Survivor 48comes to an end very soon! We only have two episodes left, including the season finale, and it's probably going to feel a little different thanSurvivor 47.
ForSurvivor 48,CBS is returning to its single, three-hour season finale episode. That's a change followingSurvivor 47,which featured atwo-part season finale. Each episode was two hours, so we got to see an additional hour ofSurvivor 47compared to what we'll see inSurvivor 48.So, yes,Survivor 47featured an extra episode to crownRachel LaMontas the winner of the season.
TheSurvivor 48finaleairs onWednesday, May 21, at 8 p.m ET on CBS and Paramount+. That's one week afterSurvivor 48episode 12 on Wednesday, May 14. All in all, we only have four and a half hours ofSurvivor 48left. And, only about four of those hours will be devoted to actual gameplay. The rest will be the After Show hosted by Jeff Probst from the Tribal Council set in Fiji. Hopefully, these players will get a little (or a lot of) pizza and champagne to celebrate one player.
Prior to Survivor 47, every single Survivor finale has been a three-hour episode before the show switched to a two-part finale for the last season. Honestly, I liked the flow ofSurvivor 47. There were a lot of big moves down the stretch of that game, and we got to see some of that play out a little more clearly than we would have if the finale had been an hour shorter.
For theSurvivor 48finale, the story is going to move quickly. First, we'll see the episode begin at the Final Five, most likely, followed by an immunity challenge and a Tribal Council where one player will be eliminated to get to theFinal Four.Then, we'll see the final immunity challenge of the season at the Final Four. One player will win and earn their spot in the Final Three. They will, then, select the player they want to sit next to them at Final Tribal Council, while the other two players will compete in the fire-making challenge for the last spot in the Final Three.
Then, last but not least, we'll see the Final Tribal Council. Each player will make their case. Then, the jury will ask them some questions, and then we'll see the players vote. Finally, one player will be named the winner ofSurvivor 48!Jeff, the finalists, and the jury will celebrate with an After Show. And, that'll be it. Whowill winSurvivor 48?Right now, Ihave some thoughts!
Unfortunately for fans out of the loop who like the live reunion from Los Angeles for each season ofSurvivor, that's not happening inSurvivor 48.And, it's not happening inSurvivor 49,which will air on CBS this fall, either. The earliestwe could see the live reunionreturn toSurvivorwill be inSurvivor 50.CBS is letting fans vote on if the winner will be announced in Fiji, like every season of the new era, or if the players will have to wait many, many months until the fullSurvivor 50season has aired for the winner to be revealed.
Stay tuned for more news about theSurvivor 48finale!
