Survivor 48 Premiere Recap — Playing Hard From the Jump

We’re going to kick off our Survivor 48 coverage by…talking about Survivor 50. As you likely have heard by now, Jeff Probst and co are putting some of the production decisions for the hugely anticipated 50th season in the hands of the fans.
While a return to 39 days is not on the table – much to many fans’ chagrin – other key aspects are being left up to fan votes. And that started tonight, with four items on the ballot, along with my votes:
Tribe Colors – Orange, Teal (?), Purple Rice or No Rice – Rice Final 4 Firemaking – No Live Reunion in LA or Fiji After Show – Live Reunion
With how successful the fan vote was for the Second Chance season back in 2015, it’s not surprising the show went back to that well. And it actually showed incredible restraint patiently waiting until they had the right moment to do it again.
I like this a lot.
