\n\tSPOILER ALERT: <\/strong>The following story contains spoilers for the finale of \u201cSurvivor<\/a> 50: In the Hands of the Fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJeff Probst<\/a> accidentally revealed the winner and loser of the \u201cSurvivor 50\u201d fire-making competition \u2014 which determines who makes it to the final three \u2014 before the segment aired.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring Wednesday night\u2019s finale, Aubry Bracco won the final immunity challenge of the season and chose to send Rizo Velovic and Jonathan Young to the fire-making competition. But after CBS aired footage of her announcing her decision, the episode cut to Probst onstage in front of a live studio audience in Los Angeles. There, it appears Probst was mistakenly prompted by production staff to bring out the loser, Velovic, despite that fans hadn\u2019t yet watched Young beat him.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Probst announced that Velovic was the last member of the Season 50 jury, he noticed people\u2019s confused reactions \u2014 including loud gasps from the audience. Cirie Fields, a fan-favorite contestant on the jury, awkwardly told Probst that fire-making hadn\u2019t been shown on-screen before the episode cut to commercial. After that, in the studio, a confused Probst asked the audience what had just happened. <\/p>\n

\n\tBut he had a good sense of humor about it all. Probst left the stage momentarily during the commercial break, and upon his return, the audience began yelling: \u201cWe love you, Jeff!\u201d Grinning, he said \u201cI love live television\u201d as the cameras started rolling again. <\/p>\n

\n\tJoking about the mishap, he said, \u201cWe were supposed to show you fire-making, and then have the loser of fire-making, Rizo, come out and talk about how charming he is, and if how he had practiced fire-making, maybe he would have won. Instead, we did a \u2018Survivor\u2019 twist. It\u2019s the last twist of the season. Now, we\u2019re gonna watch Rizo lose.\u201d As the spoiled fire-making competition was finally put on screen, audience members in the studio chanted Velovic\u2019s name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SPOILER ALERT: The following story contains spoilers for the finale of \u201cSurvivor 50: In the Hands of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":495311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[265],"tags":[18,117,19,17,59645,3300,128],"class_list":["post-495310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-jeff-probst","tag-survivor","tag-tv"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116611005005311400","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/495311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=495310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
