Jeff Probst accidentally reveals 'Survivor' spoiler during live finale
On Wednesday, Survivor host Jeff Probst mistakenly introduced contestant Rizo Velovic as a jury member before his fire-making elimination challenge aired on CBS during the live Survivor 50 finale.
Velovic lost the crucial Final Four fire-making duel to Jonathan Young, an outcome revealed to millions of viewers watching the live broadcast before the taped footage was shown.
Probst joked that the premature reveal was a 'Survivor twist' after fellow contestants and the audience noticed the blunder, later explaining the intended broadcast sequence.
Aubry Bracco won Survivor 50 with eight jury votes, while fellow contestant Cirie Fields received the fan-voted Sia Award, which includes a $100,000 prize.
Social media users pointed out the gaffe in real time as the clip circulated, exposing technical challenges during the show's first live reunion broadcast in a decade.
