'Survivor' Season 48, Episode 5 recap: What makes Jeff Probst become emotional?
'Survivor' Season 48, Episode 5 recap: What makes Jeff Probst become emotional? Show Caption Hide Caption The most anticipated TV shows of 2025 USA TODAY TV critic Kelly Lawler shares her top 5 TV shows she is most excited for this year In what may be a first in the show's long and storied history, "Survivor" host Jeff Probst became visibly emotional during a challenge in this week's episode. The fifth episode of Season 48, titled "Master Class in Deception," saw contestants first participate in a reward challenge where the winning tribe would visit the Sanctuary and be rewarded with pastries, iced coffees and milk. The Lagi tribe emerged victorious, heading to the Sanctuary, and the Vula tribe came in second, using the reward to further bond as teammates. But it was the immunity challenge that saw the standout emotional moment from this week's episode. The three tribes started in the water, pulling a boat in with a rope. Once they got to the beach, they had to crawl under a wooden beam and dig through the sand until eventually each tribe member had to place a ball in a hole in a wooden maze puzzle. After heading to tribal council last week, the Vula tribe emerged victorious, working together well and speeding through the puzzle to win the first immunity. Then, it became a race between the Lagi and Civa tribes. On Lagi, Eva Erickson was having trouble completing the puzzle, and began to feel overwhelmed even as her teammates cheered her on. In the midst of a meltdown, Eva was able to finish the puzzle, winning the final immunity for Lagi and sending Civa to tribal council. But even in Lagi's victory, Eva was still visibly upset and emotional, until Probst asked Joe Hunter of the Vula tribe (Eva's former tribemate) if he would like to give her a hug. Joe embraced Eva, speaking to her and helping her calm down, and Eva eventually revealed to Probst and the rest of the players that she was diagnosed with autism at a very young age and sometimes, when overwhelmed, goes into what she called a "meltdown." Players applauded Eva for sharing her story, even bringing Probst to tears. "Wow, this has never happened," an emotional Probst said. Although the moment was overshadowed by Eva sharing her story with her tribemates, the Civa tribe still came in last and were headed to tribal council to vote a member out.

Once the Civa members were back on their beach before heading to tribal council, Bianca Roses realized she was in a predicament. Roses had lost her vote in a previous episode, effectively giving her no power in the forthcoming events. At first, she kept this information to herself, working both sides of the Chrissy Sarnowsky-Mitch Guerra alliance and the tenuous Cedrek McFadden-Sai Hughley alliance. At first, Chrissy and Mitch were game to vote out Sai, and Bianca worked to convince Cedrek to do the same. But just as they were leaving for tribal council, Bianca revealed her secret to Cedrek in the hopes it would garner trust and further influence his vote on Sai. But things did not go according to plan for Bianca, who of course had no vote and no power at tribal council. Mitch voted for Sai, Sai voted for Chrissy, and in a surprise twist, Cedrek and Chrissy voted for Bianca, who had no vote at all, making the 33-year-old PR consultant living in Arlington, Virginia, the fifth person to be voted out of Season 48. 'Survivor' Season 48 cast: Meet the 18 castaways hoping to win $1 million in Fiji Who went home last week on 'Survivor' Season 48? Last episode, a tribe swap mixed up the original teams as players dropped their buffs, creating new Civa, Vula and Lagi tribes. Morale was high leading into the episode's immunity challenge, where the first and second finishers were guaranteed safety and a much-coveted reward of fresh fruit to bring back to camp. But as players had to heave sandbags, move through an obstacle course, toss balls and complete a puzzle, the Vula tribe (with no original Vula members on it) were once again the last team to finish. Heading to tribal council with three original Lagi members and two Civa, the Civa members pretended to not have a tight alliance with each other in hopes of not becoming the target of the majority. Kamilla Karthigesu (a Civa) even told other members she suspected Thomas Krottinger (a Lagi) of lying about not having an advantage from a "journey" he had taken a few episodes prior, further sowing distrust. Just before tribal council, original Lagi member Shauhin Davari searched Kyle Fraser's bag (a Civa) for a hidden immunity idol. Luckily, Shauhin did not find the idol, which Kyle did in fact have. Kyle correctly guessed he was the target of the vote and played his hidden immunity idol, nullifying the three votes from Thomas, Shauhin and Joe Hunter (a Lagi) cast against him. Kyle and Kamilla voted for Thomas, thus making the 34-year-old music executive living in Los Angeles the fourth person voted out of the game.

Jeff Probst Just Gave A Masterclass On How To Engage With Someone With A Disability, And Everyone Everywhere Should Be Taking Notes
As a huge fan of Survivor, I had tears in my eyes this season when host Jeff Probst spoke with a contestant about his disability during a challenge on a recent episode. CBS shared the video on TikTok, and the interaction has since gone viral. @cbssurvivor / Via The clip begins with Mitch, a member of the Civa tribe and P.E. coach from Waco, Texas, explaining how the last few days had been for his tribe: "...a really good — a really good couple of days because of it." @cbssurvivor / Via Mitch is a person who stutters, and he struggled a bit as he needed extra time to finish the rest of his sentence. "Stuttering is a speech disorder characterized by repetition of sounds, syllables, or words; prolongation of sounds; and interruptions in speech known as blocks. An individual who stutters exactly knows what he or she would like to say but has trouble producing a normal flow of speech," according to the National Institute of Health. Jeff then paused the conversation. "Mitch," he asked, "I have a question. When you're struggling, do you want help from someone?" @cbssurvivor / Via "Or is part of it is to let you finish when you're ready to finish?" @cbssurvivor / Via Mitch replied, "The hope is that everyone would just kind of hang in there for me." @cbssurvivor / Via "And just give me the opportunity to finish my sentence." @cbssurvivor / Via Mitch then continued, "But I'm so thankful you asked that." "Because honestly, like, people just naturally want to help others." @cbssurvivor / Via "And sometimes we don't feel comfortable enough, like, asking that. So thank you for that." @cbssurvivor / Via "Thank you for teaching us how to do it," Jeff said. Commenters who stutter celebrated the conversation. "As a person who stutters, I feel so seen ❤️," one said. "As a person with a stutter, I love that this is said on a popular program like survivor," said another. "So much of our support comes from people giving us the opportunity and comfortability to speak freely." Another said, "I had a horrible stutter as a child and I would feel so defeated when people would finish my sentences for me. ... What a lovely way for this to be addressed!" Even speech pathologists and therapists weighed in on the interaction: "I am a speech pathologist and I absolutely love that Jeff asked the question 🩷 so respectful." Another said, "as a speech therapist, I love this so much. we teach kids a lot how to accept their stutter rather than 'fix it' and how to advocate for themselves so this is beautiful." Others found the conversation informative and said it would influence the way they interact with people who stutter. "I admire Jeff for asking this! I admittedly will be one to 'help' so this is a great reminder for me to pause and give space." "I'm crying even during this replay... what an amazing Survivor moment. It also gave me some insight on how to offer people a chance to finish instead of trying to help," said another. And finally, commenters praised Jeff for his ability to have respectful conversations with contestants. "One thing jeff is gonna do is be a human transparently and respectfully 💜," said one commenter. If you are a person with a disability, how do you feel about this interaction? And how do you want others to support you? Let us know in the comments.
