Survivor winner Savannah Louie didn’t sweep the jury vote during 49’s Final Tribal Council, but she went in as the heavy favorite and wound up winning the major prize money in relatively comfortable fashion, despite a terrific last-minute performance from Sophi. Because of all that success, you’d think she’d head into Survivor 50 with the same game plan, but let the record show, that is not the case. She went in focused on making one key change, and I think it was definitely a wise move.
Throughout Survivor 49, several players repeatedly referred to Savannah in confessionals as a mean girl. She had a close alliance with Rizo and Sophi, but outside of those Tres Leches partners, she didn’t really build close relationships with anyone else in the game. Some found her to be too intense. Others felt she wasn’t interested in getting to know them on a personal level.
