“Hello, judges. I’m from Gulf Shores, Alabama,” Jonathan Young says at the beginning of “Survivor” 50’s fourth episode on CBS.

Young goes on to perform a WWE-style wrestling routine with Charlie from the Cila tribe. It’s a light-hearted moment on day nine of the 26-day season.

“That was awesome,” Cirie says of the routine, with the tribe admitting the playful talent show around camp serves as a distraction from the hunger.

Young’s physicality jumps through the screen in every scene. He’s bigger and stronger than his competitors by a wide margin. During the episode’s obstacle course immunity challenge, he pushes his tribe’s boat through the sand, his team narrowly missing the win but avoiding a trip to tribal council with the second-place finish.

The six-player Vatu tribe’s boat remains stuck in the Fijian sand, sending Vatu to vote another player off at tribal council.

“Good lord, that was rough,” Young says after the challenge.

“Jonathan, you’re the motor indeed, bro,” his tribemate Rick Devens says in appreciation.

The entire episode, however, is not ideal for Young.

With his tribe finishing second, he misses out on a reward with Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band, as the country music singer fishes, cooks and sings for the winning Kalo tribe.

The losing Vatu tribe also plans and executes a blindside of Mike White, sending home the only “non-Survivor” celebrity on the season’s cast. White is the creator and director of HBO’s “The White Lotus.”

White was also a member of Young’s original tribe and an ally before the tribe swap in the third episode.

Still, Young remains in a strong game position four episodes into the season. He hasn’t been to tribal council, largely due to his own strength during team challenges, and he’s in a majority alliance on the Cila tribe.

Making the merge, a midpoint of the show where multiple tribes become one, seems likely for Young, but to win the game and the $1 million prize, Young will need to continue showing strategic prowess, as he has in the season’s early episodes, in addition to his physical strength.

“Survivor” 50 airs each Wednesday at 7 p.m. CST on CBS.
