Survivor 48 Premiere: Jeff Probst Talks [Spoiler]'s Biggest Mistake, Offers Advice to Future Players — Watch
48 Two challenge losses isn't the best way to kick-start a Survivor season, but that was the Vula tribe's fate in the season premiere of Survivor 48. More from TVLine Paradise's James Marsden Takes Us Inside Cal's Most POTUS Moment So Far: 'If I Were President, This Is How I Would Want to Speak' - Watch Survivor's Jeff Probst Weighs In on That Major Season 49 Casting Rumor The Voice Recap: Night 4 of the Blinds Saves the Best for Last - Feast Your Ears On the Dazzling Performance The team in green struggled to pull things together in Episode 1, with some castaways harboring different opinions on how the game's first three days should be played. While idol-finder Sai clocked Vula as a bunch of (:::checks notes:::) 'hoochie mamas' who were too busy playing the 'get to know you game,' things took a slight upturn after the tribe recouped its supplies and got its first fire going. But while Sai was hitting the ground running, scrambling for the idol and forging fast alliances, 'hard-hitting business lady' Stephanie worked more casually, trying to build strong foundations via authentic conversations. But after volunteering for the immunity challenge puzzle and failing to deliver the W, no amount of apologizing could've prevented her from becoming the season's first boot, and not even a Shot in the Dark could keep her torch lit. When host Jeff Probst stopped by our TVLine studio Monday, we asked him for his take on what went wrong and whether Steph could've done anything to save her game at Tribal Council. 'Stephanie is a great example of why Survivor is extremely difficult to win, because she's a leader,' Probst tells TVLine. 'She's in charge of a lot of people. She gets in this game and decides for a minute, 'I'm just going to sit on my hands and kind of see what happens.' Her hands never came out from under her butt. It happened too fast. Is she a bad player? No! She read the room, [made] a choice, it didn't work out. Put her on another tribe, she's Final 3, who knows… Stephanie tried to get a pulse and hers was gone by the time it was over.' In the video above, Probst also revealed some useful advice for future players of the game.

AC/DC's Power Up tour, its first U.S. run in nine years, will stop at the Rose Bowl
AC/DC has decreed it: Let there be rock. The legendary Australian band will launch its first U.S. tour since 2015 in the spring. The Power Up tour is slated for a 13-stop stadium run across North America, kicking off April 10 in Minneapolis and closing May 28 in Cleveland, the band announced Monday. Along the way, the group will play the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on April 18. The 102-year-old venue is set to undergo additional renovations ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games, during which the historic UCLA football stadium will host soccer matches. Earlier this year, AC/DC completed the European leg of its tour, which shares its name with the band's 2020 album, 'Power Up.' Framed as a tribute to the Grammy-winning troupe's founding guitarist Malcolm Young, who died in 2017, the LP became AC/DC's third No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 and closed out the year on Rolling Stone's list of Top 50 Albums of 2020. 'Power Up' also garnered Grammy nominations in 2022 for rock album, rock performance and music video for 'Shot in the Dark.' Taking the stage in the spring will be lead vocalist Brian Johnson — who exited the band's last U.S. tour early due to hearing loss — founding member and lead guitarist Angus Young, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young (who replaced his uncle Malcolm in 2014), drummer Matt Laug and bass player Chris Chaney. The current lineup of the band — save for Chaney, who replaced AC/DC's now-retired bassist Cliff Williams — last played in the U.S. at the 2023 Power Trip festival in Indio, where the quintet performed classics from 1980's 'Back in Black' to 1990's 'Thunderstruck.' AC/DC performed its first show on Dec. 31, 1973, at the Chequers Nightclub in Sydney and has since sold more than 200 million albums worldwide. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. Tickets for the U.S. leg of the Power Up tour go on sale Dec. 6 at noon on AC/DC's website.
