Don’t be surprised if Survivor opts out of doing another live finale, because host Jeff Probst accidentally spoiled the show last night.
The moment went down when Jeff was introducing the final fire-making challenge, and preemptively revealed that Rizo Velovic lost.
“Camp life is also about fire-making,” he said. “I don’t know if there’s something in there to think about, anyway, Rizo, you’ve become the final member of our jury. Take a spot over here. This is it. These are our people.”
He then said “Their games fell a little short, but this is the group that is going to figure out…” before trailing off and asking “What just happened?”
Jeff was then informed that “The fire hasn’t happened yet,” was told to “Keep going,” and said “I’m not even sure what’s happened,” before the show panned to all the contestants laughing and cut to commercial.
Meanwhile, audiences filmed what happened during the commercial break, and it was pretty chaotic:
When they returned, Jeff addressed the situation lightheartedly, saying “Alright, so, I love doing live television. In case you’re confused, this is what happened. We were going to show you fire-making, and then have the loser of fire-making, Rizo, come out and talk about if he had practiced fire-making 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.”
Honestly, live TV chaos is part of the fun!
