The show ‘Survivor’ features 18 “castaways” sent to an island in Fiji, competing against each other for a million dollars. ‘Survivor’ seasons occurs twice a year, during the summer/fall months and again during the winter/spring months. The latest season, ‘Survivor 48,’ premiered on Wednesday, February 24.
At the beginning of the season, players were divided into three different “tribes,” each with six members. The members of each tribe have never met each other and are all from diverse backgrounds. This season features a woman from Canada, even though the show is based in America.
After the series previous season, Survivor 47, fans have been anticipating this upcoming one.
The last season ended with a fan-favorite winning the game, helping the show gain more popularity after it was stuck in a little bit of a rut.
After the first episode of this season, viewers are excited to keep watching more.
Each episode varies in length, but they are usually about an hour and a half. The premiere episode of this season was two hours long, making it longer and more entertaining.
Over the past years, Survivor has gone through many changes, including less days spent in Fiji, different challenges, and more.
During this season, viewers have already seen crazy backstabbing, heartfelt moments, and fun challenges.
For example, during episode five of this season, two players shared a very heartfelt and emotional moment when one of the players got overwhelmed.
This moment had an emotional impact on other players, viewers, and even the host himself, Jeff Probst.
As of the latest episode, episode six, the players have officially hit “the merge.”
The merge occurs when every player leaves their certain tribe, and they all form one big group. This is a big milestone for a lot of players in the show because it commemorates the halfway point until the end.
Survivor is a great show to watch with family and friends. It can be found on many streaming services, including Hulu, Paramount+, Pluto TV, and Amazon Prime Video.
New episodes of Survivor air on Wednesday nights at 8:00 pm on CBS.
