Survivor season 48's latest segment, released on April 2, 2025, saw Sai secure an advantage before the castaways participated in the season's first individual immunity challenge at the merge. As Charity neared victory, Sai suddenly emerged out of the woods and outpaced her.

When the castaways received a sign for the advantage, Star read the message written on it.

"Some will feast, some will not, and only one will be immune... hidden somewhere is an advantage to help. Be the first to find it. Go!" it said.

The advantage allowed Sai to skip the team round of the immunity challenge and head straight into the individual endurance section. Moreover, she received a pass to enjoy the merge feast along with the winners of the first round of the immunity challenge.

Sai entered the endurance challenge with the winners of the first round — Mary, Chrissy, Kamilla, Kyle, David, and Star — but lost after failing to balance a ball on a block. Kyle outlasted his contenders and became the first winner of individual immunity.

Survivor fans on X commented on Sai overtaking Charity during their footrace to the challenge advantage. While some praised Sai, many were surprised to see her come out of the woods. One netizen even said her run was a "LeBron move," a reference to American basketball player LeBron James' gameplay.

After Sai rejoined the rest of the Survivor castaways at the beach, she did not waste much time before listing all the food she and the other winners enjoyed at the merge feast. While she spoke, most of her co-stars on the losing team listened silently.

"We had pineapple, cantaloupe, we had pomegranate, which I tore up. Chips with salsa, nachos, hot wings, mozzarella sticks, soda," she said.

Meanwhile, Shaunhin exclaimed that he wanted a mozzarella stick. In another scene, while speaking to Mitch and Charity from a hammock, Sai added items to the list, mentioning brownies, cookies, chocolate chips, and orange soda.

Hearing that, an upset Mitch said, "Well, I'm so glad that you won, okay?" while Sai chuckled, reminiscing about her victory.

At the Survivor feast, the winners also discussed strategies, deliberating which contestants to target for the Tribal Council. Star pitched Charity's name and asked Kyle if he would be okay with that. He answered that he was comfortable with the plan because the game was no longer tribe versus tribe.

Soon after, they spoke about Eva having an immunity idol and Mitch holding a block-a-vote advantage. However, Star, who handed the idol to Eva, pretended not to know anything about it.

Meanwhile, at camp, the contestants planned to target Sai. At the Tribal Council, Sai received the second-highest number of votes, sending Charity home.


Survivor season 48 continues every Wednesday at 8 pm ET only on CBS.
