Episode 11 of Survivor season 47 aired on Wednesday, November 27, 2024. It delivered high-stakes drama as the remaining players fought to secure their place in the game. With only eight contestants left, alliances shifted, new strategies emerged, and the stakes grew higher.
The episode featured an advantage-earning journey, a suspenseful immunity challenge, and a critical Tribal Council decision. By the end of the night, Kyle Ostwald was eliminated, and his strong performance and likability made him a major threat to the remaining players.
Who was eliminated in Survivor season 47 episode 11
Kyle Ostwald was voted out during episode 11 of Survivor season 47 at a pivotal Tribal Council. Known for his strong physical abilities, Kyle had won four Immunity Challenges over the course of the season, making him a significant competitor. Additionally, his narrative of overcoming personal challenges added to his perceived threat level among the remaining contestants.
Kyle’s elimination resulted from the strategic formation of the “underdog alliance,” a group of five players who united to shift the balance of power in the game. The alliance identified Kyle as a major obstacle to their individual paths to the finale due to his competitive record and strategic positioning.
Kyle was left vulnerable after failing to win this week’s immunity challenge, which allowed the underdog alliance to solidify their plan and secure enough votes to eliminate him. His departure marked a key turning point in the season, as the alliance's move disrupted the game's existing dynamics and set a new course for the remaining contestants.
Highlights of Survivor season 47 episode 11
Rachel LaMont was chosen to embark on a journey during this episode. She faced a time-sensitive puzzle challenge involving weights dropping into the ocean. Successfully completing the task, she earned an advantage that allows her to block another player’s vote at a future Tribal Council, valid until the final six.
She came back to the campsite and told them that she had lost a vote without sharing the extent of the advantage she took with any member outside her innermost circle. The move guaranteed that her ultimate targets didn't know how much she was gaining in power.
The immunity challenge required contestants to balance a wobbly platform while stacking letter tiles to spell "immunity." The challenge proved difficult, with several players losing their stacks before completing the word. Rachel secured the win after a competitive round, ensuring her safety at the upcoming Tribal Council.
