Savana Schraeder

**Savana Schraeder** was a contestant on Survivor: Summer Solstice.

Despite a strong start, some early hardships weakened Savana and Tribe Susu, causing her early demise.

## Survivor: Summer Solstice

Savana began her game on Tribe Susu with newbies Aaron, Allie, Mike and returnees Connor and Kyle. At camp, Savana was taken aback by Connor's quick hunt for the hidden immunity idol, believing they should be getting to know each other first, and bonded with Allie. At the first immunity challenge, Savana did her part fast, surprising many, but it was Mike who made them fall behind as Susu lost. At camp, with Connor away, Savana listened to Mike's talks of voting out the weakest before suggesting Connor for his early idol hunt, to which they agreed and disagreed. This simple suggestion made others weary though, as an angry Aaron wanted to vote her for bringing up Connor. In private, Savana worried she was being targeted due to her not looking as physically strong as the others but was confident in her strategic game and thought they were still doing good as a team in the "team game" at that point. Savana chatted more with her tribe, expressing the importance of the social game. Later, Mike pulled Savana aside to speak to her about voting Allie, stating it was coming down to the women and he was campaigning for her to stay over Allie, and Savana agreed to this as they went back to Allie and Kyle, with Savana talking about her perspective of the post-merge gameplay. At Tribal Council, Savana continued these talks as Christian Davis, their host, told them the merge was not coming soon. Savana voted for Allie, who went to Redemption Island as Mike's second vote confused Savana.

At the next challenge, Savana's struggles caused Susu to lose immunity by a large margin. As a storm overtook the game, the contestants were taken to shelter in a common location, and she talked to Aaron and the camera and stated that the game became personal and that she was not strong enough but how it was okay, with Aaron looking somewhat annoyed at her responses. At camp, Savana discussed the last vote with her tribe and was shocked when Kyle revealed he voted Mike. In private, Savana said that she did not know who to vote for since she could not vote herself, which she only wanted to do to avoid her bringing down her tribe's games and hoped it was her so they could do better and wished for more time to search for idols and advantages. During this time, At Tribal Council, Savana correctly predicted her demise as, despite her vote for Connor, she was voted out in a 2-1-1-1 vote, sending her to Redemption Island.

When the opportunity came, Savana put her best foot forward on Redemption Island to try to earn her spot back in the game. However, Savana was unsuccessful, losing to Allie, thus, ending her game. Savana would officially place 12th out of 12th.
