However, Maryanne was plotting a much bigger plan - to get Omar, one of the strongest players in the competition, out. She said:“If I don’t make this move, I’m not going to win, and it’s terrifying."Although Maryanne and Omar had a great connection, it came down to what the former was here to win the competition. She then revealed to Mike that she had an extra vote and would be putting both her votes for Omar. Mike had initially planned to vote the same person out but aligned with Romeo.Before the Tribal Council, Maryanne convinced both Mike and Jonathan to vote against Omar. During eliminations, Lindsay had an amulet idol that she could have passed on to Omar to keep him safe. But she was so confident of the duo's alliance that she chose not to play it.In a shocking turn of events, Omar was voted the highest by the Survivor cast and ended up getting eliminated from the competition. The five players moving forward in the finale are Maryanne, Lindsay, Mike, Jonathan, and Romeo.This season of Survivor has given the audience what they want and more.
