How to watch ‘Survivor 50’ from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching “Survivor 50” on your usual subscription?
You can still watch the action live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It’s the best on the market:
Using a VPN is incredibly simple, just follow these steps.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you’re away from Canada and want to view your usual domestic service, you’d select Canada from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service that’s showing “Survivor 50” online and watch just like you would at home.

‘Survivor 50’ – FAQ
What are the three most shocking moments in 50 seasons of “Survivor”??
In reverse order:
3: “Advantage-geddon” (season 34) – Cirie Fields eliminated without a single vote after attending Tribal Council while every other player had immunity via idols or advantages.
2: “Dead Grandma” (season 7) – Ironically-named Jonny Fairplay became first supervillain on show after lying that his grandmother died to win sympathy. Must be a family trait as the old girl was in on it.
1: “Poor Erik” (season 16) – Erik Reichenbach won individual immunity but was convinced to give up the necklace by four remaining female cast members. He was then immediately voted out.
