Fans react to Survivor seeing a probable male alliance

At the beginning of this week's episode, Rocksroy spoke to Jonathan and Mike about forming an alliance with all the men remaining in the competition. While the other two agreed, fearing that they may be voted out, Hai and Omar were not on board with the plan.

Omar confessed that he was not in because Rocksroy had never talked strategy with him before, so it felt very selfish. Hai revealed that he didn't want to be a part of the "misogyny club."

Fans criticized Rocsroy for forming a male alliance and applauded Hai and Omar for not giving in. Read on to find out what they have to say:

What to expect from Survivor Season 42 Episode 9

This week's episode of Survivor will challenge the castaways to a whole new level. The host of the show, Jeff Probst, announced during the immunity challenge that there would be two individual immunity necklaces up for grabs, and two players would have to head back home.

Double eliminations have always been scary for the contestants, considering that their plans to vote off one have changed to two, and the chances of alliances breaking will be high. The ten remaining contestants will be divided into two groups of five and head to the Tribal Council with the same teams.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled Game of Chicken, reads:

"One castaway is the last standing in the fight for immunity, earning themselves a spot in the final eight."

Viewers will get to witness a possible alliance among the guys. Also, from a quick sequence in the trailer, it is evident that Maryanne, Tori, Jonathan, Drea, and Lindsay won a reward and are most likely one of the teams going to Tribal together.

In a confessional, Drea says that none of the other castaways are her close allies. However, it doesn't look like she is the one who might be in need of an alliance, considering the amount of power she has in her hand. She won herself a Beware Advantage by sitting out on the challenge last week and now has four advantages to herself, including her amulet, an idol, and an extra vote. It is only a matter of time until she decides what she wants to use.

However, Drea does seem to be in dangerous waters, considering that Tori saw her hand covered in red paint, which happened while unveiling the package. Maryanne and Tori are clear choices for the vote out. The former may or may not play her immunity idol, and the latter has a reputation for resorting to nasty tricks.
