Survivor fans have many gripes with the “new era.” It’s full of new advantages, lost votes, and extra flair, when most people just want the CBS reality competition series to return to the basics. But out of the game’s new features, Survivor Season 44 has made it clear which twist should be the first to go before the next season starts filming.

When Survivor 41 premiered in the fall of 2021, host Jeff Probst announced that the show had entered a “new era.” The earlier Survivor seasons featured summits, but those were mostly to facilitate merges or tribe swaps. Now, the journeys were all about gaining advantages in the game.

Once again, Survivor fans watched a new advantage come and go. But here is why we might not see the end of the inheritance advantage in season 44.

The first episode showed Matt Blankinship, Sarah Wade, and Lauren Harpe going on the journey. They all had to pick one of three packages to either lose their vote or gain an advantage.
Someone who loses their vote could draw again at the risk of losing their vote for two Tribal Councils. Sarah lost her vote and tried again. That time she got the inheritance advantage. The new advantage allows you to secretly inherit all advantages and idols played at one Tribal Council.
“That’s awesome,” the management consultant said. “I think that’s totally worth losing one vote.”

The twists keep coming on Survivor 44. This time one person from each tribe was moved to a new one, and they were given an idol. Showbiz Cheat Sheet talked to Sarah Wade over Zoom on March 23, 2023. She addresses the Tika women being voted out, finding out about her fake out, and her plan for the inheritance advantage.

Q: What’s your perspective on the boot order, specifically with Tika?
Sarah: So with Tika specifically, I think with the Helen [Li] vote, a lot of it was guided by Carson [Garrett], who told all of us that he thought Helen had an idol. So I think that was a huge piece of it. And people also thought me and Helen were close.

At the start of “Survivor 43” it was looking like series history would be made if they had become the first season to vote five women out in a row. Thankfully they dodged setting what would have been an unfortunate record, but sadly “Survivor 44” is already in the same position. Setting aside the medevac of Bruce Perreault on Day 1, four women have once again been the first four voted out of a “Survivor” game. If the players extend it to a fifth next week, they will make history as the first and only cast to eliminate five women out in a row.
As things stand, the game will remain in the three tribe format for at least one more episode. Ratu voted Maddy Pomilla out first, Tika is responsible for sending home both Helen Li and Sarah Wade, and Soka ousted Claire Rafson after she sat her out for three straight immunity challenges.

After watching another woman leave Survivor 44 during episode 3, one thing became clear to fans — the “new era” has a gender problem. Survivor 43 began with four women voted out before a man left the game. And season 44 followed suit, with three women eliminated before a man exited during Tribal Council. So why are women more in danger of going pre-merge? And is there a way for CBS to fix this issue in future Survivor seasons?

Bruce Perreault was the first to leave Survivor 44 on CBS for reasons beyond his control when he hit his head during the Reward Challenge in the premiere. Then, Ratu lost the first Immunity Challenge, and Maddy Pomilla was the first castaway voted out of the game when Brandon Cottom played his birdcage immunity idol. In episode 2, the...

After three episodes of “Survivor 44,” 14 castaways remain standing in the 26-day adventure to claim the million dollar prize and the title of “Sole Survivor.” By now, all three of the original tribes have gone to Tribal Council once, leaving us with a good impression of who is aligned with who and in whose pockets the idols and power rest.
At Tika, Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho is firmly planted at the top of a tribe desperately trying to hang on to their numbers. Can Yam Yam keep the small tribe in tact to go into the merge without a numbers disadvantage? Let’s take a look at how the tribe stacks up in our first power rankings of the season. Also check out the rankings for the Ratu tribe and Soka tribe.

The 44th season of “Survivor,” which is simply titled “Survivor 44,” was officially given the green light by CBS in March 2022 and began filming in Fiji immediately after the 43rd cycle wrapped production last summer. Just like Seasons 41-43, the show is adhering to strict Covid-19 safety guidelines for all cast and crew members, including host Jeff Probst. Read on for everything to know about the upcoming season of “Survivor 44,” including cast and air date information. Bookmark this page as we’ll be updating when new details are revealed.
“Survivor 44” cast
CBS officially announced the identities of the 18 cast members in January 2023. Once again, they are brand new (meaning no returning favorites or all-stars) and come from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, in adherence to the network’s 50 diversity mandate. This was put into effect in 2020 and ensures that half of its reality TV casts must be Black, Indigenous or...

The first episode of every “Survivor” season can often feel like homework, as viewers are introduced to multiple brand new personalities within the span of an hour. That’s why Gold Derby is providing you with this handy dandy cheat sheet of the “Survivor 44” tribe divisions and colors. Read on to see how the 18 castaways have been divided into the Ratu (orange), Soka (green) and Tika (purple) tribes for this Spring 2023 installment. The show premieres Wednesday, March 1 on CBS.
First up, a quick reminder that “Survivor 44” filmed last summer in the beautiful islands of Fiji (the show’s permanent home). That means these new contestants have no idea what happened during the 43rd installment. Once again, there will be no theme/subtitle for the new cycle. Gone are the days of titles like “Survivor: One World” or “Survivor: Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty,” replaced instead by the number of the season.

CBS’s description of season 44: “These motivated new players must form a society and adapt to their physical and social surroundings, forcing them to decide what is more dangerous: the environment or navigating the complex social game and placing trust in their tribemates.

Longtime “Survivor” host Jeff Probst recently announced that Season 44 of the granddaddy of all reality TV shows will premiere on CBS on Wednesday, March 1. Once again, this Spring 2023 competition will strand 18 all-new castaways on a deserted island in Fiji, where they will vote each other out until only one remains as the 1 million winner. We now know the “Survivor 44” cast list, and as usual they come from diverse backgrounds and walks of life.
Reminder: this 44th installment was filmed last summer in Mamanuca Islands, Fiji immediately after Probst wrapped up the final tribal council for Season 43 in which Mike Gabler was named the Sole Survivor.
