Watch Survivor season 49 online
If you’re yet to catch any of the previous 48 seasons, the game is simple: divided into tribes, the players compete in team games with the loser headed to Tribal Council, an elimination ceremony in which the players vote out a fellow tribe member.
It’s a gripping game, and one where social capital and influence matter as much as strength and endurance. Players will have to dig deep physically and mentally, forging alliances, carefully choosing who to trust, and laying down plans to ensure they’re not the victim of a blindside betrayal.
This year’s islanders include Alex, a political comms director who will know how to spin things the right way, Kristina, a career coach who may have just the right powers of influence and MC, a fitness trainer who is likely to excel at the physical side of the game. There’s also Nate, a film producer who’s worked on the likes of Black Panther, and Sophie, who makes a living in strategy.
It’s set to be another tense season of beachside backstabbing and island endurance, so read on to find out how to watch Survivor season 49 online and from anywhere around the world.
