The castaways have one last chance to outwin and outrun each other to secure a spot for themselves in the season finale. Who will be the ones making it to the end?

Maryanne is coming across as a strong contender for this game. One fan tweeted:

Hosted by Jeff Probst, the Survivor journey for this season started with 18 contestants on the beautiful islands of Fiji, where they gave their all to win challenges, find advantages, form alliances, and play mind games to move ahead in the competition. After a long run, only six players remain to showcase their absolute best and see who can be the last one standing to claim the coveted title.

As soon as Linsay told Mike about her amulet idol, the latter played things safe by relaying the same information to Jonathan and Maryanne. It came as a big shock to both people, but Maryanne already has an idol which causes her to finally play her game and strategize to get stronger players like Omar and Lindsay.

Check out what fans think of Maryanne's game below.


What to expect from Episode 12 of Survivor?

Episode 12 will witness the contestants fight hard for their survival in the game, whether it be performing in the individual challenges or forming any kind of alliance to keep themselves safe for one more day on the Survivor island.

The series has set its bar really high this season by introducing a significant number of surprises along the way, adding to more drama than in previous seasons.

The stakes have been higher since the tribes were merged into one almost five weeks ago. Since then, it has been a constant struggle for the contestants to do whatever they can to manage to stay back and not get voted out by fellow contestants. The last few Tribal Councils have seen very dramatic and unexpected turns, and this week isn't going to make it any easier.

Viewers will see the castaways employ different strategies to prove their worth in the competition. The six contestants competing to "outwin and outlast" are Maryanne, Romeo, Jonathan, Lindsay, Mike, and Omar.

Jonathan will try to break his fellow Taku tribe players Maryanne, Omar, and Lindsay, although it has been the only tribe to have had a maximum number of players reach the semi-finals. However, fellow member Lindsay is bent on axing him out and tries to talk others into the same.

Now that Mike's immunity idol is with Omar, it will be interesting to see how their alliance pans out. Lindsay will be playing her amulet idol, as it expires after this stage of the competition. Maryanne, too, is planning a big game, and viewers will get to witness the power of her advantages that the other castaways are unaware of.


Viewers can expect some interesting twists and turns in this episode. Survivor has always promised sufficient drama for its fans, and this week will surely not disappoint. Among the six ambitious players giving it their best, who will be the next castaway to be eliminated? Keep watching to find out.
