'Survivor' Season 48: Everything We Know So Far (Including When It Premieres)
Mike Bloom   Nov 14, 2024

Quote

Survivor 48 was announced as part of CBS' midseason line-up on Nov. 13, 2024. It will kick off with a two-hour premiere on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025.
*  *  *
Survivor 48 will continue to air 90-minute episodes, a permanent change for the show starting in Season 45. While first instituted to fill time due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the longer episodes have been one of the most positively received changes of the past few years, encouraging the network to keep the longer episodes.

There’s going to be a swap this season and it looks like Shauhin gets swapped to green.  
 

https://www.reddit.com/r/SpoiledSurvivor/s/R6dzrbKPry

Also not entirely sure what’s going on with Star but apparently she tweeted (then deleted) being left out of a group chat post-season with her fellow tribe mates, and there was a shot of the other 5 Lagi members standing around a bonfire on their beach on day 6 but Star was MIA from that.  If there is a swap coming up and she survives until then I hope that can potentially save her and break up the Lagi tribe a little.

AN UNEXPECTED TWIST FOR THE CASTAWAYS SENDS THE TRAJECTORY OF THEIR GAMES IN AN ALL-NEW DIRECTION, ON “SURVIVOR,” WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19

“The House Party’s Over” – An unexpected twist for the castaways sends the trajectory of their games into an all-new direction. An undercover alliance in the losing tribe leads to a shocking tribal council on SURVIVOR, Wednesday, March 19 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.

So the new tribes next week are believed to be:

Vula: Joe, Thomas, Shaulin, Kamilla, Kyle (3 former Lagi/2 former Civa)

Civa: Mitch, Chrissy, Sai, Cedrek, Bianca (2 Civa, 2 former Vula, 1 former Lagi)

Lagi: Star, Eva, Charity, David, Mary (2 Lagi, 2 former Civa, 1 former Vula)

Star has the Beware Advantage, but hasn’t found the idol yet and currently has no vote.  Thomas has a steal-a-vote that no one currently knows about, and Kyle has an idol and Kamilla an extra vote that both know about.    

Based on a promo that has a sound bite that sounds like final words to some posters on Reddit and Sucks, it looks like Kyle might be the one getting his torch snuffed this week :(. If so, he and Kamilla really got screwed, even with his idol and her advantage.  The other two tribes have some interesting dynamics at least but those 2 wound up on a new tribe in the minority with a 3-person alliance against them.  But hoping this isn’t what people think it is.

That is a hell of a lot of luck that the California Girls all end up together.

Sounds like Bianca and Mary are better off being swing votes between the two sides on their new tribes.

Preposterous.  With the strength of a whopping four men and Kamilla (who's no slouch herself), there's no chance in hell that nuVula should lose.  I don't buy it.  NuLagi, with four women, is way more likely to lose this week.

I don’t know how much stock I put into the soundbite but I think people were basing this off press photos as well.  However, I did see a theory on Sucks and Reddit that could explain why Vula loses, and that is the California alliance throws the challenge.  Which would actually make sense to explain their loss, as Joe may be concerned for Eva (whose only OG tribe member with her is Star, someone who was out to get her and who may end up having an idol at that point).  Some people think Thomas might be trying to protect Bianca too but I’m not so sure he’d care enough to throw the challenge for her.  Since Civa’s the only other tribe that has all its members in tact, the guys may take advantage of getting their numbers down.

 

The episode description could point to this undercover alliance being the California Gurls, as they are the only real alliance in tact in this swap.  But I know something else could form too with the other tribes.

Since Eva was shown struggling in the preview for next week’s challenge, many people think the adversaries coming together are her and Star (but it could be a few others I guess).  

We saw in the preview too it looked like the new Lagi members were trying to help Star figure out her advantage, so she still hasn’t found that either.  But if they lose I wonder if this could change anything from Star being a potential target to it shifting to Charity (who David wants out).

 

ETA: here’s a link from Reddit to one of the promos for next week that acts like this will be a Survivor first and an emotional moment (I think this points to Eva struggling big time in the challenge).  But we’ll see.

So there’s some speculation on Reddit, based on press photos, that Civa loses the challenge this week (they had photos taken at their camp post-IC).  If that’s the case, I wonder if they throw the challenge or if Eva’s moment is going to be more exaggerated.  There was quite a bit of focus on Civa in the previews at the end of last weeks episode that point towards Sai.  I’m curious if Bianca not having a vote will get found out or if she’s going to try and pretend until TC she’s with a side.  Could be her that goes home, her edit hasn’t had much to it outside of aligning with Thomas and with him gone maybe her story is done.  I also see some people thinking Chrissy could go.
