‘Survivor’ sends home 2 more players: Who made the final 5?

The finale of Survivor 50 is less than a week away, and who among the show’s fan favorites will take home the crown is anyone’s guess. The supersized version of the hit reality show saw the return of a whopping 24 players from previous games, all hoping to outwit, outplay and outlast their competitors.

This season, titled Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans, began with the group divided into three tribes of eight members each. The players entered the island well aware of one another’s approach to gameplay (with the exception of the Season 49 competitors, who played back-to-back games) and with many preconceived ideas about their fellow competitors. That includes who they want booted ASAP.

Last week, Emily Flippen was sent to the jury after being unable to persuade her tribemates to join her voting scheme. Then, this week, two people went home: Rick Devens and Cirie Fields, leaving just five players remaining: Aubry Bracco, Joseph “Joe” Hunter, Jonathan Young, Rizo Velovic and Tiffany Ervin.

As Survivor heads into its finale, here’s a rundown of all the players — including those whose torches got snuffed out.

The Cila Tribe

Rick Devens — ELIMINATED

Previous season: Edge of Extinction

Though he played only one season of the show, Devens is deeply rooted in the Survivor fandom as host of the show’s official podcast, On Fire. Alas, he didn’t make it to the final five and headed to the jury on Day 22 of Survivor 50.

Jenna Lewis-Dougherty — ELIMINATED

Previous seasons: Borneo, All-Stars

Lewis-Dougherty was a part of the first season of Survivor, in 2000, becoming the second tribal council member when she exited the game in eighth place. She returned for the show’s All-Stars season in 2004, when she finished in third place.

Alas, she wasn’t so lucky on Survivor this time around and was eliminated at the first tribal council of the season.

Cirie Fields — ELIMINATED

Previous seasons: Panama, Micronesia, Heroes vs. Villains, Game Changers

Prior to the current season of Survivor, Fields appeared on four seasons of the U.S. version. Last year she represented her home country on Australian Survivor. Fields, however, has yet to earn the title of Sole Survivor.

“Cirie scares me because she’s so good,” Jonathan Young told the Hollywood Reporter. “She’s like a mom out here. Everybody respects Cirie, but I think everybody fears Cirie.”

Unfortunately for Fields, she didn’t make it into the final five and went home on Day 23.

Emily Flippen — ELIMINATED

Previous season: Season 45

Flippen, a financial analyst, came in seventh place during her sole Survivor game. She told the Hollywood Reporter she’s concerned about the brawnier players, such as Young, who tend to be protected early on.

Ultimately, Flippen was sent home on the 21st day of the 50th season — the same day she left the competition in Season 45.

Christian Hubicki — ELIMINATED

Previous season: David vs. Goliath 

Hubicki, who placed seventh on his season, is a robotics professor and once recited his master’s thesis during an immunity challenge to stay focused. He became the 13th person voted out on Survivor’s 50th season, and the fourth member of the jury.

Joe Hunter

Previous season: Survivor 48

Hunter, who went viral for assisting fellow player Eva Erickson during an autistic “episode” on her season, finished third after playing a compassionate game.

Savannah Louie — ELIMINATED

Louie is one of the few Sole Survivors competing this season, having taken home the $1 million prize on the 49th season. She is also one of the two players this season to play back-to-back games, something that could be an advantage to her.

Wade told the Hollywood Reporter that he doesn’t have a “good vibe” from the two Season 49 players for that reason. “I don’t know them, but I’m having flashbacks of Russell [Hantz] and how he came into Heroes vs. Villains and nobody knew how he played and he lied to us,” Wade said. “I have a fear of the two new players because they know all of us, and none of us know how they play.”

Louie was eliminated from the game during the second week, after failing to secure votes against tribemate Ozzy Lusth.

Ozzy Lusth

Previous seasons: Cook Islands, Micronesia, South Pacific, Game Changers

The strong competitor crushed many physical challenges during his four previous games but lacked some of the other skills necessary to become Sole Survivor — he finished as the runner-up to his first season, which was Cook Islands, and in third place on South Pacific.

The Kalo Tribe

Charlie Davis — ELIMINATED

Previous season: Season 46

Davis, Survivor’s biggest Swiftie, played only once before, having been betrayed by his ally Maria in the final tribal council.

Davis went home in the fifth week of Survivor 50, as did his competitor Keeley.

Tiffany Ervin

Previous season: Season 46

Ervin previously finished in eighth place on Season 46 and previously told Entertainment Weekly she’d love to return to the game before her Season 50 casting was announced.

Chrissy Hofbeck — ELIMINATED

Previous season: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers

Hofbeck was a runner-up on her first season playing Survivor. She took home four different immunity challenges during her run. Her time as a player on Survivor’s 50th season ended in episode eight, when she joined the jury after her elimination.

Kamilla Karthigesu — ELIMINATED

Previous season: Season 48

Karthigesu played just two seasons ago, but she’s back, having previously gotten to the final episode. That season was won by Kyle Fraser, who is also competing on Survivor this season.

Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick told the Hollywood Reporter that Karthigesu is someone who “concerns” her a lot in the game. “She prides herself on lying and likes to lie,” she said, acknowledging that she’s a “huge threat.”

However, Karthigesu wasn’t enough of a threat after all: She went home on the week of April 1 in a surprise three-way elimination.

Dee Valladares — ELIMINATED

Previous season: Season 45

Entrepreneur Valladares took home the Sole Survivor trophy her first time playing, becoming the first Cuban American to earn the win. Her torch was snuffed out on the seventh episode of the 50th season.

Benjamin “Coach” Wade — ELIMINATED

Previous seasons: Tocantins, Heroes vs. Villains, South Pacific

The self-described “Dragon Slayer” and former soccer coach returned to the game for the fourth time. He left the game and joined the jury during the eighth episode of Season 50.

Mike White — ELIMINATED

Previous season: David vs. Goliath 

The writer, director and actor came in second place on the David vs. Goliath season. For anyone concerned that Season 4 of The White Lotus will take a creative dip due to White’s focus on Survivor, he said it’s actually the opposite.

“To be totally honest, it’s one of the appeals of coming here is I need to stop thinking about The White Lotus,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I love it, but I also feel like it’s a fire hose into my mouth of feedback on the show coming up. And I want the next season to be inspired. I want it to really be great and not just trying to fulfill another slot or something. And I think the only way it can be that is if I really get a reset.”

Alas, White was eliminated in the fourth week of the show, after some clever gameplay orchestrated by his previous competitor Christian Hubicki.

Jonathan Young

Previous season: Season 42

The brawny Young — he’s both an athlete and a bodyguard — is back, having previously finished in fourth place on his sole season.

The Vatu Tribe

Angelina Keeley — ELIMINATED

Previous season: David vs. Goliath 

Keeley is one of the three players from Season 37. She appeared in a cameo role on the third season of The White Lotus in Thailand, thanks to her connection to White. Ahead of Season 50, Donaldson revealed to the Hollywood Reporter that he considers Keeley a big threat to the other players.

Alas, Keeley ultimately had her torch snuffed out during the fifth week, one of two players kicked off the island that episode.

Aubry Bracco

Previous seasons: Kaôh Rōng, Game Changers, Edge of Extinction

Bracco, who debuted in the 32nd season, subtitled Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty, used her wit to outplay her competitors throughout her three seasons. She was the runner-up of that initial game but failed to make it as far in her next two attempts.

Q Burdette — ELIMINATED

Previous season: Season 46

Burdette, who fans may remember became the subject of another player’s ire when he took home an Applebee’s reward, brought plenty of charm to the show. Ultimately, he came in sixth place.

Burdette became the third player to go home on Season 50, blindsided after all of his tribe members wrote down his name, with the exception of Burdette’s ally Stephenie LaGrossa.

Colby Donaldson — ELIMINATED

Previous seasons: The Australian Outback, All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains

Donaldson, an early Survivor fan favorite, hasn’t played the game in more than a decade, having come in fifth place — as the last “hero” standing — on Heroes vs. Villains in 2010.

Alas, Donaldson ultimately went home during the surprise “Blood Moon” episode, alongside two of his castmates.

Kyle Fraser — MEDICALLY EVACUATED

Previous season: Season 48

Fraser became Sole Survivor of Season 48, right ahead of his Season 50 competitor Karthigesu. The two had a secret alliance during the game, allowing them both to make it to the end.

While Fraser made it all the way to the very end of the 48th season, he went home in the first episode of Season 50 after suffering an injury.

Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick — ELIMINATED

Previous seasons: Palau, Guatemala, Heroes vs. Villains

Kendrick was the show’s runner-up in Season 11 but wasn’t so lucky her third time playing, as she was booted off early in Heroes vs. Villains — something she admitted she was quite salty about.

Kendrick didn’t make it to the top two her second time playing. She became the 14th player eliminated and the fifth sent to the jury, on day 19 of Survivor’s 50th season.

Genevieve Mushaluk — ELIMINATED

Previous season: Season 47

The corporate lawyer was one of the villains of the 47th season, placing fifth and becoming a jury member. She told Entertainment Weekly she’d happily come back for another season: “You’ve got to say yes because it’s such an adventure,” she said.

Mushaluk did not make it the jury this time around. Instead, she went home during the triple elimination that occurred with the so-called “Blood Moon” surprise.

Rizo Velovic 

Previous season: Season 49

Velovic is playing back-to-back games, with the so-called RizGod coming in fourth place on Season 49.  

Watch Survivor Season 50 on CBS and Paramount+ on Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 8 p.m. ET.
