After eight previous seasons of the “new era,” Survivor 49 players and fans thought they knew what to expect. With 12 players left, they would officially reach the merge, and the individual game would truly kick off. But Jeff Probst and company had something different in mind. Instead, a second tribe swap occurred, putting them back into three tribes. And with only four people in each group, it provided an opportunity for new bonds and old grudges to lead to the first big move of the season.
Shannon Fairweather would be the first to tell anybody that everything happens for a reason. While her Survivor ties ran deep with Boston Rob Mariano as a family friend, the wellness specialist led with a “vibes-forward” mentality. But underneath her calm, meditative persona, there was someone who, despite not going to Tribal Council for the first 12 days, was always eager to make a move.
And the person who created an “AI Jesus” to help her in the game was losing disciples by the day, especially after she threw Sage Ahrens-Nichols under the bus. The second swap put three former Ulis back together, giving them the numbers on paper. But Shannon was eager to dispose of Jawan Pitts in favor of Steven Ramm to bank on her cross-tribal plan. That made the former red tribe members see red. And so while Shannon was ready to “nama-stay” for the next two weeks, they told her, “Gotta go,” turning on their former tribe member.
