Survivor returned to CBS for season 47 on September 18th with the usual 1-million dollars on the line. In this article, we follow the nail-biting drama and update the odds based on what we see on TV. Do note that American betting apps do not currently offer entertainment betting and the odds in this news piece are completely hypothetical.
Recap of Survivor Season 47 Episode 8
The classic Survivor auction returned with a new twist. Instead of everyone receiving the same cash, players scrambled to find bamboo tubes hidden around camp, each containing different amounts of money. Sierra excelled at this, gathering over a thousand dollars, while Andy struggled to find any, ironically benefiting by avoiding the risk of losing his vote at the Tribal council.
The auction featured food items and an immunity idol hidden in Rachel’s fries. Rachel cleverly retrieved the idol, adding to the intrigue as she has now avoided elimination for two weeks running. Immunity challenges followed, with Sue and Kyle emerging as winners. Especially for Kyle who was a +2000 underdog last week, this was an important challenge.
At Tribal Council, a complex voting scenario ensued, leading Rachel to play her shot in the dark, but she held onto her idol and did not use it. After a tie between Sam and Sierra, Sierra cast the deciding vote, sending Sam home in a shocking twist. Sam, who was the 4th favorite to win the show at +800 before this weeks episode will now be the first member of the jury.
Key Takeaways
- The Survivor Auction returned with an exciting twist.

Survivor Season 47 Odds After Episode 8
While strong players like Teeny and Genenieve still lead the pack, Rachel’s tactical intelligence and posession of the hidden idol jump her straight to number 4 at +800 odds. Sierra’s struggle at the tribal council drops her odds down to +1300. Sam is also likely to remember that it was Sierra’s vote that cast her out, further damaging her chances. Finally, Andy’s continued poor form makes him the likeliest candidate for elimination at +2500 underdog to win the grand prize.

Major Line Movements After Episode 8
- Rachel +1750 –> +800
- Andy +1250 –> +2500
- Sierra +800 –> +1300
- Sam +800 –> Eliminated
What Will Happen in Survivor Season 47 Episode 8?
With Gata fractured, the remaining players may consider new alliances, though this could shift as the season progresses. Rachel and Kyle who were big underdogs at +1750 and +2000 have shifted up in our power rankings, which also strenghtens Sol’s position.
Rachel’s possession of a hidden immunity idol, acquired during the auction, could be pivotal. She can now use it to protect herself or an ally which if done at a critcal moment can alter the trajectory of the whole season.
Andy starts to also be in a very bad position. He needs to make big moves or gain immunity, as he is currently looking at being the likeliest person to be voted out next.
Survivor Season 47 Jury
Sam Phalen is currently the first and only member of the Jury which will decide on the winner of the million dollar grand prize at the end of Survivor Season 47.
Who Will Be Eliminated in Survivor Episode 9?
According to our odds, Andy is by far the weakest link and his continued poor performance makes him the top candidate to be eliminated. Kyle got lucky with the immunity in episode 8, but he is still on the chopping block as is Sol, who has made some questionable choices by protecting Rachel.
