Survivor Season 48's Kamilla Karthigesu emerged as one of the strongest players in the competition. Despite being in the Top 3 finalists, Kamilla surely left an unforgettable mark with her strategic moves.

Kamilla and Kyle influenced fellow strong contenders, Joe Hunter and Eva Erickson about Shauhin having the immunity idol. They led Joe and Eva believe that Shauhin had the immunity idol and he intended to use it against Joe. As a result, Shauhin was eliminated.

Later, during the Tribal Council, Kamilla ensured to vote against Mitch, as a backup plan in case her and Kyle's story about Shauhin doesn't work. Later on, Shauhin was voted out, and Kamilla already had a streategy for Mitch.

While everyone saw Joe and Eva as the strong alliance and stronger contenders to win, it was, in fact, Kamilla and Kyle who influenced the game with their smart and calculated moves.


Survivor Season 48: Kamilla's calculated risk-taking influenced the game, making her a strong individual player

Initially, viewers might not have thought of Kamilla as a strong-willed strategic player. But as the game advanced towards the finale, fans witnessed unexpected moves and calculated risks from Kamilla, which proved, she and Kyle were one of the most influential players in Survivor Season 48.

It all started when Kamilla and Kyle convinced Joe and Eva that Shauhin was hiding an immunity idol. When they told Eva and Joe about the possibility that Shauhin might be using the immunity against Joe, they were convinced. The deception worked quite well, and they decided to vote out Shauhin. It worked, and Shauhin was eliminated from the game.

While Shauhin received four votes, Kamilla voted for Mitch. She had quite the plan for Mitch, from the beginning, which none of their fellow cast mates suspected. Voting against Mitch might have been one of the calculated moves from Kamilla for the upcoming game. While she and Kyle had already planned Shauhin's elimination, she had her eyes set on Mitch for the next elimination.

After Shauhin's elimination, she and Kyle became one of the strongest alliances in the game. So, what could be the reason behind Kamilla deciding to vote out Mitch? There are a few possibilities. It might be to split the votes during the elimination.

There is another possibility that, in case she had become one of the three finalists, she would have used it as her strategic plan and shared it with the council, earning her points. Some might say Kamilla voting against Mitch was a red flag, while some might see it as a strategic viewpoint.

Later in on Survivor Season 48, after Kamilla won the immunity challenge, it resulted in Mitch's elimination. While Kamilla advanced towards's competition's finale, Mitch was sent to the jury.

However, before the show's finale, Kamilla lost against Eva in the fire-making challenge, and it ended her journey.

Along with that, her time together with Kyle on the show also demonstrated a strong alliance on Survivor Season 48.
