That’s how the first season ofSurvivorwas introduced during its premiere on May 31, 2000. By the time the finale aired on Aug. 23, over 50 million people tuned in to watch the first-ever Sole Survivor,Richard Hatch, be crowned, and the show has been a fan favorite since.
Now entering its 46th season,Survivorstill follows thesame basic premise: A group of people live on separate beaches in tribes, where they must work together to win the immunity challenges and avoid going to the dreaded tribal council.
As viewers know, this is where things get tense as the losing tribe has to deliberate and anonymously vote out one of their own and hostJeff Probstgets to say his most iconic line: “The tribe has spoken.”
The smaller tribes eventually merge into one group and players compete against each other to win individual immunity and protect themselves at the tribal council.
When two or three contestants are left, a Final Tribal Council is held, and the remaining players plead their case to the jury using the show’s motto — “Outwit, Outplay, Outlast” — to justify how they played the best game.
In the end, the jury, comprised of contestants previously voted out, anonymously votes for who they believe has earned the right to be named the Sole Survivor — the person who played the best well-rounded game to get to the end.
