US Edition‘Survivor’ Host Jeff Probst’s Stern Warning to Future Players
Two players were removed for rule violations before Survivor 49 began, leading to the unprecedented use of both alternates to preserve game integrity, host Jeff Probst said.
- Jeff Probst announced that two players were removed from Survivor 49 in Fiji just before the game, replaced by alternates Jason Treul and Michelle Chukwujekwu.
- The removals followed violations of Survivor's strict rules against engaging with other players before the game starts, a first in the show's history.
- Jason and Michelle were notified only 12 hours before the opening marooning and entered a cast of 18, including 16 other original players.
- Probst emphasized that Survivor enforces clear guidelines and takes decisive action if a contestant violates them, hoping this serves as a strong deterrent for those who compete in the future.
- Survivor 49 premieres on CBS September 24, marking the most alternate-involved season yet and reinforcing the show’s commitment to maintaining game integrity.
