‘Survivor 51’: Devin Gives Ori a Runway Lesson in Hilarious Sneak Peek After Savu’s Tough Losses
With only three players left in Savu, the pressure is mounting on Survivor 51. But rather than letting their shrinking numbers and consecutive challenge defeats get them down, Ori Jean-Charles, Devin Way and Jelly Loblack find an unexpected way to lift their spirits: a playful runway show inspired by RuPaul’s Drag Race.
In an upcoming episode preview, the remaining members of the Helicopter Alliance trade the tension of the game for laughter as Devin takes on the role of runway coach and teaches Ori how to walk like a model.
Devin Turns Ori Into “Chocolate Fantasy”
The lighthearted moment comes just one day after Savu voted out Alexis Levine, leaving the tribe with only three members. In the sneak peek, the survivors embrace their drag personas and stage an imaginary fashion runway in the middle of Fiji.
Ori even gives himself a drag name: “Chocolate Fantasy.”

Devin is clearly impressed by his tribemate’s physique, describing Ori as having plenty of “abs and pecs” and a “Herculean” figure. But Devin believes Ori could use some professional guidance when it comes to his runway technique.
“So, I decide it’s time to teach him how to model walk,” Devin explains in a confessional.
The former Grey’s Anatomy actor then begins coaching Ori through the basics, offering instructions on posture, movement and how to deliver a convincing final pose.
“On a runway, girls walk on one line. Men walk on two,” Devin tells him. He then emphasizes the importance of keeping his chest up and face forward while walking.
Once Ori reaches the end of the imaginary runway, Devin explains that the face should be the final thing to turn back.
His advice doesn’t stop there. Devin also tells Ori to let his eyes glaze over, “like someone’s been talking to you for an hour.”
The result is an amusing runway lesson that gives the remaining Savu players a welcome break from the pressure of the competition.
Devin Reveals His Unexpected Modeling Experience
As Ori, a New York personal trainer, attempts his first runway walk, Devin reveals that his coaching comes from more than just confidence.
“Secretly, I’ve modeled for some of the biggest brands out there,” he says in his confessional. “So, I’m giving Ori the real deal. When Ori leaves this place, he is runway ready.”
Whether Ori has a future on the runway remains to be seen, but Devin appears determined to make sure his student leaves the lesson with a little more swagger.
The moment also highlights the bond between the three remaining members of the Helicopter Alliance, whose friendship began on Day 1 of the game.
The Story Behind the Helicopter Alliance
Ori, Devin and Jelly first connected before the contestants were divided into their two original tribes. A helicopter happened to fly overhead while they were bonding, inspiring them to name their group the Helicopter Alliance.
Their original arrangement was disrupted when Devin and Jelly were assigned to Toka while Ori joined Savu. However, the alliance members found themselves together again after the game’s Day 8 swap, when the contestants were divided into three tribes.
Aaliyah Puglia, who was voted out on Day 3, was also an original member of the alliance. Sharonda Cox later joined the group but is now competing on the Dina tribe.
The alliance has since endured a difficult stretch. Savu was outnumbered following the swap and suffered consecutive challenge losses. After Alexis’ elimination, just Ori, Devin and Jelly remained at camp.
Their runway antics offer a brief moment of relief, but the tribe’s small numbers could become a serious concern as the game progresses.
What Comes Next for Savu?
With Survivor 51 now in its “Open Era,” it remains uncertain how long the three-tribe format will continue. Another swap or a merge could be approaching, although neither has been confirmed.
For now, Ori, Devin and Jelly are making the most of their time together, finding humor in a game that has become increasingly difficult for their tribe.
Episode 6, titled “I Love Crying,” airs Wednesday night on CBS.
