Survivor Season 49 Episode 8: How did MC end up leaving the competition?

The recently released Survivor Season 49 Episode 8 saw many planning and strategic conversations between the participants. After losing the immunity challenge, the old Uli camp took it hard. They talked about their next move to keep their position strong.

Jawan and Sage strategized with Sophie and planned to vote out Rizo. It was because he had a hidden immunity idol. They told him that Sophie would be going home, as that's what they had planned. As a result, they wanted Rizo to use the immunity.

After learning about Sage and Jawan's plan, Rizo went ahead with them. However, he did not know that it was not their original plan. Fellow cast member Sophie had a chat with MC. She told her that she would vote against Jawan. It was in case Rizo would use his immunity.

Things took an unexpected turn when MC shared Sophie's plan with Jawan. His reaction was to target Sophie. Survivor's Sage was worried about Jawan's vote. It was because earlier his plan was to target Rizo. But since he learned about Sophie's plan from MC, he was unsure.

Sophie told Rizo not to use the immunity idol. Later in the episode, there were discussions about targeting MC. Until the Tribal Council, everyone had different strategies and plans. They faced another unexpected moment when the show host announced their division into two groups. It was for the immunity challenge. They knew that the losing team would visit the Tribal Council.

At the Tribal Council, there were many discussions about the challenge and recent division of the tribes. Savannah revealed that she might want to save her vote for later. Sophie and MC shared their sides of why they should stay in the game before the final voting.

They went ahead with the voting with their own strategies in mind. Before that, MC had a private chat with Jawan. Soon, it turned into a conversation, which led to even more confusion and more strategies. One of the tribemates, Savannah, decided not to cast her vote.

The latest Survivor episode ended with MC going home. It happened after the show host revealed the final votes. While Sophie had one vote against her, the rest of the votes were against MC. It meant MC's elimination.

After MC's elimination was announced, Jeff Probst, noted that she was the second member of the jury, joining Nate. He was eliminated last week and joined the Jury by becoming the first member.
