🔥 Quick Facts:
- Jason Treul voted out in Episode 5 on Oct. 22, 2025
- Original Hina member surrounded by 4 new Uli faces after swap
- Unanimous elimination vote against Jason
- Started as replacement alternate just 12 hours before game began

What Happened at Tribal Council
Survivor 49 viewers watched Jason get voted out unanimously. The Hina tribe made the decision at tribal council during Episode 5. Nate Moore and Savannah Louie led the charge against him.
After the tribe swap, Jason stayed on Hina beach. But he found himself surrounded by former Uli members. He felt completely isolated from his new tribe. His original alliance crumbled instantly.
“I feel a little screwed,” Jason told The Post about his elimination. He struggled with having little control over his fate.
Jason voted for Rizo at tribal council. But everyone else voted for him. The move came after Hina lost immunity again. Matt Williams survived the previous tribal council voting.
His Journey from Alternate to Elimination
Jason Treul had a unique path into the game. He was originally the male alternate for Survivor 49. Suddenly, just 12 hours before filming began, he got the call.
Production informed him he’d be competing. The shock was real. Jason barely had time to process. But he stepped up ready to play.
In the early days, his original tribe Hina kept winning challenges. Jason didn’t need strategy right away. The tribe enjoyed comfort and safety. Then Episode 4 changed everything.
| Jason’s Survivor Journey | Details |
|---|---|
| Casting Status | Male alternate, called 12 hours before game |
| Original Tribe | Hina (yellow buff tribe) |
| Voted Out | Day 10, tribal council Episode 5 |
| Elimination Vote | Unanimous (all votes against him) |
| Game Position | 5th person voted out of season |
Why the Tribe Swap Doomed Jason
The tribe swap hit Jason hard. Originally, his winning streak kept him safe. But Episode 4 brought massive changes. Hina reformed with mostly new faces.
Jason was the last original Hina member left. He faced 4 brand new tribe members from the old Uli tribe. The numbers game was against him instantly.
Alliance lines had already been drawn. The Uli majority played together. Jason couldn’t break into their established bonds. He tried to adapt but felt the outsider label.
His position weakened when Hina lost the immunity challenge again. Jessica “MC” Chukwujekwu and Nate completed a sandbag journey challenge. No advantages were found despite their search efforts.
What Came Before His Exit
Before tribal council, Sage Ahrens-Nichols and Shannon Fairweather turned on each other. The two started as soul sisters. Now they’re enemies.
Shannon approached people about cross-tribe alliances. She indicated willingness to vote out Sage. Meanwhile, Sage felt Shannon was playing too hard too early.
- Shannon gaming hard with multiple tribe members daily
- Sage noticing artificial personality shifts from Shannon
- Jason caught in the middle without real allies
- Old Uli members coordinating across tribes
- Tribal council was never close — solidarity voting
What Happens Next in Survivor 49?
Survivor 49 continues with 12 players remaining. Jeff Probst will host the next tribal council. Watch for more alliance shifts.
Who will be voted out next? Will Sage and Shannon‘s feud explode? Can anyone break the Uli majority? The intensity is ramping up now.
