Genevieve’s attempts to change alliances fall apart in Survivor season 47
Following the recent tribal council, Genevieve worked to regain her footing in the game by interacting with her fellow castaways in Survivor. She began by apologizing to Andy for previously targeting him, explaining that her goal was to appear less threatening to others.
While she presented herself as cooperative, Genevieve privately admitted that her real intention was to use these interactions to secure her safety. Genevieve also approached Teeny, suggesting they target Rachel by highlighting Rachel’s strength as a competitor who could potentially win the game.
"So, you would vote for Rachel over me, is what you’re saying?" asked Teeny. "I’m not a slam dunk for you if Rachel is there, is what I’m saying," - Genevieve replied
However, this strategy did not go as planned. Teeny viewed Genevieve’s comments as dismissive of her own chances in the competition. Frustrated and feeling overlooked, Teeny aligned with Rachel and Andy to work against Genevieve.
Rachel, already regarded as a strong physical competitor, used this new alliance to strengthen her own game while focusing more on eliminating Genevieve.
These shifting alliances revealed Genevieve's challenges in her attempts to control the game. Instead of gaining allies, her actions created more distrust among the castaways, leaving her in an increasingly weak position as the group prepared for the next tribal council.
Sam wins a reward in Survivor season 47
The Reward Challenge allowed contestants to win an Italian feast and letters from loved ones. The multi-step challenge tested both endurance and strategy. Rachel initially led the competition, but Sam managed to catch up and surpass her in the final moments, securing the win.
In the reward challenge, Sam chose Andy and Genevieve to join him at the sanctuary, a move that raised suspicions among the others. While Andy's inclusion was seen as a strategic choice, Genevieve's selection worried Teeny, who saw it as a potential alliance between Sam and Genevieve. This led Teeny to target Genevieve as a threat. Back at camp, Teeny strengthened her alliance with Rachel and Andy, making Genevieve the main target for the next tribal council.
