We started this with six people, there was noise everywhere, people running around, and now just two people. It&#8217;s like we were on a two-person cruise that crashed and now we&#8217;re stranded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A glimmer of hope arrives in the form of a Tree Mail, but even that hope appears to be dashed once Sophi reads the message. \u201cYour tribe is your tribe through good times and bad, as always you must work as one. Today with the right players in the right places, your camp life may improve when you&#8217;re done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d asks Sophi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThat doesn&#8217;t sound like a swap,\u201d Alex concludes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sophi then explains the conundrum in an interview. \u201cSo, this morning I opened Tree Mail, and it gives us a clue as to what&#8217;s in store for today. We&#8217;re expecting a swap. Obviously, there&#8217;s two people on our tribe. What else are we going to do? How are we going to go to a Tribal Council, just us two?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sophi continues to ponder that question, apparently having wiped the memory of <em>Survivor: Palau<\/em> completely from her mind. (Justice for Bobby Jon!)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It seems that <em>Survivor<\/em> challenge producer John Kirhoffer (who writes all the Tree Mail clues) threw just enough confusion into his message to unnerve the last remaining Keles. \u201cTree Mail gives us a clue to another challenge,\u201d continues Sophi. \u201cAnd so we&#8217;re like, are we actually going to have to compete just us two against all of these people? So we were devastated. We&#8217;re like, are you serious? Like, I thought this was like the start of a new beginning, but maybe it&#8217;s the start to the end for one of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"CBS Sophi Balerdi and Alex Moore on 'Survivor 49'\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/JLQNGKQybOqCsafIioVk7w--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/entertainment_weekly_785\/8f8684632972a8e590abaaad5909cb3e\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>CBS<\/p>\n<p> Sophi Balerdi and Alex Moore on &#8216;Survivor 49&#8217;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>Want to be kept up with all things Survivor?
