the money behind: Survivor
Transcript
Someone is walking away with $2,000,000 after the survivor season fifty finale tonight, and the prize money story goes a lot deeper than that. The competition reality TV show where players outwit, outplay, and outlast each other to earn the title of sole survivor is now in its fiftieth season made up entirely of returning players who have never won. Tier format is simple. Anywhere from 16 to 24 players are stranded on an island split into different tribes competing head to head in physical challenges while navigating the social strategy of the game all over the course of either twenty tier or thirty nine days depending on the season. For this grueling journey, every player gets paid. The first person voted out goes home with $2,500 for roughly three days on the island. From there, it incrementally increases with each placement. Third place takes home 85,000, second place, a 100,000, and the winner a cool 1,000,000. On top of that, historically better best has received a $10,000 reunion bonus shown with this dark green. Now on top of these base winnings, throughout the show's history, there have been other ways players have walked away with extra money. The fan favorite award ran from seasons eight through twenty six and included prizes like in season eight when Rupert Bonham finished fourth.
