voted off the island.
The “Survivor 50” cast features returning players from the show’s first 49 seasons and celebrities will be making appearances “in unique ways” throughout the season, according to CBS.
“Cheers to someone being a million dollars more richer”
Rizo Velovic from Season 49 said the last tribal council was “the greatest tribal of all time.”
“Today, unless I win the $2million, might be my favorite day in Survivor history,” Rizo said.
Aubry Bracco from Seasons 32 (Kaôh Rōng – Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty), 34 (Game Changers), 38 (Edge of Extinction) said she loves when people do the dirty work for her, referring to Rick Devens from Season 38 (Edge of Extinction).
Aubry said her and Rick are “two little devious cockroaches who won’t go away from the edge of extinction.”
Jonathan Young from Season 42 thought tribal was terrible because his plan got flipped upside and Steph was voted off.
“I have a uphill battle to get to that $2 million,” Jonathan said.
“Last night was the wildest moment of my life,” Rick said.
Now Devens has his first real immunity idol of the game, but he can’t use it until there are 7 people left.
He is literally dancing on the island stating “play to win the game… but have fun.”
“The mood around camp is pretty celebratory …. minus Joe and Jonathan.” Devens said.
Joseph Hunter from Season 48 said it is awkward because of Rick.
Cirie Fields from Seasons 12 (Panama – Exile Island), 16 (Micronesia – Fans vs. Favorites), 20 (Heroes vs. Villains), 34 (Game Changers) thinks Joe is a hypocrite.
Ozzy and Rizo still have idols.
“Ozzy and Rizo are still my closest allies but they still have idols and I don’t,” Cirie said.
Cirie and Tiffany Ervin from Season 46 plot on getting their allies to play their idols but keep them in the game.
Ozzy Lusth from Seasons 13 (Cook Islands), 16 (Micronesia – Fans vs. Favorites), 23 (South Pacific), 34 (Game Changers) had a nightmare about not playing his idol.
Ozzy and Rick bond over their family letters from last week. Ozzy vents about his father on Survivor again, but this time he has a more mature perspective. Rick cries and jokes “I am a bad guy to bounce this off of because I am more of a mush than you are.”
The two men bond about fatherhood.
“That is one of the gifts of this show, the learning process,” Ozzy said.
Emily Flippen from Season 45 knows there is going to be a push for an idol flush.
Rick doesn’t want to waste the idols and wants to get out someone huge.
Rick and Emily think the target is Cirie.
“I don’t want it to be for nothing,” Devens said.
It is time for… the game Rizo literally guessed from the letter they received.
Last person left standing wins immunity and a guaranteed spot in the final 8… whoever wins also gets an advantage that impacts tonight’s tribal council.
Jonathan won the last time he played this game on rough seas… however the seas are perfect for this game.
Cirie is the first person out. Devens is out next. Rizo, Ozzy, Joe and Emily are out almost simultenously.
The replay said Tiff didn’t win so it was Jonathan.
Jonathan cries and said Survivor “is the best thing I ever done.”
Jonathan might have saved himself from tribal council tonight.
Tiff, Emily, Cirie and Devens are one group.
Joe, Ozzy, Rizo, Aubry are the other.
Jonathan can go back and forth between the groups, the two groups will remain separated.
“I feel amazing, if I could pick an individual immunity win it would be this one. It is time to make a big move and now is the time to strike. It feels good, the power feels good,” Jonathan said.
“The fact that I get to vote at each tribal is such a big deal,” Jonathan said. “I have immnity and a little power.”
Jonathan gets to make moves.
Cirie’s gameplan is to keep Tiff and Rizo safe.
Cirie wants Devens or Emily out.
Jonathan knows Devens has an idol “we don’t know if he is too cocky to not play an idol.”
Jonathan wants Devens over Emily because he is the better player (which is debatable considering how Emily is active in every plot).
“I would like to credit myself with not being entirely dumb,” Emily said. “It is day 21 this is the exact day I was voted out on Survivor 25.”
Emily wants to convince Rick to play his idol on her and then get everyone to vote Rick out.
“Devens goes home and idols himself out,” she said.
“Now would be the perfect time to do what you just said,” Jonathan said.
Emily actually doesn’t want to do that, and she tells Rick her plan and tells him to play the idol on himself.
“Lets get Cirie,” Rick said. “The good news is I have been playing dumb my whole life.”
Rick said the name of the episode.
Rick and Emily are genuinely a good team/seem like actual friends.
Jonathan and Tiff are thinking the same thing… get Ozzy.
“Jonathan is trying to pull a blindside on Ozzy… which is great for me,” Tiff said.
“I have been wanting to get Ozzy out for three tribals now…” Jonathan said.
“You are playing a wonderful game,” Aubry to Ozzy.
Ozzy tells Aubry about the extra vote that Cirie has and considers Cirie one of the best in the game.
“I don’t want to go to the end with Rizo,” Ozzy said “This is all jury management.”
Aubry lets Rizo know that Ozzy is a big threat and informs Joe about Ozzy’s entire agenda.
Rizo doesn’t understand why Ozzy told Aubry everything.
“Me, you and Cirie are together shut your mouth,” Rizo said.
Jonathan and Tiff wanted to go at Ozzy and Aubry and Joe want to go at Ozzy.
“What can I do to save Ozzy without risking myself,” Cirie said.
Aubry tells Jonathan she played this game four times and she knows what’s up. She tells him about the extra vote.
Jonathan doesn’t trust Aubry but he has to now.
“I think Ozzy is going home, period,” Joe said. “My gut is telling me to get out Aubry.”
Jonathan said Joe isn’t easy to sway because he wants to play a straight and narrow game.
Joe wants to loop Rizo in, Cirie supports that because Rizo will let Ozzy know what’s up.
“I need Ozzy to be around one more day,” Cirie said.
Rizo and Joe talk.
“Ozzy went from being in an okay spot to possibly going home tonight,” Rizo said.
Rizo said it went from a possible Aubry vote to a possible Ozzy blindside.
“With Ozzy putting his foot in his mouth” is Cirie’s plan the best for Rizo? He doesn’t know.
“When something seems so cut and drive it never has been,” Jonathan said.
Rick is definitely using the idol, and he doesn’t rule out working with Jonathan in the future.
Cirie says the math aint mathin when Emily said she doesn’t want to see anyone go home.
Devens uses his immunity on himself, two votes for Devens don’t count.
Re-vote only for those two, so where do the two Devens votes go?
Emily walks straight to the jury. Jonathan waits for the next tribe.
“This is the second time I got voted off on day 21,” Emily said.
Ozzy doesn’t play his idol!
“You said too much bro, I am sorry,” Rizo said.

Recap of last week
The 10th episode of Survivor 50 was titled “A Side Dish of Chaos” and it lived up to the title as Jersey’s own Stephenie Lagrossa Kendrick is the 15th person voted off of the island….oh and the prize money just DOUBLED.
Only 10 contestants left on day 19 and Steph from Seasons 10 (Palau), 11 (Guatemala), 20 (Heroes vs. Villains) got caught in the inter-tribal politics.
Rick Devens from Season 38 (Edge of Extinction) thought he was a marked man but used the chaos to his advantage. Rick told the remaining tribe that his idol was fake and explained what he did and why. Then later in the episode MrBeast introduced his MrBeast Super Beware Advantage.
The MrBeast Super Beware Advantage wasn’t revealed until tribal and that caused chaos as the 10 players went through different names of who to vote for- Rick, Steph, Ozzy, and/or Cirie/Rizo.
Rick ended up airing out all the plots at tribal before the MrBeast reveal and essentially sealed Steph’s fate. The MrBeast Super Beware Advantage was a simple coin toss- win and you double the prize to $2 million and gain immunity- or lose and go home (and the prize stays the same).
“You know what’s worse than a 50-50 chance? A one in six chance,” Devens said. “Don’t come out here to play scared.”
Devens was the second person to win individual immunity this episode.
Tiffany Ervin from Season 46 started crying after she won hers during the immunity challenge because she went home on day 19 last time.
“When I woke up and saw today was day 19 I said oh my God I just need to get through today,” Tiff said.
Steph is the 15th person off the island but will return as the 5th member of the jury. She isn’t a sore loser and is proud of her run on Survivor 50.
