Two Gamers On Survivor 50 Repeated Historical past (In A Dangerous Method)

Drop your buff if you have not seen “Survivor 50” Episode 11, “Everybody Will Be Shooketh!” Spoilers forward!

It’s a fact universally acknowledged that, if a participant returns to Fiji to show their price on the fact competitors present “Survivor,” they will in all probability find yourself repeating errors from their previous. That is exactly what occurred on the eleventh episode of the landmark fiftieth season of “Survivor,” which featured a double elimination and despatched each Oscar “Ozzy” Lusth and Emily Flippen to the jury.

Comparatively early in “Everybody Will Be Shooketh!,” we obtained an announcement from host Jeff Probst, who revealed that there have been simply 9 gamers left in what’s arguably the largest season of “Survivor” but. After the immunity problem, during which Jonathan Younger emerged because the victor, Probst advised Jonathan that he earned the “Energy Dealer” benefit. The remaining eight contestants had been then break up into two teams of 4, each of whom voted … and Jonathan obtained to vote in each teams.

The unconventional unfairness of this benefit for Jonathan apart, followers of legendary participant Cirie Fields all felt nervous as she ended up separated from Ozzy and their different ally, Rizo “Rizgod” Velovic, and so they had a great purpose to take action when Emily and Rick Devens began plotting to oust Cirie. As an alternative, Emily went house, and, remarkably, she did so on the twenty first day of gameplay … which is the very same day that she went house throughout her first-ever season.

So, what about Ozzy? His repeat is far more embarrassing. In “Survivor: Micronesia,” he was voted out with an Immunity Idol in his pocket that would have protected him had he merely performed it throughout tribal council. Sure, that is proper — Ozzy went house, once more, whereas holding an Immunity idol, which is the peak of absurdity on “Survivor.”

The underside line for Ozzy is that this: clearly, he ought to have performed his idol, however his larger drawback seemed to be that he utterly forgot learn how to play “Survivor” with out Cirie Fields, his steadfast ally and a grasp strategist, informing his each transfer. Shortly earlier than getting blindsided, Ozzy, in a second of pure foolishness and hubris, advised fellow participant Aubry Bracco that he is loyal to Cirie and Cirie solely, giving his whole sport away and granting Aubry and the opposite people of their non permanent five-person tribe purpose to focus on him.

This didn’t go unnoticed on social media. X/Twitter person @jessicalewis89 posted a GIF of Ozzy with the succinct caption, “Confirmed: Ozzy can’t play ‘Survivor’ with out Cirie telling him what to do.” @hotlikefireeee agreed: “ozzy out of cirie’s sight and he instantly saying pointless sh**.” In the meantime, @_BrookeB13 simply wished higher for Cirie, writing, “Cirie Fields doing legendary stuff on the opposite island in the meantime her ally is a dummy. I’ve seen this movie too many instances.”

For my cash, @CohenBrian had the funniest tackle the entire thing, posting photos of Ozzy’s ouster from “Micronesia” and his vote-off in “Survivor 50” and writing, “If I had a nickel for each time I used to be voted out with an idol I might have two nickels, which is not loads nevertheless it’s loopy it occurred twice proper?” Plus, some sharp-eared viewers, like @new_rxmantics, discovered that the “Survivor” crew used the similar musical motif that performed when Ozzy obtained the boot on “Micronesia,” which is, sadly for him, extraordinarily humorous. Sorry, Ozzy! Perhaps your fellow ousted participant Mike White will allow you to cameo on “The White Lotus,” particularly as a result of “Survivor 50” offered the Emmy-winner with some inspiration.

All hail Cirie Fields, the perfect participant to by no means win “Survivor” who repeated historical past in her personal manner … by outsmarting everybody in her path. Although Cirie’s “repeat” wasn’t as soul-crushingly particular as Ozzy or Emily’s, the actual fact of the matter is that Cirie, throughout her earlier 4 stints on “Survivor” and her game-winning activate Season 1 of the American model of “The Traitors,” at all times understands precisely what is going on on. I am going to admit that, partway by way of this episode, I began sweating when Emily Flippen and Rick Devens went for Cirie, and whereas I desperately hope Cirie ekes out the win she so richly deserves, she’s in all probability going to get voted out between now and the finale. No one, and I imply no person, desires to go to a last tribal council with Cirie; you may as effectively write her a examine for $2 million earlier than you even arrive.

Nonetheless, watching Cirie work her magic was a significant spotlight of this chaotic episode. No one in her makeshift tribe of 5 knew that she had an additional vote — gifted to her earlier within the season by, of all folks, Ozzy! — and despite the fact that Emily tried her damndest to persuade Cirie that Devens was going to play his idol on Emily to divert Cirie’s vote, Cirie wasn’t shopping for it.

That is how and why Emily obtained voted off: Cirie used her additional vote, compelled a re-vote due to a tie, and was in a position to successfully punish Emily for making an attempt to do away with her within the first place. Sorry to Emily, however whereas she was repeating historical past in a nasty manner, Cirie was persevering with her custom of being the neatest girl within the jungle. 

“Survivor 50” airs Wednesdays at 8 P.M. EST on CBS.
