The Traitors Season 3, Episode 11 Recap: Who Took Home the Money?

It all comes down to this! After weeks of betrayals, murders, and iconic fashion statements, Season 3 of The Traitors has come to a close. Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened, and Season 3 gave us an ending unlike anything we’ve ever seen on this show.

The penultimate episode ended on a major cliffhanger, with Danielle and Ivar at risk of getting banished. Plus, Alan was still sitting on the secret about who won the power of the Seer. They had a lot of business to attend to in this finale.

In The Traitors Season 3, Episode 11, “The Day of Reckoning Is Upon Us,” Alan ushered the remaining players into the final phase of the competition. With an unknown number of Traitors left in the game, who will wind up with the money? Keep on reading for the breakdown of everything that went down in The Traitors Season 3 finale.

In The Traitors Season 3 finale, the remaining players made their last attempts to strategize their way to the finish line. One player won the power of the Seer, giving them a major advantage over the game, but was it enough to keep them in the castle? In the end, it all came down to the Fire of Truth!

Last week’s cliffhanger left us at the roundtable with a tie between Danielle and Ivar. Britney had the deciding vote, and we’ve been waiting an entire week to see what happened. It turns out that Britney did what Britney needed to do.

In a stunning move, she revealed that she voted for Danielle, sending the Big Brother alum packing. Finally! Danielle couldn’t believe it, and Britney immediately broke down into tears.

“You did it to me again,” Danielle told Britney, referencing their infamous Big Brother feud.

Danielle went up to the front of the room while Britney sat at the roundtable hyperventilating. Seriously, this might be the most crying we’ve ever seen at the roundtable. The fairytale ending they fantasized about just came crashing down in a matter of minutes.

During Danielle’s exit speech, she went around saying nice things to everyone in the room — except for Britney. Then, she revealed what everyone at home already knew. She’s a Traitor!

In a confessional, Danielle said she felt “stupid” for trusting Britney. In retrospect, she thinks she should have killed her a long time ago. It’s a dramatic departure from the fairytale ending they were fantasizing about last week, but life comes at you fast in the castle.

Who won the power of the Seer?

After Danielle got the boot, and once Britney stopped hyperventilating, Alan reminded the players that there was still some unsettled business. Last week, someone won the power of the Seer and would get to take someone else into a private meeting to get the truth about their identity.

Alan revealed that Britney won the power of the Seer, adding another whirl to her emotional rollercoaster. He immediately pulled her into a secret corridor to prep her for her secret meeting. That’s good news for Britney, but it’s horrible news for the Faithful, who were still gagged over Danielle’s elimination.

How Britney used the power of the seer

Britney wound up picking Gabby for the private sitdown, which she hilariously said felt like a date from The Bachelorette. During the private meeting, Britney learned that Gabby was truly a Faithful. Obviously, she already knew that, and we already knew that. Still, Britney had to figure out how to use this information to her advantage.

The next day at breakfast, the final five assembled, all of them eagerly awaiting to hear about the Seer. In this moment, Britney had two choices. She could lie on Gabby and try to frame her or tell the truth to earn points with the Faithful. She wound up going with the latter.

Obviously. Gabby felt relieved because the poor girl was fully prepared to be framed by Britney. However, this whole twist just added another layer of confusion for the Faithfuls. Luckily, Alan planned an adrenaline-pumping mission to get their minds off it.

The final mission sent the players flying

For the final mission, Alan gave the players a map to find the last bit of gold for the prize pot. With 30 minutes on the clock, the players managed to find the gold and get back to the castle without breaking a sweat. Easy, right? Wrong. Alan revealed that the mission had only just begun.

All of a sudden a helicopter came flying over the castle. He said that to double their money, the players had to get strapped to the helicopter, flown into the sky, and then drop their bags of gold into a giant ring of fire. This felt like something ripped straight out of The Challenge. You know Wes would have loved this. RIP.

Watching the players get flung around on the bottom of a helicopter was a nice break from all the strategy talk and almost as hilarious as the bug challenge from Episode 7. Seriously, never in a million years did we think we’d see Dolores from Real Housewives of New Jersey dangling from a helicopter. Bless this show and all that it has done for us.

A final fight at the roundtable

After the mission, the players went right back into game mode to try to devise their plans for the final roundtable. Britney knew there was heat on her, so she began planting seeds against Dylan. You could see her brain scrambling to try to stay alive in this game, and it’s clear that getting recruited by Danielle at the last minute hurt her endgame.

Ahead of the roundtable, Brit pulled everything out of her arsenal. She told people that Dylan didn’t want to split the money. She tried to make him sound bossy. Anything that Britney could say about Dylan, she said it. Unfortunately for him, she brought that same energy to the roundtable.

Now, it’s no secret that Dylan has struggled at the roundtable a few times this season, and although Britney dragged him, he managed to make a few good points at this last sitdown. Our little Dylan is all grown up.

At the roundtable, he said that he thought Britney was recruited midway through the game, which was correct. He said that he felt like Britney and Danielle were working together, which was also correct. If we didn’t know any better, we’d think he had been tipped off.

When it was time to vote, Dolores said in a confessional that she was going to “finally” vote with her brain. It only took her 11 episodes, but we’re so glad she did. With a 4-1 vote, the Faithful banished Britney at the last minute. The final gamer has left the building.

With tears in her eyes and fire in her heart, Britney exited the castle as the final person banished at the roundtable. But, did they just get out the last Traitor? The remaining players had no clue.

The Fire of Truth

It’s the moment of truth — literally. Alan brought Gabby, Ivar, Dylan, and Dolores out to the Fire of Truth for The Traitors endgame. There, they had the option to keep banishing players or end the game once and for all. In seasons past, this is where dreams got crushed. This season? Not so much.

One by one, the final four players voted to end the game, setting up for the most peaceful and anticlimactic ending to The Traitors you could have ever imagined. Gabby, Ivar, Dylan, and Dolores all walked away splitting the prize pot of $204,300.

Season 3 went to the Faithfuls, and as Dylan pointed out, this was a true underdog story. A Housewife, a Bachelorette, some random dude from the royal family, and Zac Efron’s little brother outsmarted all of Season 3’s gamers. Raise a glass to that!

The Traitors Season 3 is streaming on Peacock.

Southern Hospitality Season 3, Episode 10 Recap: The Finale Prom Goes Wrong

Welcome to Southern Hospitality Season 3 Episode 10, “Guilty Until Proven Innocent,” the Season 3 finale! Last week, Emmy invited the cast to a law school prom for Will. Joe realized he needed to give Maddi space and focus on his own career. Grace took accountability and she and Maddi made up. Michols had a great conversation with his stepdad, who accepted him and his sexuality. When Austin revealed he didn’t hear about the cheating rumors from his girlfriend’s brother, it busted Will’s story wide open. Brad and TJ decided to find out the truth.

This week, the Southern Hospitality cast attends the prom. Brad and TJ start to pierce together the cheating rumors details and timeline. Grace causes a scene when she brings Oisin to prom. When the group tries to confront Will and Emmy about the rumors, their response convinces the others of Will’s guilt. Meanwhile, Will throws in a shocking twist at the end that sets up the Southern Hospitality Season 3 reunion.

The finale is edited like a horror movie, complete with the countdown to prom night. But the cast has another genre on their mind – rom-coms. Or, as Joe says, prom-com. He combines Say Anything … and Love, Actually in his prom proposal to Maddi. After a talk with his mom, he’s backing off the pressure to move in together. Maddi accepts and says she feels like Peyton from One Tree Hill as she climbs into his rented car.

Meanwhile, Michols prom proposes to Preston with cakes. As Preston chooses the one that says “yes,” Michols smashes it in his face like they’re at a wedding. Later, Preston tells Michols he deleted his apps and wants to be exclusive. He doesn’t want to put pressure on Michols since he hasn’t had a relationship yet. But Michols wants to experience those firsts with Preston.

Brad and TJ start to piece out the Will cheating rumors

Just before prom, Brad and TJ decide they want to uncover the truth behind the cheating rumors. Brad sees Emmy as a little sister and worries she’s lost her identity in this relationship. He finds out that another Republic employee knows one of Will’s law school friends. From there, they learn that Will is seen with another girl so much on campus, people think she’s his girlfriend.

Turns out, it’s a girl they’ve heard of before. Will said she was a study partner who had a crush. But Brad got texts claiming she and Will even lived together briefly. TJ later tells Maddi that Will took this girl to his law school prom, which is the party where they allegedly slept together. Going by the timeline, this was just before Will started going to Republic to talk badly about Emmy. Brad and TJ both think Will felt guilty and did that to get out of his relationship.

TJ firmly believes Will cheated. When a producer asks why he gets involved despite Emmy wanting people to stay out, he can’t give a direct answer. But he essentially says he’d hope someone would do the same for him.

It’s the Southern Hospitality prom!

Emmy went all out for the prom, including a photo set, some lavish hors d’oeuvres, and the most popular feature, a full bar. As the party gets underway, Austin shows up solo. He claims that Will called Allie’s brother that day to rant about him allegedly making up the cheating rumors. Which made Allie feel uncomfortable and not want to go. Michols finds it odd that Will would wait until just before the event to do this.

Grace causes a stir

After last week, Maddi defends Grace and insists she has accountability. That blows up in her face when Grace shows up with a group of friends including Oisin. Maddi’s housemate Eva, who had a thing with him, is also at prom.

This doesn’t sit well with Molly. When Grace says she looks great, Molly gives a Han Solo “I know.” When they sit down to talk, Grace says Molly needs to work on her character while Molly calls her a psychopath. Molly is friends with Eva and doesn’t want to talk to Grace because of this. But Grace claims Eva gave her the ok to hook up with him. They pull Maddi over, and Eva joins too. Maddi is horrified that Grace is doing this after expressing that she wanted to make it right with Eva just last week.

Grace yells at Eva that Oisin doesn’t even like her. Maddi tells Grace that Oisin doesn’t like any of them. Grace says she knows this and just used Oisin for sex. She also accuses Maddi of “sucking his d*ck.” Maddi denies this, while Joe pretends not to hear. When Grace says they’re not friends, Maddi initially fights back but eventually agrees. She realizes she can’t defend Grace anymore. Grace is hurt herself, saying she was there for Maddi last year more than Maddi’s been there for her.

Meanwhile, as she talks to him on the couch, Lake gets why the girls like Oisin so much. It’s the accent. She says Austin’s looks, Oisin’s accent, and Joe’s hair would make the perfect man.

It’s time to discuss the cheating allegations

Will admits to texting Allie’s brother. The brother denied starting the rumor. As we know from last week, he wasn’t Austin’s source. Mia suggests Austin and Will talk one-on-one, although with Emmy there too since it does involve her. This is a good idea, but it doesn’t pan out. Instead, the others follow them. This makes Will and Emmy storm off, which they see as a sign of guilt.

Emmy and Will realize which girl they’re talking about, and both brush it off. He claims he let her stay in his place when they were in New York to appear on Watch What Happens Live. Mia doubts this because he’s not the friendly type. But Emmy says she’s not intimidated by this girl at all.

TJ accuses Will of acting like he’s better than everyone. Will theorizes that TJ just needs someone to be mad at, and chose him, and that’s what this is actually about. When TJ gets upset about having Will’s back last year, Will mocks him for crying. TJ says he bets Will did sleep with that girl last year. He tells Emmy that one day Will will f*ck her over. TJ insists he’s not mad at Emmy, he feels bad for her. Brad is more sure than ever that Will cheated. He predicts that Will is never going to marry Emmy.

Emmy is sick of people confronting her at parties “with everyone watching.” Mia says it’s because Emmy refuses to hear anyone out when they try to talk one-on-one. Emmy and Will leave their own prom. As they head out, Emmy claims she knows secrets about the others that could destroy all of them.

Joe and Maddi are Prom King and Queen … but there’s a last-minute twist

Brad announces the King and Queen. When he’s about to announce Queen, Grace shouts out her own name. She’s great TV! But Maddi and Joe win and share a dance. However, things may not be as prom-com as they seem. We cut to footage of Will on a hot mic. He says Emmy has screenshots of something that wasn’t supposed to leave the group. He calls it an atom bomb that will activate Maddi and redeem himself and Emmy. He also says it’ll be perfect for the reunion. Looks like Will’s about to cause some serious drama despite not showing up.

Southern Hospitality is available to stream on Peacock.

Paris Hilton dropped a new set of star-studded photos that were all about glitz and glamour. The socialite undoubtedly had the best time attending the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 2. Hilton’s new recap post comes days after several popular faces stepped out to grace the event hosted by Radhika Jones at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.

Paris Hilton’s Oscars recap features Kim Kardashian and Sofia Richie Grainge

Paris Hilton took to Instagram to share recap photos after attending the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday. The media personality made a dazzling appearance in a super sparkly gown. Hilton wore a stunning crystal-adorned creation from Sophie Couture. The 44-year-old was joined by her husband, Carter Reum, while attending the star-studded event. She also included loved-up photos of the two in her Instagram carousel.

Hilton continued to gush over the occasion, writing in the post’s caption, “Iconic night at the @VanityFair Oscar party.” Although the carousel had a series of glamorous photos of the socialite posing with fellow attendees, she broke up the sequence with solo portraits and clips of herself. Hilton opened the post with a snap of her and Kim Kardashian at the event.

She included stunning photos of herself with Lisa of Blackpink, Lil Nas X, Serena Williams, Chelsea Handler, and Rita Ora. Furthermore, she posed alongside Sofia Richie Grainge, Katie Couric, and Aryna Sabalenka. The singer concluded the carousel with a video of her flaunting her dazzling ensemble. Meanwhile, Hilton’s latest Oscars after-party recap post is packed with users swooning over the icons.

Before this, Paris Hilton showed off moments from the Oscars day in another set of photos. The businesswoman shared a heartwarming post that included several sweet photos of her with her and Reum’s children, Phoenix and London. The little ones were also dressed in stunning outfits to match their mother. Hilton’s daughter, too, wore a sparkly dress. On the other hand, Phoenix looked adorable in his first tuxedo.

Addison Rae Shows How the Southern Girls Do It in Photos

Addison Rae is basking in the success of her latest single, “High Fashion,” and her social media updates are proof. The singer recently shared a few behind-the-scenes photos from the track’s MV, which portrayed a blend of charm and sexiness. The pictures featured the pop star displaying sultry poses in a bra top and jeans with eye-catching additions. Rae is truly one of the Southern girls, offering all things flirty with her glitter-covered photos.

Addison Rae strikes a pose in new Instagram photos

Addison Rae released her hit single “High Fashion” a couple of weeks ago, but the singer has no intention of leaving things high and dry post-release. On Wednesday, she continued to offer a behind-the-scenes look into filming the MV with her fans. The social media star struck some sultry poses, leaving her fans swooning over the photos.

The first picture captured Rae flaunting her toned physique while striking a sexy pose. She wore a white bra top that was accentuated with dangly beaded appliques, giving a water-drop illusion. The singer paired the bra top with denim pants and layered it with a decorated fringe around her waist. Adding a pop of sparkle to her ensemble, she added glitter around her torso, highlighting her belly button piercing. 

The next picture gave a closer look at Rae’s glam. The singer gazed deeply into the cameras as someone from her team applied more glitter to her body. Her sparkly blue eyeshadow and wavy long blonde hair stood out in the photo. Another snap saw the singer dancing in a blue denim ensemble. The final photo captured her lying on the grass with a cameraman holding up a camera too close to her face, possibly for a close-up in the MV.

Addison Rae captioned the post, “Southern girlsssss likeee,” alongside diamond, kisses, and bow emojis. Fans took to the comments section to shower compliments on her look. The pop singer was already a breakout TikTok star but has been creating quite a wave in the music industry as well. Her recently released song, “High Fashion,” has already amassed 2.8 million views on YouTube.

Survivor Season 48, Episode 2 Recap: Humble Traits

Survivor Season 48, Episode 2
Photo Credit: Robert Voets/CBS

Survivor Season 48, Episode 2 is here, after an incredible premiere last week. A brand new bunch of castaways are battling it out for the $1 million prize, and with some early hard gameplay, there was a tragic casualty as the first player was sent packing. Who will take the next great steps on their Survivor journey, and who’s going to come up short this week? Here’s everything important that went down during Survivor Season 48, Episode 2: “Humble Traits.”

What happened during Survivor Season 48, Episode 2?

The game continues in Survivor Season 48, Episode 2, as Mary faces an uphill battle after voting for Sai. Important conversations are had, and some alliances are set. Others meanwhile, seem close to crumbling. There’s a lot going on, and with nearly everybody confident, somebody’s game is going to come crashing down around them. The surprises are coming early in Season 48! Here are all of the highlights from Survivor 48, Episode 2.

Mary is questioned about her vote back at camp

Survivor Season 48, Episode 2

With Sai picking up a vote from Mary, but Steph sent home, answers are demanded when the Vula tribe returned to camp. “What did Steph say to you that made you feel comfortable voting me?” Sai wondered. “She had been throwing your name out for a while,” came Mary’s response. Sai promised she had “no hard feelings,” but Mary wasn’t convinced. The pair had lied to one another, and the battle lines were drawn. Mary “got got,” but she didn’t “get as got got as Steph did.” Exactly. There’s always a path forward in a game like Survivor.

Over on Civa, the tribemates are bonding over their gross feet. David’s not fazed, though. “We’re family,” he says in confessional, before showing off his four nipples. “Maybe that’s why I like milk so much,” he ponders. Charity points out the imperfections as “humble traits,” which are something God-given to remind you that you’re not perfect. These moments are exactly why Survivor is still going strong, 48 seasons in. It’s real human connection, and laughing over whether or not you have a wart on your hand.

Lagi’s conversations are a little more game-focused. They’re in it to win it. “I think the thing that’s making us a step above everybody else is we’re not basing our individual goals over the team,” Eva says. They’re confident that they can continue to avoid tribal council, but Star’s rubbed the wrong way when Eva suggests she could be the sit-out at the challenge. So, Star goes out to look for both firewood, and an advantage. She’s not confident that anybody wants to work with her. “My concern is that I’m disposable.” It must feel real crappy to have those thoughts just three days in.

Star lands the Beware Advantage

Poking through a tree stump, Star comes across the Beware Advantage, and opens it up to grab the puzzle lock. It’s a different one to the cracked puzzle we saw Sai solve, probably to stop cross-tribe communication. Honestly, it looks a lot more complicated, and I’m not even going to try and explain it here.

Star feels the same, and goes to Joe for help. He suggests she bring somebody else in so they can form an alliance. While it looks like he’s with her, he’s actually doing this to build trust with the castmates he’s already aligned with. Shauhin is one of them, and he takes the puzzle guide from Star, who agrees to go and distract the rest of the tribe. Like a bullet from a gun, Shauhin rushes to figure out the code. Unfortunately for him, he’s making mistakes. Deciding to slow down and look at all his options, he leaves the puzzle in Star’s hands, for now.

Later, Star goes to Thomas to talk game. He’s stunned, and says it’s something he’s been waiting for. “I’m gaining allies minute by minute,” Star says in confessional. “I’m using this Beware Advantage to build trust.” I’m not entirely sure telling nearly the entire tribe separately about that is the wisest idea, though. Bianca says the admission “changes everything,” and Star is pitching Eva to both her and Thomas.

In a chat with Shauhin, Thomas suggests the puzzle go missing. It’s a high level of villainy, and it has Shauhin scared. “That is way too hard a gameplay … I’m not doing that.” Sad. I always want villainy to rule.

Star wants Eva out, and Joe is stuck. Everyone thinks he’s on their side. He’s in a lose-lose situation.

Joe pulls Eva aside to let her in on Star’s secret

Unsure what to do next, Joe pulls Eva aside. They bonded quickly at the start of this game, and seemed like instant ride-or-dies. He tells Eva that Star “found an Idol,” which isn’t exactly true, but he later corrects himself. “She’s the only person that I don’t have a good connection with on this beach,” Eva says. Now, the mission seems to be to make sure Star doesn’t complete her mission and find the Idol; instead, they want her to come to tribal council without her vote.

At Vula, flies are causing chaos. They even attack Justin mid-confessional. “It’s a mess. We don’t know who to listen to, who’s in charge, who’s running the show,” he admits. But does every tribe need a leader, or can they simply work things out while they’re all on an equal footing?

Kevin, Justin, and Cedrek walk the beach to talk about Sai and Mary. Kevin thinks Sai is the biggest threat. “She’s very influential,” he says. If Sai goes home, then her idol goes back into the game. “To me, the math is mathing.”

Now, it’s time for another twist. One person on each tribe must go on a journey. On the count of three, every player must hold out between one and five fingers. The player holding out the repeat lowest number wins the chance to go on the journey. So if you don’t want to go, you may as well put out a six.

Thomas, Mitch, and Mary are chosen, but not without controversy. Sai’s whining, because she won the practice round, but they then went ahead with a regular round. That’s the point of a practice, Sai! But editors did do you dirty with that armpit sniff.

What happened on the journey in Survivor 48, Episode 2?

The journey offers the three castmates the chance to earn an advantage. There’s a puzzle either side of the beach, and one in the jungle. Each must go in a different direction. The guys take the beach, and Mary heads into the jungle.

The puzzle is the same for each player. They must rearrange blocks in order from 1-15. Only one block can be removed and added at any time, and there’s a timer involved. If they finish within the time limit, they gain the advantage. Any who fail will lose their vote at their next tribal council. It seems like a pretty simple puzzle, but with the pressure turned up, minds are racing.

Mitch is first to complete the challenge, followed by Thomas. Sadly, Mary’s unable to finish up. The guys’ advantages? It’s a Steal a Vote for Thomas, with a Vote Blocker granted to Mitch. It leads me to wonder, just which advantage was awaiting Mary? Perhaps an Extra Vote?

Returning to her tribe, Mary tells the truth. She says she has no vote, and feels it’s a “death sentence.” Sai has no sympathy. Thomas lies, and plans to “not tell a soul.” He thinks Star is the “perfect example of telling too many people” about an advantage. On his tribe, Mitch comes clean. His tribemates are ecstatic. The vibes are good on the Civa tribe!

Chatting with Charity, Mitch solidifies their allyship. But David notices, and doesn’t trust the pair. “I like Mitch … but he’s playing hard. He’s playing hard like Charity, which is why I think they’re together,” David says to the rest of the tribe. He wants to go Beware Advantage hunting, and the rest of his alliance agree.

Kyle finds the Beware Advantage

With David right next to him, Kyle finds the Beware Advantage in a tree. They open it up, and inside is a riddle, surrounded by the animal symbols David spotted early in the game. Kyle wants to tell Kamilla and Chrissy, so that all four can help in decoding the puzzle lock. He even hands the puzzle lock directly to video game fanatic Kamilla.

“Trust is so hard to find out here, and that was an insane display of trust,” Kamilla says. She and Kyle are fully locked in. Eventually, Kamilla cracks the code thanks to the letters she and her alliance had found earlier on. She hands the contents of the puzzle lock back to Kyle, and he officially bags himself an Immunity Idol.

Now, on Day 5, it’s time for the next reward and immunity challenge. But it’s the important conversation between Mitch and host Jeff Probst I want to highlight here. He asks if, when Mitch is struggling to finish his sentence, he would like help from whoever he’s conversing with. Mitch explains that in an ideal world, people will “hang in there” and allow him to do it himself. So, people, if you ever find yourself chatting to someone with a speech impediment, be patient. While you might want to be helpful, you could lean into patronizing and belittling behavior.

The challenge itself will grant two tribes immunity. The first to finish get a huge fishing kit, and the second will receive a smaller fishing kit. Star and Kamilla are sit outs, and the challenge is on. It’s incredibly physical AND in the water; not something I’d love. In the end, Civa finish first, with Lagi coming in second, sending Vula back to tribal council.

Is it an easy vote for “sitting duck” Mary?

Sai feels bad that Cedrek couldn’t pull it out at the challenge. Still, she wants to take a shot at “sitting duck” Mary. Back at camp, Cedrek gets emotional. “I take most responsibility for the loss,” he says. “I also understand if it were very clear I should go tonight.” But he’s not giving up.

“I don’t care if you flop at every challenge,” Kevin tells Cedrek. “This challenge doesn’t change anything. It has to be Sai tonight, because she has an Idol. If it’s not gonna be this time, if Mary goes out today, then we are toast next time.” He has a point. The Idol either needs flushing this time around, or Sai blindsided, if the guys’ alliance is to survive the tribe’s potential third tribal council. A Shot in the Dark could throw a spanner in the works at this hypothetical tribal, but that’s a worry for later in the game.

Kevin takes Mary aside and promises to “do some magic here.” Her heart is sinking, but he assures her to “chill.” Her fate is in his hands, but will he be able to pull it off? Not if Cedrek’s heart takes over his head. He trusts Sai more than Mary, and wants to keep Sai around.

Speaking with Sai, Cedrek asks if she can “conceal” her emotions. “You need to play your Idol tonight,” he tells her. “Justin, Kevin and myself have talked. We’re voting for you,” he admits. “[But] I’m still gonna vote Mary. You vote Mary, if you play your Idol, Mary goes home.” Sai likes being viewed as a threat, and will “deal with Kevin later.” She’s now planting seeds about Kevin to everyone who will listen. As she says, “let the games begin.”

Justin thinks making a move against Kevin now is a good idea

Speaking with Cedrek, Justin proposes a “big swing.” Kevin can vote Sai, Sai can vote Mary, and the two of them can vote Kevin. This would send Kevin home, as Mary doesn’t have a vote. But are they willing to make that big move so early on?

At tribal, Sai quickly throws some shade at Kevin. He made a joke about their alliance of four being outed, and Sai took it as a serious comment. It’s a weird vibe, but understandable after what Sai learned from Cedrek. I have to wonder if he’s regretting letting her in on the information; she’s allowing some of her emotions to take over.

“If you can’t even trust the people you’re working with, who can you trust?” Sai says to Jeff. If Kevin can read between the lines, he should know that he’s in danger.

“It’s not an issue of personality; it’s an issue of trust. And in this game, if it’s an issue of trust, you can’t solve that other than eliminating the threat,” Mary tells Jeff when he asks if she and Sai could fix their relationship in the game. These two will never be allies. Now, t’s time to vote.

Kevin Leung was the second person voted out of Survivor Season 48, in Episode 2, by a vote of 3-0.

Sai played her Idol for herself, which meant that the one vote against her, by Kevin, was negated. Mary didn’t have a vote.

Last week, I thought Kevin was going to be one of our frontrunners. He seemed to have a smart head on his shoulders, but it seems overplaying this early on came to bite him in the butt. It’s a shame, and I definitely think he’s someone who should get another shot in the future.

Survivor continues Wednesdays at 8/7c on CBS.

Mikey Madison’s latest photos showed her enjoying a much-needed time off following the awards season and her Best Actress Oscars win for “Anora.” Back in LA, she looked super casual in a jumper, joggers, and sneakers for a relaxing break with her brothers in the company of their adorable dog at the SunCafe Organic in Studio City. Backgrid’s pictures also marked her first outing since her massive victory at the 97th Academy Awards and an ideal work-life balance scenario.

Mikey Madison treated herself to some quality time with family and her dog in new LA photos after her Best Actress win at this year’s Oscar. After weeks of attending awards ceremonies and witnessing huge victories, Madison showed how to do work-life balance right, stepping out in the sunny city with her brothers and their furry friend. Backgrid just dropped photos of her taking a wholesome stroll on the street on Monday afternoon following her win over the weekend, looking quite comfy.

In the snaps, the “Anora” actor wore a beige sweater, which she paired with green joggers and white sneakers. She also carried one of Saint Laurent’s iconic shoulder bags and a pet sling carrying her tiny dog. Additionally, Madison donned oval-shaped black sunnies and styled her black tresses into a slightly messy bun. The agency also mentioned that they spotted her with her twin brother, Miles, and younger brother, Holden, along with the pupper, at SunCafe Organic in Studio City.

Mikey Madison’s LA photos showed her time away from the spotlight as she enjoyed her break after a happening weekend filled with glitz and glam. Contrary to her time off appearance, which was quite basic, the Oscar-winner stunned on Sunday’s red carpet in a pink and black strapless Dior gown. Her outfit oozed elegance, making her Academy Awards debut all the more iconic.

The glossy strapless black dress came with a snakeskin texture and body-hugging fit. The floor-length piece also featured a tiered mermaid skirt and an asymmetrical hemline, adorned with a series of subtle slits to add a flowy touch. Besides that, Kardashian also added her twist and ditched the gloves seen in the runway look.

Furthermore, the SKIMS co-founder matched her nails to coordinate with the monochrome look. Kardashian rocked a dramatic set of long black manicures. Apart from this, she pulled her hair back in a sleek bun and rocked her signature glam to round off the look. Stylist Dani Levi was behind curating Kardashian’s ensembles for multiple Oscar celebratory events this year.

The carousel has amassed almost half a million likes at the time of writing.
