“Survivor” 50 is a milestone season for CBS and for Jeff Probst — and may just be the start of something new. On May 20, the show will air its finale, which will be live in front of an audience for the first time since 2019’s “Edge of Extinction.”

The live finale was one of the many game elements fans voted for during “In the Hands of the Fans.” Another fan vote is currently underway, as viewers can choose their favorite player, to be announced during the live show; Sia will award the player with the most votes with a $100,000 prize.
