‘Survivor’ 47 Premiere Plot Details & Tribes Revealed (PHOTOS)
The yearly tradition of critiquing Survivor players from the comforts of our homes is upon us!
Survivor 47 premieres Wednesday, September 18 on CBS with a two-hour episode packed with action. The series has released the first photos from the Season 47 premiere, revealing the three tribe names for this season and plot details for Episode 1.
Titled “One Glorious and Perfect Episode,” the Survivor Season 47 premiere will show 18 new castaways being abandoned on the breathtaking islands of Fiji, where they must learn to adapt or they will be voted out, per CBS. (See the full Survivor 47 cast here.)
Tribes must quickly pick up the pieces in the first challenge of the season to earn a pot, machete and flint. Then, two castaways are chosen to go on a journey to find the X that marks the spot.
The players will be divided into three tribes of six. The tribe names are Gata (yellow), Lavo (orange), and Tuku (blue). See how the players are divvied up in the first challenge of Survivor 47 below. As always, host Jeff Probst is in on the action to guide them through it all.
