Survivor opted to pre-tape the winner reveal on-location in Fiji for Seasons 41 and 41 due to the uncertainty over whether there would be a live reunion show because of the pandemic. Probst says it's a model that Survivor plans to stick with the on-location reveals in future seasons. "We feel really good about the excitement and energy that comes with doing the vote reveal in the jungle, immediately followed by an After Show when the players are still in game mode," he tells EW while discussing Wednesday's Survivor 42 finale. "It's so vastly different from the live reunion show because it's happening in real time. The players have not had six months to watch the episodes and be influenced by the criticism or praise they have received on social media. This is pure. The live reunion show offers something different, where players are all dressed up and it's as much about "what do they look like now" (which can be very fun!) as it is about the actual game. I think fans will enjoy the Survivor 42 After Show! I wholeheartedly recommend watching it, I think you'll see why we find it so appealing. For now, the vote reveal in the jungle and the After Show is part of the new era and new format of our game. But like everything on Survivor, it's always in a state of flow."
