Following a strong eleventh episode that sent home both show legend Ozzy Lusth and Emily Flippen, Survivor 50 returned Wednesday night with the penultimate installment of the show’s most anticipated season yet. Including spoilers for who was voted out, let’s recap Survivor 50 Episode 12: Inconceivable.

Survivor 50 Episode 12 Recap

The Idol Hunting Babysitter

Back on the beach, Cirie was left reeling after finding out about a) the Ozzy blindside and b) the fact that he had laid out his entire plan to Aubry like a Bond villain. Meanwhile, Jonathan paraded around the beach boasting about how he orchestrated the Ozzy blindside. As one would expect, Aubry (who really played the most pivotal role in the move alongside Rizo) took notice, seemingly adding another name to her list of threats to eliminate. After a slow start to the game, the ultra strategist started to pick up some momentum.

The next morning, Devens began one of his classic idol hunts, with Jonathan (quite literally) on his tail. In a surprising twist, we witnessed a rare Joe-Devens bonding moment, as the former put aside their beef momentarily to comfort Rick, who was left emotional given his failure in the idol search and current standing within the tribe.

We were then treated to a very early immunity challenge in the form of a Survivor balance block classic. With his back potentially against the wall, Devens came up short, as Joe earned immunity and a trip to the final six.

The Man, The Myth, The Dilemma

At the reward, Rizo openly pondered whether he should play his idol just to be safe, or risk holding onto it. While a RIZGOD blindside didn’t appear to be a real possibility, back on the beach Tiffany started throwing it around in an attempt to flush said idol. The vote had some supporters, but Cirie and Aubry had reasons to keep Rizo around.

We were then treated to an early tribal council, signaling that two players will be going home in this penultimate episode. Rick openly declared his imminent exit, while Rizo acknowledged hearing his name thrown around. Finally, it was time to vote to see if Devens’ demise was truly a ruse. Before the votes were read, Devens played his shot in the dark… unsuccessfully. Ultimately, Rick became the first person eliminated in Survivor 50 Episode 12.
