After a year of waiting, Survivor season 41 has finally arrived. Here's when new episodes air on CBS and when fans can expect the Survivor 41 finale.
Warning! SPOILERS for Survivor season 41 episodes 1 and 2 ahead!
Fans had to be patient for Survivor season 41, but they've finally been rewarded as the long-running reality competition series has a set air schedule that indicates when viewers can expect the grand finale. Even though Survivor 41 was set to premiere in September 2020, the beloved competition show was pushed back an entire year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. For fans eager to embark on the new Survivor chapter, here's everything there is to know about what night the reality series airs on CBS and when to anticipate the Survivor season 41 finale.
The long-awaited Survivor 41 premiered on September 22. Ever since the show came back on the air, fans are already shocked at all of the drama oozing from season 41. In the first episode, 18 new cast members arrived on the island to compete for $1 million. During the season premiere, a stark contrast between the "macho" mentality and the women of the Yase tribe was highlighted. Eric Abraham thought that a physically strong team would reap the most reward, resulting in him eyeing Tiffany Seely as the weakest link. This backfired on Eric, who went home after the Yase women rejected that strategy of his. MIT graduate Sara Wilson also met a similarly disappointing fate during the Survivor season 41 premiere as she was voted out on day three. Then, in episode 2, surgeon David Voce was shockingly eliminated, proving that anything can happen this season.
After three dramatic eliminations in the first two riveting episodes of Survivor 41, fans can rest assured that this season will be a standout. The next episode of season 41 will air on Wednesday, October 6, at 8 p.m. EST on CBS. Ever since host Jess Probst tweeted that "Wednesday night is @survivorcbs night on @CBS!" back in July, avid fans have known to clear their Wednesday night schedules. As such, fans can expect new Survivor 41 episodes to air for the next few months on Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. on CBS. The show is scheduled to always air prior to Tough As Nails. Not much is known about what will unfold in the upcoming episodes, except for the titles. Survivor season 41 episode 3 is titled "My Million Dollar Mistake", whereas episode 4 is titled "They Hate Me Because They Ain't Me".
Despite the fact that Jeff shared the season 41 schedule on social media, he has yet to announce when fans can expect the Survivor 41 finale to air on CBS. Fortunately, Survivor has a reliable track record that makes it possible to predict a possible finale date. This season is scheduled to have 12 episodes based on Survivor's official website for the "Game Within The Game" twist. This means that the finale will likely air on December 8 and the reunion special will fall on December 15. Fortunately for Survivor fans, their fall TV schedule will be filled with exciting episodes of season 41 until the very end of 2021. While some tribes have gotten off to a rocky start, this season is still anyone's game with over 10 episodes still to come.
Season 41 has been a long time coming, but audiences' patience has finally paid off. Since the Survivor 41 premiere on September 22, the long-running hit series has claimed Wednesday nights and will continue to reign over the 8 p.m. time slot until its possible finale date on December 8. Alas, until Jeff officially confirms the finale date, Survivor 41 fans can sit back and enjoy this exciting season.
