Welcome to Season 46’s Next Time On Survivor weekly feature on the Inside Survivor site! If you’re new around here, I’m Steph from sunny, tropical, humid Singapore. This is a tiny space where I give my best attempts at understanding preview trailers and make my predictions for the show’s next episodes. The NTOS trailer starts off pretty exciting. As the players are looking for Hunter around camp, we realise he’s hiding up a tree. It’s the return of Tony Vlachos’ spy nest!

But maybe this episode will deliver despite the less optimal format. On the newly named Nuinui Tribe, Venus is livid about the one vote she got. And she’s ready to point finge ..read more

With Moriah on the outs, the rest of Siga is quick to comfort her and secure their solid five. After all, they didn’t write her name down, so she was never actually in danger, right?

Siga and Yanu head off to Nami’s beach while Hunter scrambles to find the key ..read more
