We’re deep into the 50th season of Survivor and traders think two contestants are likely to be eliminated at tonight’s Tribal Council.
The market for Episode 8’s elimination shows Benjamin “Coach” Wade’s odds of leaving priced at 82%, while Chrissy Hofbeck is at 92%. Traders also price Christian Hubicki in a distant third at 25%.
What will Jeff Probst say?
Traders are also trying to predict what could be in store for tonight’s episode by trading on what Jeff Probst might say.
Probst currently has a 61% chance of saying the word “puzzle,” indicating there might be a puzzle challenge in store for the contestants. “Immunity idol” is running at 58% and “trust” trails at 25%.
What did Coach do?
It looks like Coach didn’t have the easiest time on the island, even if he evaded one of the biggest Tribal Councils in the show’s history.
Entertainment Weekly’s Dalton Ross wrote in his recap that Coach and Dee Valladares, who was voted out with eight votes last week, got into a fight that was later joined by Jonathan Young. Dee told Ross that she was “shocked at Jonathan” for instigating a fight he had nothing to do with in the first place.
“At the same time, I’m not shocked because I always knew he didn’t have a brain,” Dee said to EW.
Coach tried to defend himself, telling his fellow players, “If anybody out there wants to run around and tell lies and play that kind of way in Survivor 50, they ain’t winning the game. That’s a fact! Vote me out tonight, there will be hell to pay.”
What did Chrissy do?
Things were relatively uneventful for Chrissy during the last episode.
The EW recap reported that she and Coach got into “another puzzle showdown” with Christian and Emily. So her market odds may reflect potential payback for the challenge showdown.
Vulture’s Brian Moylan wrote in his recap that Dee told everyone she planned to vote for Chrissy before betraying everyone’s trust and casting a vote for Kamilla. It may have put some ideas into the remaining contestants’ heads that Chrissy should be the next one to go.
