Survivor Know-It-Alls is back as Rob Cesternino and Stephen Fishbach dig into the latest drama from Survivor 49, week 11.  Rob and Stephen break down why flipping alliances can be risky, and how the struggle for control is more intense than ever.

This episode, the hosts examine each castaway’s critical decisions, focusing on Sage’s loyalty to Jawan and her mission for revenge. They track how Kristina’s gameplay and relationships affect her position, and why Yellow Sophie’s time running the middle finally catches up to her. Rizzo continues to shine with clever idol management, forming consensus votes and sidestepping danger, while Savannah’s strong alliance maintains its grip. Rob and Stephen discuss how new twists like journey-based advantages and “knowledge is power” shape strategy, and why overthinking can lead to missed opportunities.

Rob and Stephen discuss:

– Sage’s passionate campaign to avenge Jawan, leading to an alliance shakeup

– The dangers of being a swing vote and why Yellow Sophie becomes the consensus target

– Insight into Rizzo’s strategy of targeting players in the middle—and how his tight alliance with Savannah grows stronger

– Stephen and Rob’s takes on Kristina’s social moves and whether next week’s 3-3 split is possible

– Key questions about how journey advantages, vote blocks, and knowledge is power may explode in the coming rounds

As the game moves toward the end, new advantage plays and old grudges set up a tense battle for control. Can Rizzo keep dodging bullets, or will Sage’s drive for revenge change the power structure? Will Kristina and Steven find a path forward, or is Savannah’s alliance unstoppable?
