One more fan vote will be unveiled in Survivor 50's penultimate episode on May 13, with the result held for the three-hour live finale on May 20.
Jeff Probst said the finale will run as one continuous live event rather than a finale plus short reunion, with player check-ins throughout the night before the winner is revealed onstage.
The May 20 broadcast marks Survivor's first live finale since Season 39, a return fans effectively chose through this season's "In the Hands of the Fans" voting.
Season 50 also restores the top prize to $2 million for the first time since Winners at War, while Probst signaled more returning-player seasons could arrive soon; Season 51 is already filming.
After this fan-controlled season, what does Survivor's new '50s era' have in store for the next generation of players?
With a $2 million prize on the line, will a Survivor legend's reputation help or hurt them with the jury?
Has putting Survivor 'In the Hands of the Fans' created a better game or just a bigger spectacle?
