Survivor: Game Changers may be ending tonight, but the CBS show that has spawned 34 seasons is promising to deliver on its game changing theme. Emmy Award winning host, Jeff Probst has weighed in on the contestants still competing.

"It has been another amazing season of nuanced game play by Cirie. There's a reason she is a fan favorite," Probst shared with The Hollywood Reporter before continuing to give high praise to contestant Cirie Fields. "Cirie's strength is her ability to maneuver within alliances; her weakness is she does not do well in challenges, so she rarely controls her own fate."

Probst is known for his love for Fields, but he also took time to acknowledge his appreciation for contestant, Aubry Bracco. "One of the smartest to ever play, she has once again put herself within striking distance of the end," Probst went on to explain. "Much like the first time she played, Aubry has had to work hard every step of the way. Sometimes you get a bit of Survivor luck, sometimes you have to work around the bad luck. Aubry must continue to play the way she has for the past 35 days: moment by moment, and look for an opening."

When it comes to favorite, Brad Culpepper, Probst had less than strong praise. "Culpepper came out very strong, but seems to be waning a bit in these last days," Probst elaborated. "I think he is seen as a threat and people want him out."

Adding to the Survivor hype, a special sneak peek of the finale was also recently released. Though it provides insight into an upcoming challenge, the preview doesn't reveal any secrets about the season's results.


The last days gearing up for the finale are the most brutal for the remaining contestants. Six still remain in the competition which will be cut to three before the final tribal council. However, twists and cards are still being held by certain contestants, which are bound to shake up the results. As of now, Sarah Lacina holds the legacy advantage, while Troyzan Robertson has an immunity idol that will grant him safety. Tai Trang however, holds two idols, which close to guarantees him reaching the final tribal council.

The Survivor finale will begin tonight on CBS at 8 p.m. After the three eliminations, the final tribal council will begin with the season's jury members questioning the remaining contestants. At the end, they will cast their votes for the winner, the results of which will be shared at a reunion special immediately following the episode. Information about season 35 is also expected to be shared.
