Survivor 47 Eliminations: Complete List of Contestants Eliminated So Far

On September 18, CBS launched the premiere of Survivor 47, unveiling a new array of contestants who find themselves on the picturesque Mamanuca Islands, competing for a grand prize. The participants have been split into three tribes, each facing weekly challenges, with the losing tribe compelled to send one of their own to tribal council for elimination.

From the initial group of 18 contestants, five have faced elimination thus far. In the latest episode, Anika Dhar from the Gata tribe was voted out, feeling betrayed by her allies. The other contestants eliminated from Survivor 47 include Kishan Patel, Aysha Welch, TK Foster, and Jon Lovett.

Survivor 47: Elimination Episodes for Each Contestant

Episode 1: Jon Lovett

The first contestant to depart from Survivor 47 was Jon Lovett. Known for hosting the Pod Save America podcast, he was among the more recognizable faces in the cast, leading many to speculate he might go far in the competition. Unfortunately, his journey ended in the initial episode.

During tribal council, Jon attempted to deflect attention by targeting Anika, but in a surprising turn of events, he received the highest number of votes for elimination and was the first to exit the show.

Episode 2: TK Foster

Following Jon’s exit, TK Foster was next to leave the competition. As a valuable member of the Tuku tribe, his performance in the first episode showcased his physical prowess, aiding his team in acquiring supplies. However, his overbearing attitude and self-assured demeanor did not sit well with his fellow tribe members, making him a target during the second tribal council.

TK’s strategy involved forming an alliance with Kyle Ostwald and Tiyana Hallums to eliminate Sue Smey, but Tiyana ultimately broke rank, siding with the rest of Tuku to eliminate TK instead.

Episode 3: Aysha Welch

The third contestant to be eliminated from Survivor 47 was Aysha Welch of the Lavo tribe. In a tense tribal council, Aysha found herself at risk alongside teammates Sol Yi and Rome Cooney. As Rome played his immunity idol, Aysha received three votes against her, sealing her fate for elimination.

Episode 4: Kishan Patel

In the following episode, the Lavo tribe faced elimination again as they entered tribal council. Kishan attempted to create multiple alliances while secretly advocating for others to target one another. However, his plans backfired spectacularly, leading his own teammates to unanimously vote for his exile from the game.

Episode 5: Anika Dhar

Anika Dhar was shockingly voted out by her supposed allies in the Gata tribe. Under the impression that she had their support, she expected the votes to go against Andy Rueda, who had impressed them in the immunity challenge of Episode 5. Ultimately, Andy managed to sway Sierra Wright and Sam Phalen to cast their votes for Anika, leading to her elimination.
