Survivor Season 47, Episode 8 Recap: “He’s All That”

In the latest episode of Survivor, titled “He’s All That,”the strategic gameplay took center stage as Sierra was voted out, while Rachel unearthed a secret immunity idol clue hidden within her food. Genevieve, a key player from the Lavo tribe, viewed Rachel as a threat and devised a plan for her elimination, oblivious to the fact that Rachel had already discovered a potential idol. Meanwhile, Sol, a loyal ally of Rachel, actively opposed Genevieve’s scheme, presenting a dynamic clash of strategies among the contestants.

Genevieve and her Lavo allies targeted Sierra or Sam from the Gata tribe, believing they were the most vulnerable contestants. Their collective efforts paid off as Sierra and Sam received the highest number of votes, despite other tribe members advocating for the ousting of Tuku’s Caroline or Gabe. The fans quickly took to X, lauding Genevieve’s tactical maneuvering during this crucial stage of the game.

“OH MOTHER GENEVIEVE YOU TRULY RUN SURVIVOR47………,”a fan commented.

“Genevieve is such a smart player. She really has her pulse on the game. She’s def making it to final 3,”another fan said.

“I LOVE how Genevieve portrays herself in her confessionals. We see her strategic thoughts, but she also sneaks in little jokes and a grin. Parv and Kim would be proud,”a third fan added.

“Genevieve reads are on point. Very smart cookie,”another user noted.

Notably, many viewers noted Genevieve’s humorous reaction when Andy failed to find any cash bundles while she discreetly claimed one for herself. This moment underscored her strategic cunning and adaptability within the game.

“Genevieve taking a scroll and trying to hide her laugh right as Andy walks by with 0,”stated one X user.

“GENEVIEVE REALLY SNATCHED THAT AFTER BEING LIKE ‘oh you don’t have one yet,’”another commented.

“I think Rachel, Genevieve, and Caroline are in the running for being some of the best strategic players of the new era (based on their edits so far),”suggested a fan.

“The way Genevieve is the godfather of the season… she narrates and runs literally everything,”another user shared.

Episode Highlights

This week, contestants participated in a unique challenge that involved collecting cash rolls scattered throughout the area. The goal was to spend the collected money on items from a secret menu, with the contestant spending the most cash forfeiting their ability to vote. Only Jeff, the show’s host, was privy to the costs of each item.

Ultimately, Sam amassed the highest amount of money, which ironically led to a precarious situation, as he tied with Sierra during the initial vote. In a twist of fate, the re-vote resulted in the majority opting to eliminate Sierra, thereby saving Sam. The Lavo alliance, which included Genevieve, Sol, and Teeny, focused their efforts on Sierra and Sam, while other tribe members cast a singular vote for Gabe.

Kyle once again clinched immunity, along with Sue, securing their safety for the time being. However, Kyle expressed concern that his consecutive victories may mark him as a target in future episodes.
