FAMU-FSU Engineering professor returning to ‘Survivor’ for milestone season

  • February 20, 2026

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – CBS’s premiere of the 50th season of Survivor is less than a week away, and a Tallahassee contestant is returning to the show!

Christian Hubicki is a robotics-professor the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. He was previously on the 37th season of the reality TV series in 2018.

He said that on the same day he signed up to take the job in Tallahassee, he was told he’d be on the show. He did not win during that season, but he’s back this year with several other fan-favorites, and there’s a lot of local excitement.

“It is amazing to see the people who come up to you out of the woodwork,” he said. “People at the coffee shop are like, ‘Christian, you’regoing to be on Survivor, that’s cool!’”
