About this episode

We’re throwing it back to Survivor Season 1! Jeff takes a deep dive into the fundamentals of the premiere season that still hold true today — from his wardrobe to the iconic phrase that closes out every tribal council, “The Tribe Has Spoken.” Brittany also goes behind the scenes of how she produced season 44 episode 5, demonstrating how the show has remained committed to its core format and philosophical approach over the past 23 years. 

Watch all new episodes of Survivor, Wednesdays on CBS and streaming and on demand on Paramount+. Then catch all-new episodes of “On Fire with Jeff Probst” right after the show. Don't forget you can also stream all episodes of Survivor back to season 1 on Paramount+!
