With Survivor season 46 here, let's get to know the members of the Survivor season 46 cast, a group that ranges from 22 to 48 years old and comes from all across the United States and one from Canada. Which of them will have what it takes to outwit, outplay and outlast the others for the $1 million prize?
As always, Jeff Probst is back on board to host Survivor season 46, helping to guide the castaways as they deal with immunity and reward challenges and tribal councils. The castaways are also once again heading to Fiji, the place where Survivor has been calling home for many years now. They all will be split up into three tribes of six people at the start of the season, community for immunity as one by one they are voted off the island.
Who remains after the April 24 episode of Survivor season 46? Keep up with everyone that has been eliminated directly below.
Q Burdette
Q is used to competing with a large group, as he was one of 17 kids in his family growing up in Mississippi. Now the 29-year-old real estate agent and former college football player lives in Memphis, Tenn. In the game, he looks to take control early and dictate how the game unfolds.
Charlie Davis
Law student Charlie knows about pain and endurance, as he is an active runner and a walk-on on the Harvard cross country team. With one year left to graduate from law school, Charlie believes this may be the only time in his life where he can take part in something like this. His key strategy: play the game like different Taylor Swift eras (watch out when he's on Reputation mode).
Tiffany Nicole Ervin
As an artist, Tiffany says she has to sell herself as much as she is trying to sell her artwork, but she thinks that'll be an advantage as she competes and forms alliances with her fellow castaways. And despite some initial hesitations about spending an extended period on an island, she has a belief that she can do anything and thinks the experience will only amp that up 10 times.
Maria Gonzalez
With permission from her kids to "lie, cheat and steal" during the game, Maria is ready to go in an experience that she calls a "must" in her life. She certainly has shown she can handle everything, touting that she gave birth to all of her children at home and with no medicine, as well as running three marathons.
Ben Katzman
A musician and guitar teacher from Miami, one of the biggest lessons he has learned is relying on your gut. So that is his approach as he plays the game this season, even if it could lead him to being the first person voted off.
Kenzie Petty
Kenzie's ability to make strong connections with people is what makes her successful in the real world and she believes it'll be just as important on Survivor. Plus, she's fine if you want to underestimate her, she'll use that to her advantage. Ultimately, she's excited to get to play this game for herself to try and make her dreams come true.
Venus Vafa
Venus makes it clear, you shouldn't let her looks fool you, she is ready to play this game. She's fine with letting others thinking the are in charge, but she intends to be the one giving the directions on where things are going. Venus also holds dear her Iranian heritages, noting her parents' courage to immigrate to Canada and Iranian women's fights for rights being motivators to accomplish great things.
Liz Wilcox
Having already created three businesses and a personal brand, Liz knows how to take action. However, she says that when she saw a casting opportunity and thought she could do well on the show, her daughter asked if she was going to just talk about it or do it. Now she's on the island and hoping to succeed in the game.
Who's been eliminated on Survivor season 46
David "Jelinsky" Jelinsky (Yanu)
Jelinsky described himself as a "legend" in the first episode of Survivor season 46. The rest of his Yanu tribe members clearly thought he was a weak link as his effort was questionable in then challenges. Time will tell if Jelinsky's brief stay was enough to make him a Survivor legend (tough ask).
Jessica "Jess" Chong (Yanu)
Jess attempted to get her fellow Yanu tribemates to go after Kenzie, whose strong social game could make her dangerous later on. When that didn't work, she attempted to use an idol she found to ensure she sticks around with another week, but unfortunately the idol is fake (fashioned by Kenize) and offers her no protection. That led to her being officially voted off the island.
Randen Montalvo (Nami)
Despite Yanu losing a third straight immunity challenge and Bhanu all but certain he was going to be voted out at the next tribal council, they were all granted a stay of elimination as Randen had to removed from the game for medical reasons. Survivor doctors revealed that a bulging disc in his neck could require surgery and further medical attention was needed.
Bhanu Gopal (Yanu)
Bhanu got a stay of execution in after a medical emergency saved Yanu from voting out their third player in as many episodes, but the tribe's bad luck continued as they lost their fourth straight immunity challenge. And just as Bhanun predicted back in episode 3, he was the target and was ultimately voted off the island.
Jemila "Jem" Hussain-Adams (Siga)
At long last, someone from a tribe other than Yanu has been eliminated, as Siga's first trip to tribal council saw them vote out Jem. After their first loss, Jem managed to find a hidden immunity idol and was busy working her tribemates to put herself in the best position, but as Probst said, tribal council can often bring blindsides. With Jem opting not to play her idol, four votes go against her and she is ousted from the game.
Moriah Gaynor
Moriah was the first castaway voted as a result of the merged tribes, but the second straight person voted off for began in Siga, as others are hoping to chip away at the group that has boasted they are "Siga strong" the entire season.
Tim Spicer
Tim had some confidence going into his last tribal council with this +1 allegiance that he helped orchestrate. However, as is common in Survivor, the best laid plans don't always work out. His reluctance to go with where others were thinking ultimately made him the target and the next person voted off.
Soda Thompson
A second surprising elimination in the April 10 episode of Survivor was Soda, who became the target of Tevin and Venus and was unable to maneuver her way to safety.
Tevin Davis
After claiming to be then mastermind behind Soda's surprising exit then previous week, Tevin became the one to see his time on the island end.
Hunter McKnight
Hunter had been racking up immunity challenge wins to help him stay in the game, but when he finally lost one and became vulnerable, his fellow tribemates didn't want to give him the chance to redeem himself and keep smoothing through tribal councils, voting him out.
Survivor season 46 airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on CBS. Its stream on-demand on Paramount Plus the next day.
