In this week’s “Survivor 47” sneak peek video for Episode 5 (watch above), Teeny Chirichillo returns to the red Lavo camp in full-on “survival mode” following Genevieve Mushaluk‘s big game move to eliminate Kishan Patel. However, Genevieve quickly responds that Teeny is “not at the bottom,” because both Rome Cooney and Solomon “Sol” Yi share that dishonor.
“They both want to work with us and they don’t want to work with each other,” Genevieve declares. And when Teeny explains that Rome doesn’t want to work with her, Genevieve states bluntly, “He’s gonna have no choice.” Remember, this panic is all the direct result of Genevieve flipping the game on its head last week and sending home Kishan because she correctly surmised that he was manipulating people from the middle.
Genevieve, a 33-year-old corporate lawyer from Winnipeg, Manitoba, says in a private confessional, “The idea to vote out Kishan was mine. I knew I had to vote him out. It’s better for my game. He is the player that is the threat that you don’t see until it’s too late. I just couldn’t take that chance.”

Teeny continues on, “I just feel scared about my relationship with Rome. What do I say to him, dude? Because I didn’t come up with that plan [to eliminate Rome]. I was told the plan.” Genevieve replies by saying she was “also” told the plan by Kishan — the insinuation being that you don’t always have to blindly go along with other people’s plans.
The clip wraps up with Genevieve telling the camera, “At this point, I feel good that I’ve done the damage control I need to do with Teeny. And now I have Rome who really trusts me because I tipped him off and saved him from going home tonight. So I think I’m in a good position.” Where do YOU think Genevieve stands in the Lavo tribe?

The fifth episode of “Survivor 47” is titled “The Scales Be Tippin” and will air on Wednesday, October 16 on CBS. As of this writing, 14 people remain in the game, but only one will win the $1 million prize at the end of the season. Have you made your “Survivor” predictions yet?
