Little Miss Cheerleader

**Little Miss Cheerleader** is the fourth episode of *Survivor 41.*

## Story

Returning to camp, the Luvu tribe is in good spirits except for Erika, who is heartbroken over Heather's departure from the game. Sitting on the beach, she talks about her hopes to provide good representation for little girls like her, wanting to fight farther in the game for that. While Erika is out, Danny, Deshawn, and Sydney re-emphasize their allegiance to one another, hoping to work together as powerful three for the rest of the game.

Then, the next morning, Danny and Deshawn go to treemail and finds a letter saying that each tribe must vote for whoever they believe has the most tribe spirit. Each tribe spends considerable time deciding who they will pick, and then they each cast their votes secretly. The votes aren't revealed until the tribes arrive at what at first seems to be a Reward challenge. However, it is actually a swap, schoolyard pick style, and those who won the vote will be team captains. Danny and Genie were voted most spirited due to always talking about sticking Luvu or Ua strong. Meanwhile, Xander won for being the biggest cheerleader for Yase at challenges. Thus, a schoolyard pick begins, and once it is over, the three new tribes have formed.

On new Luvu, JD and Sara are relieved to be together, as they have a Final 2 and are hopeful they can survive to the merge. Meanwhile, Tiffany is elated to be off the bottom of Yase, feeling confident she has a chance to shake up the game with three new people and Evvie, who was friendly with her on Yase. This leaves Danny, who assumes a leadership role on the tribe, showing them around camp and becoming friends with everyone. Things are a little more tense on new Ua, as Shan immediately sets to work trying to gather people to join her, namely Liana and Erika who she sees as the perfect people to turn against Genie. Meanwhile, Genie is upset to be separated from Brad and her other Ua allies, but is happy to be with Abraham. They confirm they will look out for each other, and Genie reveals to Abraham all the shady things Shan has done in the game. Abraham goes and tells Liana this, leaving Liana conflicted but safe for now. Erika is just excited for a new shuffled-up game. Finally, on new Yase, Sydney and Deshawn are happy to still be together, and they begin bonding with everyone else in hopes of finding more allies to join their group. All strong competitors, the tribe gets along well, although Xander paints Voce in a more negative light since they were on opposite sides on Yase.

At the first Immunity Challenge after the swap, Luvu struggles to keep up, losing the challenge due to Tiffany and Sara being unable to support the heavy chest. No one on the tribe rests for a moment, with Tiffany and Sara being pitted against one another after their poor challenge performance. JD and Sara go for Tiffany, seeing her as an outspoken weak link and wanting to get rid of a Yase, since Yase still has all six members. Meanwhile, Evvie pledges to work with Tiffany, wanting to stick Yase strong for now unless there are no other options. They target Sara as the weaker and quieter between her and JD. This leaves Danny as the swing vote between the two sides. While he gets along well with Tiffany on a personal level, Danny makes an instant connection with JD and decides to vote with him. Danny also sees the merit to strengthening the tribe while taking Yase down one in numbers. Thus, at Tribal Council, Tiffany is voted out in a 3-2 vote.
