Fans will get a chance to vote on key game elements for the first time in “Survivor” history for the 50th season of the hit reality game show.
“Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans” is celebrating the fans of the show with fan-centric festivities leading up to the premiere in February 2026. The fans will get to decide key elements through votes, and the players won’t know what the fans voted for until they are actually on the island competing.
There will be multiple rounds of voting that include “Idols or No Idols,” “Final Four Fire Making: Keep It or Lose It” and “Live Finale and Reunion Show in L.A. – or Keep the Winner Reveal and Aftershow in the Jungles of Fiji.” Voting will close before they start filming the 50th season.
How to vote: Voting opens for the first four categories at survivor50cbs.votenow.tv at 9:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025.
“From the very first season, SURVIVOR has been evolving. Now, for our 50th season, it’s time for the next evolution,” said executive producer and host Jeff Probst. “‘SURVIVOR 50: In the Hands of the Fans’ is unlike anything we’ve done before. For the first time ever, our loyal fans will take control – deciding key elements of the game, from twists to idols to advantages. I can’t wait to see what the fans choose for our returning players!”
