'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40 released a sneak peek prior to Wednesday night's episode and looks like Tony Vlachose is playing double agent, which has fans speculating he found an immunity idol. 

Last week when 'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40 aired, we witnessed a lot of emotions flow as the series brought the castaway's entire family out for a reunion. They didn't even have a Family challenge and let the castaways spend time with their family and kids. What got fans extra emotional was seeing the Edge of Extinction castaways also reunite with their family. Tony won the Immunity challenge winning him not just immunity, but two fire tokens. After an epic tribal council with some major moves, Tyson was sent back to EoE, after he received the most number of votes. 

Returning on Wednesday night for Episode 11, this week's preview showcased Tony playing a risky game. Tony who first appeared on 'Survivor: Game Changers', is known for his hilarious antics. But while he hasn't made any game-changing moves yet, it looks like he's up to one next episode.



 

In the preview that was released by the series, Tony shared, "I’ve been patient long enough, now I have the opportunity to flip-flop." The preview also shows Tony running through the jungle with his bag in hand, screaming "Yes!"

Meanwhile, Jeremy is confused contemplating if he should be trusting any castmate or not. We also see Kim Spradlin approach Denise Stapley revealing that Tony might be playing double agent. Sarah Lacina tries to convince the other members to ignore Tony's plan. 

While there's still time for the episode to air, fans on Reddit predict that Tony might've been so happy, and confident because he might've found an idol. "Honestly seems likely that this is around when he starts his hunt for an idol. Convenient excuse I think," a fan wrote. 

While another shared, "It was a sneak peek. It cut off when Tony was talking. Obviously after this scene he will get an advantage or find an idol. It’s leading up to Cagayan crazy Tony again."

"The sneak peek was totally leading into Tony finding an idol or getting an advantage," a fan speculated. Adding to that another said, "In another sneak-peak, Tony is heard screaming yes. Probably finds an idol." 

"Tony will likely end up winning exactly like his first season then... He is going to find idols, play both sides, probably get an advantage with this fire tokens and maybe win another immunity challenge," a fan shared. Another added, "Tony finds an idol and finds a way to get his target out. Now, the story will be how Tony pulls it off." 

"No idol, but the final cut of him fist-bumping does have the 'I just got an idol' feeling," a fan wrote on Reddit. 

'Survivor: Winners at War' Season 40 airs every Wednesday night only on CBS. Check your local listings for more information.
