Survivor 50 delivered a dramatic finale, and the winner was revealed. The host, Jeff Probst, also accidentally gave a spoiler about the last member of the jury. While he poked fun at his mistake, the finale also disclosed who walked away with two million dollars. Across its many episodes, the reality show offered shocking eliminations, unexpected twists, and testing challenges for the contestants. Now that it has ended, viewers need not worry, as another season will return soon.
What did Jeff Probst accidentally spoil?
Probst ended up spoiling and revealing the loser of the firemaking challenge.
Rizo Velovic and Jonathan Young were picked for the firemaking challenge, but even before the game played out, Probst ultimately declared who would lose. The host called Rizo, asked about her firemaking skills, and before the commercial hit, he regarded her as the final member of the jury.
The revelation of the last castaway turned out to be a big spoiler for the audience. Everyone around him went silent, prompting him to ask what had happened. The jury members made him realize that the challenge was yet to take place, but the loser had already been disclosed. Later, he addressed the critical error and explained why it happened while brushing off his blunder and calling it a “Survivor twist.”
He elaborated, “In case you’re confused, this is what happened. We were going to show you firemaking and then have the loser of firemaking, Rizo, come out and talk about if he had practiced firemaking, maybe he would’ve won. Instead, we did a Survivor twist, it’s the last twist of the season. We call it, ‘A peek into the future.’ So now, we’re going to watch Rizo lose in a fire to Jonathan” (via Deadline).
Who won Survivor 50?
Aubry Bracco was crowned the winner of Survivor 50.
The finale featured the top 5 contestants: Rizo Velovic, Jonathan Young, Aubry Bracco, Joseph “Joe” Hunter, and Tiffany Ervin. At first, Ervin was voted out. Bracco battled it out with Joe to secure immunity, and they both got a place in the Final 3. Later, she sent Rizo and Jonathan to compete in a firemaking challenge. In that, Rizo was ultimately eliminated. Among the final three, Bracco took home the cash prize.
