The tribe has spoken… a little too early.<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s finale of “Survivor 50” mixed pre-taped elements from Fiji with live footage from the end-of-season event in Los\u00a0Angeles. But a mixup in the order of what was shown toward the end of the finale’s second hour accidentally revealed the person who lost a pivotal challenge and became the season’s last juror.<\/p>\n

Before the previously filmed firemaking challenge revealed who lost, host Jeff Probst and\u00a0player Rizo “RizGod” Velovic did a live segment in which Probst announced Rizo as the final juror.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TVLine Survivor expert Nick\u00a0Caruso, who was in attendance in California, reports that the audience audibly gasped when they realized what had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can watch the moment, as well as Probst’s post-commercial break mea culpa, below:<\/p>\n
