If you\u2019re going to be a celebrity guest on Survivor 50<\/a>, do it like Jimmy \u201cMrBeast\u201d Donaldson<\/a>: brief and impactful in a meaningful way. The YouTuber helped Jeff Probst<\/a> deliver one of the biggest twists in Survivor<\/a>\u2018s 50 seasons, marking a change that has long been desired by viewers but never actually came true.\u00a0Warning: Spoilers for Survivor 50 Episode 10 ahead!<\/p>\n

This episode was loaded with\u00a0Survivor favorites: the\u00a0Survivor\u00a0auction, letters from home, chaotic strategy pre-tribal council, and one hell of a live tribal. MrBeast appeared in the auction to announce he was bringing a new Super Beware Advantage to tribal council, the details of which wouldn\u2019t be revealed until then. Before this, Zac Brown<\/a>, Billie Eilish<\/a>, and Jimmy Fallon have all made an impact<\/a> on the game to middling to angry reactions from fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In tribal and before the Beast Games host<\/a>\u00a0arrived, Rick Devens<\/a> aired everyone\u2019s dirty laundry by revealing the vote plans he heard, followed by a pitch to the players in danger. Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick<\/a> tried to push back when he revealed her moves, but people didn\u2019t buy it. That was the first part of the live tribal, and then came the MrBeast twist.<\/p>\n

Donaldson arrived with his branded briefcase, and Probst explained the twist. It was a gold coin with which one player would play heads or tails. If it landed on what they called, they were safe from elimination, got an immunity idol, and for the first time ever, the Survivor prize money<\/a> would increase to $2 million. If they lost, the prize money remained at $1 million and the voting would be canceled. The coin flipper would be eliminated and sent to the jury.<\/p>\n

Devens revealed his fake idol gimmick to the entire tribe earlier in the episode. He had nothing to lose, and even more so after he revealed Stephenie\u2019s alliance\u2019s voting plan. He volunteered for the coin toss, and everyone let him play. He won, locking in a $2 million\u00a0Survivor\u00a0prize for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

With Devens immune, another live tribal began, resulting in Stephenie being voted out. Stephenie and Jonathan Young\u2019s alliance<\/a> tried to pull ahead in the game with their plan to use Devens as a smokescreen for an Ozzy Lusth<\/a> elimination.<\/p>\n

Cirie Fields<\/a> showed her strategic and social power again when currying the votes against Stephenie before tribal, as well as backup plans. With that, her alliance with Ozzy maintained control of the game, and they still have a strong group of allies by their sides.<\/p>\n

There are no former winners left on\u00a0Survivor 50, so all of these returning players are now not only fighting for their first win, but the first $2 million prize.<\/p>\n
