Survivor 48, Episode 9 recap
The April 23 episode began with the castaways returning to their beach.
People chatted about what went down, and Shauhin Davari was confused about why Chrissy went after him, since he wasn’t in the “muscle” alliance.
Kamilla Karthigesu was also frustrated with David after she learned he was out to get her.
Would David soon turn on Kyle since Kyle hesitated to vote out Kamilla?
Eva’s gone — Day 16 (night)
Eva had to sneak out of camp on the night of Day 16. Shauhin had figured out what might happen.
After Eva snuck out, Shauhin woke up Joe Hunter. “Eva’s gone,” he told her.
Shauhin went back to his hammock as Eva traversed through the jungle.
Eva found a bonfire with clues. She was awarded an Extra Vote, but could risk it to get something better.
She risked her Extra Vote to try to attain Safety Without Power. She succeeded.
Eva now has an Individual Immunity Idol and a Safety Without Power. With two advantages, she could control the game.
In the morning, she told Joe, Kyle, and Shauhin. Kyle later told Kamilla.
Tension at camp
David was upset with Joe, Kamilla and Kyle were upset with David, and Eva was caught in between.
Tensions were mounting as the Immunity Challenge approached, with people on edge about what might happen next.

Ham and cheese wraps, crackers, juices, soda, and desserts were on the line.
Oh, and so was Individual Immunity.

Star Tooney was out in seconds. Mary was out soon after. Then Kamilla and Mitch were out. Four people were done in less than a minute.
Eva was fifth out. Shauhin was sixth out. Joe, Kyle, and David were battling for the Immunity Necklace again.

Joe picked Mitch Guerra, Eva, and Shauhin to enjoy the reward with him.
