On Night 5 of the Survivor game, the Tuku tribe voted out TK, a 31-year-old athlete marketing manager from Prince George's County, MD, who currently resides in Upper Marlboro, MD, in a 4-2 vote instead of Sue Smey, a 59-year-old flight school owner from Kirkwood, NY, who currently resides in Putnam Valley, NY, at Tribal Council.

"It was a great move, I mean, I can't be mad at it!" TK said following his ouster.

"I felt like I had some really good connections, but maybe my personality was a little too ripe. Me showing a lot of emotion at the end of that challenge put some more fingers towards me, but if they don't value winning, they don't value winning."

TK added, "And obviously based on this decision, they don't value winning much. I'm just excited for what's going to happen in the future, because this proves to me there's nothing I'll be afraid of in life."

The Survivor broadcast began on Day 4 following Jon Lovett's elimination.

The Gata Tribe, wearing yellow, was comprised Anika; Andy, a 31-year-old AI research assistant from Buffalo, NY, who currently resides in Brooklyn, NY; Rachel LaMont, a 34-year-old graphic designer from Dexter, MI, who currently resides in Southfield, MI; Sam Phalen, a 24-year-old sports reporter from Schaumburg, IL, who currently resides in Nashville, TN; and Sierra Wright, a 27-year-old nurse from Wilmington, DE, who currently resides in Phoenixville, PA.

The Lavo Tribe, who were given red buffs, featured Aysha Welch, a 32-year-old IT consultant from DeSoto, TX, who currently resides in Houston, TX; Genevieve Mushaluk, a 33-year-old corporate lawyer from Winnipeg, Manitoba; Rome Cooney, a 30-year-old E-sports commentator from Corvallis, OR, who currently resides in Phoenix, AZ; Kishan Patel, a 28-year-old ER doctor from Fullerton, CA; Solomon "Sol" Yi, a 43-year-old in medical device sales from Del City, OK, who currently resides in Norwalk, CT; and Teeny Chirichillo, a 24-year-old freelance writer from Manahawkin, NJ.

And the Tuku Tribe, wearing blue, was made up of TK; Sue; Caroline Vidmar, a 27-year-old strategy consultant from Palos Verdes, CA, who currently resides in Chicago, IL; Gabe Ortis, a 26-year-old radio show host from Baltimore, MD; Kyle Ostwald, a 31-year-old construction worker from Cheboygan, MI; and Tiyana Hallums, a 27-year-old flight attendant from Aiea, HI.

At Lavo's camp, Rome said it felt great to be winners. The previous night, Rome had dug up a key and opened the box to his "Beware Advantage," and he decided to share his find with someone he could trust: Teeny.

Teeny admitted the whole Survivor tribe had wanted Rome out but now Rome's decision to work with her and trust her was going to change her course of action. Teeny immediately shared the news with Kishan, and then Rome caught the pair looking at his box together.

Rome immediately lost trust in Teeny and was "disappointed" to discover his hidden Immunity Idol was only going to be good for one Tribal Council. Rome decided to "play it safe" and not to complete another task in order to make the idol last longer.

Meanwhile, TK shared how Kyle was his No. 1 ally and he trusted his life with that guy.  Gabe had also been a part of their alliance, but TK acknowledged how Gabe was playing an "erratic" game.

TK therefore tried to "lock down" Tiyana and Kyle as his Top 3 in Survivor 47, and Tiyana said she was onboard as long as TK didn't try to form a bromance with her on the outs of it.

"Kyle is someone I think I could really lean on in this game," Tiyana confirmed.

Over at the Gata beach on Day 4, Andy was happy to have survived Tribal Council, and he viewed his position in the game as an amazing opportunity for recovery and revival. Andy felt included in his tribe, and he noted how social dynamics were improving for him.

The tribe admitted they were putting a lot of effort into making Andy feel safe and welcome, and Anika -- who has experience with dating apps -- shared how Andy needed words of affirmation and he was "giving toxic, clingy boyfriend" vibes.

Sam attempted to get on Andy's good side in case he'd need him as a number down the road, but he was basically just babysitting his Survivor tribemate. When Sam had to leave his side to go to the bathroom, Andy went off looking for an idol or advantage -- and he found something!

Andy found a "Beware Advantage" and decided to leave it in the tree and not open it. Andy wanted to open it when the timing was better, and so he decided to put it back where he had found it.

Sam and Anika ended up finding the "Beware Advantage" Andy had left behind, and the Survivor duo were glad that Andy wasn't going to have any power.

Sam and Anika dug up a map and sprinted to a location where they discovered a rope that had about 300 knots that needed to be undone.

"I'm going to have to find the time to come back and complete this later, but Anika being there with me is a nightmare!" Sam lamented in a confessional.

"I don't want to have a secret with Anika that I'm not telling Sierra. Sierra is my No. 1 and I don't want her ever thinking I am withholding a major piece of information from her."

Sam therefore shared the news of his "Beware Advantage" with Sierra, and knowing that Anika would probably run and tell Rachel about their find, Sam talked about the advantage with Rachel as well in order to buddy up with her and not make it look like he was lying to her or didn't trust her.

When Andy returned to the tree to retrieve his Survivor advantage, it was gone. He therefore told Sam that one of the girls had found his "Beware Advantage," and this was music to Sam's ears because he could blame other people and not become a target in Andy's eyes.

"This is starting to make me feel like I can actually trust Andy moving forward," Sam noted.

At Lavo's camp on Day 4, Kishan made fire and Rome was rubbing people the wrong way with his "cocky" stories, according to Teeny. Kishan's tribemates seemed annoyed with his constant chatter and "Michael Jackson moves."

Teeny said if Rome didn't have a Survivor idol, he'd be an easy first boot. Teeny therefore predicted Rome staying in the game was "going to be a problem" for her.

Meanwhile, the Tuku tribe was discussing which castaway should go next in the case of an Immunity Challenge loss. TK pitched the idea of targeting Sue, but Gabe wanted to work with Sue and Caroline instead of the others.

"These are wounded birds, and I want to bring these birds in! People who are on the bottom feel desperate!" Gabe explained in a confessional.

Gabe therefore told the Survivor ladies about his idol in order to establish trust and loyalty.

TK proceeded to annoy Sue by talking when she was trying to sleep on the beach. Sue thought he lacked respect, and she found the conversation very frustrating. Tiyana also noted that she wasn't vibing with TK as a person even though they were in an alliance together.

Meanwhile, Sam and Sierra unlocked the box that unleashed Sam's hidden Immunity Idol that would be good for only one Tribal Council. If Sam chose to take on another task, he could make the idol good for three Tribal Councils.

Sam, thinking he and Sierra would need the Survivor idol sooner rather than later, decided to take it and not many any more risks in the near future. Sam said he was trying to think a couple of steps ahead, and so he pitched the idol of using his idol to protect Andy.

"I don't like the idea of working with Andy. I think he is unpredictable. But if Sam is pulling Andy's way, then I'm sticking with Sam," Sierra explained to the Survivor cameras.

On Day 5, the three tribes met Survivor host Jeff Probst for the second Immunity Challenge of the season.

Jeff instructed each tribe to jump into the ocean, race to a tower, retrieve a large bag of rice, and then work together to get that bag of rice through a very small hole and onto the shore, where one person would stand behind a cage door and maneuver a key through a maze.

Once a tribe had their key, they'd unlock a a door, tear open the bag of rice, and retrieve a ball. Three tribe members would then attempt to maneuver that ball through a winding snake trap.

The first two tribes to finish would win immunity and receive fishing gear. The first tribe to finish would receive a larger fishing kit than the second-place tribe.

The losing tribe would have a date with Jeff at Tribal Council that night, where the second castaway would be voted out of the Survivor game. That tribe would also lose its flint.

Aysha and Sue sat out of the challenge to even up the numbers.

In the end, Gata won immunity and Lavo finished in second place, sending Tuku to Tribal Council.

During the challenge, Rachel put rice in her pockets and Jeff eventually called her out on it. Jeff said he respected the try but she wouldn't be able to return to camp with it.

"That's funny! That's a first Rachel," Jeff announced.

Before Tuku returned to camp, TK complained to Jeff about how he was "genuinely pissed off" and there were "way too many smiles" in his tribe after losing the challenge.

"I'm just not used to losing. I don't hang with people who are cool with losing, and I don't even associate myself with that. If I lose, I'm not going to be happy about it, and I just want to make sure I have a tribe that has the same mindset."

TK added in his rant, "If we don't, then that's a problem." 

Gabe and Sue could see Tiyana rolling her eyes at everything TK had said, and so this gave Gabe and Sue a renewed sense of hope that maybe Tiyana wasn't in so tight with the guys after all.

Gabe predicted that Tiyana may vote emotionally because TK had pissed her off for not taking accountability for the tribe's loss. Tiyana believed that TK was "on his high horse" and had essentially called them all losers.

Kyle tried to mend ties between Tiyana and TK, who confronted Tiyana about how she was feeling. TK told Tiyana that he wanted her to come to him if she ever had a problem with him, but Tiyana was still "a little bit annoyed with his ego."

Tiyana had a difficult decision to make, however, because TK performed well in challenges. She acknowledged how Sue was a weaker member of the tribe and seemed to be "fizzling out on Day 5."

Kyle, TK and Tiyana therefore discussed voting out Sue. TK thought the trio was locked in and that he could convince Gabe to do anything he wanted. But Gabe was working with the ladies and considered playing his idol for Sue.

"TK feels extremely secure right now, which will make this quite a blindside if we can pull it off," Gabe told the Survivor cameras, before trying to lock Tiyana in as his fourth with Sue and Caroline.

Caroline didn't want the vote to end up being a tie, because then they'd have to draw rocks. Caroline and Sue therefore worked hard to rope Tiyana in with them to take out TK.

"It would be an epic boss girl move," Sue boasted.

Tiyana, however, explained how she didn't want to blindside Kyle because it would be very difficult to repair their relationship as a betrayal. Tiyana found it challenging to be in the middle of two alliances, and she recognized this was going to be a game-changing move for her.

"They have put their faith in me," Tiyana told the Survivor cameras. "It would absolutely make sense for me to vote for Sue tonight because TK has strength on his side, but I don't want to work with someone who I feel disrespected me."

Tiyana added in a confessional, "It's really this tossup between emotion and strategy. I can only hope that my gut is right and I'm trusting the right people in this game."

At Tribal Council on Night 5 of the game, TK called Sue out for not initiating deep conversation with her tribemates, and there was a clear division in the tribe. Caroline also called Gabe out for searching for idols and advantages.

Gabe didn't deny the fact he liked exploring the island and being "Indiana Jones" for a little bit. Gabe was wearing his heart on his sleeve and wasn't shy to be enthusiastic about playing this game.

It then became time to vote and Sue and Gabe were shown writing TK's name down.

Before Jeff tallied the votes and read them aloud, Gabe played his hidden Immunity Idol for himself.

Jeff then read the votes in the following order: Sue, TK, Sue, TK, TK, and TK.

"Wow," TK said with a big smile. "No worries, no worries. Hold it down y'all!"

The episode's closing credits later showed that only TK and Kyle voted for Sue.
