Jeff Probst Explains What Happened After Spoiling 'Survivor 50' Elimination During Live Finale - Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Jeff Probst is sharing a bit more insight into what happened when he revealed a spoiler during the Survivor 50 live season finale episode on Wednesday (May 20).

If you didn’t see, Jeff accidentally revealed that Rizo Velovic was sent home during the episode, before it aired for the public to see.

How did Jeff Probst give away a huge spoiler during the Survivor finale?

Jeff explained a bit about what happened during an interview on CBS Mornings on Thursday (May 21).

“What’s happening when you’re doing a Survivor finale is you’re running the show, the episode, and then you’re doing these live hits where I come out, and I talk to one of these players. I’m not watching the show,” Jeff said.

Jeff seemed to indicate he was backstage getting ready to speak with Rizo, resulting in the error.

“I’m backstage getting ready for my funny question with Rizo about it. ‘If only he had practiced fire-making.’ So I come out, we’re all set up on the stage, we’ve got an empty seat for Rizo. I don’t think anything’s weird,” Jeff continued.

“It wasn’t until I started talking to Rizo about losing in fire…I’m telling you, we had 1,200 people here, I could collectively feel the energy go to [the shocked face emoji,” Jeff relayed.
