Survivor 50, the most anticipated Survivor season possibly ever, is off to a fantastic start. There is something for almost every Survivor fan in this premiere.

Survivor 49’s ninth episode saw the underdog trio of Savannah, Rizo, and Sophi B. miraculously survive yet another round, seemingly taking outsider Sophie S. under their wing. Their underdog story should feel exciting and exhilarating to watch live, reminiscent of the Foa Foa Four in Survivor Samoa exactly 30 seasons prior. Yet, the worst-kept secret…
