SPOILER ALERT: This post contains details about the Survivor Season 50 finale on CBS.
Jeff Probst made a huge mistake during the live Survivor 50 finale, leaving the audience gasping.
In a critical moment of the game, which would determine the last castaway to take part in the jury, Probst got ahead of himself and revealed the loser of the fire-making challenge.
Aubry Bracco won the last immunity of the season and secured a spot in the Final 3, and saved Joe Hunter in the process by sending Rizo Velovic and Jonathan Young to the fire-making challenge.
As the challenge was about to play out on air, Probst brought out Rizo to talk about his fire-making skills, and as he was about to shoot to a commercial, he revealed he was the final member of the jury.
Things on the set were seemingly off as no one clapped or cheered, prompting Probst to ask, “What just happened?”
The jury members replied, “Fire hasn’t happened yet,” leaving Probst confused about the whole situation and the live studio audience gasping.
After the break, Probst acknowledged the blunder and played it off as a “Survivor twist” and the “last twist of the season.”
“I love doing live television,” Probst said, laughing off the situation. “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.”
