Who was voted off Survivor 39 Episode 12?
Karishma Patel was voted off Survivor on 12/4/2019 by a 5-3 vote. A member of the merge tribe Lumuwaku, Karishma found herself at the bottom throughout a majority of the game. She found a hidden immunity idol in the merge. Karishma played her idol on day 30, negating 7 votes against her. She was voted out on day 32 after a “live tribal” in which Dean revealed their plan to blindside Tommy.
Exit interview with Karishma Patel on RHAP
Rob and Karishma discuss what happened at the “live” Tribal Council and her strategy for dealing with it. Rob also asks Karishma about her relationship with her husband and how it was portrayed on the show. Karishma reveals how her life has changed since Survivor: Island of the Idols. They also talk about Karishma’s idol play, why she voted out Missy, what it was like to play with Noura, and much more from her 32-day journey in the game.
“When I walked into Tribal Council, I thought 100% our plan is going to work. And the four of us will be the ones voting for Tommy and Tommy will be the one voted out. I had no reason to believe otherwise. All day we were focused on Noura… can we trust her? I never thought that it would end up being Dean.”
