As teased in Episode 2, the first tribe swap of Survivor 50 comes in Episode 3, airing on Wednesday, March 11, and CBS has revealed the new groups through photos from the episode.
Cirie and Devens are the only original members of Cila left. Cirie has been separated from her (not so) secret No. 1 ally, Ozzy Lusth. Devens has been separated from his core alliance with Christian and Emily Flippen. Christian and Emily are still together on their new tribe.
Allies Dee and Kamilla are still together, but the third member of their trio, Tiff Ervin, is on another team.
Colby has been separated from his Vatu alliance with Q, Rizo, Stephenie, and Genevieve. Tiff has been pulled away from her trio alliance with Dee and Kamilla. Heroes vs. Villains legendary adversaries Colby and Coach are on the same tribe.
New Vatu
The new Vatu has Stephenie, Ozzy, Emily, Christian, Mike, Q, and Angelina.
This is the only new tribe where some alliances stayed together. There’s Stephenie and Q, and then Emily and Christian. Mike and Angelina were a package deal from the start of the game, so they’re surely going to work together in this grouping. Whether Christian wants to work with them is the big burning question.
Who has advantages in Survivor 50?

Here’s the logline for Survivor 50 Episode 3, “Did You Vote for a Tribe Swap?”: “A foreboding treemail message leaves castaways hungry for information regarding an imminent change. Knowledge is power as the boomerang idols begin to rear their heads within tribes. Then, past mistakes and baggage haunt players in their quest for redemption.”
On Cila, Cirie has an extra vote, which was given to her by Ozzy.
On Kalo, Aubry has the Billie Eilish boomerang idol gifted to her by Christian. She has no idea who sent it to her, and no one else knows that she has it. Colby, meanwhile, lost his vote in a game with Savannah in Episode 1.
On Vatu, Ozzy has the boomerang idol sent to him by Genevieve. He also doesn’t know who sent it to him. He gifted his extra vote from Episode 1 to Cirie, giving her the first advantage of her entire Survivor career. Q does not have a vote, as he “sold” it for a pot and machete on Exile Island with Ozzy in Episode 1.
Devens planted a fake idol clue on the Tribal Council set in Episode 2, with Christian’s help.
