Who went Home on Survivor Tonight?
The player voted out was Jawan Pitts. He is a 28 year old video editor who lives in Los Angeles and started the game on the Uli tribe.
This vote made him the tenth player voted out of the game overall and the fourth person on the jury.

What happened before Tribal?
Going into the episode the main tension sat between a few power players. Names that came up as options were Savannah and Steven as different groups tried to shape the endgame.
Jawan helped push a plan that aimed at Savannah. He felt that enough people were on board so he went into Tribal with a sense of comfort.
At camp there were side talks about how Jawan had his hands in many plans. Some players worried that if he stayed he could flip back and forth between alliances.
That fear slowly turned into a new plan that targeted him instead even while he kept talking about the vote on Savannah.
Idols and twists that shaped the vote
The Tribal Council did not come down to simple numbers. It turned into one of the more complex nights of the season.
Kristina decided to play a hidden immunity idol on Steven. That move protected him from all votes and turned any ballots with his name into zero.
Savannah then used an advantage that gave her an extra vote. That extra slip in the urn helped stack the final count against Jawan.
Because of these moves the voting math changed on the spot. People who expected a split or a different target watched the whole plan flip while Jeff read the votes.
How the votes landed on Jawan?
Once the idols and powers came out the only votes that mattered were the ones not blocked. The majority landed on Jawan and no one played an idol for him. He looked shocked as his name kept coming up. The reaction from the rest of the tribe showed that not everyone knew the real plan.
The blindside worked because a core group agreed in secret to cut him before he could take control of the next rounds.
Some players who had worked with him earlier chose to flip because they felt he had too many connections across the tribe.
Why the tribe chose Jawan?
Jawan had been in the middle of several key votes this season. He helped send home players like MC earlier which proved that he could swing outcomes.
That track record made people see him as dangerous near the final stretch. They worried that a player who could recover from bad spots might sit at the end with a strong case for the million.
There was also social tension from past tribe swaps and camp life. Moments like the earlier Uli camp conflict with Savannah did not fully heal even after the merge.
Old grudges gave rivals one more reason to say this was the right time to take him out.
What this means for the rest of the season?
With Jawan gone the remaining castaways lose a flexible number in the middle. The group that pulled off the blindside now has more control over who reaches the finale.
The move also leaves idols and advantages in a more concentrated set of hands. That can make the next Tribal just as volatile if someone tries a counter strike.
The jury now has another sharp strategist watching from the benches. How Jawan views the later moves could matter a lot when the final votes are cast.
