About this episode

The votes are in and the winner of Survivor 45 joins Jeff, Jay, and Rick for an exclusive interview, but first, they unpack the must-watch moments of the season finale. The final 5 races for the last advantage fueled by desperation. Tribal council doesn’t disappoint as a secret idol is revealed and a last-minute vote change determines the final 4. 

“You break it, you buy it” stands true for Survivor challenges as one player takes their frustration out on the game in the final immunity challenge. Some players practice fire-making until their fingers are covered in blisters, but there’s no way to prepare for the pressure and fear that will loom over them during the challenge. Jeff shares why players are making fire faster and faster in recent seasons and reveals a change coming in Survivor 46 that will alter the game for seasons to come. 

That’s a wrap for this season of On Fire! Survivor 46 premieres February 28, 2024, on CBS and Paramount+. Until then you can stream past seasons of Survivor on Paramount+.
