After being outnumbered at the tribe swap and experiencing back-to-back challenge losses, there are now only three people left in the Savu tribe: Ori Jean-Charles, Devin Way, and Jelly Loblack. In this Survivor 51 sneak peek video, the remaining members of the Helicopter Alliance prove that laughter truly is the best medicine. Watch the exclusive video above.
One day after voting out Alexis Levine, the decimated Savu tribe fully embraces their RuPaul’s Drag Race personas by walking a pretend runway in the middle of Fiji. Ori even gives himself a drag name: “Chocolate Fantasy.”
Devin tells the camera that Ori is made of “abs and pecs,” with a “Herculean” figure. “So, I decide it’s time to teach him how to model walk.”
The former Grey’s Anatomy actor then instructs Ori, “On a runway, girls walk on one line. Men walk on two. And you’re chest up, face out. You walk like that. You get to the end, you stop, and then the last thing that turns back is your face.” Devin adds, “Glaze your eyes over, like someone’s been talking to you for an hour.”
As the New York personal trainer tries to pull off his first-ever runway walk, Devin reveals in a confessional, “Secretly, I’ve modeled for some of the biggest brands out there. So, I’m giving Ori the real deal. When Ori leaves this place, he is runway ready.”
Ori, Devin, and Jelly initially linked up on Day 1 prior to the players being divided into two original tribes. They dubbed themselves the Helicopter Alliance because a chopper flew overhead at the time they were bonding. The group was split up when Devin and Jelly were placed on Toka, and Ori went over to Savu.
After the swap into three tribes on Day 8, the alliance members wound up on the new Savu camp together. Aaliyah Puglia (ousted on Day 3) was also an original member of the group, while Sharonda Cox (now on Dina tribe) was brought in later.
Since this is the “Open Era” of Survivor, there’s no telling how much longer there will be three tribes left in the game. Common sense dictates there will be another swap or a merge soon, because a tribe of three players is quite a rarity on Survivor.
Episode 6, “I Love Crying,” airs Wednesday night on CBS.
