In the latest episode of Jeff Probst‘s “On Fire with Jeff Probst” podcast, the long-time “Survivor” host confesses that the CBS reality TV show is purposefully designed to be “seen through the eyes of kids.” The conversation came at the end of the podcast when a fan accused him of making the show only for himself.
“I don’t think he’s wrong in that yes, on some level, I am making ‘Survivor’ for me,” Probst readily admitted, as reported by Dalton Ross (EW). He then added, “But I will say that my version of the show, for me, is seen through the eyes of kids. So that is my point of view.”

Probst later added, “Everybody knows that works with me, I say, ‘Imagine a 7-year-old at home imagining they’re the one making fire, they’re the one who found an idol.

The Survivor Season 44 premiere showed a lot of promise for the fourth installment of the reality competition series’ “new era,” but since then, fans have pointed out flaws in the show’s format. There are too many advantages and idols (and fake idols) at play in the game, and only women have been voted out. But hopefully, things will turn around soon, and by the time the finale arrives, we’ll be talking about how great Survivor Season 44 was.

Geo Bustamante couldn’t have been more excited to have secured himself the Knowledge Is Power advantage on “Survivor 43,” despite what he already (sorta) knew to be true: it’s a curse! Upon getting the advantage in Episode 5 he said, “This is what I came here for! I came to ‘Survivor’ to get an idol or to get an advantage. I’ve never seen anybody use the Knowledge Is Power successfully, but it’s a very powerful tool.” He went on to say he’d save it because he was certain he wouldn’t be voted out that night. Less than 15 minutes later, Geo was the fifth person voted out of the game.
With Geo’s finding of the advantage and subsequent elimination, he became the third of three players to hold the Knowledge Is Power advantage and not use it successfully. For Geo, finding the advantage wasn’t the curse,...

With “Survivor 43” returning to our screens this fall, we wanted to know what you think about the advantages, twists and challenges currently at play in “Survivor” and which, if any, should stick around for the upcoming season. Both season 41 and 42 broke new ground for the 20+ year old reality TV staple by upending the expectations of the players. In the post-pandemic iterations of the show, Jeff Probst revealed new aspects to a game the players thought they knew. We asked you to vote on your favorites in a recent poll and you spoke loud and clear that the Knowledge Is Power advantage and the Shot in the Dark opportunity are the two you most want to see return in season 43.

We’re only a few weeks out from the “Survivor 42” finale where Maryanne Oketch clinched the 1 million prize arguably because of her Final Tribal Council revelation that she had kept the only secret in the game truly a secret: her unused hidden immunity idol. Jaws dropped on the jury and the players that may have otherwise been inclined to vote for Mike Turner to win instead chose Maryanne as the “sole Survivor.” Now, as we forward look to “Survivor 43” this fall, we want to know what you think about the advantages, twists and challenges currently at play in “Survivor” and which, if any, should stick around for the upcoming season.

For the first time since Season 1, the winner of “Survivor 41” will be announced on the island. Let that sink in. There won’t be a cheering studio audience, no emotional family member hugs, not even a live reunion with all of the castaways. Jeff Probst spoke candidly with TVLine about the decision to scrap the live element of the finale and do everything in Fiji this time around, with one of his biggest takeaways being that he misses the “big energy” of having fans in attendance.
“There are pros and cons to both,” said the four-time Emmy-winning host about a live finale vs. a pre-taped finale. “I definitely miss the big energy of the live audience and seeing all the family members of our players. That kind of excitement is very unique because it’s more of an event. But what was really cool about revealing the winner in the jungle was the intimacy.

After being voted out of “Survivor 41” in the season’s penultimate episode, Danny McCray knew he would face tough questions from his one-time ally Shan Smith at Ponderosa. However, even he admitted that their ultimate meeting “may have been a little hotter than expected” (watch above). Shan and fellow eliminee Liana Wallace were upset with Danny for breaking their so-called Black alliance, resulting in the three of them being voted out back-to-back-to-back (only Deshawn Radden still remains in the game).

Danny blatantly asked Shan if she told Ricard Foye that the group was planning on voting him out, and Shan fired back, “I gave Ricard a heads up. That was my common courtesy to my number one.” She then added, “I was still locked in with my number four,” referring to the four African-American players.

And then there were six. With just one week to go until the “Survivor 41” finale, the Final 6 castaways were all angling to make it into the Final 5. With back-to-back blindsides of Liana Wallace and Shan Smith, there was no telling how the night’s vote might go. Would the remaining members of their once-dominant alliance stick together, or would the people on the bottom rise up?

Only six players remain in the fight for $1 million on “Survivor 41”: Danny McCray, Deshawn Radden, Erika Casupanan, Heather Aldret, Ricard Foye and Xander Hastings. All six have gone down their own paths to make it to the endgame and fans are all over the place in who they think deserves to win the title of Sole Survivor. But in our recent poll, which asked you to vote for who should win “Survivor 41,” there was one clear choice that dominated the vote.

For weeks, many “Survivor 41” viewers have suspected there might be something hot and heavy cooking in Fiji (and not the rice), and now Xander Hastings has confirmed he does indeed have a crush on Liana Wallace. “I’ve said multiple times that I think she’s so attractive,” the 21-year-old Florida app developer revealed in a deleted scene from a recent episode (watch above). “If she knew how I actually felt about her, then she’d [realize] it’s all the strategy that makes her think that I hate her.”
The scene in question happened after Xander and Liana got in a tussle while searching for a hidden immunity idol. Liana readily admitted she was being “a little pest, a little sister that won’t go away,” which annoyed Xander so much he went to Shan Smith for help.

After successfully navigating the game’s new twists and turns, only six castaways remain on “Survivor 41.” Four of the six are original Luvu tribemates: Danny McCray, Deshawn Radden, Erika Casupanan and Heather Aldret, while Ricard Foye is the last remaining Ua player and Xander Hastings is the final Yase member. There is only one episode left before the finale, so it’s time to ask the question, who deserves to win “Survivor 41”? Vote in our new poll here:
Danny and Deshawn have been a pair from the beginning and have yet to waver from each other. Because of Luvu’s winning streak, the duo did not have to attend Tribal Council in the pre-merge. After the merge, they formed an alliance with the other remaining Black players, Liana Wallace and Shan Smith, and largely controlled the votes until Ricard came up with a plan to turn on Shan.

On Wednesday night, “Survivor” introduced a brand new wrinkle to CBS’s 20-year-old reality TV show: the “Do or Die” twist. Host Jeff Probst explained to the Final 7 castaways that the latest immunity challenge, an endurance competition in which they had to balance a ball on a tiny wooden holder, came with its own special rules. If a player competed in the challenge and was the first person to drop their ball, they would have to play a guessing game at tribal council with potentially disastrous results. Anyone who didn’t want to risk their game could choose to sit out of the comp. What did you think of first-ever “Do or Die” twist? Vote in our “Survivor 41” poll below.

The Final 7 castaways on “Survivor 41” were in disarray after last week’s shocking elimination of Shan Smith. Her fellow alliance members Ricard Foye, Danny McCray and Deshawn Radden had just turned on Shan and Liana Wallace, which left the door open for one of the underdogs — Heather Aldret, Erika Casupanan and Xander Hastings — to pull through. So how did this week’s “Do or Die” twist shake up the game?

One of the most buzzed-about players on “Survivor 41,” Shan Smith from Washington, D.C., was eliminated from Wednesday’s 10th episode in an epic blindside. The 34-year-old pastor went out with a bang as she praised Bff Ricard Foye (saying she’d vote for him to win the $1 million) and blasted alliance member Deshawn Radden (whom she called a “snake”). Shan is now the second player in as many weeks to go home with a hidden immunity idol in their pocket, following Naseer Muttalif last week.

“Jeff missed a big opportunity,” exclaims Gold Derby’s Marcus James Dixon after “Survivor’s” unexpected double elimination. He joins Kevin Jacobson and Matt Noble in our weekly Gold Derby “Survivor 41” slugfest. Marcus explains, “With the twist of separating them into two tribes, Jeff should have asked them to drop their buffs and said, ‘You are no longer merged, for one week.’” Watch the lively discussion on Season 41, Episode 9, titled “Who’s Who in the Zoo,” in our video recap above.

The episode saw the merged tribe, split in two at the immunity challenge. After the challenge, the two groups head to different beaches and separate tribal councils. While this twist was last used only two seasons ago, Marcus is correct that it acts as a temporary un-merging. And it caused havoc for fan favorites Nasseer Muttalif and Evvie Jagoda, who were voted out of the game.

Evvie Jagoda is happy with her “Survivor” experience, but isn’t exactly pleased with how she went out. In this week’s Ponderosa video, Evvie discusses being voted out of the game and how she still isn’t quite sure how it went down. “I really wanna know what happened,” says Evvie, with only Xander Hastings voting with her in the end. Evvie adds that she’s not a fan of the twist of splitting the merged tribe into two teams and having them go to two separate Tribal Councils. “I hate that twist. I’ve always hated that twist.” Watch the full “Survivor 41” Ponderosa video above.
Evvie explains that it was tough to move forward once the tribes merged, considering how much of a minority position she was in with her Yase tribe. “I could never really get my legs under me at the merge and if they had let me get one more,...

Naseer Muttalif was on the wrong end of a blindside on this week’s episode of “Survivor 41,” being voted out with a hidden Immunity Idol in his pocket. In a new Ponderosa video filmed after Naseer left the game, the sales manager delves into why he did not play his idol. “It was a huge blindside,” he admits, adding that he trusted Shan Smith more than he should have. “That was my problem.” Watch the “Survivor 41” Ponderosa video above.
First juror Tiffany Seely asked Naseer why he did not play his idol, and as it turns out, he simply thought the numbers were on his side to pull off a clean vote against Heather Aldret. “That’s why they call it blindside, Mama,” he quipped. Naseer took out his idol and wore it around his neck, saying that at least no one can vote him off at Ponderosa. Despite failing...

This 41st season began with 18 cast members divided into three tribes. The Luvu tribe entered the merge at six strong, not losing a single person in the first portion of the game. To compare, the Yase tribe voted out two castaways early on (Eric Abraham and David Voce) while the Ua tribe said goodbye to a whopping four players.

Heading into the ninth episode of “Survivor 41,” both of the Yase turtles (Xander Hastings and Evvie Jagoda) knew they were on the outs as the other eight players had come for them repeatedly. Host Jeff Probst shocked the group of 10 when he split them into two groups and said both would eliminate someone at their own tribal councils. Did Xander, Naseer or Shan finally use their hidden immunity idols?

Episode 8 of “Survivor 41” proved that despite all the idols and advantages that make up the game these days, sometimes the biggest conflicts come from the players themselves. “Look how much drama we got out of a papaya,” says Kevin Jacobsen in a new slugfest, referencing Ricard Foye eating a piece of papaya at camp after already winning a Reward Challenge for food, and getting in trouble for it. Fellow Gold Derby contributor Matt Noble agrees that it was refreshing to see some “classic ‘Survivor’ tribal drama” in this episode as opposed to a flurry of advantages and idols. Watch the full slugfest above.
While this episode ultimately resulted in a predictable outcome, with the larger alliance targeting the Yase three, there was enough character drama to make for a compelling hour of television. Heather Aldret caused chaos at Tribal Council by starting a whisper campaign against Naseer Muttalif, which caused...

The jury phase of “Survivor 41” began in Episode 8, with 47-year-old teacher Tiffany Seely being booted by the majority. Tiffany was part of the three-person Yase alliance with Evvie Jagoda and Xander Hastings, both of whom were protected by winning immunity and having an immunity idol, respectively. This made Tiffany the easy target to take out, but according to a new poll released just after last week’s episode, fans don’t think she should have been eliminated.
Shan Smith earned the most votes for who Gold Derby readers thought should have been voted out, at a whopping 43% of the tally. The self-professed mafia pastor struggled to maintain her close relationships with her allies in Episode 8, confronting Ricard Foye about eating a piece of papaya and making Deshawn Radden feel like his voice didn’t matter on multiple occasions. Nonetheless, she was not even discussed as a possible target, though that...

Heading into the eighth episode of “Survivor 41,” the Yase three knew they were at the bottom of the totem pole. They had just narrowly survived tribal council, where Sydney Segal was sent packing instead by a one-vote margin. The other Yase member, Liana Wallace, left her old tribe in the dust when she officially joined up with the all-Black alliance consisting of Shan Smith, Deshawn Radden and Danny McCray. Were the Yase three able to survive another tribal council this week?

“This was the best episode of Season 41 by far,” exclaims Gold Derby’s Marcus James Dixon after “Survivor’s” chaotic merge. He joins Kevin Jacobson and Matt Noble in our weekly Gold Derby “Survivor 41” slugfest. Matt adds, “Jeff Probst has described this season as a monster you have to outrun. This episode encapsulated that idea. The monster arrived on the island. We saw a lot of mistakes from a lot of people because that’s what happens when a monster comes.” Watch the lively discussion on Season 41, Episode 7, titled “There’s Gonna Be Blood,” in our video recap above.
The episode opened with Erika Casupanan making the decision to smash an hourglass, reversing the results of the previous episode’s immunity challenge. With more than half of the castaways immune, there were few places to hide. The new alliance of Liana Wallace, Shan Smith, Danny McCray and Deshawn Radden targeted Evvie Jagoda.

Episode 7 of “Survivor 41” was one for the ages. With seven of the 12 remaining castaways safe from elimination, it was utter chaos figuring out who to send out. After advantages played, new alliances forged and a wildly unpredictable Tribal Council, it was confident law student Sydney Segal who met her demise in a very close 5-4-3 vote. In a new poll posted last week, Gold Derby asked readers to pick who they thought deserved to be eliminated this episode, and the people have spoken.
Sydney earned the most votes for who users thought deserved to be booted, amassing 27% of the vote. Among other castaways eligible to be voted out, Deshawn Radden earned the next highest amount of votes at 9%. The Yase alliance of Evvie Jagoda, Tiffany Seely and Xander Hastings conspired to target Deshawn and placed three votes on him, but they couldn’t convince anyone else to join them.

On “Survivor,” there’s nothing worse than being outnumbered at the merge, and that’s exactly what’s happened to the Yase three, aka Xander Hastings, Evvie Jagoda and Tiffany Seely. When their fourth Yase member, Liana Wallace, ditched them for the Campout alliance, that left the yellow trio with a huge numbers disadvantage on a merged tribe of 12 people. At the end of last week’s hectic tribal council, Sydney Segal was sent packing as she received one more vote than Evvie, but can the Yase three survive yet another week?

The merge episode of “Survivor 41” was one for the record books. For the first time in the show’s two decades on the air, six people won an immunity challenge and were told by Jeff Probst that they were safe, only to have their immunity undone by an hourglass twist that reversed time. Flash-forward to tribal council, where one of those people, Sydney Segal, ended up being voted out. Needless to say, she’s not a fan of the hourglass twist.
“I mean, it’s not even a twist — it’s a lie,” Sydney says in her exit interview with EW. “We’re told one thing and then something else happens. And I think it achieved exactly what it intended to achieve. That challenge was meant for strong players to win. And then that hourglass twist was intended to get a strong player out of the game. And as I said a million times before,...

Episode 7 of “Survivor 41” ended in the most dramatic Tribal Council of the season to date. After Erika Casupanan smashed the hourglass that resulted in the winners of last week’s challenge becoming vulnerable, it was a mad scramble to determine who to vote out, with multiple advantages played and past alliances betrayed. Sydney Segal was the unfortunate victim of a chaotic Tribal Council, going out in a very close 5-4-3 vote. But did the merged tribe ultimately make the right call?

At the start of the seventh episode of “Survivor 41,” all eyes were on Erika Casupanan. Would this Exile Island inhabitant smash the hourglass and change the results of last week’s merge challenge? If so, the six challenge winners who thought they had immunity would actually be eligible for elimination, while the six who lost the challenge would now be safe. Talk about drama! So how did it all play out on Wednesday night?

On last week’s sixth episode of “Survivor 41,” Jeff Probst dropped the bombshell of the merge challenge on the 12 remaining castaways, resulting in half of them believing themselves safe at the next tribal council and half of them facing an individual immunity challenge to determine their fate. The not-quite-merge set the stage for Erika Casupanan, chosen by a majority of her former Luvu tribe mates to go to Exile Island, to possibly “change history” by flipping the script on the merge challenge and switching the immune to vulnerable, and the vulnerable to immune.
But before we see Erika makes her historic decision on the seventh episode, it’s time to assess where every player is at in the game and rank their chances at becoming the 41st sole Survivor. Below we roll out our first power rankings of the season, taking into account strategy, relationships, and of course the notorious “winner’s edit.

It was a merge episode to remember on “Survivor 41,” for better or for worse. The sixth episode of the season featured the three tribes merging as they would on a normal season, but not before host Jeff Probst revealed a big twist that was “needlessly complicated,” as Kevin Jacobsen explains in a new “Survivor” slugfest with colleagues Marcus James Dixon and Matt Noble. The twist resulted in a rare episode where no one went home by the end of the night. Watch our thoughts on how it all played out in the video chat above.

At the end of last week’s episode of “Survivor 41,” Jeff Probst offered a never-before-seen twist to the current inhabitant of Exile Island, Erika Casupanan. If she wanted to “go back in time and change history,” she could reverse the results of the merge challenge by smashing a prop hourglass. That would result in the winners of the challenge now being up for elimination and the losers now being safe. Since Erika was eligible to be voted out, viewers assumed she’d have no choice but to use the hammer when the show returned for Episode 7.
In fact, our reader’s poll results were fairly decisive when asked whether Erika should smash the hourglass. Here they are:
91%: Yes — Absolutely, it’s a no-brainer
6%: No — It would ruffle too many feathers
3%: Maybe — I’m not sure what she should do

Xavier Prather, the historic first African-American winner of “Big Brother,” has tweeted a two-word response to “Survivor’s” all-Black alliance: “Everybody eats.”
His comment is a direct reference to the Cookout, the name of his “BB23” alliance from this summer that dominated the game, resulting in all six members making it to the end and Xavier winning the $750,000 grand prize. Now a similar alliance has been created on “Survivor 41” consisting of the four remaining Black players: Shantel “Shan” Smith, Liana Wallace, Deshawn Radden and Danny McCray.

After kinda-sorta merging during the sixth episode of Season 41, these four castaways struck an agreement to remain loyal to each other for the rest of the game. While they didn’t give an official name to their group, some “Survivor” fans took to social media to call the new alliance the Campout, a clever callback to the Cookout.

When the merge kinda-sorta happened on the sixth episode of “Survivor 41,” it brought together people from all three tribes. Immediately, the show’s four remaining Black castaways — Shantel “Shan” Smith from Ua, Liana Wallace from Yase, and Deshawn Radden and Danny McCray from Luvu — struck an agreement to remain loyal to each other for the rest of the game. While they didn’t give an official name to their group, fans of “Big Brother 23” immediately had flashbacks to the Cookout alliance, which dominated that season and resulted in a Black person winning for the first time ever.
In truth, this 41st cycle of “Survivor” was filmed back in the spring, well before the “BB23” houseguests created their Cookout alliance during the most recent summer installment. “More than any other season that I think I’ve ever watched on ‘Survivor,’ I think Season 41 has been the most diverse and most inclusive and representative of America,...

And then there were 12. Heading into the sixth episode of “Survivor 41,” Luvu was still strong at six tribe members, compared to four for Yase and two for Ua. But with Jeff Probst throwing out his classic “drop your buffs” line, the castaways were about to become mixed up in the season’s first tribe swap. How did the twist affect the game’s various alliances? And did any of the season’s many, many advantages finally get played?

In last week’s fourth episode of “Survivor 41,” Shan made a power play in the Ua tribe when she decided to trick Jd into leaving his extra vote at camp in an act of trust, only to turn around and vote him out so that she could claim the advantage for herself. With that vote, Ua was down to only three members at camp, while Yase held steady with four and Luvu continued to rule the island with all six members still in the game. What are the repercussions of Shan’s big move and will anyone play one of the many advantages floating around in the game?

The Yase tribe takes a break from all the drama during Wednesday’s fourth episode of “Survivor 41” when they discover hundreds of baby turtles that have just been hatched. “You have to see this,” Tiffany Seely excitedly tells her tribe mates Liana Wallace, Xander Hastings and Evvie Jagoda. “You gotta hurry. It’s crazy. Follow me.” She then escorts her friends through the jungle to a nearby beach, where they witness the cute little reptiles scurrying across the sand to get to the water. Watch the “Survivor” sneak peek video above before the episode airs October 13 on CBS.

Yase jokingly gives the turtles some Jeff Probst-like “motivation,” telling them to “dig deep” and that they “gotta dig.” At one point, a shelled baby has trouble getting out of a hole, but after the tribe’s encouragement, it is able to escape and continue on its journey.

Heading into the third episode of “Survivor 41,” Yase was feeling defeated after voting out David Voce, which brought them down to only four tribe members (they ousted Eric Abraham in the premiere). To compare, Luvu was still strong at six people and Ua had five castaways as they blindsided Sara Wilson in the first episode. So which tribe lost the immunity challenge during Wednesday’s episode and had to visit with Jeff Probst at tribal council? And did anyone use their shot in the dark this week?

“Survivor 41” fans are nearly united in who they think should have gotten the boot in Episode 2 instead of David Voce. The Yase tribe decided to take out the 34-year-old neurosurgeon at the end of last week’s episode, which surprised many viewers considering there were more obvious targets available to take out. Tiffany Seely struggled hard in the Immunity Challenge, arguably costing her tribe the win, but her allies, Evvie Jagoda and Liana Wallace, decided to stay strong with her and go along with Tiffany’s target, Voce.
But fans think Tiffany should have been voted out instead. In a poll posted the day after Episode 2, a whopping 89.29% of Gold Derby users voted that Yase should have booted Tiffany. This was likely influenced by Yase’s continued failure to win a challenge, with Tiffany being called a “liability” in that respect by Voce. Gold Derby users also thought Tiffany should...

After the back-to-back eliminations of Yase’s Eric Abraham and Ua’s Sara Wilson, the remaining 16 castaways were ready for another round of outwitting, outplaying and outlasting. Did the Luvu tribe win immunity yet again, keeping their numbers strong at six? Or did Ua or Yase pull out their first immunity victory, thereby preventing their team from losing another player?

“Survivor 41” has arrived at long last, airing a supersized two-hour premiere on Wednesday night. The 18 new castaways helped kick off a whole new era of the show and by the end of the night, two of them saw their “Survivor” dreams die as they were voted out by their tribes. After the Luvu tribe won the first Immunity Challenge, Yase and Ua went to Tribal Council where they booted 50-year-old cyber security analyst Eric Abraham and 23-year-old healthcare consultant Sara Wilson, respectively. But did the tribes vote out the right players in the end? Vote in our Episode 1 polls below.
