Overview
- The new trailer confirms cameos by MrBeast, Zac Brown, Jimmy Fallon, and Billie Eilish, prompting complaints from viewers who say the moves fall outside the season’s fan-vote premise.
- Jeff Probst says the guests are genuine Survivor fans who pitched their own ideas, and he positioned them to influence the game’s structure.
- Probst describes the additions as a way to gauge whether star power induces idolatry that could derail players’ decision-making.
- Reporting traces the MrBeast crossover to a CBS publicist’s child spotting a Survivor buff in a MrBeast video, which led to an invitation and a Fiji set visit.
- Specific mechanics remain undisclosed to avoid spoilers, with Fallon and Eilish mentioned only obliquely in the promo.
