\n\t\u201cSurvivor<\/a>: In the Hands of the Fans\u201d has opened one last fan vote.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the penultimate episode of Season 50 on Wednesday, CBS<\/a> opened a poll for fans to choose their favorite player. The winner will be announced during the live finale event in Los Angeles on May 20 and will receive a prize of $100,000 from pop star and \u201cSurvivor\u201d superfan Sia.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Sia Fan Favorite prize marks the revival of a \u201cSurvivor\u201d tradition. The series previously had an official Fan Favorite award that went away after Season 26; after that, Sia took it upon herself to reward her favorite players for several seasons. Since 2016, she has given more than $1,000,000 of her own money to \u201cSurvivor\u201d players. Sia stopped giving out the prize after Season 45, but has revived it for the landmark 50th season \u2014 joining Billie Eilish, Zac Brown, Jimmy Fallon and MrBeast as a celebrity who contributed to the design of Season 50 in some way.<\/p>\n

\n\tVoting for the Sia Fan Favorite prize is open now<\/a> and will close at 12 p.m. PT on May 20, the day of the Season 50 finale.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSurvivor: In the Hands of the Fans\u201d stars 24 returning castaways who play for a $2 million prize while facing twists and game elements that were decided by fan vote.
