At the highly anticipated Survivor 50 finale on Wednesday host Jeff Probst had an all-time TV blunder where he by mistake spoiled who would be the last person to make the finale.
The gaff began as Probst was talking about the fire making challenge between Rizo and Johnathan.
'Camp life is also about firemaking,' Probst said as Rizo stood next him. 'I don't know if there's something in there to think about, anyway, Rizo, you've become the final member of our jury. Take a spot over here.'
'This is it. These are our people. Their games fell a little short, but this is the group that is going to,' Probst continued.
Probst seemed confused as he spoke during the live finale, before stopping.
'What just happened?' Probst asked.
Other contestants who were sitting around Rizo talked over each other as they told Jeff Probst that 'the fire hasn't happened yet.'
After they came back from commercial break Probst cleared the air.
'Alright, so, I love doing live television,' he said. 'In case you're confused, this is what happened. We were going to show you fire-making, and then have the loser of fire-making, Rizo, come out and talk about if he had practiced fire-making maybe he would've won. Instead, we did aSurvivortwist, it's the last twist of the season. We call it, "A peek into the future." So now, we're going to watch Rizo lose in a fire to Jonathan.'
The theme of season 50 was 'hands in the fans' where the fans could vote on certain elements of the show before production started. However,as the Washington Post describedit did not turn out as expected.
