Who Went Home on Survivor 49 Tonight?
Shannon Fairweather went home tonight on Survivor 49. A big change happened before tribal. With twelve players left most thought it was time for a merge. Instead the show did another tribe swap. Now there are three tribes with four people each.

Shannon was part of the new Uli tribe. She had a close bond with other old Uli members. But she tried to shake up the group. Shannon wanted to vote out Jawan Pitts and keep Steven Ramm. She thought her plan would make things better for her in the long run. But that plan backfired. Her old allies did not like seeing her turn on them. They decided to stick together and chose to send her home.
Shannon did not see it coming. She had experience working with people and sometimes led by being positive. Her social game and plans could not save her this week. She left after the vote.
Another important thing from tonight’s episode: Sophi Balerdi found the "Knowledge is Power" advantage at her camp. This tool lets her ask about another player’s idol or advantage. If they have it she can take it. Right now she knows that ally Rizo Velovic has an idol. It is not clear if she will use her new power or who her target will be.
The episode focused on the fallout from swapping into smaller groups. Old tribal lines did not matter as much now. The twist forced players to think fast about new deals and old friends. The smaller groups made every vote count more. Tonight Shannon tried to play both sides. She made a move but her timing was off. The others felt they had a stronger shot without her. So she became the latest person voted out.
Some fans hoped for a merge tonight. The show surprised everyone by splitting tribes again. Viewers saw a big blindside as the game keeps switching things up each week.
Shannon is now a member of the Survivor jury. For her, the journey ends here. For the others the fight is still on. The dynamics shift each time a new advantage is found or the teams change. Next week the pressure goes up with fewer people left.
People had mixed feelings about this second swap. Some like the changing strategy. Others think it makes the show less predictable. But one thing is for sure. The surprises keep coming this season.
In summary Shannon Fairweather got voted out after trying a cross-tribal strategy. Sophi got a powerful advantage. The game is more open than ever as players adjust to constant twists.
