TV Survivor 47 cast reveal bold predictions for the season Some of them have already been proven right… and wrong. By Dalton Ross Dalton Ross California Dreams was better than Saved by the Bell. There, I said it. EW's editorial guidelines Published on October 2, 2024 10:30AM EDT Half the fun of watching Survivor is trying to figure out what is going to happen next. But why should viewers have all the fun? That’s why we asked the Survivor 47 cast just days before filming began to make some bold predictions for what was going to happen on their season. And guess what? Some of them are already right! And some of them are already wrong! Check out the bold predictions from the contestants below and see who is still in contention for the highly-coveted season 47 Nostradamus award. 01 of 18 Andy Rueda 'Survivor 47' contestant Andy Rueda. Robert Voets/CBS Marooning, day 1. Swap, day 8. Mergatory, day 12. Split Tribal, day 14. Loved ones letters reward challenge, day 18. New camp, night 23.... But in all seriousness, I predict that the Inheritance Advantage comes back and someone uses it to great effect. 02 of 18 Caroline Vidmar 'Survivor 47' contestant Caroline Vidmar. Robert Voets/CBS It's time for a two-tribe season. Fans like me want it, and on the On Fire podcast, Jeff said they haven't ruled it out for the new era. I'm feeling pretty confident now is the time. 03 of 18 Rome Cooney 'Survivor 47' contestant Rome Cooney. Robert Voets/CBS Season 47 will break the record for most played idols ever. The greatest lie in Survivor history will be told this season. 04 of 18 Tiyana Hallums 'Survivor 47' contestant Tiyana Hallums. Robert Voets/CBS I think that this will be the return of family visits! I don’t know why, but Jeff kinda alluded to something like that on the On Fire podcast, and I really hope it's true! 05 of 18 Gabe Ortis 'Survivor 47' contestant Gabe Ortis. Robert Voets/CBS First new era perfect game. 06 of 18 Rachel LaMont 'Survivor 47' contestant Rachel LaMont. Robert Voets/CBS Oooh… how about everyone in the final three receives at least one vote? 07 of 18 Kishan Patel 'Survivor 47' contestant Kishan Patel. Robert Voets/CBS Tripe swap? 08 of 18 Genevieve Mushaluk 'Survivor 47' contestant Genevieve Mushaluk. Robert Voets/CBS I'm going to find an idol and play it correctly. Might not sound bold, but have you seen Survivor 46?! (No shade, sorry!) 09 of 18 Kyle Ostwald 'Survivor 47' contestant Kyle Ostwald. Robert Voets/CBS There is going to be a day 1 ride-or-die alliance. The alliance will be made up of two or three players equal in strength and ability, making for one heck of a brawl for the final title of Sole Survivor! 10 of 18 Aysha Welch 'Survivor 47' contestant Aysha Welch. Robert Voets/CBS I predict a guy will be voted out first. 11 of 18 Sam Phelan 'Survivor 47' contestant Sam Phelan. Robert Voets/CBS There will be two successful idol plays, one in Mergatory. This group won't make same mistakes as Survivor 46. 12 of 18 Anika Dhar 'Survivor 47' contestant Anika Dhar. Robert Voets/CBS This might just be me manifesting... but my bold prediction is that season 47 is the season that family visits come back. I’m crossing my lingers for this one! 13 of 18 Solomon “Sol” Yi 'Survivor 47' contestant Solomon 'Sol' Yi. Robert Voets/CBS Nobody will go home with an Idol in their pocket. 14 of 18 Sue Smey 'Survivor 47' contestant Sue Smey. Robert Voets/CBS I will be the oldest women to ever win Survivor. 15 of 18 Jon Lovett 'Survivor 47' contestant Jon Lovett. Robert Voets/CBS Someone plays an idol correctly? (Now I’ve guaranteed it won’t be me.) 16 of 18 Teeny Chirichillo 'Survivor 47' contestant Teeny Chirichillo. Robert Voets/CBS Two tribes. I think any outlandish, absurd twists and advantages I could come up with pale in the boldness of predicting a return to two tribes of a people. 17 of 18 Terran “TK” Foster 'Survivor 47' contestant Terran 'TK' Foster. Robert Voets/CBS That I will be Sole Survivor! 18 of 18 Sierra Wright 'Survivor 47' contestant Sierra Wright. Robert Voets/CBS Might be a hot take, but Sierra Wright will become your next Sole Survivor. Hey, I don’t know, but sounds right to me!
