Survivor 51 has taken the torch. The new cast takes center stage.
We saw our first glimpse of the Survivor 51 cast during a promo shown during the Season 50 finale.
The Live Reunion Show returned (sort of), with host Jeff Probst leading everyone through the motions.
Viewers got to watch most of the Season 50 finale, and then it was time to tease what comes next.
As recently reported by Tea on TV, Survivor 51 has finished filming. Now the producers can work on editing the episodes that will debut in the fall.
