‘Survivor’ season 47 premiere: How to watch, where to stream free
The two-hour season 47 premiere of Survivor is scheduled to premiere on CBS Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 8/7c.
Eighteen new participants will be divided into three tribes of six and face a twist-packed season from the moment they step on the beach located in the beautiful islands of Fiji.
This season of Survivor will feature a notable new crop of competitors hoping to leave their mark on the game, including “Pod Save America” co-host and former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett, who finds himself thrust into a world filled with a different kind of cutthroat politics, according to CBS.
Other Survivor 47 contestants will include a flight school owner, an ER doctor and an AI research assistant. However, only one will claim the title of Sole Survivor and win the $1 million prize.

How does Survivor work?
According to Britannica, the Survivor format involves a group of usually 16 to 20 contestants who are sequestered in a remote, exotic location and compete for a cash prize. They are initially divided into two teams (“tribes”) and are expected to survive (build shelter, find food, etc.) with a minimal number of tools.
The teams periodically compete against each other in tests, called “challenges,” involving physical endurance, problem-solving ability, and resourcefulness. (The motto of the American version of the show is “Outwit. Outplay. Outlast.”) The tribe that wins a “reward challenge” is awarded “luxury” items (such as food, equipment or phone calls).
The tribe that wins an “immunity challenge” is temporarily safe from elimination from the larger contest, while the losing tribe attends a “tribal council” with the show’s host at the end of each episode to oust one of its members from the show through a secret vote.
