Survivor 50 launched on February 25, 2026, with an immediate shockwave: a double elimination on the very first day. The season, boasting its largest cast of 24 contestants, saw two individuals sent home shortly after the premiere.
The Vatu tribe secured an early advantage by winning fire, but the game quickly intensified. A challenge involving supply retrieval saw veteran players Ozzy Lusth and Benjamin Wade ('Coach') face off, with Coach ultimately winning but sustaining an injury. Meanwhile, tribal dynamics began to form, with alliances brewing among returning players like Colby Donaldson and Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick on the Vatu tribe.
Further drama unfolded at the tribal council. Despite Jenna voting for Cirie Fields due to a challenge error, the rest of the Cila tribe voted Jenna out, making her the first member of the all-star cast to be eliminated. The Vatu tribe also faced a setback when Kyle sustained a severe ankle injury during an immunity challenge. Medical assessments revealed a likely torn Achilles tendon, necessitating his removal from the game despite his pleas.
The game continues with a reduced cast, leaving contestants and viewers alike anticipating further twists and turns in this milestone season.
