Jeremy offers the mindset players need to win the make-or-break Final Four Challenge, and the guys debate whether any player is ever truly off the table, even with an idol in their pocket. Then, the team sits down for the first interviews with two of the Final Five, Rizo and Savannah, who are both returning for Survivor 50!

And both players reveal what it was like to leave 49 and turn around to play again just a few weeks later. Plus, Jeff shares his real-time casting notes on each member of the final 5. And, he reveals the details of the massive, nationwide Survivor 50 Challenge, where you can find one of 50 authentic hidden immunity idols across the country. You don't want to miss it!
