By Selome Hailu, Emily Longeretta “Inconceivable” – This week’s immunity challenge is riddled with frustration, putting slow and steady gameplay to the test. As the race to $2M draws closer, idols and advantages come to the forefront. Then, a self proclaimed “rat” at the Manulevu camp spills information in hopes of leading to personal triumph, on SURVIVOR 50, Wednesday, May 13 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ Premium plan subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.

Jeff Probst is slamming prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket for allowing users to make trades about who won “Survivor” Season 50, saying that the companies are “incentivizing people to lie, cheat and steal to get ahead.”

“They have figured out a way to capitalize on [the show],” he tells Variety. “It doesn’t sit well with me as a human. I get it — they built a great business. They don’t care.”
