I haven’t seen the spoilers for who the two people are, but based on the edit it’s becoming obviousYou really don't? I'd say it's pretty obvious that it's 2 of 3 possibilities.

I haven't started a thread for 50 yet. I figured I would wait until after 49's finale, but I could start one if people want me to.definitely a better episode (except for Jeff trying to make the Kristina's emotions something bigger than they needed to be).
And, finally some serious thinking and attempt at big plays. I really enjoyed the editing this time. There were so many possible plans - most with serious probabilities for success.
The fake idol by Rizo... wow! That was a very interesting play. Caught me totally by surprise. And when his name came up so many times, I was wondering if Rizo had been blindsided big time.
I agree with @PUSH on the top three at this point.
I think Sage is probably the next one out. Her name has been tossed in as someone to fear. And, I can see the next episode being the easy vote out. After that, I think the leading alliance will break up and we will get a blindside of one of them.
BTW, do we have a Survivor 50 thread started yet? I have some thoughts on the players and the three tribe format...
I was thinking about this last night... the casting has become too heavily focused on people who are here for the personal growth. That's not why we watch Survivor. We want people who come to play and want to win the game. We aren't here to watch summer camp.Kristina summed up the new era of Survivor perfectly:
“I’m here for the journey and experience”
But, it was good to hear yellow Sophie say she wants the money.
I listened to Rob’s Q+A podcast. He did talk about 51 and 52 being pivotal. It worth a full listen. Rob knows they’re never leaving Fiji, but try to mix things up. Go back to 2 tribes, bring back themed seasons, change the casting process.I was thinking about this last night... the casting has become too heavily focused on people who are here for the personal growth.

I don't think it necessarily has to do with everyone being a super fan, because we clearly have super fans on this season who are here to play (Rizo, Savannah, Soph, Sophie...). That's why I like them. It's why I like Sage, too. I don't care for Kristina, because she's just here to make friends and doesn't really want to win the game. The two can overlap, but winning the game has to be the main motivator. I think that's why I like a season like Second Chances so much... they were all playing so hard to win.
Jeff is out of touch with what draws fans in. His choices as a producer prove that. I've been saying Jeff is not a great producer, but is a good host. I feel like his hosting has been slipping the more I watch these recent seasons, though. He needs to be asking them tougher questions like he used to. He always used to talk about how he's a part of the game, and navigating him is part of playing Survivor. Now, they just have friendly conversations with him and go on their way.
I saw a clip of Rob C talking about how Survivor 51 and 52 are going to be pivotal seasons. Where they go after 50 is going to be crucial for the show's long term fate. If it continues like they have in 41-49, the show won't last much longer. If they can reinvent it and make it interesting again, it's a format that can work forever. But it's been so predictable for 10 seasons. They used to change things every season, and it made it interesting. Yes, we complained about things, but it was better than us having nothing to talk about. These past couple seasons, I haven't really felt anything regarding the show. And that's concerning for a die hard fan like me.
I started the podcast, but haven't gotten all the way through yet. I agree with him that production has gotten very stubborn in the new era. Jeff has continuously told us that the way they're doing it is the best way to do it, even if nobody else thinks so.I listened to Rob’s Q+A podcast. He did talk about 51 and 52 being pivotal.

Seems like Jeff is trying to bring his cancelled talk show to Survivor.
