Behind the scenes of "Survivor" Season 48
CBSN
Divide 18 strangers into three "tribes"; drop them on remote islands with little food and no shelter, and have them outwit and outplay one another until the last competitor standing is crowned the winner of a $1 million prize. When the adventure reality game show "Survivor" debuted on CBS in May 2000, nothing like it had been seen on American television before.
Asked to describe the series, "Survivor" host and showrunner Jeff Probst said, "It is a social experiment, in that it takes a group of people who don't know each other, and forces them to rely on each other, while playing this game where you vote each other out."
Probst invited "Sunday Morning" to watch this experiment for ourselves, in Fiji, as he began taping Season 48, which premieres on CBS and Paramount+ this Wednesday.
