Survivor Season 41 -- Premieres 9/22/21
Ready to head back to the island? Jeff Probst is!
CBS’ Survivor is (finally!) returning to screens for it’s 41st season, starting with a two-hour premiere on Wednesday, Sept. 22. But that’s not all. The network announced additional details Monday that are bound shake up the game for its money- and adventure-hungry new crop of castaways.
For starters, production has shortened its filming time from 39 days to a “much more dangerous” 26-day game, which will increase the pacing of its twists and overall gameplay. (Keep in mind: Building in production time for quarantining cast members is very much a thing these days.) Probst will also break the fourth wall, addressing the audience directly throughout the season to let us in on some of the twists well before the players are made aware.
Season 41 will additionally include a brand new interactive element. Fans can test their own skills at home by playing the new “Game Within the Game,” where they can find and decode rebus puzzles hidden inside the episodes.
“I cannot remember a time when I’ve been this excited to launch a new season of Survivor,” said executive producer and host Jeff Probst in a statement. “Survivor 41 features a really likable group of savvy Survivor players and they are in for the most intense, most difficult and most dangerous season we’ve ever done.”
If that wasn’t enough to light your (camp)fire, CBS has also released the names and photos of its diverse new cast, continuing to make good on the network’s promise that at least 50 percent of its reality contestants will be Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). https://tvline.com/lists/survivor-se...os/brad-reese/

I'm so glad this is coming back. I love competition shows and this one is the best, IMO.

I've only watched a few episodes from the first few seasons. The don't mention a location in the title anymore. Do they still go to new locations each season or do they have more permanent sets now?

It's always Fiji though they usually don't mention it on air until the reunion show. It's gotten to the point though where contestants recognize locations like on Exile Island, from previous seasons, so they're not trying hide the fact that they're reusing the same location season after season.

I'm down for playing and helping out, but not as the main commissioner. I have two fantasy football leagues that I'm commissioner of and they're taking up quite a bit of time this fall. I can even make a game board if JuryDuty is out.

Probst is saying that last year they considered Hawaii and Georgia for a season, but the COVID situation kept changing and they couldn't make it work.

Less cast members and less time played. Don't like this much at all.

I spent a while trying to find the title for this season, but it seems this season has no title besides Season 41.

So basically zero eye candy now, zero alphas. Just boring SJW personalities. These shows clearly don't want to be entertaining anymore.

So Jeff changes one of his iconic catchphrases because one guy didn't like it? Wait until someone complains that calling them "tribes" is cultural appropriation.
The backstories are a terrible addition. This isn't America's Got Talent.

I just discovered that Paramount+ has 3 seasons of Survivor Australia. From what I've heard it's supposed to be pretty good. Not sure if I afford another huge time sink though.
