Who Was Voted off of Tonight's Episode of 'Survivor 47'? A Running List of Every Eliminated Castaway

Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for Episode 7 of Survivor 47.

One of the things that makes Survivor so engaging is that it isn't just a game of surviving the wilderness but also about surviving socially and strategically. To win, one has to form (seemingly) genuine connections with fellow players while vying for the million-dollar grand prize.

Each week, at least one person is voted off the island during tribal council. We're keeping a running tally of all of the contestants who were voted off the show. Here's whose torch got snuffed tonight.

Well, the merge was last week, so naturally, only six people could vote and only five people were vulnerable this week. Just when we thought we had safely reached the merge without any “split the tribe into two quasi-tribes” funny business, Season 47 threw us another curveball. For tonight’s Immunity and Reward Challenge, the merged tribe was — you guessed it — split into two teams, only one of which was guaranteed safety from being voted out at Tribal Council.

One of those groups included all five remaining Tuku members and Rachel, so when they became the vulnerable team, the decision was obvious: Vote out Rachel and remain Tuku strong.

Tiyana tried to convince Kyle and Caroline to vote out Gabe in order to keep Tuku’s threat level low. Kyle seemed amenable to the plan, but Caroline wanted to keep Gabe as a shield. Tiyana seemed disappointed but was willing to put her vote on Rachel to keep the peace.

But that plan was thwarted when Sol (from the winning team) found a message allowing him to anonymously send one of the losers an advantage. When it came time vote, Rachel revealed a Safety Without Power Advantage, allowing her to peace out from Tribal Council and leave Tuku behind to duke it out.

Tiyana scrambled to convince Kyle and Caroline once more to vote out Gabe, but was ultimately unsuccessful. She was sent home in tears.

Tonight’s episode featured the fall of the Roman Empire, but we’ll admit we were really uncertain about how everything would play out until the votes were read out.

Following the new version of the Mergatory challenge, Kyle was the only contestant who had Immunity — everyone else was vulnerable. This was terrible news for Rome, who almost immediately put a bad taste in Kyle’s mouth with his weasel-y methods.

But it almost seemed too simple. Everyone agreed to vote out Rome (with a couple of votes put on Andy in case of an Idol or Shot-in-the Dark play). Rome thought everyone agreed to vote out Sol, and so spent his afternoon relaxing and bragging about how good he is at playing Survivor in all of his confessionals.

In fact, Rome was so certain that the vote was going to be for Sol that threw a vote onto Sam just to add one more bit of chaos to the mix, as has been his way. In the end, there were zero votes for Sol. Rome’s Survivor 47 journey may be over, but we’re sure he still has dreams of being Jeff’s protege.

Tonight’s episode was one of highs and lows for Gata. After successfully negotiating a swap of their three chickens for 18 eggs, they very narrowly lost the Immunity Challenge and were sent to Tribal Council.

At camp, Andy played his role of “player on the bottom” perfectly by begging Rachel and Anika to be brought into any plan they had in the works. They fed him a fake plan — as he expected — and told him to vote for Sam.

Little did they know that Andy, Sam, and Sierra have had a top-secret alliance cooking for a while now. While there was some waffling about whether to vote out Anika or Andy (after all, Anika would probably know which side of a saw to use), Sam and Sierra ultimately stuck to the plan they made with Andy to vote out Anika. And thus, we have yet another unsuccessful all-women alliance on Survivor. Goodbye, Breadwinners.

Once again, Lavo lost the Immunity Challenge and was sent back to Tribal Council. With only five people left on their tribe, and considering Rome had a Steal-a-Vote Advantage, the numbers were tight — especially after Teeny lost their vote during a Journey.

Initially, it seemed as though Rome held all the cards. He wanted Sol out and decided that threatening him (or, in his words, giving an ultimatum) was the way to go. Rome told Sol that unless he voted with Rome, he would use his advantage to steal Sol’s vote, thereby making it impossible for Sol to play his Shot In The Dark.

Of course, Rome needed to throw someone under the bus to convince Sol that he was in on a plan rather than at the bottom. Kishan readily offered up Genevieve’s name … and that was ultimately his downfall.

Kishan then tried to orchestrate a 2-2 split that would lead to Rome being voted out. Genevieve seemed totally onboard with that plan until she heard from Rome that Kishan had thrown her name out as the decoy vote.

At Tribal, Rome surprised most of the tribe by playing his Steal-a-Vote Advantage on Kishan, thereby making it so only three people could vote. Sol saw the writing on the wall and voted with Genevieve and Rome against Kishan, who was thoroughly blindsided as his torch was snuffed.

Lavo lost the Immunity Challenge this week and had their first date with Jeff at Tribal Council. Rome — who had an Immunity Idol (good for only one Tribal) and a Steal a Vote (from his Journey) — initially wanted Aysha out, but Teeny was able to convince him to focus on Sol instead.

However, when Teeny and Kishan approached Aysha with the plan to vote out Sol, Aysha balked and said she wanted to vote for Genevieve instead.

In the end, Aysha voted for Genevieve, Teeny voted for Sol, Sol voted for Rome, and the rest of the votes fell on Aysha. (Worth noting: Not a single one of them spelled her name correctly, and Rome’s vote had a poorly drawn map of the continent of Asia on it.)

Tuku lost the Immunity Challenge and was sent to their first Tribal Council of the season. According to TK, the vote was simple: All of the bros (plus Tiyana) would vote out Sue because she “doesn’t bring much to the table.”

But Gabe had other plans. He went to Sue and Caroline and said that because TK had annoyed Tiyana after the challenge, he felt confident that they could get her to vote for TK with them. Both Sue and Caroline also said they were willing to go to rocks in the case of a tie.

At Tribal Council, Gabe made a surprise move and played his Immunity Idol for himself. As it turned out, he didn’t need to — there were zero votes for him. There were, however, four votes for TK: Sue, Caroline, Tiyana, and Gabe banded together to vote him out. We can’t help but wonder: What will happen to the bromance now?

Any fans of Pod Save America who were hoping host Jon Lovett would have a long, marvelous run on Survivor are now surely rethinking those weekly watch parties. Jon was the first contestant in Season 47 to be voted off the island, although he did receive the honor of his quote being pulled for the episode title: "One Glorious and Perfect Episode."

Things went awry for Jon after fellow Gata member Andy had a bit of a meltdown during the first immunity challenge. "My best friend out here is Jon and as they were finishing the puzzle, I was thinking I was gonna throw him under the bus to try to stay," Andy said ... in front of literally everyone playing the game.

While the rest of Gata agreed that Andy may be a liability going forward, his physical strength is still an asset at this early point in the game when it comes to winning challenges. The tribe told Jon they were going to vote for Andy but tell him that Jon was the target to throw him off. Jon didn't fully trust them and tried to pull off a move with Andy and Sam, but he ended up being voted out unanimously.

New episodes of Survivor 47 air on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
