Survivor 50 Ditches Probst's Podcast for New Strategy

Survivor's milestone 50th season, Survivor 50, premiered on Wednesday without its customary companion podcast hosted by Jeff Probst. For recent seasons, Probst hosted 'On Fire With Jeff Probst,' which typically released weekly recaps. However, this format is being altered for Survivor 50 as the network implements a new promotional strategy. Probst explained that the season was designed as a celebration with an exciting game, and the decision was made to "not immediately pull back the curtain while it was happening."

The intention behind this change is to encourage fans to "discover it on their own and experience it in real time." The host expressed that this approach would allow for collective reflection on the season during the live finale. Probst also noted a unique atmosphere among the returning players, describing their "real joy and gratitude" for being invited back, contributing to what he called the "most fun" he's had on any season of Survivor. The podcast 'On Fire' previously featured co-hosts like Rick Devens, Dee Valladares, and Charlie Davis.
