Survivor has always named its episodes after quirky or unique quotes from the contestants and/or Jeff, and the finale is no exception. The official title is "Only One of Youse Can Win," though it's unclear which person is responsible for the specific quote. Might it be a voted-off player, who lashes out after their torch is snuffed? Or maybe it's someone who's knocked out of a challenge early? Find out next Wednesday.
Oh, yes! There will be two immunity challenges throughout the three-hour episode, the first one featuring the Final 5 and the second one between the Final 4. The winner of the last challenge will get to choose one person to bring with them to the Final 3, while the remaining two people will compete in a fire-making challenge to see who advances, and who is eliminated in fourth place.
CBS
As of this writing, the six people still left in the game are:
Eva Erickson: 24-year-old PhD candidate from Providence, R.I.
Joe Hunter: 46-year-old fire captain from West Sacramento, Calif.
Kamilla Karthigesu: 31-year-old software engineer from Foster City, Calif.
Kyle Fraser: 31-year-old attorney from Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mitch Guerra: 34-year-old P.E. coach from Waco,Texas
Shauhin Davari: 38-year-old debate professor from Costa Mesa, Calif.
One of these contestants will be ousted during the May 14 episode, leaving just five to compete in the finale on May 21.
The jury of eight started at the Top 11, with Cedrek McFadden becoming the first jury member. He was followed by Chrissy Sarnowsky, David Kinne, Star Toomey, and Mary Zheng, and three more will soon join them. These eight jurors will vote for who they think deserves the $1 million prize. (Note that the seven people voted out first do not participate in this stage of the competition: Stephanie Berger, Kevin Leung, Justin Pioppi, Thomas Krottinger, Bianca Roses, Charity Nelms, and Saiounia "Sai" Hughley.)
With eight jurors and three finalists, it's possible we could see a tie vote — that's what happened in Season 36, Survivor: Ghost Island. If there's a tie, the third-place finalist gets to cast the tie-breaking vote. During the Ghost Island finale, Laurel Johnson received the least amount of jury votes (zero), so she cast the tie-breaking vote between Wendell Holland and Domenick Abbate, picking Wendell.

To date, 45 different people have won CBS's reality TV show, spread out over 47 seasons — see the updated winners list. Sandra Diaz-Twine (Pearl Islands, Heroes vs. Villains) and Tony Vlachos (Cagayan, Winners at War) are the franchise's only two-time champions, with the former taking home a combined $2 million, and the latter claiming a combined $3 million, since Winners at War rewarded double the prize money. Who will join the list of champions for Season 48?

'Ghost Adventures' Star Aaron Goodwin Gets Emotional Confronting Estranged Wife as She Is Sentenced for Conspiring to Murder Him
Aaron Goodwin confronted his estranged wife Victoria Goodwin during her sentencing on June 5 He told the judge he "will never feel safe" and he fears for his life after finding out that his estranged wife conspired to have him killed Victoria was sentenced to a minimum of 36 months and a maximum of 90 months in prison after taking a plea deal in AprilAaron Goodwin confronted his estranged wife Victoria Goodwin for conspiring to murder him. The Ghost Adventures star, 49, read a statement in court as Victoria was sentenced on Thursday, June 5, detailing how he felt when he found out that she had been plotting his murder and the subsequent fear he had for his safety. 'For seven years I thought I was in [the] most loving relationship of marriage with my best friend, someone I trusted [with my] whole heart and laughed with every day. Someone who made me feel like I was so — like I was her one and only,' an emotional Goodwin told the judge, per Court TV. "Now, discovering she put a hit out to kill me more than once, got blackmailed and spent almost all our savings to keep it quiet … This has led me to fear [for] my life,' he continued, through tears. 'I've hired armed security for weeks. Not knowing [whether] it was over or not.' Aaron, who filed for divorce from Victoria in March, told the judge that ever since he found out about the plot, he has been 'looking over' his shoulder and going through therapy to understand everything that has happened. He then described the feeling as a 'heartbreak no one should go through in life," stating, "The fact that this person did all this to me with no worry, no care or love in her heart for me, I will never feel the same." "I will never feel safe or be the same because of what she did. Especially when she gets out one day," Aaron added. 'Whether she [gets] minimum or maximum time, I still won't feel safe whenever she's released. I feel like this deserves prison time." Victoria was later sentenced to a minimum of 36 months and a maximum of 90 months in prison, according to KVVU-TV. She previously accepted a plea deal in April, pleading guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit murder. Victoria was initially taken into custody on March 6 on charges of soliciting to commit murder and conspiring to commit murder. She allegedly conspired with convicted murderer Grant Amato, with whom she began a relationship in March 2024, after seeing him in the Paramount+ true crime docuseries, Ctrl + Alt + Desire, per a police report.

After Victoria and Amato met, she allegedly conspired to kill Aaron with her new lover's help — allegedly going as far as discussing payments for his murder. Their alleged plans were discovered when a phone Amato had been communicating with Victoria on was confiscated by prison security guards. Aaron and Victoria had been married since August 2022. Following the news of Victoria's alleged murder-for-hire plan, Aaron filed for divorce in a complaint that read, "There is no possibility of reconciliation between husband and wife.' Aaron later thanked his fans for their continued support in a March 22 Instagram post. "Thank you everyone for all the love and support through this emotionally trying time. It has really helped a lot and I appreciate you all,' he wrote. Read the original article on People

Is ‘Special Ops: Lioness' returning for season 3? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 7, 2025, 19:48 IST Special Ops: Lioness , the gripping spy thriller created by Taylor Sheridan, has kept audiences on edge with its high-stakes missions and stellar cast, including Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman. With Season 2 wrapping up on December 8, 2024, fans are eagerly asking: Is Special Ops: Lioness Season 3 happening? Here's everything we know so far. Has Special Ops: Lioness Been Renewed for Season 3? As of now, Paramount+ has not officially confirmed Special Ops: Lioness Season 3. However, there are strong indicators that a third season is likely. Zoe Saldaña, who stars as CIA operative Joe McNamara, revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair that she signed on for at least three seasons, suggesting a contractual commitment for more episodes. Additionally, South African streaming platform Showmax responded to a fan inquiry, stating that Season 3 is 'confirmed' and expected to arrive 'soon,' though no official announcement from Paramount+ has backed this claim yet. Special Ops: Lioness Potential Release Date for Season 3 Without an official renewal, no specific release date for Special Ops: Lioness Season 3 has been announced. However, based on the production timelines of previous seasons, we can make an educated guess. Season 1 premiered in July 2023, and Season 2 debuted in October 2024, with filming for Season 1 occurring between September 2022 and January 2023. If Season 3 follows a similar schedule, production could begin in mid-2025, potentially leading to a release in late 2025 or early 2026. What Will the Plot of Season 3 Be About? Special Ops: Lioness follows Joe McNamara and her team of female operatives as they undertake dangerous undercover missions to combat terrorism. Each season introduces a new high-risk operation, and Season 2 ended with the intense 'Operation Sky Hawk,' where the team intercepted Chinese nuclear scientists in Iraq to prevent escalation with Iran and China. The finale left several storylines open, setting the stage for Season 3. While specific plot details remain speculative, Season 3 is expected to dive into a new mission, potentially involving global conflicts hinted at in Season 2, such as tensions with China over Taiwan or new geopolitical threats. The series' signature blend of espionage, action, and moral dilemmas will likely continue, with Joe grappling with the personal toll of her covert work. Fans can also expect more paranoia, double-crosses, and intense firefights, as teased by the Season 2 finale's setup. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
